A change in the Applicable Margins resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the second Business Day after which the Borrower delivers each of the Compliance Certificate required by Section 5.04(c) ; provided that if at any time the Borrower shall have failed to deliver such Compliance Certificate when so required, the Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the table above corresponding to a Leverage Ratio of greater than 2.00:1.00 until such time as the Compliance Certificate is delivered, at which time the Applicable Margins shall be determined as provided above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that (1) the Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnifications obligations not yet due and owing) and (2) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in different pricing for any period, then (A) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin for such period, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined higher Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest

3

theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period as a result of the miscalculation of the Leverage Ratio shall be due and payable within five Business Days after the Borrower obtains knowledge (including by way of notification thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) that the Leverage Ratio was inaccurately computed; and (B) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a lower Applicable Margin for such period, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall credit the Borrower for the next interest or fee payment in an amount equal to the amount of interest or fees actually paid minus the amount of interest or fees that should have been paid; provided that if, as a result of any restatement or other event a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to clause  (A) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees paid for all such periods; provided , further , that if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) or (h)  then exists, such interest shall be deemed to have been due and payable under clause (A)  at the time the interest for such period was required to have been paid on the same basis as if the Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Compliance Certificate (together with all amounts owing as default interest). Upon the payment in full of any accrued additional interest pursuant to this paragraph, any Default or Event of Default that may have arisen solely as a result of the Compliance Certificate miscalculating the Leverage Ratio for purposes of calculating the Applicable Margins (but not for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio under Section  6.11 or any other Section of this Agreement or as a result of any other inaccuracy or misrepresentation set forth in such Compliance Certificate) shall be deemed cured.

“ Asset Sale ” shall mean the sale, transfer or other disposition (by way of merger, casualty, condemnation or otherwise) by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary of (a) any Equity Interests of any of the Subsidiaries (other than (i) directors’ qualifying shares and (ii) in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, nominal amounts of shares required by applicable law to be held by local nationals) or (b) any other assets of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale:

Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

45

SECTION 2.02. Loans . (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) , Mandatory Borrowings and except as otherwise provided in Section  2.24 , the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and (y) in the case of ABR Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f) , 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section  2.03 . Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided , however , that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any time (or such greater number of Eurodollar Borrowings as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) , each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c)  above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and

46

(ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b) , 4.01(c) and 4.01(d) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan (except for purposes of Section  6.11 ) and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f) , and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph (f)  to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section  2.06(a) , and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure . In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.22(e) , in each case, as to which this Section  2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone

47

or email (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly in writing to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however , that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section  2.02 . If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section  2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans . (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Credit Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans owing by the Borrower that were outstanding on the date of such Borrowing was requested.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made (or deemed made) to the Borrower hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b)  and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided , however , that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such entries, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

48

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section  9.04 ) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees . (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “ Commitment Fee ”) equal to 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes of calculating Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans unless and until a Mandatory Borrowing is effected in connection therewith in accordance with Section  2.22(e) .

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such set forth in the Commitment Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “ Agent Fees ”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender except to the extent provided in Section 2.26(a)(iii)(A) ), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “ L/C Participation Fee ”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b) and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, a fronting fee which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the L/C

49

Exposure of such Issuing Bank (in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) applicable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the date such Letter of Credit is issued to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (collectively, the “ Issuing Bank Fees ”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders entitled thereto, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances, absent manifest error in the calculation of such Fees.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans . (a) Subject to the provisions of Section  2.07 , the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year) at all times, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section  2.07 , the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest . If any Event of Default under Section 7.01(b) , or 7.01(c) has occurred and is continuing, the amount of any overdue principal of or interest on any Loan or any overdue fees due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Default Rate.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest . In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not

50

exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to give notice when the Administrative Agent determines that such circumstances no longer exist), any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section  2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section  2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments . (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time, without premium or penalty, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swingline Commitment; provided, however , that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Swingline Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $500,000 and (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section  2.09(b) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or Equity Interests or the consummation of a Change in Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings . The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

51

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section  2.16 ;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and

(vii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section  2.10 shall be in writing and irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section  2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section  2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section  2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

52

SECTION 2.11. [Intentionally Omitted] .

