-21-

by the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.09 and reborrow under this Section 2.01 until the Termination Date, but in no event will any Bank be obligated to make any Advance, if the amount of such Advance plus all other Advances owed to such Bank plus such Bank’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed its Commitment.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances.

(a) Notice of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than noon (New York City time) (x) in the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (or at such other time as the applicable Borrower and the Banks may agree to for such proposed Borrowing) and (y) in the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, on the day of the proposed Borrowing, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof by facsimile or in accordance with Section 9.02. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be given in accordance with Section 9.02, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, identifying therein the requested Borrowing and the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance, provided that the applicable Borrower may not specify LIBOR Advances for any Borrowing if, after giving effect to such Borrowing, LIBOR Advances having more than ten different Interest Periods shall be outstanding. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower that gives such Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Funding of Borrowings. In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.05(b). Each Bank shall, before noon (or 2:00 P.M. in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office, in same day funds, such Bank’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. Each Bank may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower not organized under the laws of a State of the United States of America by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Indemnification of Banks. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. Any Bank requesting indemnification under this Section 2.02(c) shall provide to the applicable Borrower a reasonable explanation of any such loss, cost, or expense for which such Bank requests indemnification.

(d) Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available

-22-

to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of a Borrower, one Business Day after the Administrative Agent requests such payment from such Borrower, which request shall not be sooner than one Business Day after such Bank’s Ratable Portion was due, with interest at the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of such Bank, forthwith upon demand, with interest at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Bank to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

(e) Notes. Each Bank, at its option, may request a Note of the Borrowers payable to the order of such Bank, evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Bank resulting from Advances owing by any Borrower to such Bank, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee at the rate per annum set forth in the Pricing Schedule hereto under the heading “Commitment Fee” for the relevant Rating Category applicable from time to time calculated on the average daily unused amount of such Bank’s Commitment during the period from the Effective Date in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (or joinder pursuant to Section 2.19(a) or Section 2.22(c)) pursuant to which it became a Bank in the case of each other Bank until the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates.

If any Bank is required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, and if as a result thereof there is an increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), unless such Bank withdraws its demand for such additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.16(c), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts, as additional interest hereunder, sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost. Such Bank shall provide to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers a reasonable explanation of such amounts to be paid.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination and Protection. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Parent and the Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.05(b).

If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), such Bank or Issuing Bank shall have the right to give prompt written notice and demand for payment of such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any reduction actually suffered to the Parent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (which notice and demand shall show in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such claim of compensation and the calculation of such additional amount or amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any reduction actually suffered, which such amounts shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), although the failure to give any such notice shall not, unless such notice fails to set forth the information required above or is not delivered within the time period set forth in clause (e) below, release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c); provided that such Bank or such Issuing Bank is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Bank or Issuing Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or

-27-

liquidity requirements. Subject to Section 2.16, such Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts set forth in such notice.

(d) Mitigation Obligations. If any Bank requests compensation under this Section 2.10, then such Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any increased costs under this Section 2.10 or to eliminate the amount of any such increased cost which may thereafter accrue; provided that no such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such selection or change would subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such selection or change.

(e) Delay in Requests. No Bank shall be entitled to recover increased costs pursuant to this Section 2.10, (a) incurred or accruing more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Bank sent to the applicable Borrower a written notice and demand for payment as specified in this Section 2.10 (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), or (b) to the extent that such increased costs have resulted from the failure of such Bank to have complied with Section 2.10(d).

