1.08 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 3.03(b) of this Agreement, such Section 3.03(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 3.03, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “ LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.03(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(b)   At any time after the Effective Date, Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including any New Lender) may agree that such Lender or Lenders shall make or increase the amount of their Revolving Commitments by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent an Increased Revolving Commitment Activation Notice specifying the amount of such increase or new Revolving Commitment and the applicable Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) at no time may the combined Revolving Commitments exceed $10,000,000,000, (ii) Revolving Commitments may not be made or increased after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default that is continuing, including after giving effect to the incremental Revolving Commitments in question, and (iii) any increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this Section 2.01(b) unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(c)   Any additional bank or financial institution (each, a “ New Lender ”) that, in the case of an institution that is not an Affiliate of a then-existing Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with an increase described in Section 2.01(b) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “ New Lender Supplement ”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, whereupon such bank or financial institution shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(d)   On each Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date on which there are Revolving Loans outstanding, each Lender (including any New Lender) that has made or increased its Revolving Commitment shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of other Lenders, so that, after giving effect thereto, the resulting Revolving Loans outstanding are allocated among the Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(b) on such Increased Revolving Commitment Closing Date.

(e)   Borrower shall repay (i) all outstanding Revolving Loans made to it and all amounts funded by the Lenders as cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(d) on the Revolving Termination Date, the Extended Revolving Termination Date or the Second Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable, and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made to it on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. Borrower may request that the Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments be extended for additional one-year periods by providing written notice to Administrative Agent (“Notice Date”) not more than two times prior to the Revolving Termination Date or the Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable. If a Lender or a New Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to extend its Revolving Commitments and/or Letter of Credit Commitments (such Lender or New Lender, an “Extending Lender” or “New Extending Lender”, as the case may be), it will notify Administrative Agent in writing of its decision to do so and the maximum amount of Revolving Commitments and, if applicable, Letter of Credit Commitments it agrees to so extend no later than 30 days after the applicable Notice Date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Administrative Agent will notify Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders’ decisions no later than 35 days after the applicable Notice Date (“Extension Effectiveness Date”). As of the Extension Effectiveness Date, the Extending Lenders’ and the New Extending Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the Revolving Termination Date (the “Extended Revolving Termination Date”) or the Extended Revolving Termination

Date (the “Second Extended Revolving Termination Date”), as applicable; provided that (i) more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments outstanding on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date are extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any New Extending Lenders (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension and (iii) the remaining tenor of Revolving Commitments of any Extending Lender and any New Extending Lender shall not exceed five years from the applicable Extension Effectiveness Date after giving effect to the requested extension. No Lender shall be required to consent to any such extension request, and any Lender that declines or does not respond in writing to Borrower’s request for commitment renewal (a “ Declining Lender ”) will have its Revolving Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitment terminated on the then-existing Revolving Termination Date or Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable (without regard to any renewals by other Lenders). Borrower will have the right to remove or replace any Declining Lenders in accordance with Section 10.21.

(a)   Borrower may request a Borrowing of Revolving Loans on any Business Day in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor. All Borrowings denominated in Dollars shall constitute Base Rate ABR Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence. All Borrowings denominated in any Alternative Currency shall constitute Eurodollar Base Rate Loans. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any request for a Certain Funds Credit Extension may be revocable or made contingent on the closing of the Target Acquisition (or a portion of the Target Acquisition, including any acquisition of Target shares during the Certain Funds Period); provided that any request for a Certain Funds Credit Extension shall certify that the proceeds thereof shall be used solely for Certain Funds Purposes.

(b)   Following receipt of a Request for Extension of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by Requisite Notice of its Revolving Percentage thereof. Each Lender (subject to clause (d) below) shall make the funds for its Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent in the requested currency at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, all funds so received shall be made available to Borrower in like funds received.

(c)   The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Revolving Loan on such date, but the Revolving Commitments and Competitive Bids of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Loan. Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender which fails to make a Revolving Loan when obligated to do so in accordance with Section 10.21.

(d)   Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be required to pay a greater amount under the increased costs provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 hereof than it would have paid in the absence of the exercise of such option.

