(3)                                  if since the beginning of such period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business or designated any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (any such disposition or designation, a “ Sale ”), the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to ( A ) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to the Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Sale for such period (including but not limited to through the assumption of such Indebtedness by another Person) plus ( B ) if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold or any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such Sale,

(5)                                  if since the beginning of such period any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (4) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period;

provided that (in the event that the Borrower shall classify Indebtedness Incurred on the date of determination as Incurred in part under subsection 7.1(a) and in part under subsection 7.1(b), as provided

7

in subsection 7.1(c)(iii)) any such pro forma calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense shall not give effect to any such Incurrence of Indebtedness on the date of determination pursuant to subsection 7.1(b) (other than, if the Borrower at its option has elected to disregard Indebtedness being Incurred on the date of determination in part under subsection 7.1(a) for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for Incurring Indebtedness on the date of determination in part under subsection 7.1(b)(xiii), subsection 7.1(b)(xiii)) or to any Discharge of Indebtedness from the proceeds of any such Incurrence pursuant to such subsection 7.1(b) (other than subsection 7.1(b)(xiii), if the Incurrence of Indebtedness under subsection 7.1(b)(xiii) is being given effect to in the calculation of the Consolidated Coverage Ratio).

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including without limitation in respect of anticipated cost savings or synergies relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction) shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or another Responsible Officer of the Borrower; provided that with respect to cost savings or synergies relating to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, the related actions are expected by the Borrower to be taken no later than 18 months after the date of determination.  If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).  If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate.  If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.  Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

“ Consolidated EBITDA ”:  for any period, the Consolidated Net Income for such period, plus ( x ) the following to the extent deducted in calculating such Consolidated Net Income, without duplication:  ( i ) provision for all taxes (whether or not paid, estimated or accrued) based on income, profits or capital (including penalties and interest, if any), ( ii ) Consolidated Interest Expense, all items excluded from the definition of Consolidated Interest Expense pursuant to clause (iii) thereof (other than Special Purpose Financing Expense), any Special Purpose Financing Fees and (for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio) any Special Purpose Financing Expense, ( iii ) depreciation, amortization (including but not limited to amortization of goodwill and intangibles and amortization and write-off of financing costs) and all other non-cash charges or non-cash losses, ( iv ) any expenses or charges related to any Equity Offering, Investment or Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement (whether or not consummated or incurred, and including any offering or sale of Capital Stock to the extent the proceeds thereof were intended to be contributed to the equity capital of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), ( v ) the amount of any minority interest expense, ( vi ) [Reserved], ( vii ) interest and investment income, ( viii ) the amount of loss on any Financing Disposition, and ( ix ) any costs or expenses pursuant to any management or employee stock option or other equity-related plan, program or arrangement, or other benefit plan, program or arrangement, or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement, to the extent funded with cash proceeds contributed to the capital of the Borrower or an issuance of Capital Stock of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock) and excluded from the

8

calculation set forth in subsection 7.5(a)(3), plus ( y ) the amount of net cost savings projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings had been realized on the first day of such period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that ( x ) such cost savings are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable and ( y ) such actions have been taken or are to be taken within 18 months after the date of determination to take such action (which adjustments may be incremental to (but not duplicative of) pro forma adjustments made pursuant to the proviso to the definition of “Consolidated Coverage Ratio”, “Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio” or “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”).

(c)                                   If all or a portion of ( i ) the principal amount of any Loan, ( ii ) any interest payable thereon or ( iii ) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is ( x ) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1 plus 2.00%, ( y ) in the case of overdue interest, the rate that would be otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1 (other than clause ( x ) above) plus 2.00% and ( z ) in the case of other amounts, the rate described in paragraph ( b ) of this subsection 3.1 for ABR Loans plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that ( 1 ) no amount shall be payable pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and ( 2 ) no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) on any overdue amount or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(d)                                  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph ( c ) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e)                                   It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.

3.2                                Conversion and Continuation Options .  (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans made or outstanding from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior irrevocable notice of such election.  Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency

47

Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.  All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that ( i ) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such conversions may be made and ( ii ) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is three Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(b)                                  Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such ( i ) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or ( ii ) after the date that is three Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, and provided further , if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this subsection 3.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

3.3                                Minimum Amounts of Sets .  All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans outstanding comprising each Set shall be equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 2 Sets at any one time outstanding.

3.4                                Optional and Mandatory Prepayments .

(a)                                  Optional Prepayment of the Term Loans .  The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans made to it in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans), or prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) on the date of prepayment (in the case of ABR Loans).  Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each.  Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.  Any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  If any such notice is given and is not revoked, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1.0 million; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loans may be prepaid in their entirety.