SECTION 2.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency shall assert that it is unlawful (such unlawfulness or such assertion of unlawfulness being an “Illegality Event”), for any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office (such a Bank being an “Affected Bank”) to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Bank to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances or Borrowings into, or to make divisions or combinations of Borrowings resulting in, LIBOR Advances or LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until the time set forth in the next succeeding sentence (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such suspension), and (b) the applicable Borrower shall forthwith Convert all LIBOR Advances of all Banks then outstanding into Advances of another Type in accordance with Section 2.08. The suspension of the obligation of the Banks to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances, as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the withdrawal by each Affected Bank of its notice and demand with respect to the Illegality Event referenced in this Section 2.11, (ii) the replacement by the Parent of each Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(b) hereof with an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affected Bank, and (iii) the termination by the Parent of each Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(c) hereof. If an Illegality Event has ceased to exist with respect to a Bank that has given notice and demand with respect to such Illegality Event pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Bank shall promptly after becoming aware thereof withdraw such notice and demand by giving written notice of withdrawal to the Administrative Agent and the Parent. Upon termination of such suspension pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of such termination, and the Banks shall thereupon again be obligated to make LIBOR Advances and LIBOR Borrowings and to continue to fund, maintain, and Convert LIBOR Advances and LIBOR Borrowings in each case in accordance with and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.12. Payments and Computations.

-28-

(1) Payment Procedures. Each Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than noon on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of payments to an Issuing Bank under Section 2.18) in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, fees or commissions on Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.18(d) ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10, 2.13, 2.16 or 9.04) to the Banks for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes (if any) in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. At the time of each payment of any principal of or interest on any Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the Borrowing to which such payment shall apply. In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent may specify the Borrowing to which such payment shall apply. All of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be absolute and unconditional, and all payments to be made by the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, or setoff.

(a) Computations of Interest. (i) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (except during such times as the Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (ii) all computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, of any fee payable under Section 2.03, Section 2.18(d), or, during such times as the Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, shall be made by the Administrative Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be made by a Bank, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.06, by a Bank) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes (if any) shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(c) Borrower Default. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

-29-

SECTION 2.13. Taxes.

(1) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes (if any) shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note (if any) to any Recipient, then such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(a) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. In addition, each Borrower agrees to timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority, or if the Administrative Agent elects, reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by such Recipient, any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, except if such Other Taxes, or other liability arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Recipient makes written demand therefor.

(c) Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with Section 9.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13(d).

(d) Evidence of Payments; Treatment of Certain Refunds. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes by or at the direction of a Borrower, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, (i) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, if the relevant taxing authority provides a receipt, or (ii) if the relevant taxing authority does not provide a receipt, other reasonable evidence of the payment thereof. Should any Bank or the Administrative Agent ever receive any refund, credit or deduction from any taxing authority to which such Bank or the Administrative Agent would not be entitled but for the payment by a Borrower of Taxes as required by this Section 2.13 (it being understood that the decision as to whether or not to claim, and if

-30-

claimed, as to the amount of any such refund, credit or deduction shall be made by such Bank or the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, thereupon shall repay to such Borrower an amount with respect to such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in Taxes actually obtained by such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and determined by such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Bank or the Administrative Agent and without interest. The Borrowers, upon the request of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall repay to such Bank or the Administrative Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the taxing authority) in the event that such Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will any Bank or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place such Bank or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Bank or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(e) Status of Banks.

(i) With respect to the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.13(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) below) shall not be required if in such applicable Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a

-31-

Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty; (2) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and

(C) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Mitigation Obligations. If any Bank is required by a Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes to any Bank or any taxing authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.13, then such Bank shall (at the request of the Parent) use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or to eliminate the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue; provided that no such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office shall

-32-

be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such selection or change would subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense or would be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(g) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes.

(h) Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.14. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10, 2.13, 2.16, 2.21, 9.04, or 9.06) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Banks participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of the participation purchased from such Bank as a result of such excess payment to (ii) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(a) Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.15. Ratable Reduction or Termination of the Commitments; Effect of Termination. The Parent shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Banks, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Subject to Section 2.19, Commitments terminated or reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence may not be reinstated.

(a) Upon and at all times after any Commitment of any Bank is terminated in whole pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such Commitment shall be zero and such Bank shall have no further obligation to make any Advances.

SECTION 2.16. Replacement of Bank; Additional Right to Terminate Commitments.