(a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but not including the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, each Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency as Borrower may from time to time request; provided , however , that (i) the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at any time, (ii) the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments at any time, (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time and (iv) the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Lender shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Issuing Lender at any time. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date for the account of Borrower, and the participations therein created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by participations created by Section 2.03(b) hereof. Subject to subsection (f) below and unless consented to by the applicable Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent, and except for any Existing Letter of Credit which expires more than 12 months after the date of its issuance or last renewal, no Letter of Credit may expire more than 12 months after the date of its issuance or last renewal; provided , however , that (x) subject to clause (y), no Letter of Credit shall expire after the Business Day which is at least five days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) and (y) a Letter of Credit may expire up to the date that is one year after the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) with the consent of the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as Borrower shall, at least 15 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) (or for any Letters of Credit issued after such date, the date of issuance) deposit cash in the Dollar Amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage applicable to it in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account. In the event that any Lender’s Commitment terminates prior to an extended Revolving Termination Date as contemplated by Section 2.01(e), the respective participations of the other Lenders in all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be redetermined on the basis of their respective Commitments after giving effect to such termination, and the participation therein of the Lender whose Commitment is terminated shall terminate; provided that Borrower shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit within the limits of the Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date all or a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans, and such redetermination and termination of participations in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be conditioned upon their having done so. If any Letter of Credit Usage remains or is expected to remain outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), Borrower shall, at least 15 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), deposit cash in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage applicable to it in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account.

(b)   Borrower may irrevocably request a Letter of Credit Action in a Minimum Amount therefor (or, if such Letter of Credit Action is in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Dollar Amount which is in a Minimum Amount therefor) by delivering a Letter of Credit Application therefor to the applicable Issuing Lender, with a copy to Administrative Agent, not later than the Requisite Time therefor. Each Letter of Credit Action shall be in a form acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. Each such request for a Letter of Credit Action shall, if Sections 4.02(b) and (c) are applicable to such Letter of Credit Action, constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b) and (c) are satisfied. Unless Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Issuing Lender that such Letter of Credit Action is not permitted hereunder, or the applicable Issuing Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it has determined that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any Laws or policies of such Issuing Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender shall effect such Letter of Credit Action. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any Letter of Credit Application. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Effective Date), each applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have

purchased from each applicable Issuing Lender, a participation therein in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit. Each applicable Issuing Lender represents and warrants to each Lender that it has all necessary power and authority to sell and transfer such participation to each Lender, without breach of any Contractual Obligation to any other Person, and that such participation is free and clear of any adverse claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. as an Issuing Lender, shall only be obligated to issue standby Letters of Credit, and shall only be obligated to do so upon at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period of time as Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. shall approve in its sole discretion).

(c)   Borrower shall reimburse each Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent for any payment that such Issuing Lender makes under a Letter of Credit within one Business Day following demand by Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender in Dollars or in the applicable Alternative Currency in which such payment was made; provided , however , that if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit), Borrower may request a Borrowing of Base Rate ABR Loans in the Dollar Amount necessary to reimburse such Issuing Lender for such payment pursuant to Section 2.02 (without regard to the Minimum Amount requirements thereof). If Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Lender. If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, automatically and with no further action required, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable payment by the applicable Issuing Lender shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount of such payment.

(d)   Upon any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower. If Borrower fails to timely make the payment required pursuant to subsection (c) above or to provide cash collateral as required in subsection (a) above, such Issuing Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact and the Dollar Amount of such unreimbursed payment or required cash collateral, as applicable. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Revolving Percentage of such Dollar Amount by Requisite Notice. Each Lender shall make funds in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such Dollar Amount available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such Issuing Lender in the case of reimbursement of a Letter of Credit drawing or to Administrative Agent for deposit in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account, as applicable. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse such Issuing Lender and fund such Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other occurrence or event; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not have a right to be so reimbursed in respect of a Letter of Credit if such Issuing Lender issued such Letter of Credit after being notified by Administrative Agent that such issuance was not permitted hereunder. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein, or to provide cash collateral.

(e)   If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) on any date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse an Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or to provide cash collateral as required in subsection (a) above, the funding by Lenders pursuant to subsection (d) above shall be deemed to be a

Borrowing of Base Rate ABR Loans (without regard to the Minimum Amount therefor) . If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) cannot be satisfied on the date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse an Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or to provide cash collateral in respect of a Letter of Credit, the funding by Lenders pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a funding by each Lender of its participation in such Letter of Credit, and each Lender making such funding shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of its payment, in the claim of such Issuing Lender against Borrower in respect of such payment or obligation to provide cash collateral and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim. Any amounts made available by a Lender under its participation shall be payable by Borrower upon demand of Administrative Agent (or, if earlier, on the Revolving Termination Date, the Extended Revolving Termination Date or the Second Extended Revolving Termination Date, as applicable), and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(f)   Borrower may request Letters of Credit that have automatic extension or renewal provisions (“evergreen” Letters of Credit), so long as the applicable Issuing Lender consents thereto and has the right not to permit any such extension or renewal at least annually within a notice period to be agreed upon at the time each such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an evergreen Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) is issued, unless Administrative Agent has notified the applicable Issuing Lender that Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or renewal, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such evergreen Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) or such later date as may be permitted pursuant to clause (y) of the second proviso of Section 2.03(a). Such Issuing Lender may elect not to permit an evergreen Letter of Credit to be extended or renewed at any time. If such Issuing Lender so elects, it will promptly give Administrative Agent notice of such election. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Lenders of the non-extension or non-renewal of any evergreen Letter of Credit.

