Section 2.01 Revolving Loans.

(a) Making of Revolving Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date,

28

in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each borrowing and Continuation under Section 2.08 of, and each Conversion under Section 2.09 of Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum of $3,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.14, a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments.  Within the foregoing amount limitations and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent.  Any such telephonic notice shall include all information required to be included in a Notice of Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrowers pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing sent to the Administrative Agent on the same day of the giving of the telephonic notice.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrowers.  Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrowers may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrowers with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrowers on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter (but in any event no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter).

(c) Funding of Revolving Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under subsection (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 9:00 a.m. Central time on the date of such proposed borrowing of Revolving Loans.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrowers in the account specified in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders.  With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Closing Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender.  In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrowers but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with

29

banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If any Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing.  Any payment by any Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

Section 2.02 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Banks, on behalf of the Lenders, agree to issue for the account of the Borrowers during the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the date five (5) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby or commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $100,000,000 (the “L/C Commitment Amount”).

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit.  At the time of issuance, the form of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may any Letter of Credit have an expiration date beyond the earlier of (A) the one-year anniversary of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank) and (B) the one-year anniversary of the Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, (i) a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension or “evergreen” renewal of the expiration date for additional one-year periods in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from such Issuing Bank, but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date set forth in subclause (B) above and (ii)  no later than five (5) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, (x) the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized each Letter of Credit, if any, with an expiration date beyond the Revolving Termination Date in an amount equal to 100% of the Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to each such Letter of Credit or (y) the Borrowers have otherwise provided for such Letter of Credit Liabilities pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank.  The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $5,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Partnership).

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrowers shall give the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent written notice at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in any particular instance) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date.  The Borrowers shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby or commercial letters of credit, and other forms as are customarily or reasonably requested from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank.  Provided the Borrowers have given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction or waiver of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the applicable beneficiary.  The Issuing Banks shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause any such Issuing Bank or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.

30

References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.  Upon the written request of any Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Borrower a copy of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof.  To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Letter of Credit Document shall (a) (i) contain any representations and warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement and any representations and warranties, covenants and events of default shall be subject to the same qualifiers, exceptions and exclusions as those set forth in this Agreement or (ii) provide for any collateral security or Liens and (b) to the extent contained therein, any such provision shall be rendered void and any such qualifiers, exceptions and exclusions shall be incorporated therein mutatis mutandis.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations.  Upon receipt by any Issuing Bank of any demand for payment from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrowers in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation.  The Borrowers hereby absolutely and unconditionally agree to pay and reimburse each Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under the Letter of Credits issued by such Issuing Bank within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice from such Issuing Bank that payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind.  Upon receipt by any Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of subsection (i) below such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement.  Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in subsection (d) above, the Borrowers shall advise the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks whether or not the Borrowers intend to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Banks for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if the Borrowers do, the Borrowers shall submit a timely Notice of Borrowing.  If the Borrowers fail to so advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, or if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit within two (2) Business Days after the date such demand is made, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Section 5.02 would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. Central time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.  The minimum amount limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.01(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

31

32

supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders shall have consented thereto.  In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrowers shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.05(c).

(a) Swingline Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $40,000,000.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b) Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans.  The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan.  Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing.  Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrowers pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy or electronic communication on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice.  Not later than 3:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrowers in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

(c) Interest.  Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, or at such lower rate or rates as the Borrowers and the Swingline Lender may otherwise agree from time to time in writing.  Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (except to the extent a Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to subsection (e) below).  All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.04 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d) Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc.  Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers.

(e) Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers may agree in writing).  To the extent that any Swingline Loan remains outstanding five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was advanced, the Swingline Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan on such date.  The minimum amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.01(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection.  The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 9:00 a.m. Central time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed

34

date of such borrowing.  Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Not later than 9:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V.  If the Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including the existence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.01(e) or (f), each Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or Event of Default (including any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.01(e) or (f)), or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein).