(a) Generally. In the event that (i) any Bank demands payment pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10 or 2.13, (ii) any Bank becomes an Affected Bank as set forth in Section 2.11, (iii) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Bank refuses to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof that requires the unanimous approval of all Banks, or the approval of each of the Banks affected thereby (in each case in accordance with Section 9.01), and the consent of the

-33-

Majority Banks shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent (such Bank, a “Non-Consenting Bank”), the Parent shall have the right, to either (x) replace such Bank in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.16(b) or (y) if no Event of Default or Default then exists, terminate such Bank’s Commitment in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.16(c); provided that no such replacement or termination shall be effected without (A) in the case of a replacement pursuant to Section 2.16(b), the prior written consent of the Issuing Banks and Administrative Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but any withholding of consent by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks based on any good faith concern of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks regarding the creditworthiness of the replacement Bank shall be deemed a reasonable withholding of consent), (B) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 2.16(c), a simultaneous reduction of the Letters of Credit in amounts such that there is no increase in the potential exposure of any Issuing Bank that is not participated to other Banks hereunder or such other arrangement (including cash collateralization or the posting of back-to-back letters of credit) in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion to effect the foregoing, and (C) in the case of the replacement or termination of a Bank that is an Issuing Bank, the termination of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or such other arrangement (including cash collateralization or the posting of back-to-back letters of credit) in form and substance acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion.

(b) Replacement of Banks. If the Parent determines to replace a Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16(b), then the Parent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate (provided that the failure by any such Bank that is a Defaulting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:

(iii) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06;

(iv) the Parent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned;

(v) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 9.04(b)), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent (in the case of all other amounts);

(vi) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments;

(vii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(viii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank becoming a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

-34-

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

(c) Termination of Bank’s Commitment. In the event that the Parent determines to terminate a Bank’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), the Parent shall have the right to terminate such Bank’s Commitment and shall give notice to such Bank of the Parent’s election to terminate (a copy of such notice to be sent to the Administrative Agent), and such termination shall become effective on the date specified in such notice (which shall be 15 days after the date of such notice, provided that if the 15th day after the date of such notice is not a Business Day, the date specified in such notice shall be the first Business Day next succeeding such 15th day) unless such Bank withdraws its demand or notice for increased costs or additional amounts (if such a demand or notice is the basis for the proposed termination). On the date of the termination of the Commitment of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), the Borrowers shall pay all amounts owed by the Borrowers to such Bank under this Agreement and under the Note payable to such Bank (if any) (including principal of and interest on the Advances owed to such Bank, accrued fees payable to such Bank and amounts specified in such Bank’s notice and demand (if any) delivered pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.10 or 2.13, as the case may be, with respect to the period prior to such termination) and such Bank shall thereupon cease to be a “Bank” hereunder for all purposes and its Commitment shall be deemed terminated, except that such Bank’s rights under Sections 2.06, 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a “Bank” hereunder.

SECTION 2.17. Certificates of Banks. Without limitation of the requirements of Section 2.10(c), any Bank or Issuing Bank demanding or giving notice of amounts due to such Bank or Issuing Bank under this Article II shall, as part of each demand or notice for payment required under this Article II, deliver to the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis of the increased costs or additional amounts payable to such Bank hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.18. Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance. Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions herein set forth, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of each Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until five Business Days before the Termination Date; provided that:

(i) at no time shall the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceed $250,000,000;

(ii) at no time shall the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit issued by (A) Citibank, N.A. be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Citibank, N.A. in its sole discretion, (B) DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch in its sole discretion, (C) Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch in its sole discretion, (D) HSBC Bank USA, NA be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by HSBC Bank USA, NA in its sole discretion, or (E) Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association in its sole discretion;

(iii) at no time shall a Letter of Credit be issued if, after giving effect thereto, any Bank’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities plus the aggregate amount of Advances owed to such Bank exceed such Bank’s Commitment;

-35-

(iv) no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Governmental Requirement shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; and

(v) without the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit shall be on a sight basis only.