SECTION 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment . (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m., New York City time; provided , however , that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and (y) in the case of ABR Loans, an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) , such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall, unless rescinded as provided below, be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section  2.12(a) by notice to the Administrative Agent on the date of prepayment if such prepayment would have resulted from an acquisition, an Asset Sale or other disposition of assets or a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Class, which acquisition, Asset Sale, disposition or refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. All prepayments under this Section  2.12 shall be subject to any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section  2.16 , but otherwise may be made without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section  2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments . (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and if, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swingline Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure continues to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize or provide a backstop letter of credit with respect to such excess in accordance with Section 2.13(b) .

53

(b) Upon receipt of notice and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the L/C Exposure shall exceed the L/C Commitment on any date, the Borrower shall (i) Cash Collateralize such excess with an amount in cash equal to 102% of such excess as of such date or (ii) provide a backstop letter of credit in a face amount equal to 102% of such excess as of such date from an issuer and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Class and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section  2.13 shall be subject to Section  2.16 , but shall otherwise be made without premium or penalty, and (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances . (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time as specified in paragraph (c)  below, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time as specified in paragraph (c)  below, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

54

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts (and the basis thereof) necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a)  or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or such Issuing Bank under paragraph (a)  or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section  2.14 shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality . (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (and each Lender shall promptly withdraw such declaration when such Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist); and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b)  below.

55

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under paragraph (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section  2.15 , a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Breakage . The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section  2.10 ) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (whether or not such notice is permitted to be revoked, withdrawn or extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or (iv) any Eurodollar Loan to be prepaid by the Borrower not being prepaid after notice of prepayment of such Eurodollar Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (whether or not such notice is permitted to be revoked, withdrawn or extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section  2.16 (and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations thereof and the basis therefor) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment . Except as provided below in this Section  2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section  2.15 , each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); it being acknowledged that this Section  2.17 shall not apply to any payment received by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or participation in any Loan to any assignee or participant in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the

56

Lenders at any time (other than to the extent provided in Section 2.05(a) ), each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs . Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however , that (i) if any such purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section  2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section  2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment received by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section  2.18 shall not apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments . (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement, or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim; provided that on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or such earlier date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section  2.09 , the payment of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts owing hereunder shall be made not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the

57

discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(d) ) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 520 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022 (or such other office as the Administrative Agent may specify in writing from time to time to the Borrower and the Lenders). The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes . (a) Except where required by a Governmental Authority, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section  2.20) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower or applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section  2.20 ) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

58

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d) .

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

(f) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (collectively, “ Recipients ” and individually, a “ Recipient ”) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, if required, to any applicable Governmental Authority, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Recipient that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration or invalidity of the certificate or any of the IRS forms described below, upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as prescribed by applicable law), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), as applicable, establishing eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or an exemption provided by the Code,

59

(ii) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor forms), establishing that such Recipient is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax,

(iii) in the case of such Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor forms), as applicable, and (y) a certificate certifying that such Recipient is not (A) a “bank” as such term is used in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower or of a guarantor or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or

(iv) in the case of such Recipient not being the beneficial owner, two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate as described in clause (iii)(y) immediately above, and/or IRS Form W-9, as applicable from each beneficial owner.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this paragraph, a Recipient shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20(f) (other than the IRS tax forms and related accompanying documentation described in clauses (i)  through (iv) above) that such Recipient is not legally able to deliver.

(g) Each Recipient that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration or invalidity of any of the certificates or IRS forms described below, upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or as prescribed by applicable law), two duly completed, executed, original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, is not subject to backup withholding.

(h) 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 that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s

60

obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (h) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) If the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section  2.20 , it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section  2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i)  the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.20(i) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate . (a) In the event (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section  2.14 , (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section  2.15 , (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section  2.20 , (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) ), upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section  9.04 ), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv)  above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior

61

written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (unless such Person is the Lender being removed pursuant to this Section), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (y) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the affected Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 ); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section  2.14 , notice under Section  2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section  2.20 , as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section  2.15 , or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section  2.20 , as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b)  below), or if such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section  2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section  2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section  2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and such Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a) .