Section 2.04 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

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

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists pursuant to Section 10.01(a), 10.01(e) or 10.1(f), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of

35

the Loans that are overdue, overdue interest, overdue Reimbursement Obligations and/or any overdue Fees.

(b) Payment of Interest.  All accrued and unpaid interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement commencing with July 1, 2012; and interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates.  The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrowers (the “Borrower Information”).  If, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.11, it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent as the result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrowers shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice.  Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Number of Interest Periods.

Without the consent of the Administrative Agent, there may be no more than eight (8) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.06 Repayment of Revolving Loans.

The Borrowers shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

Section 2.07 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.  Subject to Section 4.04, the Borrowers may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty.  The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent at least (i) one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of the prepayment of any Base Rate Loan and (ii) three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of the prepayment of any LIBOR Loan.  Each voluntary prepayment of (x) Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or lesser outstanding amount) and integral multiples of $500,000 (or lesser outstanding amount) in excess thereof and (y) LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 (or lesser outstanding amount) and integral multiples of $500,000 (or lesser outstanding amount).

36

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Revolving Commitment Overadvance.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.

(ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Amounts paid under subsection (b)(i) above shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.02 and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations.  If the Borrowers are required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.04.

Section 2.08 Continuation.

So long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrowers may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrowers giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation or telephonic notice thereof not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Any such telephonic notice shall include all information required to be included in a Notice of Continuation and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrowers pursuant to a Notice of Continuation sent to the Administrative Agent on the same day of the giving of the telephonic notice.   Any such written notice by the Borrowers of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic communication or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Except as expressly provided herein, each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrowers shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if an Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.09 or the Borrowers’ failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.09 Conversion.

The Borrowers may on any Business Day, upon the Borrowers’ giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic communication or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if an Event of Default exists.  Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.  Each such Notice of Conversion

37

or telephonic notice thereof shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion in the case of a Conversion to LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day otherwise.  Any such telephonic notice shall include all information required to be included in a Notice of Conversion and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrowers pursuant to a Notice of Conversion sent to the Administrative Agent on the same day of the giving of the telephonic notice.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall specify (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Except as expressly provided herein, each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.

Section 2.10 Evidence of Obligations; Notes.

(a) Notes.  To the extent any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it wishes to receive a Revolving Note, the Revolving Loans made by such Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement and the records referenced in clause (b) below, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.  To the extent the Swingline Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it wishes to receive a Swingline Note, the Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrowers shall, in addition to this Agreement and the records referenced in clause (b) below, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender.

(b) Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrowers, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be evidenced by and recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.08, in the absence of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.08 shall be controlling.

(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrowers of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers shall, at their own expense, execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.11 Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitment.

The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate, and shall be irrevocable once

38

given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent); provided that any such notice may be conditioned on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction and may be rescinded or postponed on or prior to the proposed commitment reduction date if such refinancing or other transaction is not consummated or is delayed (“Commitment Reduction Notice”).  Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction.  The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased (other than pursuant to Section 2.15) or reinstated.  The Borrowers shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Lender in accordance with Section 4.04.

Section 2.12 [Reserved].

Section 2.13 Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Commitment Termination.

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the existence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral for each such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

Section 2.14 Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11 shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time.

Section 2.15 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

The Borrowers shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $1,250,000,000 (the “Maximum Increase Amount”).  Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Increase Amount obtained prior to such date).  The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers, shall manage (unless it waives such right pursuant to written notice thereof to the Partnership) all aspects of the syndication of the proposed new Revolving Commitments, including identifying each new Eligible Assignee to whom any portion of the new Revolving Commitments shall be allocated, the timing of all offers to Lenders and other Eligible Assignees and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent will consult with Borrowers with respect to the syndication of the proposed new Revolving Commitments, (ii) any allocation to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall be subject to the consent of Borrowers, Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that is the issuer of Letters of Credit having an aggregate Stated Amount in excess of $5,000,000 (in the case of Borrowers, in their sole discretion, and, in the case of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or