(b) Expiration. No Letter of Credit shall have a Stated Expiry Date later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of its issuance unless the applicable Issuing Bank otherwise agrees to a later Stated Expiry Date or, subject to the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit contains language providing for its automatic renewal or (ii) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit as of the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date, plus fees and expenses related to such Letter of Credit over its remaining term. In the case of a Letter of Credit containing language providing for its automatic renewal, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any such automatic renewal would cause the Stated Expiry Date of such Letter of Credit to be later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, the applicable Issuing Bank may give notice to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit that such automatic renewal shall not take place, unless the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(c) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or an outstanding Letter of Credit shall be amended, renewed or extended) on notice given by a Borrower to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof) not later than noon on the third Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Letter of Credit”) shall be given in accordance with Section 9.02, in substantially the form of Exhibit C, specifying therein the requested (i) date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (iii) amount of such Letter of Credit (which must be in Dollars), (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) purpose and terms of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be to secure Debt), (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, if applicable; provided that any notice of an amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the written consent of the beneficiary thereto. Additionally, if requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Issuing Bank, an application for letter of credit on such Issuing Bank’s standard form or on another form agreed upon by such Borrower and such Issuing Bank. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. In addition to the other conditions precedent set forth above, if any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Banks will be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank is satisfied that any exposure that would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof satisfactory to such Issuing Bank.

(d) Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee in a percent per annum to be agreed between the Parent and the applicable Issuing Bank at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (ii) to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit fee (which fee shall be shared ratably by all Banks (including the Issuing Banks) based on their respective Ratable Portions) of the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Advances from time to time, in each case computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, on the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit, from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the Expiration Date for such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter and on such Expiration Date and, if applicable, on the Termination Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Bank is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (x) to the extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective portions of such reallocation, and (y) to the extent that all or a any portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated and have not been Cash Collateralized by any Borrower, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section); provided that, subject to Section 2.21(c), a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to any fees in respect of Letters of Credit that are due and payable to such Defaulting Lender prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender. Additionally, the Borrowers agree to pay all standard administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges and reasonable costs and expenses of the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with each Letter of Credit (including mailing charges and reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures).

(e) Reimbursement. The Borrowers will immediately and unconditionally pay to the applicable Issuing Bank upon demand the amount of each payment made under any Letter of Credit. If the Borrowers shall fail to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of any such payment immediately upon demand in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) the amount of any unreimbursed reimbursement obligation shall be deemed to be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing on the date of such payment in an equivalent amount and the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by such resulting Base Rate Borrowing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Bank’s Ratable Portion thereof, (iii) promptly following receipt of the notice described in clause (ii), each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Portion of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Advances made by such Bank and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(f) Defaulting Lender. If any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by notice to the Parent and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to provide Cash Collateral to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to at least the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata

-37-

in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity, genuineness or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set‑off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C Related Documents or any other transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any exchange, release or non‑perfection of any collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any guarantee of all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit.

however, this Section 2.18(g) shall not limit any right of a Borrower to make a claim against any Issuing Bank to the extent provided in Section 2.18(h).

(h) Liability. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of such Letter of Credit. None of the Administrative Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Banks nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by it against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of the relevant