(g)   The obligation of Borrower to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower’s obligations shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

(i)   Any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)   Any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto;

(iii)   The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other rights which Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

(iv)   Any demand, statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any

statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v)   Any payment by such Issuing Lender in good faith under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws;

(vi)   Any error in the transmission of any message relating to such Letter of Credit not caused by such Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message;

(vii)   Any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of such Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(viii)   Any consequence arising from acts of God, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender;

(ix)   So long as such Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the document appears to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to such Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; and

(x)    Any other circumstances whatsoever where such Issuing Lender has acted in good faith.

In addition, Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and amendments thereto delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender in writing. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(h) Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee relative to any Issuing Lender, any Lender or any Administrative Agent-Related Person with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided , however , that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Issuing Lender, Administrative

Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsection (g) above in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(i)   Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable Laws, performance under Letters of Credit by each Issuing Lender, its correspondents, and beneficiaries will be governed by, as applicable, the rules of the International Standby Practices 1998, or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, or the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised from time to time.

(j)   Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on each Applicable Payment Date in arrears, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee in Dollars at a rate equal to the Applicable Amount times the actual daily maximum Dollar Amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit requested by Borrower since the later of the Effective Date and the previous Applicable Payment Date. Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender of an Existing Letter of Credit any fees and expenses payable in respect of such Existing Letter of Credit for any period prior to the Effective Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the actual daily Dollar Amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Amount was in effect.

(k)   Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender, for its sole account, a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit requested by Borrower in such amount and at such times as may be set forth in a separate letter agreement between Borrower and such Issuing Lender. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender, upon demand, for its sole account, its customary documentary and processing charges in accordance with its standard schedule, as from time to time in effect, for any Letter of Credit Action or other occurrence relating to a Letter of Credit requested by Borrower for which such charges are customarily made. Such fees and charges are nonrefundable.

(l)   Each Issuing Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, not later than the 20th day after each calendar quarter ending after the Effective Date, a written report, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, setting forth the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and outstanding as of the last day of such calendar quarter, any Letter of Credit Actions effected during such calendar quarter, and any draws made under such Letters of Credit during such calendar quarter.

(m)    Each Issuing Lender may, at its option, issue any Letter of Credit and make any funds available in connection with any Letter of Credit by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Issuing Lender to take such action; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect any obligation of Borrower; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be required to pay a greater amount under the increased costs provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 hereof than it would have paid in the absence of the exercise of such option.

2.04 Competitive Bid Procedure . (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but not including, the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended), Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided that

Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments. To request Competitive Bids, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than the Requisite Time therefor; provided that Borrower may submit up to (but not more than) two Competitive Bid Requests on the same day, but no Competitive Bid Request or Requests shall be made within five Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid Request or Requests, unless any and all such previous Competitive Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all Competitive Bids received in response thereto rejected. Each such telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in a form approved by Administrative Agent and signed by Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request shall specify the following information:

(i)   the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be at least the Minimum Amount therefor);

(ii)  the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)   whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of Fixed Rate Loans (it being understood and agreed that each Borrowing of Competitive Loans shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans); and

(iv)   the Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

(b) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be in a form approved by Administrative Agent and must be received by Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the form approved by Administrative Agent may be rejected by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places) and (iii) the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and the last day thereof.

(c)   Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.

(d)   Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject

each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Competitive Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate with respect to the same Competitive Bid Request, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by Borrower. A notice given by Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable.

(e)   Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f)   If Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

2.05    Reduction or Termination of Revolving Commitments . Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, permanently and irrevocably reduce the Revolving Commitments, in a Minimum Amount therefor to an amount not less than the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations at such time plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time, or terminate the Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees with respect to the portion of the Revolving Commitments being reduced or terminated. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of any such request for reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be reduced pro rata by the amount of such reduction.