39

delayed) and (iii) any allocation to a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund shall be subject to the consent of Borrowers in their reasonable discretion and each Issuing Bank that is the issuer of Letters of Credit having an aggregate State Amount in excess of $5,000,000.  No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment, and any new Eligible Assignee becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee.  If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.02(j) that have not been repaid by the Borrowers, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 4.04 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.  Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent:  (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) the Parent shall have delivered a written certificate confirming compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.01 as of the date of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered under Section 8.01 or 8.02 both before and after giving effect to any such increase and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that deliveries in substantially the same form and substance consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be satisfactory):  (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrowers to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) to the extent applicable and requested by any Lender, new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers and payable to any new Lenders, and/or replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers and payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and (iv) a Joinder Agreement.

Section 2.16 Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a) Generally.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form.  The Borrowers hereby agree to be bound by any Notice of Borrowing: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrowers; or (ii) made in the Borrowers’ name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these Transfer Authorizer Designation Form, even if not properly authorized by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers further agree and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrowers to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrowers identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to

40

detect errors in information provided by the Borrowers.  If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of any Transfer Authorizer Designation Form or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized Notices of Borrowing, the Borrowers agree that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.

(b) Funds Transfer.  The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made.  The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law.

(c) Limitation of Liability.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be liable to any Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrowers’ transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s control.

Section 2.17 Extension.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders (including any Lender in its separate capacity as an Issuing Bank) having Revolving Commitments with a like Revolving Termination Date on a pro rata basis and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders and Issuing Banks that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the then effective Revolving Termination Date in respect of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitments (and, if applicable, any such Lender’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to such extended Revolving Commitments) and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or as of the effective date of any such Extension, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and extended final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) with respect to all or a portion of such Revolving Commitment extended (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings (“Extended Revolving Loans”), shall be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with substantially the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the Borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended

41

Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Revolving Termination Date applicable to any non-extending Revolving Commitments and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Revolving Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the effective date of any Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) subject to the provisions of clauses (e) and (f) below to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after any Revolving Termination Date when there exists Extended Revolving Commitment with a later Revolving Termination Date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments (and except as provided in clauses (e) and (f) below, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Revolving Termination Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Commitments with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such tranche of Revolving Commitments on a better than pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche of Revolving Commitments with a later Revolving Termination Date than such tranche of Revolving Commitments, (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Revolving Commitments and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different Revolving Termination Dates, (iii) if the aggregate principal of Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrowers pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (iv) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (v) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition (as defined below) shall be satisfied unless waived by the applicable Borrower, and (vi) each of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent such Issuing Bank elects in its sole discretion to continue as an Issuing Bank pursuant to such Extension) shall have consented to such Extension.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.17, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.07 and (ii) an Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $200,000,000, provided that the Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a greater minimum amount of Revolving Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17  (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 12.07, but excluding this Section 2.17) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17; provided that in no event shall any such waiver be deemed to apply to any Event of Default that shall have occurred and is continuing.

(c) Except to the extent set forth in clause (a)(vi) above, no consent of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof); provided that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, modify, renew or extend any Letter of Credit pursuant to any Extended Revolving Commitment

42

unless it shall have expressly consented thereto in its capacity as an Issuing Bank.  All Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations and Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Revolving Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.17, including any modification of the definition of “Revolving Termination Date”.  In addition, if so provided in such amendment, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be re-allocated from the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to the Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the fees applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.  The effective date of any Extension, which shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (a) above, shall be set forth in any such amendment.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof

(e) If the Revolving Termination Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a later Revolving Termination Date, then on the earliest occurring Revolving Termination Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest Revolving Termination Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.02), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolving Commitments as of the effective date of the applicable Extension, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Revolving Termination Date.

(f) If the Revolving Termination Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the Revolving Termination Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall, solely to the extent the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit shall have consented to such Extension in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.02 under (and ratably participated in by the Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated)) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit. 