-38-

Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding clauses (i) through (iv) of this sentence, the applicable Borrower shall have a claim against the applicable Issuing Bank, and the applicable Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential or other, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves (in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) were caused by (A) the applicable Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (B) the applicable Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (C) the applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with either the ICC International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, 1998 Revision or the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, 2007 Revision, as selected in such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(i) Participations. Upon the date of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been deemed to have purchased from the applicable Issuing Bank a ratable participation in the related Letter of Credit Liabilities equal to such Bank’s Ratable Portion at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each such participant Bank by facsimile or email of each Letter of Credit issued or increased, the amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter of Credit and each payment thereunder. Upon the making of any payment under any Letter of Credit, each Bank (other than the applicable Issuing Bank) shall, upon notice from the applicable Issuing Bank, pay for the purchase of its participation therein by payment to the applicable Issuing Bank of funds in the amount of its participation in such payment. Such payment shall be made on the same Business Day such notice is given if such notice is received by 12:00 noon on such Business Day, and on the next succeeding Business Day after receipt of such notice if such notice is received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(a) Request for Increase; Additional Banks. Provided that (i) there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 5.01(b), (ii) no Event of Default then exists, and (iii) no Event of Default would result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent may from time to time request and effectuate increases in the aggregate Commitments by an amount not exceeding $500,000,000 (the “Commitment Increase Amount”) without the consent of any Bank (other than a Bank that is increasing its Commitment in connection with such request) by adding to this Agreement one or more financial institutions as Banks or by allowing one or more existing Banks to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (x) any such increase shall be in a minimum amount of, and in increments of, $25,000,000, (y) no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and (z) each new Bank providing a Commitment as part of any increase shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

-39-

(b) Effective Date and Allocations. If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a Responsible Person of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (b) and (a), respectively, of Section 5.01, (2) there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 5.01(b), and (3) no Event of Default then exists, and no Event of Default would be caused by such increase and (ii) to the extent any financial institutions are being added to this Agreement as Banks in order to provide all or a portion of such increase, if requested by the Administrative Agent, favorable customary opinions of counsel for the Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, covering such matters relating to the increase in the aggregate Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Borrowers shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(b)) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Advances ratable with any revised Ratable Portions arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

Each Borrower (other than the Parent) hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for giving and receiving notices in connection with this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents. Any notice which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given by some or all Borrowers, or by any Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given only by the Parent, whether or not such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. If a Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to such Defaulting Lender:

-40-

(a) Reallocation of Letter of Credit Liabilities. The Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment); provided that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Credit Extensions may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, and (ii) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Bank may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender.

(b) Cash Collateral. To the extent that any portion (the “Unreallocated Portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.21(a) above or otherwise, the Parent will, or will cause another Borrower to, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the applicable Issuing Bank), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the Unreallocated Portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities, or (ii) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any amount paid by the Borrowers or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 8.15) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with such amounts owed, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Banks hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed disbursements made with respect to a Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(d) Right to Give Drawdown Notices. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Parent (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 in such amounts and at such times as may be required to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any reallocation under

-41-

Section 2.21(a)) if and to the extent the Borrowers do not comply with their obligations to provide Cash Collateral under Section 2.21(b).

(e) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. The Parent may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Banks thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.21(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.22. Extension of Termination Date.

(a) Request for Extension. No earlier than 90 days prior and no later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly, but in any event within 3 Business Days after receipt of such notice, notify the Banks), the Borrowers may request an extension of the Termination Date for an additional one-year period; provided that no more than two (2) of such one-year extensions shall be permitted hereunder. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Banks).

(b) Bank Elections to Extend; Payments to Declining Banks. Each Bank that agrees in its sole discretion to extend its Commitment (an “Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period of its agreement to extend its Commitment. The Commitment of any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the Borrowers’ request for an extension of the Termination Date within such time period (a “Declining Bank”) shall be terminated on the Termination Date then in effect for such Bank (without regard to any extension by other Banks) and the aggregate Commitments of all Banks shall be reduced by the total Commitments of all Declining Banks expiring on the Termination Date (without giving effect to the extension request) unless and until one or more lenders (including other Banks) shall have agreed to assume a, or increase its, Commitment hereunder in accordance with clause (c) below. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Bank of the Banks’ responses to each request made hereunder. The Borrowers shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Advances and Letter of Credit Liabilities owing to such Declining Bank, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement and all other amounts due to such Declining Bank under this Agreement on the Termination Date (without giving effect to the extension request) or the earlier replacement of such Declining Bank pursuant to clause (c) below.