(b) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section  2.14 , (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section  2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section  2.20 , then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) if agreed to by the Borrower, to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section  2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section  2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section  2.20 , as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans . (a) Swingline Commitment . Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower at any time and

62

from time to time after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding the greater of (x) $4,500,000 or (y) 10.0% of the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan (i) shall be made and maintained as an ABR Loan and (ii) shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $100,000. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section  2.22 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to any Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.08(b) .

(b) Swingline Loans . The Borrower shall notify, by delivery of a Borrowing Request, the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by email or telephone (promptly confirmed in writing), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such Borrowing Request shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of the Swingline Loan should be disbursed. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified in such request.

(c) Prepayment . The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving irrevocable written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified on Schedule 9.01 .

(d) Participations . The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under paragraph (g)  or (h) of Section  7.01 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section  7.01 . Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of

63

Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section  2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) Mandatory Borrowings . The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans; provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under paragraph (g)  or (h) of Section  7.01 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section  7.01 , in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “ Mandatory Borrowing ”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Pro Rata Percentage and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts

64

so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any Mandatory Borrowing made pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a Mandatory Borrowing shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have funded their obligations pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The refinancing of a Swingline Loan with a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment of such Mandatory Borrowing. Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in above, with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in this Section 2.22(e) .

(f) Defaulting Lenders . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event the Swingline Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that a Lender has not funded its participation pursuant to Section 2.22(d) or its pro rata share of a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to Section  2.22(e) , the Borrower shall, upon demand by the Swingline Lender, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s unfunded participation or Pro Rata Percentage of the Loans required to be made pursuant to such Mandatory Borrowing, as the case may be, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent solely to reduce the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans; provided that no such payment by the Borrower shall change the status of a Defaulting Lender as such, or otherwise limit, reduce or qualify the obligations of any Lender with respect to its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including without limitation to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of participations required by Section 2.22(d) or Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, in each case, after giving effect to any payments made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this sentence.

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit . (a) General . The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment remains in effect as set forth in Section 2.09(a) ; provided that all Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars. This Section  2.23 shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section  2.23 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by (i) reallocating all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.23(j) and/or (ii) Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.23(k) .

65

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions . In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver in writing the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Expiration Date . Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided , however , that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank)) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) Participations . By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f) . Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph (d)  in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement . If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day.

66

(f) Obligations Absolute . The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other Person Guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

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

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

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section  2.23 , constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligations of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) of the applicable Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s (or its Related Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

67

It is further understood and agreed that the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank (unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(g) Disbursement Procedures . The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall, as promptly as possible, give telephonic notification (confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest . If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f) , at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans.

(i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank . Any Issuing Bank (other than any Issuing Bank which is also the Administrative Agent, unless such Issuing Bank is resigning as Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII ) may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of such retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) . The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing

68

Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of any Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section  4.01 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section  9.20 , no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocation described in this Section 2.23(j) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(k) .

(k) Cash Collateralization .

(i) Defaulting Lenders . At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.23(j) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) Event of Default . If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall (subject to the last sentence of clause (v)  of this Section 2.23(k) ), on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an amount in cash equal to 102% of the L/C Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and such Cash Collateral will become immediately payable in immediately available funds, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) .

(iii) Grant of Security Interest . The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders,

69

and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for (x) the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.23(e) and/or the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit and/or (y) the Borrower’s other Obligations, in each case to be applied pursuant to clause (iv)  below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will (subject to the last sentence of clause (v)  of this Section 2.23(k) ), promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency).

(iv) Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section  2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied (x) to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit for which the Cash Collateral was so provided and (y) as set forth in clause  (ii) above in connection with an Event of Default, in each case, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. Other than any interest earned on the investment of Cash Collateral in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateral deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account and shall be treated for all purposes as additional Cash Collateral. Such deposits shall (x) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and (y) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(v) Termination of Requirement . If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of a Defaulting Lender, Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(k) following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that the Borrower and the Issuing Banks may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided further that such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

70

SECTION 2.24. Incremental Revolving Loans . (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (a “ Revolving Commitment Increase ”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Revolving Commitment Increase being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or (x) such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Facility Amount or (y) such lesser increments and minimum amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and (ii) the date on which such Revolving Commitment Increase requested is to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 days after the date of such notice, unless agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that no more than 4 Revolving Commitment Increases may be requested by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) The Borrower may seek Revolving Commitment Increases from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in this Section  2.24 , such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Revolving Loans) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders which are Eligible Assignees (each such existing Lender or additional lender providing such Revolving Commitment Increase, an “ Incremental Revolving Credit Lender ”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender’s providing such Revolving Commitment Increases to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments to such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender. The terms and provisions of the Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans.