43

Commencing with the Revolving Termination Date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders and the Issuing Banks consenting thereto under the extended tranches.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.01 Payments.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date on which such payment shall become due (or such later time on such date as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 10.05, the Borrowers shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank.  In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

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

Section 3.02 Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under

44

Sections 2.01(a), 2.02(e) and 2.03(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the Fees under Sections 3.05(a), 3.05(b), and the first sentence of 3.05(c) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.11 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.09, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.05) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.03, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; and (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.02, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.  All payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrowers under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Secured Derivatives Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.02 or Section 10.05, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.02 or Section 10.05, as applicable.  To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not be construed to apply to

45

(i) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or Participant.

Section 3.04 Several Obligations.

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

Section 3.05 Fees.

(a) Closing Fee.  On the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all Fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Partnership, the Arrangers and the Lenders.

(b) Commitment Fees.  During the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a fee equal to the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Commitment of the Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders) multiplied by 0.35% per annum.  Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Revolving Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating an unused commitment fee, the outstanding principal balance of Swingline Loans shall not be factored into the computation.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee equal to the product of a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans multiplied by the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit.  In addition to such Fees, the Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to an amount as separately agreed between the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank (but in any event not to exceed 0.125%).  The Fees provided for in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears (i) quarterly on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the course of this Agreement and (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date or, if earlier, the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or any other transaction relating thereto.

(d) Administrative and Other Fees.  The Borrowers agree to pay the administrative and other Fees of the Administrative Agent as agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.06 Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of

46

Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate, 365 or 366 days) and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.07 Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrowers shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrowers elect to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not contract for or pay and the Lenders not contract for or receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.  The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Sections 2.04(a)(i) and (ii) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.03(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, commitment fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  All charges, other than charges for the use of money, shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.08 Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the amount of Loans, Letters of Credit Liabilities and other extensions of credit hereunder and the interest and payments thereon.  The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrowers from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.09 Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03 shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and applied (in the case of clauses first, second, third, sixth and eighth) at such time or times as may be

47

determined by the Administrative Agent in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below (which amounts, for the avoidance of doubt, reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis any Fronting Exposure which has been Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers); fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s and Swingline Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.02(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect subsection (d) below).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.05(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Fees payable under Section 3.05(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(iii) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (d) below,

48

(y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender that has not been Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) no Event of Default shall be continuing and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i) If the reallocation described in subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, with respect only to Letter of Credit Liabilities, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to subsection (d) above and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(iii) The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to clause (iv) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to all Defaulting Lenders, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

49

(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection (e) following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to subsection (b) above, the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall be returned to the Borrowers or otherwise applied in accordance with Applicable Law.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that is the issuer of Letters of Credit having an aggregate Stated Amount in excess of $5,000,000 agree in writing that a Lender 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 Cash Collateral posted by a Defaulting Lender), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to subsection (d) above), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h) Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 3.09 are in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Borrowers may have, at law or in equity, against the Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender including any claim for breach of contract.

Section 3.10 Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a) Issuing Bank.  For purposes of this Section 3.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding 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 the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction

50

or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender 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 the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender 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 3.10(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender (including for this purpose, the Administrative Agent) that is a United States person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender 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

51

be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States 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, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide certification on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the

52

Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender 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.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, 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 Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h). The agreements in paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,

53

the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

Section 3.11 Co-Borrowers.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. All Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower.  Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of Loans from any borrowing hereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its Obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Fraudulent Transfer Laws, in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to any other Loan Party to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to (i) Applicable Law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Borrower and other Affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under the Guaranty by such parties.

(b) Subrogation. Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in, each Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution (other than as provided below) or any other right to enforce any remedy that it now has or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Guarantor of the Obligations. Each Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights such Borrower may have against the other Borrowers, any collateral or security or any such other Guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against the other Borrowers, any such collateral or security, and any such other Guarantor.  The Borrowers together desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their Obligations arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Accordingly, each Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Borrowers in the amount of such other Borrowers’ Obligation Fair Share Shortfalls as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Borrower’s Obligation Aggregate Payments to equal its Obligation Fair Share as of such date.  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Borrower.  The allocation among Borrowers of their Obligations as set forth in this Section 3.11 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document.