(a)   Upon Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans made to it in part in the Minimum Amount therefor or in full without premium or penalty; provided that Borrower may not prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior written consent of the Lender thereof. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof and of such Lender’s percentage of such

prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the costs set forth in Section 3.05.

(b) If for any reason (other than a result of currency fluctuation, which prepayment requirement shall be governed by Section 2.15) the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time exceeds the combined Revolving Commitments from time to time in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or deposit cash in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(a)   Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, a Lender’s Loans may be evidenced by one or more Notes of Borrower, instead of or in addition to its loan accounts or records. Each such Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.

(b)   Administrative Agent shall maintain, at Administrative Agent’s Office, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Extensions of Credit of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register, acting, solely for this administrative purpose only, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower (it being acknowledged and agreed that Administrative Agent and each Administrative Agent-Related Person, in such capacity, shall constitute Indemnitees under Section 10.13).

(c)   Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitment and Extensions of Credit from time to time of each Lender, and each repayment or prepayment in respect thereof. Any recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided , however , that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans.

(d)   Each Lender shall record on its internal loan accounts or records (and may record on the Note(s) held by such Lender) the amount of each Extension of Credit made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error.

(e)   Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders of the corresponding Revolving Commitments and Extensions of Credit listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Revolving Commitment or Extensions of Credit shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment and Assumption effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitment or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is

listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Revolving Commitments or Outstanding Revolving Obligations or outstanding Competitive Loans.

(a)   Subject to Section 2.08(d), Borrower may irrevocably request a Conversion or Continuation of Loans on any Business Day in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor. All Conversions and Continuations of Loans denominated in Dollars shall constitute Base Rate ABR Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence.

(b)   Unless Borrower pays all amounts due under Section 3.05, if any, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be Continued or Converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall) prohibit Loans from being requested as, Converted into, or Continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans, and Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be Converted immediately into Base Rate ABR Loans.

(c)   Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan upon determination of the same. Administrative Agent shall from time to time notify Borrower and Lenders of any change in JPMorgan Chase’s prime rate used in determining the Alternate Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Competitive Loans may not be Converted or Continued.

(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, and unless otherwise specified herein, Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to it (before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on each Applicable Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to:

(i)   in the case of Base Rate ABR Loans, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Amount for such type of Loan;

(ii)   in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than Competitive Loans), the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Amount for such type of Loan;

(iii)   in the case of Competitive Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as the case may be) Margin applicable to such Loan; and

(iv)    in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.

(b)    If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), Borrower hereby promises to pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on such amount at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable

Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be payable upon demand.

(c)    On any Business Day, Borrower may call Administrative Agent and request information as to the then current Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Base Rate or Base Rate , and Administrative Agent shall provide such information.

(a)   Commitment Fee . Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender pro rata according to its Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Amount times the average daily amount of the excess, if any, of its Revolving Commitment over its Outstanding Revolving Obligations (it being understood, for avoidance of doubt, that for purposes of the calculation of the commitment fee, Competitive Loans shall not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Facility). The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Effective Date until the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Applicable Payment Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Amount was in effect. The commitment fee shall accrue at all applicable times, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section 4 are not met.

(b)   Other Fees . Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto (and their respective Affiliates) the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Borrower and such parties (or their respective Affiliates).

2.11      Computation of Interest and Fees . Computation of interest on Base Rate ABR Loans when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by JPMorgan Chase’s “prime rate” based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days or, in the case of any amount denominated in Sterling or Canadian Dollars, 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

(a)   Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any Lender hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time for such type of payment. All payments received after such Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of the calculation of interest and fees, but not for purposes of determining whether a Default has occurred. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars. All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

(b)   Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in accordance with Section 2.12(a) available in like funds received as follows: (i) if payable to Borrower, by crediting a deposit account designated from time to time by Borrower to Administrative Agent by Requisite Notice, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at its Lending Office. If such conditions are not

so satisfied, Administrative Agent shall return any funds it is holding to the Lenders making such funds available, without interest.

