“Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment” shall mean Four Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars ($450,000,000), as such amount may be decreased by the amount of any permanent reductions in the Commitments made in accordance with Section 2.05 and increased by the amount of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments established in accordance with Section 2.16, representing the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders.  

“Agreement” means this Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“All-In Yield” means, as to any Indebtedness, the annual yield thereof, whether in the form of interest rate margins, original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees and any LIBOR Rate floors (with such increased amount being equated to interest margins for purposes of determining any increase to the Applicable Rate); provided that, (i) OID and upfront fees shall be equated to interest rates assuming a four year life to maturity and (ii) “All-In Yield” shall not include arrangement fees, structuring fees, underwriting fees or similar fees that are not paid to all Lenders providing the relevant Indebtedness.

2

occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.01(c)), and (ii) automatically after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.01(c), the Applicable Rate shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level V”:

Except as set forth in the foregoing proviso, no change in the Applicable Rate shall be effective until the first day of the month following the date on which the Agent shall have received a Leverage Ratio Calculation; provided, that if Borrowers fail to deliver the Leverage Ratio Calculation within the time periods specified in Section 7.11(d), then the Applicable Rate from and including the first day of the month following the date on which the Leverage Ratio Calculation was required to be delivered to but not including the date the Borrower Agent delivers to the Agent such Leverage Ratio Calculation shall be set at the margin in the row styled “Level V” (but not retroactively), without constituting a waiver of any Event of Default occasioned by the failure to timely deliver such calculation.  In the event that the information regarding a Leverage Ratio Calculation is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Rate actually applied for such Applicable Period, then the Applicable Rate in respect of such Applicable Period will be adjusted upwards automatically and retroactively, and the Borrowers shall pay to Agent for further distribution to each Lender such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as are necessary so that after receipt of such amounts, such Lender receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had the Applicable Rate been calculated during the Applicable Period on the basis of the correct Leverage Ratio Calculation.  Additional Amounts shall be payable 5 days following delivery by the Agent to the Borrower Agent of a notice (which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) setting forth in reasonable detail the Agent’s calculation of the amount of any Additional Amounts owed to the Lenders.

“Bank Product Provider” means any Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that no such Person (other than the Agent or its Affiliates) shall constitute a Bank Product Provider with respect to a Bank Product unless and until the applicable Lender (or Affiliate, as the case may be) and the Borrower Agent shall have each provided written notice to the Agent of (i) the existence of such Bank Product; (ii) the maximum dollar amount of the obligations arising under such Bank Product (which amount may be changed from time to time, except as provided below, by such Lender (or Affiliate, as the case may be) and the Borrower Agent by delivering written notice to the Agent); and (iii) the methodology to be used by such

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by

5

the Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice,  on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than zero percent (0%), the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero percent (0%) for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower Agent for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Agent decides, in its reasonable discretion, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the

6

administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(k); or

(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

Section 1.06Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Rate Advances is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”).  LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator  of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments.  Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.03(j) and (k) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Agent, pursuant to Section 2.03(m), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Advances is based.  However, the Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.03(j) or (k), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.03(l)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Section 1.07Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.08Exchange Rates. The Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Alternative Currencies on each Revaluation Date. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of the applicable Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as

42

otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Alternative Currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Agent.

(e)Effect of Notice.  Each Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agent and the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Agent or any Lender as a result of (i) default by the Borrowers in making a Borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower Agent has given notice requesting the same, (ii) default by the Borrowers in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance or (iii) the making of a payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Agent or any Lender to fund such Advance.

(f)Disbursements.  Promptly after its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.03(a), the Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.3(g) apply to the requested Borrowings or (ii) to make a Loan under Section 2.03(h) to the Borrowers in the amount of the requested Borrowing.

(g)Lenders to Advance.  (i) If the Agent shall elect to have the terms of this Section 2.3(g) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.03(f)(i) then, promptly after its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.03(a), the Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder) of the requested Borrowing.  Each Lender

45

shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in same day funds, for the account of the Borrowers, at the Agent’s Payment Account prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower Agent.  The proceeds of such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrowers by the Agent wire transferring to the Operating Account the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Lenders, and in like funds as received by the Agent by 4:00 p.m. (New York time), on the requested Borrowing Date or as otherwise requested by the Borrower Agent in its Notice of Borrowing, and approved by the Agent for such purpose.

(ii)Unless the Agent receives contrary written notice prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any proposed Borrowing, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing and, in reliance upon that assumption, but without any obligation to do so, may advance such Pro Rata Share on behalf of such Lender.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Agent, but the Agent has made such amount available to the Borrowers, such Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay and repay the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Agent, at (A) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan and (B) in the case of each Lender, for the period from the date such Borrowing to (and including) three days after demand therefor by the Agent to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate and, following such third day, at the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan, in each case, together with all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith.  If a Lender shall pay to the Agent any or all of such amount, such amount so paid shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan by such Lender to the Borrowers for purposes of this Agreement.