(c) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to (i) proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any

54

balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Secured Parties in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any other Borrower or any Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to duly credit to Borrowers payments actually received by Lenders in full satisfaction of the Obligations (and which payments are not being contested or subject to ongoing proceedings for or an order directing disgorgement or reimbursement to Borrowers); (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims (except after payment in full of the Obligations, which payments are not being contested or subject to ongoing proceedings for or an order directing disgorgement or reimbursement to Borrowers), and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default under this Agreement, the Secured Derivatives Contracts, the Secured Cash Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in the Guaranty and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof (other than payment in full of the Obligations, which payments are not being contested or subject to ongoing proceedings for or an order directing disgorgement or reimbursement to Borrowers).

ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.01 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender determines that compliance with any Regulatory Change has or could have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of any holding company of such Lender, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Revolving Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans or participating in Letters of Credit to a level below the rate which such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such compliance with such Regulatory Change (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrowers shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender to the extent that such Lender determines such reduction on the rate of return of capital is allocable to such Lender’s obligations hereunder (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on any arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(b) Additional Costs.  In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection but subject to the provisions of Section 3.10 (which shall be controlling with respect to the

55

matters covered thereby), the Borrowers shall within thirty (30) days after written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on any arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such Lender after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant) for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making, Continuing, Converting into or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, compulsory loan, special deposit or similar requirements or imposes any insurance charge against assets, deposits or credit extended or participated in by such Lender (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including the Revolving Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c) [Reserved]

(d) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit.  Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by such Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay immediately to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on any arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of applicable the Issuing Bank or Lender after consideration of such factors as such Issuing Bank or Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the Closing Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank and such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section or Section 3.10 as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any

56

Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Administrative Agent).  The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrowers (and in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant, to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.10 or this Section 4.01 to the contrary, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender, Issuing Bank or Participant pursuant to such Sections for any amount incurred or reductions suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Participant obtains actual knowledge of the event that gives rise to such claim (except that, if the change giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.02 Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

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

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that they have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrowers shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  Any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrowers with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded or Converted into a request for borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the Borrowers’ option, in each case, without payment of any amount under Section 4.04.

Section 4.03 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.05 shall be applicable) and the Borrowers shall, on the last day of each current

57

Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan or if earlier, any such date as shall be required by Applicable Law, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  Any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrowers with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded or Converted into a request for borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the Borrowers’ option, solely with respect to the affected Lender, in each case, without payment of any amount under Section 4.04.  Nothing in this Section 4.03 shall affect the obligation of any other Lender to make or maintain Loans, or to Convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 4.04 Compensation.

The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities which such Lender may sustain which are attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrowers for any reason (other than with respect to such Lender failing to fund its obligations pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation (except as set forth in Sections 4.02 and 4.03).

Such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page) at the commencement of such period for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period.  Upon the Borrowers’ request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrowers with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.05 Treatment of Affected Loans.  If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.02 or 4.03 on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.02 or 4.03 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

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

58

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

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.03 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.  If the Administrative Agent gives such notice to the Borrowers that the circumstances specified in Section 4.02 that gave rise to the Conversion of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (and the Administrative Agent agrees to do so promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist), then such Base Rate Loans shall then be eligible to be Converted at the Borrowers’ request in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.09.

Section 4.06 Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10 or 4.01, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.03, (c) any Lender does not approve any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 12.07 at any time that the consent of the Requisite Lenders has been obtained to such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, (d) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (e) any Lender is subject to an Insolvency Event, then, the Borrowers may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.06(b) for a purchase price equal to (without duplication) (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.02(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid Fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee; provided that the Borrowers may not make such demand with respect to any such Lender that is also an Issuing Bank (unless such Issuing Bank is a Defaulting Lender) unless, prior to the effectiveness of the demanded assignment, arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (including (x) the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or (y) Cash Collateralizing the Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit held by such Issuing Bank (or such outstanding Letter of Credit has been cancelled)) have been made with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or such outstanding Letter of Credit has been cancelled).  Each of the Administrative Agent (to the extent reasonably requested therefor) and the Affected Lender shall cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to find an Eligible Assignee.  The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrowers’ obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 3.10 or 4.01) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrowers exercise their option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 12.06.  In the event that a Lender does not comply with the

59

requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day of such notice, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have approved such assignment, and such deemed approval shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 12.06 without any action by any other party hereto (including the Administrative Agent) and the Administrative Agent shall record the same.