(c)   Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

(d)   Subject to Section 4.05, unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent, prior to the Requisite Time any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in reliance thereon, make such payment available to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i)   If Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate; and

(ii)   If any Lender failed to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, (A) from such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, and (B) from Borrower, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(e)   If Administrative Agent or any Lender is required at any time to return to Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or any official under any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, any portion of a payment made by Borrower, each Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, return its share of the amount to be returned, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

2.13      Funding Sources . Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.14      Defaulting Lenders . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)   Fees set forth in Section 2.10(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender;

(b)   To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender in respect of its Revolving Commitment were zero;

(c)   The Aggregate Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification pursuant to Section 10.01), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and in any event, no such amendment, modification, or waiver shall increase the Revolving Commitments or the principal amount of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender, extend the maturity date applicable thereto or decrease the rate of interest (including any commitment fees) payable in respect thereof without the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(d)    If any Letter of Credit Usage exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)   all or any part of such Letter of Credit Usage shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s ratable participation in all Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders;

(ii)   if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent, either (x) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s participation in all Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding or (y) backstop such Letter of Credit Usage with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender;

(iii)   if Borrower cash collateralizes or backstops any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to this subsection (d), Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(j) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized or backstopped;

(iv)   if the Letter of Credit Usage attributable to the Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this subsection (d), then the fees payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(j) and Section 2.10(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Revolving Percentages to account for such reallocation; and

(v)   if any Defaulting Lender’s participation in all Letter of Credit Usage is neither cash collateralized, backstopped nor reallocated pursuant to this subsection (d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuing Lenders or any Lender

hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.03(j) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s remaining participation in all Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lenders until such participation in all Letter of Credit Usage is backstopped, cash collateralized and/or reallocated

(e)   So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral or backstop letters of credit will be provided by Borrower in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection (d)(i) of this Section (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(f)   In the event that each of Administrative Agent, Borrower and Issuing Lenders agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Usage of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such formerly Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such formerly Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such formerly Defaulting Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

(a)   Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of (i) the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (A) on or about the date of the related notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B)   at such other times as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion (but in no case more frequently than monthly), (ii) the Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency based on the Exchange Rate (A) on or about the date of the related notice requesting any Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion and (B) at such other times as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion (but in no case more frequently than monthly) and (iii) any other amount to be converted into Dollars in accordance with the provisions hereof at the time of such conversion.

(b)   If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, deposit cash collateral in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess. If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the Dollar Amount of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations of all Lenders plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans at any time exceeds the combined Revolving Commitments from time to time in effect by more than 105%, Borrower shall, immediately upon receipt of notice thereof from Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay Revolving Loans and/or deposit cash in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess in accordance with Section 2.06(b).

SECTION 3

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes .

(a)   To the extent permitted by Law, any and all payments by or on account of Borrower to or for the account of any Lender Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all present or future income, stamp or other taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed and all interest, additions to tax, or penalties with respect thereto, excluding, (w) in the case of a Lender Party, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on it, (I) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Lender Party is organized or maintains a Lending Office, or (II) by reason of any present or former connection between such Lender Party and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, other than solely as a result of this Agreement or any Note or any transaction contemplated thereby, (x) with respect to each Lender Party, taxes imposed by reason of any present or former connection between such Lender Party and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes, other than solely as a result of this Agreement or any Note or any transaction contemplated hereby, (y) in the case of a Lender Party organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by Borrower under Section 3.06(b)), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Lender Party at the time such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Lender Party’s failure to comply with Section 10.20, except to the extent that such Lender Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section and (z) withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower or Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) Borrower or Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws and (iv) with respect to all withholding taxes, within 30 days after the date of such payment by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent (who shall forward the same to such Lender Party) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b)   In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any and all present or future stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or other similar taxes, charges or levies which arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document except any such taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment by the Lender (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)    Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Lender Party with respect to any Loan or Loan Document and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto ; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify such recipient pursuant to this Section 3.01 in respect of interest, penalties and other liabilities attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, if such interest, penalties other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party. After a Lender Party learns of the imposition of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Lender will act in good faith to

promptly notify Borrower of its obligations hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error .

(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.01, all obligations of Borrower to any Lender under such Section 3.01 shall be subject to, and conditioned upon such Lender’s compliance with its obligations, if any, under Section 10.20.

(e)   If any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund from a relevant taxing or governmental authority in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that in the event such Lender Party is required to repay any or all of such refund to such Governmental Authority (a “Refund Repayment Requirement”), Borrower, upon the request of such Lender Party, agrees to repay to such Lender Party the full amount of such Refund Repayment Requirement (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). This subsection shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.02    Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Laws have made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or Convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rates . If, in connection with any Request for Extension of Credit involving any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (a) Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the requested Eurodollar Rate Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the underlying interest rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b) Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Competitive Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) determine that such underlying interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders (or Lender) of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders (or Lender) to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be suspended until Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate

Loans or, failing that, be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing in any currency (the currency of such Borrowing herein referred to as the “Affected Currency”):