(c) Replacement of Banks. Subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent may require any Declining Bank to (and any such Declining Bank shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Banks) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “Replacement Bank”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment otherwise complies with Section 9.06 and (ii) such Declining Bank receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Advances and Letter of Credit Liabilities owing to such Declining Bank, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Bank under this Agreement.

-42-

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Termination Date is extended in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective date (the “Extension Effective Date”) of the extension and the final allocation of the Extending Banks’ and the Replacement Banks’ Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Banks of the Extension Effective Date and of such final allocation of Commitments.

(e) Extension; Conditions to Effectiveness. If, but only if, Extending Banks and Replacement Banks have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date, the Termination Date of such Extending Banks and Replacement Banks shall be extended by one year; provided that the Commitment of each Extending Bank and each Replacement Bank shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Commitment of each other Extending Bank and Replacement Bank. In addition, as a condition precedent to such extension, the Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Extension Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a Responsible Person of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (b) and (a), respectively, of Section 5.01, (2) there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 5.01(b) and no Material Adverse Effect would be caused by such extension and (3) no Event of Default then exists or would be caused by such extension and (ii) to the extent there are any Replacement Banks, if requested by the Administrative Agent, favorable customary opinions of counsel for the Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, covering such matters relating to the extension of the Termination Date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(f) Update of Representations and Warranties. Upon and after any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.22, the representation and warranties contained in Sections 4.04(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the financial statements furnished most recently prior to the Increase Effective Date, pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and (a), respectively.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE ISSUING BANKS

SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authority. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

-61-

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent Individually.

(e) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

(f) Each Bank understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrowers, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Bank understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information (other than information required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Banks that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Bank or use on behalf of the Banks, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Bank such documents as are expressly required and provide such notifications as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Banks.

(g) Each Bank further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Banks (including the interests of the Banks hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Bank agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Bank. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary or equitable duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Bank including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on

-62-

behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account, except that the Administrative Agent shall perform all of its obligations that are expressly required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

SECTION 8.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.

(f) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or other debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code or other debtor relief law.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Bank shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing.

SECTION 8.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.

(d) Each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including Tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document; provided that this Section 8.06(b)(iv) shall not affect any express obligations of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Bank under this Agreement to provide notices or information.

SECTION 8.07. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Notes then held by each of them (or if no principal of the Notes is at the time outstanding or if any principal of the Notes is held by any Person which is not a Bank, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments then existing, or, if no such principal amounts are then outstanding (or if any principal of the Notes is held by any Person which is not a Bank) and no Commitments are then existing, ratably according to the respective amounts of the Commitments existing immediately prior to the termination thereof), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents (EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY, BUT EXCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR SUCH ISSUING BANK). IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH ISSUING BANK SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8.07, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for such Bank’s ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Loan Documents, or any of them, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers.

SECTION 8.08. No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers or Joint Book Managers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

SECTION 8.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Parent and the Banks. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Parent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Majority Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Majority Banks, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period notify the Parent and the Majority Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Majority Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and such successor.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

No Issuing Bank shall have, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be so construed as to impose upon it any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until it receives and executes an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Bank that is payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.06, (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith on the part of the Borrowers or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrowers or any other Person; (v) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed, given or sent by the proper party or parties except for liability determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 8.11. Issuing Banks and Their Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, each Bank which is also an Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Issuing Bank; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include any Bank serving as an Issuing Bank in its individual capacity. Any Bank serving as an Issuing Bank and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, all as if such Bank were not an Issuing Bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

SECTION 8.12. Resignation by an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent, each other Issuing Bank and the Banks. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(j) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Issuing Bank which shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Parent.

-67-

(k) If a successor to a resigning Issuing Bank shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the resigning Issuing Bank, with the consent of the Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), shall have the right to then appoint a successor Issuing Bank who shall serve as an Issuing Bank until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor Issuing Bank as provided above.