(h)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower); provided that such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans have been prepaid.

(i)                                      [ Reserved ].

(j)                                     [ Reserved ].

3.5                                Administrative Agent’s Fee .  The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times provided in the Fee Letter.

3.6                                Computation of Interest and Fees .  (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and any other fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may be) for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)                                  Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by

49

the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 3.1, excluding any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.

3.7                                Inability to Determine Interest Rate .  (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan:

(i)                                      the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “ Affected Rate ”) for such Interest Period (including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), or

(ii)                                   the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for 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 such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give notice by electronic means or telephone thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given ( a ) any Eurocurrency Loans to be made the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen 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 the LIBOR 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 to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); 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 subsection 10.1, 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

50

Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object in good faith 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) of the first sentence of this subsection 3.7(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any request to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be ineffective and (z) any request to continue Eurocurrency Loans shall be ineffective and such Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans.

3.8                                Pro Rata Treatment and Payments .

(a)                                  Each payment (including each prepayment, but excluding payments made pursuant to subsection 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13(d), 3.14, 10.1(g) or 10.6) by the Borrower on account of principal and interest on the Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the respective Lenders.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time), on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans, the Administrative Agent, or the Other Representatives, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2, and shall be made in Dollars.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders or Other Representatives, as the case may be, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day, and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 3.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, ( x ) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand, from the Borrower and ( y ) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any

51

rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available.

3.9                                Illegality .  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“ Affected Loans ”), ( a ) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), ( b ) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested and ( c ) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law and ( d ) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, not otherwise permitted to be converted to ABR Loans by subsection 3.2 shall, at the option of the Borrower ( i ) be prepaid with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such Requirement of Law) or ( ii ) bear interest at an alternate rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to adequately reflect such Lender’s cost of funding such Loans.  If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

3.10                         Requirements of Law .  (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i)                                      shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made or maintained or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof in each case, except for ( x ) Non-Excluded Taxes, ( y ) taxes measured by or imposed upon net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax) and ( z ) Taxes imposed by FATCA, of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii)                                   shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii)                                shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans

52

or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying ( x ) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, ( y ) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and ( z ) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(a), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) ( i ) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or ( ii ) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers.  This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)                                  If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s, obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying ( x ) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, ( y ) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and ( z ) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction.  Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(b), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b) ( i ) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or ( ii ) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers.  This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

53

(c)                                   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Effective Date for all purposes herein.

54

3.11                         Taxes .  (a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law (which term shall include FATCA), all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided , however , that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not be increased ( x ) if the Administrative Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this subsection and ( y ) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement, other than fees paid by or on behalf of a Foreign Subsidiary, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed ( 1 ) as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after the Administrative Agent became the Administrative Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if the Administrative Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of the Administrative Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “ Change in Law ”) or ( 2 ) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Effective Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective, or ( z ) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed ( 1 ) as a result of a Change in Law or ( 2 ) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Effective Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective.  Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.  The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)                                  The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of the Administrative Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to the Administrative Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that the Administrative Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of

55

Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of the Administrative Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to the Administrative Agent or Lender, ( i ) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case certifying to the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note ( ii ) if the Administrative Agent or Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant to clause (i) above, ( x ) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit B (any such certificate, a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and ( y ) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made

complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to

withholding tax with respect to interest payments or ( ii ) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Effective Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, the Administrative Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and

non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of the Administrative Agent or Lender to a continued exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are ( i ) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or ( ii ) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, ( 1 ) there has been a Change in Law that occurs after the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder (or after the date the relevant beneficiary or member in the case of a Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a beneficiary or member, if later) which

56

renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, in which case the Administrative Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or ( 2 ) such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Effective Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective.

(c)                                   The Administrative Agent and Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note to the Administrative Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that the Administrative Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate.  Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to paragraph (b), this paragraph (c) and paragraph (d) of this subsection 3.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b), this paragraph (c) and paragraph (d) of this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

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

3.12                         Indemnity .  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) as a consequence of ( a ) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, ( b ) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or ( c ) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of ( i ) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the

57

date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans , as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over ( ii ) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying ( x ) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, ( y ) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and ( z ) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This subsection 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.13                         Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts .  (a) Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Credit Party to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that ( i ) no such Credit Party shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Credit Party its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and ( ii ) the Borrower shall reimburse such Credit Party for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing no Credit Party shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Credit Party in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b)                                  If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than ( i ) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or ( ii ) after an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c)                                   If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, such Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d)                                  If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid

58

the need for such payments under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, ( i ) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or ( ii ) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender.  In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this subsection 3.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of ( a ) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and ( b ) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to such replaced Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender.