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has determined, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the Affected Currency and such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, for the Affected Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the Affected Currency and such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective, and, if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing, (B) if the Affected Currency is Dollars and if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (C) if the Affected Currency is Canadian Dollars and if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, (D) if the Affected Currency is any other Alternative Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and (E) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Rate Competitive Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Competitive Borrowings in the Affected Currency may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one type of Borrowings, then the other type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has determined, that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurodollar Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the applicable Eurodollar Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Eurodollar Rate), (x) the administrator of the applicable Eurodollar Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurodollar Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Eurodollar Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurodollar Rate has made a public

statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurodollar Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurodollar Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurodollar Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to such applicable Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (including administrative changes) to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Amount); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but , in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 3.03(b), only to the extent the applicable Eurodollar Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan, such Borrowing shall be made (1) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, as an ABR Borrowing, (2) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing and (3) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in any other Alternative Currency, as a Borrowing of Loans bearing interest at a rate for short term borrowings of such Alternative Currency determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and (z) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Rate Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective.

(a)   If any Lender Party determines that the adoption of any Law or any change in any Law or in the interpretation thereof effective after the date hereof:

(i)   Subjects such Lender Party to any tax (excluding taxes described in clauses (w), (y) and (z) of Section 3.01(a), Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans;

(ii)   Imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Adjusted LIBO Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender Party (including its Revolving Commitment); or

(iii)    Imposes on such Lender Party or on the offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender Party of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender Party under this Agreement with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or Fixed Rate Loans or Letter of Credit, then from time to time upon demand of such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)   If any Lender Party determines that the adoption of any Law or any change in any Law or in the interpretation thereof effective after the date hereof, including in regard to capital adequacy and liquidity, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender Party or compliance by such Lender Party (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender Party as a consequence of such Lender Party’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender Party’s desired return on capital and desired liquidity levels), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender Party for such reduction.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender Party shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the adoption of or change in Law or in the interpretation thereof that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

(d)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

3.5    Breakfunding Costs . Subject to Section 3.06(a), upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(b)   Any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

(c) Any failure by Borrower to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

(a)   A certificate of Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error; provided that such certificate (i) sets forth with reasonable specificity the calculation of the amount to be paid, (ii) states that Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is treating substantially all similarly situated borrowers in a manner that is consistent with the treatment afforded Borrower hereunder, (iii) is delivered within 90 days of the later of the date of the event giving rise to such compensation and the date Administrative Agent or such Lender knew or, with the exercise of reasonable care, should have known of the requirements for such compensation, and (iv) confirms (in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04) that either a change in Administrative Agent’s Office or Lending Office, as the case may be, of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, would not have eliminated the request for compensation or that such change would have been otherwise disadvantageous to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. In determining the amount of such compensation, Administrative Agent or any Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b)   Upon any Lender becoming prohibited from making, maintaining or funding Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.02, or upon any Lender making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, Borrower may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.21.

3.07    Survival . All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall survive termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations.

8.2    Remedies Upon Event of Default . Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise (but subject in all cases to the limitations set forth in Section 4.05):

(a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(i) that shall occur following the Certain Funds Termination Date):

(i)   Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and (subject to the terms of Section 9) shall, upon the request of Required Lenders, terminate the Revolving Commitments and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; and

(ii)   Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and (subject to the terms of Section 9) shall, upon the request of Required Lenders, demand immediate payment by Borrower of an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage to be held in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account.

(b)   If (x) following the expiration of the Certain Funds Period, any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(i) occurs or (y) during the Certain Funds Period, an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(i) occurs that is a Major Event of Default, then:

(i)   The Revolving Commitments and all other obligations of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall automatically terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which is expressly waived by Borrower;

(ii)   The unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and

payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; and

(iii) An amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall be immediately due and payable to Administrative Agent without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which is expressly waived by Borrower, to be held in a Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account.

(c)   Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and (subject to the terms of Section 9) shall, upon the request of Required Lenders, protect, exercise and enforce against Borrower the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

(d)   The order and manner in which Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion. Regardless of how a Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder, payments received during the existence of an Event of Default shall be applied first, to costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Administrative Agent and each Lender (to the extent that each Lender has a right to reimbursement thereof pursuant to the Loan Documents), second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations to and including the date of such application, third, to the payment of, or as cash collateral for, the unpaid principal of the Obligations, and fourth, to the payment of all other amounts (including fees) then owing to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents, in each case paid pro rata to each Lender in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all Lenders, without priority or preference among Lenders, subject to the last parenthetical of Section 2.01(a) of the Guarantee Agreement.