(l) If no successor Issuing Bank has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above and shall have accepted such appointment by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Issuing Bank, the resigning Issuing Bank’s resignation shall become effective.

(m) After any Issuing Bank’s resignation hereunder as Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Issuing Bank under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.13. Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Managers, Etc. The Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Managers, and Co-Documentation Agents have no duties or obligations under this Agreement. None of the Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Managers, or Co-Documentation Agents shall have, by reason of this Agreement or the Notes, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the holder of any Note, and nothing in this Agreement or the Notes, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to impose on any such agent or arranger any obligation in respect of this Agreement or the Notes.

SECTION 8.14. Removal of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Majority Banks determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Majority Banks may by notice to the Parent and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Parent, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (a) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (b) the date 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Majority Banks (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

SECTION 8.15. Cure of Defaulting Lender. If the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their discretion that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.21), such Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Liabilities of the other Banks and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Credit Extensions of the Banks to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Credit Extension of each Bank will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Bank was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9.04(C), BE INDEMNIFIED FOR THEIR OWN ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE AND THEIR OWN STRICT LIABILITIES.

SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-Off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 7.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks and (y) such Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and such Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition

-73-

to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank may have.

SECTION 9.06. Assignments and Participations.

(1) Assignments by Banks. Each Bank may, in accordance with applicable law, assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that

(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the assigning Bank pursuant to Section 2.18),

(ii) except in the case of an assignment of all of a Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the sum of the Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 (and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof),

(iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,

(iv) the consent of each Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), which consent shall not, in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.16(b), be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned,

(v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for recording by the Administrative Agent in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Notes then held by such assigning Bank and any Notes then held by such assignee and, except in the case of an assignment from a Bank to its Affiliate, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent, and

(vi) no such assignment will be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vi).

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, (y) the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto except that the rights under Sections 2.06, 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 of such Bank shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a party hereto), and (z) unless the Parent in its sole discretion otherwise consents, no such assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.10 and 2.13 than the assigning Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned to such assignee, except as a result of circumstances arising after the date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by

-74-

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

(i) Agreements of Assignor and Assignee. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or any other Person or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any other Person of any of its respective obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (ix) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(j) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of and the principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(k) Acceptance of Assignment by Administrative Agent; Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Notes then held by such assigning Bank and any Notes then held by such assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit E, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof (which notice shall be delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, by mail, or by facsimile) to the Borrowers. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, an authorized officer of each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for any surrendered Notes, a new Note payable to the order of such Eligible Assignee (if a new Note is requested by such Eligible Assignee) in an amount equal to its Commitment after giving effect to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained

-75-

a Commitment hereunder, a new Note payable to the order of the assigning Bank (if a new Note is requested by the assigning Bank) in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder (such new Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, if any, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be properly completed and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit B).

(l) Participations. Each Bank, in accordance with applicable law, may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Parent or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note held by it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments to the Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the terms of any such participation shall not restrict such Bank’s ability to make any amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any Note or such Bank’s ability to consent to any departure by a Borrower therefrom without the approval of the participant, except that the approval of the participant may be required (x) to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder and (y) in the case of an assignment by the Parent of its obligations hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, (vi) unless the Parent in its sole discretion otherwise consents, no such participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.10 and 2.13 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned to such participant by such Bank except as a result of circumstances arising after the date of such participation to the extent that such circumstances affect other Banks and participants generally, (vii) such Bank receives the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) from such participant, and (viii) such Bank, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintains a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form for federal income Tax purposes.

(m) Disclosure of Information. Any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.06, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to comply with Section 9.09.

(n) Certain Pledges and Assignments by Banks. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time (i) create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents (including the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it) including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and (ii) upon notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates.