(c) The effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, and the Revolving Commitment Increase thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date of such Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “ Incremental Facility Closing Date ”) of each of the following conditions: (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)  and (c) of Section  4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section  4.02 and (iii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Revolving Commitment Increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid in full.

(d) On each Incremental Facility Closing Date, (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall make its Commitment (any such new commitments, collectively, the “ Incremental Revolving Commitments ”) available to the Borrower (when borrowed, an “ Incremental Revolving Loan ”) in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Increase and

71

(ii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Revolving Commitment Increase and the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto.

(e) Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Assumption Agreement, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Assumption Agreement may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section  2.24 .

(f) Upon any Incremental Facility Closing Date, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Incremental Revolving Loans outstanding on such Incremental Facility Closing Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Commitment Increases to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Commitment Increases and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) This Section  2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section  2.17 , 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.25. [Intentionally Omitted] .

SECTION 2.26. Defaulting Lenders .

72

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section  9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank hereunder; third , to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.23(k) ; fourth , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section  2.23(k) ; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section  4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(j) . Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section  2.26 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees . (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Revolving

73

Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.

(C) With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(j) , (y) pay to each applicable Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT; ETC.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Jefferies Finance LLC, as its Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints Jefferies Finance LLC as its Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article  VIII , the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “ Agents ”), and Jefferies Finance LLC hereby accepts each such appointment. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents, (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each

116

Lender and (iii) in the event of a foreclosure by any of the Agents on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or a sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “Agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section  9.08 ); provided that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section  9.08 ) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default

117

unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that each Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to such Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

Each 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 or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also 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, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall either Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

118

Subject to the elapsing of the 30-day period for the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, or, at any time either Agent is a Lender whose Commitments are being assigned at the election of the Borrower pursuant to Section  2.21 , the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or removed Agent may, with, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or other financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank or other financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint, with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Any such resignation or removal by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Agent (and in the case of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), (ii) the retiring or removed Agent (and in the case of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring Issuing Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section  9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

Each Lender that sells a participation or is a Granting Lender (as defined in paragraph (i)  below) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”) provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any

126

Person (including the identity of any participating bank or any information relating to a participating bank’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

128

Parties) or that are addressed in paragraph (a)  of this Section  9.05 , (x) in respect of any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (y) in respect of (A) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or one of its Affiliates or (B) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against any Agent or the Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such) and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) attributable to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by Section  2.20 .

For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(vi) change Section 9.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder with the prior written consent of each Lender; or

NON-U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:

I. Corporations:

If your institution is incorporated outside of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is the beneficial owner of the interest and other income it receives, you must complete one of the following three tax forms, as applicable to your institution: a.) Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), b.) Form W-8ECI (Income Effectively Connected to a U.S. Trade or Business), or c.) Form W-8EXP (Certificate of Foreign Government or Governmental Agency).

A U.S. taxpayer identification number is required for any institution submitting Form W-8ECI. It is also required on Form W-8BEN for certain institutions claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the U.S. Please refer to the instructions when completing the form applicable to your institution. In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Two duly completed, executed, original copies of the applicable tax form must be submitted.

II. Flow-Through Entities :

If your institution is organized outside the U.S., and is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as either a Partnership, Trust, Qualified or Non-Qualified Intermediary, or other non- U.S. flow-through entity, an original Form W-8IMY ( Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding ) must be completed by the intermediary together with a withholding statement. Flow-through entities other than Qualified Intermediaries are required to include tax forms for each of the underlying beneficial owners.

Please refer to the instructions when completing this form. In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms. Two duly completed, executed, original copies of the applicable tax form must be submitted.

U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:

If your institution is incorporated or organized within the United States, you must complete and return Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). Please be advised that we request that you submit two duly completed, executed, original copies of Form W-9.

Pursuant to the language contained in the tax section of the Credit Agreement, the applicable tax form for your institution must be completed and returned prior to the time that you become a party to the Credit Agreement. Failure to provide the proper tax form when requested may subject your institution to U.S. tax withholding.