(e)                                   If any Credit Party receives a refund directly attributable to taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 3.10(a) or 3.11(a), such Credit Party shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided , however , that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Credit Party upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

(f)                                    The obligations of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Participant under this subsection 3.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

3.14                         Defaulting Lenders .  Notwithstanding anything contained in 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)                                  [ reserved ];

(b)                                  in determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded;

59

(c)                                   the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort ( i ) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or ( ii ) so long as no Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty;

(d)                                  [Reserved];

(e)                                   [Reserved];

(f)                                    any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 10.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent ( i )  first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, ( ii )  second , pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and ( iii )  third , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is made at a time when the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 4.                             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES .  To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Term Loans requested to be made by it on the Effective Date, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants, on the Effective Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

91

(c)           All amounts due under this subsection 9.6 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after demand therefor.  The agreements in this subsection 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

92

removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower ( provided that such approval by the Borrower in connection with the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall only be required so long as no Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing; provided further , that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the 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.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal 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 the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Additionally, after any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.11        Withholding Tax .  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses.  The agreements in this subsection 9.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, and assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Credit Facility Obligations.

9.12        Other Representatives .  None of the entities identified as bookrunners and lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.

9.13        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claims .  In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) is hereby authorized by the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

9.14        Application of Proceeds .  The Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows:  after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents (the “ Collection Amounts ”) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows:  first , to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, second , to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, third , to pay interest on Loans then outstanding; fourth , to pay principal of Loans then outstanding, and fifth , to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.  To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “third” or “fourth” above are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the applicable Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in the applicable clause at such time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets and such Excluded Obligations shall be disregarded in any application of Collection Amounts pursuant to the preceding paragraph

9.15        Approved Electronic Communications .  Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree, that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “ Approved Electronic Platform ”).  The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided (subject to subsection 10.16) “as is” and “as available.”

For the purposes of this subsection 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:  any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any assignment by a  Lender to a Disqualified Lender, such assignment shall not be void but the provisions of subsection 10.6(k) shall apply, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing (in which case such Lender will not be considered a Disqualified Lender solely for that particular assignment).

(iii)                                Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under subsection 10.16.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection.

(iv)                               The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower (and, solely with respect to entries applicable to such Lender, any Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any assignment by a Lender to a Disqualified Lender, such assignment shall not be void but the provisions of subsection 10.6(k) will apply and the Borrower shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to them (whether at law or in equity, including specific

101

performance to unwind such assignment) against the Lender and such Disqualified Lender.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender.

(v)                                  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (unless such assignment is being made in accordance with subsection 3.13(d), subsection 3.14(c) or subsection 10.1(g), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by the assigning Lender), the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this subsection 10.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this subsection 10.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi)                               On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned.  Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Term Loan Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “ Settlement Service ”).  At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 10.6(b).  Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans, and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service.  If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Borrower shall have no obligation to make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service.  Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.  The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein.

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or  the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

102

(c)                                   (i)                                      Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to a Disqualified Lender or a natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that ( A ) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, ( B ) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, ( C ) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and ( D ) the Borrower, the 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.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that, to the extent of such participation, such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that ( 1 ) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) of the second proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and ( 2 ) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Lender sells participations under this Agreement to a Disqualified Lender, such sale shall not be void but the provisions of subsection 10.6(k) shall apply, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such participation in writing (in which case such Lender will not be considered a Disqualified Lender solely for that particular participation).  Any attempted participation which does not comply with subsection 10.6 shall be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine the compliance of any Lender with the requirements of this subsection 10.6(c) (it being understood that each Lender shall be responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the requirements of this subsection 10.6(c)).

(ii)                                   Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amount) 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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit, Tax proceeding or any other governmental inquiry to establish that such commitment, loan, letter 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii)                                No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5, other than in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, any greater

103

payment of additional amounts under subsection 3.11, than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under subsection 3.11.

(iv)                               Subject to paragraph (c)(ii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided that such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing.

(d)                                  Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)                                   No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(f)                                    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b).  The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided , however , that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.  Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(i)                                      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6, nothing in this subsection 10.6 is intended to or should be construed to limit the Borrower’s right to prepay the Loans as provided hereunder, including under subsection 3.4.

(j)                                     Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible (or have any liability) for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall not (1) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (2) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information by any Lender, to any Disqualified Lender.

(k)                                  (i) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this subsection 10.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(b)                                  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) to set off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection 8.1(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such