-76-

(o) No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(p) Defaulting Lenders. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.16), no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and each other Bank (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Ratable Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

SECTION 9.07. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York. This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and any fee letter pertaining hereto accepted by the Parent constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

SECTION 9.08. Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Bank shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it, if any. Accordingly, if the transactions with the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, if any, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, under the Notes, this Agreement or under any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law and any excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, be applied on the principal amount of the obligations owed to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, by the Loan Parties or refunded by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, to the applicable Loan Party, and (b) in the event that the maturity of any Note or other obligation payable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, is accelerated or in the event of any permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law and excess interest, if any, to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank

-77-

or such Bank, as the case may be, be credited by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, on the principal amount of the obligations owed to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, by the Loan Parties or refunded by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, to the applicable Loan Party.

SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) upon the request or demand of any governmental authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it, (d) in response to any order of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over it or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any requirement of law or as requested by any self-regulatory body (in which case it shall (i) promptly notify the Parent in advance of disclosure, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent practicable, and (ii) so furnish only that portion of such information which it is legally required to disclose), (e) if legally compelled to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding (in which case it shall (i) promptly notify the Parent in advance of disclosure, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent practicable, and (ii) so furnish only that portion of such information which it is legally required to disclose) (f) to any other party hereto, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (i) with the written consent of the Parent or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.10. Treatment of Information.

(a) Certain of the Banks may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Banks may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Bank acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis

-78-

of material, non-public information concerning such issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Bank, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Bank or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Bank may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Related Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Bank has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Bank’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Bank’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Bank or any of their respective Related Parties arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Bank.

(b) Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Banks whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Banks to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 9.09) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Banks and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Bank or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Bank that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall modify or limit a Bank’s obligations under Section 9.09 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

(c) Each Bank acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Bank agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Bank’s administrative questionnaire provided to and in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Bank’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(d) Each Bank acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all

-79-

Banks generally. Each Bank that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Banks may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Bank. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Bank with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Bank or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Bank, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(e) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 9.10 are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Banks express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Banks hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party’s or Bank’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Bank with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Banks and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

SECTION 9.11. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.12. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Banks hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 9.13. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding

-80-

brought by the Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any Issuing Bank arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that a final nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Loan Party agrees that any action or proceeding brought by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries against the Administrative Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank, or their Affiliates arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the jurisdictions of incorporation of any Loan Party not incorporated in the United States.

SECTION 9.14. Appointment of Process Agent. The Parent hereby appoints, and shall maintain the appointment of, C T Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the Effective Date at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as its agent to receive on behalf of it service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing by certified mail a copy of such process to the Parent in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, with a copy to the Parent, at its address specified herein, and the Parent hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive and forward such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, the Parent also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail of copies of such process to it at its address specified herein. The Parent agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or affect the right of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to bring any suit, action or proceeding against the Parent or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Banks and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(d) Each of the Banks and each Loan Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

SECTION 9.20. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 9.21. Domicile of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13(f), each Bank may transfer and carry its loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank provided that no Bank shall be relieved of its Commitment as a result thereof.

SECTION 9.22. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Loan Parties, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Bank, either received a copy of a signature page hereof executed by such Bank or been notified by such Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Parent shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Bank.

SECTION 9.23. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement represents an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. Any indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement continues under this Agreement, and the execution of this Agreement does not indicate a payment, satisfaction, novation, or discharge thereof.

SECTION 9.24. Departing Loan Parties. Each party hereto hereby (a) agrees that EII, ENSCO Universal Limited, ENSCO Offshore International Company, Pride International Ltd., Ensco Global IV Ltd. (f/k/a Pride Global Ltd.) and ENSCO Overseas Limited, as borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Departing Borrowers”), and each of the Guarantors under the Existing Credit Agreement (together with the Departing Borrowers, the “Departing Loan Parties”) are hereby released from all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement provided herein), and (b) waives any and all deliverables otherwise required under Section 5.01(k) of the Existing Credit Agreement in order to release the Departing Loan Parties from their obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement.