Section 4.07 Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 4.07) agrees that it will (as promptly as practicable upon becoming aware) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to (a) designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.10, 4.01 or 4.03 or take such measures as such Lender may deem reasonable to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion and (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or results thereunder pursuant to Section 3.10, 4.01 or 4.03 would be reduced or alleviated.  In no event shall a Lender be required to establish a Lending Office located in the United States to comply with the requirements of this Section.

Section 4.08 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

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

(g) Material Contracts.  Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Material Contracts, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Environmental Laws.  Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries: (i) is in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to its business, operations and the GGP Properties, (ii) has obtained all Governmental Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws, and each such Governmental Approval is in full force and effect, and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals, where with respect to each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) the failure to obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except for any of the following matters that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received notice of, any past, present, or threatened releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the Properties, may:  (x) cause or contribute to a violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other common-law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the GGP Properties to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing or recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal, clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law.  There is no civil, criminal, or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, demand letter, order, lien, investigation, or proceeding pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened, in writing against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating in any way to Environmental Laws which, reasonably could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As of the Closing Date, none of the GGP Properties is listed on or formally proposed for listing on the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, or any state or local priority list promulgated pursuant to any analogous state or local law of sites requiring or undergoing investigation or remediation in respect of a liability under Environmental Laws that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  To any Loan Party’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from the GGP Properties are or have been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority list, or any other location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law, except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Investment Company.  None of the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(o) Margin Stock.  None of the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

65

(p) Accuracy and Completeness of Information.  All written information, reports and other papers and data (other than any financial projections, other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific-nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with the Loan Documents by or on behalf of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or on your or their respective behalf, when taken as a whole, neither contained at the time furnished any untrue statement of a material fact nor omitted to state a material fact (known to the Parent or Borrowers, in the case of any document not furnished by any of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.  Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Parent or Borrowers to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

(q) Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions.  None of the assets of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries constitutes “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder, other than amounts deducted from employee compensation and temporarily held by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to being contributed to employee benefit plans in which employees of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries participate.  Assuming that no Lender funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute non-exempt “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

(r) Sanctioned Persons.  None of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Parent or any Borrower, (i) any director, officer, agent or employee of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any Affiliate that is Controlled by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any other Affiliate of the Parent (except to the extent in the case of this clause (iii) that the Parent has complied with the filing or notification requirements, if any, under OFAC in connection with or as a result of such Person’s acquisition of Equity Interests of the Parent), is currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC.  Borrowers will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC.

(s) REIT Status.  The Parent (i)  qualifies as, and has elected to be treated as, a REIT and its proposed method of operation is in compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code necessary to maintain its status as a REIT, (ii) has not revoked its election to be taxed as a REIT and such election has not been terminated, and (iii) has not engaged in any “prohibited transaction” as defined for purposes of Section 857(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t) Insurance.  The insurance coverage required by Section 7.04 has been obtained and is in effect.

(u) Security Interests.  Each of the Security Documents creates, as security for the Secured Obligations, a valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Collateral, superior to and prior to the rights of all Persons and subject to no other Liens (except for Customary Permitted Encumbrances to the extent arising under Applicable Law), in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

Section 7.08 Environmental Matters.

(b)           Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c)           If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d)           [Reserved]

(e)           So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers within five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.  When all of the non-contingent Obligations shall have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

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

Section 10.07       [Reserved].