8.03    Clean-Up Period . Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for a period commencing on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and ending on the Clean-Up Period Termination Date, any breach of covenants, misrepresentation or other Default or Event of Default (except as otherwise specified in Section 10.01(c)) which arises with respect to the Target Group only will be deemed not to be a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant, a Default or an Event of Default, as the case may be, if:

(a)   it relates exclusively to the Target Group (or any obligation to procure or ensure any action in relation to the Target Group);

(b)   it is capable of remedy and reasonable steps (consistent with Borrower’s level of control of the Target) are being taken to remedy it;

(c)   the circumstances giving rise to it have not been procured by or approved by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than a member of the Target Group); and

(d) it is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;

provided that, if the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the Clean-Up Period Termination Date, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant, Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding this Section 8.03.

SECTION 9

THE AGENTS

9.01 Appointment . Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

9.02 Delegation of Duties . Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions . Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent . (a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in

all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, absent Requisite Notice by such Lender to Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to each Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

9.05 Notice of Default . Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

9.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders . Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.07 Indemnification . Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and Issuing Lender in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure

Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity . Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party and its affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.09   Successor Administrative Agent . Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(i) with respect to Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9   shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10   Co-Documentation Agents and Syndication Agent . None of Co-Documentation Agents nor Syndication Agent nor any Person identified on the cover page of this Agreement as a Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty hereunder in its capacity as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Co-Documentation Agents or Syndication Agent in its capacity as such shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Co-Documentation Agents or Syndication Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

9.11 Certain ERISA Matters .

(a)   Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

Notwithstanding the foregoing

sentence, without the approval in writing of Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver, approval, or consent may be effective to:

as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(c)   Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d)   Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders .

Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent-Related Persons and Lenders from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of relying on any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification.

(e) Electronic Systems .

(i)   Each Loan Party agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications available to the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

(ii)   Any Electronic System used by Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind arising out of Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent such damages arise from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Agent Party as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that in no event shall any Agent Party be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise).

10.03      Attorney Costs and Expenses . Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and Syndication Agent for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents, and to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all

Attorney Costs of one counsel to Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and Syndication Agent and (b) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) or enforcement or attempted enforcement of, or preservation of any rights under, any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of any such documents in the nature of a “workout” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, including Attorney Costs of one counsel to Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender (and, if representation of Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate based on the advice of legal counsel due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for such affected Person(s) (taken as a whole) and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in any relevant local jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Person(s)). The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of all Obligations.

10.04 Binding Effect; Assignment .

(a)   This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that, Borrower may not, except as permitted by Section 7.03, assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such attempted assignment shall be void. Any Lender may at any time pledge a Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement (including to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or, if such Lender is a fund, to any trustee or to any other representative of holders of obligations owed or securities issued by such fund as security for such obligations or securities) but no such pledge shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to any such pledgee the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge, and any transfer to any Person upon the enforcement of such pledge shall be subject to this Section 10.04.

(b)   From time to time following the date of this Agreement, each Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, other than (i) Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) natural persons; provided that such assignment shall be subject to Borrower’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(i) and the consent of Administrative Agent and Issuing Lenders (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required with respect to an assignment to another Lender unless such assignment, would result in the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and its Affiliates exceeding 15% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments, as applicable, then outstanding. No such assignment shall become effective unless and until a copy of a duly signed and completed Assignment and Assumption shall be delivered to Administrative Agent. Except in the case of an assignment (A) to another Lender or (B) of the entire remaining Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Minimum Amount therefor without the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent. The effective date of any assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Assumption, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Assumption. Upon obtaining any consent required as set forth this paragraph, any forms required by Section 10.20 and payment of the requisite fee described below, the assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Interest (as defined in such Assignment and Assumption), and, except for rights and obligations which by their terms survive termination of any Revolving Commitments, the assigning Lender shall be released

from any further obligations under this Agreement to the extent of such Assigned Interest. Upon request, Borrower shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender to evidence Loans made by them. Administrative Agent’s consent to any assignment shall not be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person as to any matter. Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in the Assignment and Assumption in the Register.