Section 10.08       Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, the Cash Management Banks and the Derivatives Providers under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law.  In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial

83

exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

ARTICLE XI.     THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.01       Resignation, Appointment and Authorization.

(a)           Resignation of Resigning Agent.  Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Resigning Agent”) hereby resigns as “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).  The Lenders hereby acknowledge the resignation of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the appointment of the successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) below.

(b)           Appointment and Authorization of Successor Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII that the Parent is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Loan Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under

84

any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 11.02       Xxxxx Fargo as Lender.

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

Section 11.03       Collateral Matters; Discharge of Guarantors

(a)           Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

(b)           The Lenders hereby authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and (y) obligations and liabilities under Letters of Credit that are Cash Collateralized (including by “grandfathering” in to future credit facilities)); (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide).  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.

(c)           Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, such release shall not (i) entail any

85

consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(d)           The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Secured Parties or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of a Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e)           If any or all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor hereunder shall be the subject of a Disposition, merger, consolidation, liquidation, winding up or dissolution permitted under Section 9.06, the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person effective as of the time of such Disposition, merger consolidation, liquidation, winding up or dissolution.

(f)            By their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, each Lender that is at any time itself a Cash Management Bank or a Derivatives Provider, or having an Affiliate that is a Cash Management Bank or a Derivatives Provider, hereby, for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Cash Management Bank or Derivatives Provider, irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its collateral agent, to take such action as contractual representative on such Cash Management Bank’s and Derivatives Provider’s behalf and to exercise such powers under the Security Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Section 11.03 and any Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that, except with respect to the Collateral, this subsection (f) shall not affect any of the terms of a Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Derivatives Contract or restrict a Cash Management Bank or Derivatives Provider from taking any action permitted by a Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Derivatives Contract, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 11.03 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include each Lender (and Affiliate thereof) in its capacity as a Cash Management Bank or Derivatives Provider.

Section 11.04       [Reserved].

Section 11.05       Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a reasonable description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent

86

not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.  Solely with respect to any request for consent or approval requiring only the consent of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 12.07, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication (which communication shall include a reasonably conspicuous notation regarding the deemed effectiveness thereof absent such lender’s consent), such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 11.06       Notice of Events of Default.

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

Section 11.07       Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

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

87

any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 11.08       Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.09       Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that

88

no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary thereof.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

Section 11.10       Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers and (b) to the extent that the Administrative Agent has become the subject to an Insolvency Event, be removed by the Borrowers, in each case, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice by the applicable party.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrowers only, Section 10.01(e) or (f) exists, be subject to the Partnership’s reasonable approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, or removal by the Borrowers, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee with total capital and surplus in an amount equal to at least $1,000,000,000 and provided no Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrowers only, Section 10.01(e) or (f) exists, be subject to the Partnership’s reasonable approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current

89

Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  From and after the date of the current Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, such Administrative Agent’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit shall cease.  After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of this Agreement as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 11.11       Titled Agents.

Each of the Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 11.12       Secured Derivatives Contracts and Secured Cash Management Agreements.

No Cash Management Bank or Derivatives Providers that obtains the benefits of Section 10.05 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)          in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an  assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(A)          the consent of the Partnership (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default set forth in  Section 10.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrowers only, Section  10.01(e) or 10.01(f) shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender; provided that consent of the Partnership shall be required at all times for an assignment to a Disqualified Institution;

(viii)        No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders.  No assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender, would constitute any of the foregoing.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.04, 12.02 and 12.10 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or a release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be null and void and the Borrowers may exercise any and all rights and remedies in respect thereof including specific performance.

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

(d)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Disqualified Institution or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such

95

Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or consent of this Agreement set forth in Sections 12.07(b) (to the extent affecting its interest) or (c).  Subject to subsection (e) below, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10, 4.01 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 12.06(d) shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s participation interest (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to Borrowers, Administrative Agent or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other Obligations) except to the extent necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other Obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and/or to establish that any such Participant is not a Disqualified Institution.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of a participation for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)           Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10 and 4.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent and express agreement that Section 3.10 and 4.01 shall entitle such Participant to a greater payment.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10(f) as though it were a Lender.