(c)   After receipt of a completed Assignment and Assumption, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such assignee and/or such assigning Lender (including in the case of assignments to Affiliates of assigning Lenders), Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

(d)   Each Lender may from time to time, without the consent of any other Person, grant participations to one or more other Persons that are Eligible Assignees (including another Lender but excluding (x) Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (y) natural persons) in all or any portion of its Loans, Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided , however , 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, (iii) the participating bank or other financial institution shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of the increased cost provisions (including yield protection and taxes) of Section 3 (but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation) and for purposes of Section 10.06, (iv) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents; provided , however , that the assigning Lender may, in any agreement with a participant, give such participant the right to consent (as between the assigning Lender and such participant) to any matter which (A) extends the Revolving Termination Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such participant, (B) reduces the rate of interest owing to such participant or any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant, or (C) reduces the amount of any scheduled payment of principal owing to such participant. Any Lender that sells a participation to any Person that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code shall include in its participation agreement with such Person a covenant by such Person that such Person will comply with the provisions of Section 10.20 as if such Person were a Lender and provide that Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be third party beneficiaries of such covenant. Each Lender that sells or grants a participation shall (a) withhold or deduct from each payment to the holder of such participation the amount of any tax required under applicable law to be withheld or deducted from such payment and not withheld or deducted therefrom by Borrower or Administrative Agent, (b) pay the tax so withheld or deducted by it to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with applicable law and (c) indemnify Borrower and Administrative Agent for any losses, cost and expenses that they may incur as a result of any failure to so withhold or deduct and pay such tax.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the

extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitments, Extensions of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 (c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.04, no assignment or participation shall be permitted during the Certain Funds Period without the written consent of Borrower (in its sole discretion) and any such attempted assignment or participation without such written consent of Borrower shall be null and void.

10.05 Set-off . Without prejudice to and subject to Section 4.05, in addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders or any assignee of any Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower which may be in the hands of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations then due and payable, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided , however , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.06 Sharing of Payments . Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender receives in payment of the Obligations held by such other Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws, (a) such Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, (i) if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest and (ii) this Section 10.06 shall not apply to any payments made in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that

any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

10.07 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies .

(a)   No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any Lender or Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(b)   The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Any decision by Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

(c)   Except with respect to Section 9.09, the terms and conditions of Section 9 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and Lenders.

10.08      Usury . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest shall be applied to the principal of the Outstanding Revolving Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal or unequal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

10.09 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.10   Integration . This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Administrative Agent or Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS

REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY SUCH PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES.

10.11   Nature of Lenders’ Obligations . Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender’s obligation to make any Extension of Credit pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several. A default by any Lender will not increase the Revolving Commitments attributable to any other Lender.

10.12   Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or other materials sent through electronic,

telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such Persons except to the extent it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.13 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of all Obligations.

10.14 Nonliability of Lenders . Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)   Any inspections of any property of Borrower made by or through Administrative Agent or Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

(b)   By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Administrative Agent or Lenders;

(c)   The relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent and Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders; neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon;

(d)   Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any Person identified on the cover page of this Agreement as a Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall be deemed to be in an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship with Borrower and its Affiliates or have a fiduciary or other implied duty to Borrower and its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

10.15   No Third Parties Benefitted .

assigns. Except as provided in Section 10.04, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

10.16   Severability .

Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower agree to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

10.17   Confidentiality . Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use any confidential non-public information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates that is furnished to Administrative Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Loan Documents or the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, “Confidential Information”) solely for the purpose of administering and enforcing the Loan Documents, and it will hold the Confidential Information in confidence and will not disclose, directly or indirectly, such information to any Person, except (a) to their affiliates or any of their or their affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel, advisors, or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such information for the purposes set forth in this Section and who have been advised of and acknowledge their obligation to keep such information confidential and limit the use of such information in accordance with this Section, (b) to any Eligible Assignee to which such Lender has assigned or desires to assign an interest or participation in the Loan Documents or the Obligations or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, provided that any such foregoing recipient of such Confidential Information agrees to keep such Confidential Information confidential and limit the use of such Confidential Information as specified herein, (c) to any governmental agency or regulatory body (including self-regulatory bodies) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of their Representatives in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority (in which case such Lender shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so), (d) to the extent necessary or appropriate to enforce any right or remedy or in connection with any claims asserted by or against Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their Representatives, (e) pursuant to any subpoena or any similar legal process (in which case such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Borrower, in advance, to the extent permitted by Law), (f) to other Lenders and (g) with the consent of Borrower.

10.20   Status of Lenders and Administrative Agent . (a) (i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent, executed originals of IRS Form W-9, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (ii)   Each Lender organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall provide Borrower and Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) with (x) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to the Loan Documents is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, or IRS Form W-8EXP, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, (y) if such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and intends to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Borrower, and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) or (z) to the extent such Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the 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 a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (i) promptly submit to Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction and (iii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or