(f)            Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; provided, further that no such pledge or assignment may be made to secure obligations of such Lender to a Disqualified Institution.

(g)           No Registration.  Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, GGP Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), GGPLP L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), GGPLP Real Estate 2010 Loan Pledgor Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GGPLP RE Pledgor”), GGPLPLLC 2010 Loan Pledgor Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GGPLPLLC Pledgor”), and GGPLP 2010 Loan Pledgor Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GGPLP Pledgor” and, together with the Partnership, the LLC, GGPLP RE Pledgor and GGPLPLLC Pledgor, being referred to herein, individually or collectively, as the context shall require, as the “Borrower” or the “Borrowers”), the other Loan Parties party thereto from time to time, the financial institutions party thereto form time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which Credit Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit and other financial accommodations to be made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of the Borrowers; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the Initial Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, letter of credit reimbursement obligations and other amounts that shall be at any time payable by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Reserved.

SECTION 2. The Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Upon the failure by the Borrowers to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, subject to any

applicable grace or notice and cure period, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on written demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant other Loan Document, as the case may be.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.

SECTION 3. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (each a “Contributing Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments (as defined below) exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.  For purposes of the foregoing, (i) “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (1) the Fair Share Contribution Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (2) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any Fraudulent Transfer Laws; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 3, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor and (iii) “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 3), minus (b) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 3. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor.  The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their Guaranteed Obligations as set forth in this Section 3 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.  Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 3.

SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

2

(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contracts, Secured Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;

(iii) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and the corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrowers, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions (except after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, which payments are not being contested or subject to ongoing proceedings for or an order directing disgorgement or reimbursement to any Loan Party), provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(vi) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrowers or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contract, any Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vii) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

(viii) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(ix) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrowers, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(x) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

3

(xi) the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or

(xii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrowers, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty.

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances.  Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied in full and the Revolving Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate.  If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan, Secured Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrowers or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contract, Secured Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time; provided, that interest or fees on any such reinstated Guaranteed Obligations shall not be payable for the period during which the Secured Parties were paid such funds until the date such funds were disgorged by such Secured Parties.

SECTION 6. General Waivers; Additional Waivers.

(a) General Waivers.  Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

(b) Additional Waivers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

(ii) (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

4

(iii) its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

(iv) (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (except after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, which payments are not being contested or subject to ongoing proceedings for or an order directing disgorgement or reimbursement to any Loan Party); (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of:  (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against the other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and

(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

SECTION 7. Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Indebtedness.

(a) Subordination of Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Revolving Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against the Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Secured Parties to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties.  Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until

5

the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6(a).

(b) Subordination of Indebtedness.  Each Guarantor agrees that any and all Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any other Guarantors permitted under Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement which is now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (each an “Obligor”) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to such Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document, any Secured Cash Management Agreement and any Secured Derivatives Contract have been terminated.  If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to an Insolvency Event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash).  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to such Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the Secured Parties, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in substantially the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Secured Parties.  If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.  Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the Secured Parties have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor.

SECTION 8. Limitation of Guaranty.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any Fraudulent Transfer Law.  In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

6

SECTION 9. Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, any counterparty to any Secured Derivatives Contracts, Secured Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contract, any Secured Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10. Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to any Guarantor, at its address set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contracts, any Secured Cash Management Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 12. Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder, except, as permitted under Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any Secured Derivatives Contracts, any Secured Cash Management Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 13. Modification.  Subject to Section 12.07 of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty may be modified only by, and none of the terms hereof may be waived without a written instrument executed by each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS GUARANTY AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RELATED THERETO, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

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

(d) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE GUARANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN BY UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

SECTION 16. Reserved.

SECTION 17. Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.  The Guarantors agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party in connection with the collection and enforcement and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, of amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided, that any such legal fees and expenses shall be limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, taken as a whole.

8

SECTION 18. Setoff.  Subject to the last sentence of this Section, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement, each Secured Party may, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantors against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.09 of the Credit Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its funds and deemed to be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties.