(h)Swingline Loan.  If the Agent shall elect, in its discretion, to have the terms of this Section 2.03(h) apply to a requested Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (as described in Section 2.03(f)(ii)), the Swingline Lender shall make a Loan in the amount of such requested Borrowing (any such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender under this Section 2.03(h) being referred to as an “Swingline Loan”) available to the Borrowers in same day funds by wire transferring such amount to the Operating Account by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Borrowing Date.  Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable hereunder to the other Revolving Credit Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Loan).  The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if (i) the requested Borrowing would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and undrawn amount of unexpired Letters of Credit to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date or (ii) the requested Borrowing would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Swingline Loans to exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000).  The Swingline Loans shall be repayable on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate in effect from time to time applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans comprised of Base Rate Advances, including any increase in such rate that is applicable under Section 4.02.  The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender may, at the request of such Lender, be evidenced by a single promissory note payable to the order of such Lender, in the form of Exhibit A-2 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Swingline Note”), as executed by the Borrowers and delivered to the Swingline Lender, in a stated amount equal to the maximum amount of the Swingline Loans specified in this subsection.

(i)Settlements.  Each Lender’s funded portion of any Loan is intended to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.  Notwithstanding such

46

agreement, the Agent and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrowers) that, to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(A)The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, with respect to (A) each outstanding Swingline Loan and (B) all payments made by the Borrowers on account of the Revolving Credit Loans, in each case by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder), prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such requested Settlement (any such date being a “Settlement Date”).

(B)Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Agent in same day funds, for itself or for the account of the Agent, to the Agent’s Payment Account prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, regardless of whether the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.02 have then been satisfied.  Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan, and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan representing Agent’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders.  If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) Business Days from and after such Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Advances.

(C)Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Lender (other than the Bank) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, by paying to the Agent, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, regardless of whether the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.02 have then been satisfied.  If such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days from and after such demand and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Advances, including any increase in such rate that is applicable under Section 4.02.

(D)From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Swingline Loan under clause (C) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan.

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the

47

definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(k)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (k) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(l)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(m)The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (n) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.03, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.03.

(n)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable

48

or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(o)Upon the Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Agent may revoke any request for a LIBOR Rate Advance to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower Agent will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.  

Section 2.04Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used by the Borrowers to refinance existing Indebtedness, for their general working capital purposes, for expenses incurred by the Borrowers in connection herewith and for other, general purposes consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.05Revolving Credit Commitment; Commitment Reductions; Mandatory Prepayments; Optional Prepayments.

(a)Maximum Amount.  In no event shall the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b)Mandatory Prepayments.  In addition to any prepayment required in accordance with Section 10.02 as a result of an Event of Default hereunder, the Revolving Credit Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment as follows:

(i)immediately upon discovery by or notice to the Borrower Agent that any of the lending limits set forth in Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.05(a) have been exceeded, the Borrowers shall pay the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit, or any combination thereof, to the applicable maximum allowed amount, and such amount shall become due and payable by the Borrowers without the necessity of a demand by the Agent or any Lender; and

(ii)the entire outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other Lender Group Expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder, shall become due and payable on the Termination Date;

(c)Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the Borrower Agent to the Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances, and three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the Borrower Agent to the Agent in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances, specifying the date and amount of prepayment, provided that (i) LIBOR Rate Advances may not be optionally prepaid other than on the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto unless the Borrowers pay any breakage

49

or other fees required hereunder and (ii) a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the incurrence of other Indebtedness or any other event, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.  If such notice is given, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein accompanied by the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  

(d)Swaps.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers acknowledge that, to the extent that any Borrower enters into a Swap Obligation in connection with any Loan, any prepayment (in whole or in part) or termination of such Loan prior to the stated termination date of such Swap Obligation will trigger the early termination of such Swap Obligation documentation.  Each Swap Obligation is subject to separate documentation independent of such Loan and any termination of a Swap Obligation prior to its stated termination date will result in a payment being made, either by such Borrower to the Secured Party thereto by such Secured Party to such Borrower, depending on the fair market value of such Swap Obligation on the early termination date.  Such payment is independent of any amounts due in respect of such Loan.

(e)Commitment Reductions.  The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and undrawn amount of unexpired Letters of Credit at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by the Borrower Agent to the Agent, specifying the date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction.  Such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower Agent’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.  The Borrower Agent’s notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other event, in which case such notice of reduction or termination may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.06Evidence of Debt.

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

(b)The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.07[Reserved].

50

Section 2.08Term.  The term of this Agreement shall be for a period from the Closing Date through the and including the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at any time that any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Credit Loans is outstanding, except upon Payment in Full of all Obligations.

Section 2.09Payment Procedures.

(a)[Reserved].

(b)Time of Payment.  Each payment by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees or Lender Group Expenses hereunder shall be made to the Agent.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares (except as expressly otherwise provided), at the Agent’s Payment Account in immediately available funds.  Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made (i) for the account of the Agent or Swingline Lender only or (ii) under the settlement provisions of section 2.03(i), the Agent shall distribute all payments to the Lenders on the Business Day following receipt in like funds as received.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.03 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender with the other Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c)Next Business Day.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Interest Period) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder.

(d)Application.  Subject to Section 10.5, the Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or the Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent.

Section 2.10Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender (at the request of the Borrower Agent) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.11Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 and, in each

51

case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 12.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of all Revolving Credit Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each applicable amendment, waiver or consent.  A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower or any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.12Defaulting Lenders.

(a)The Agent may recover all amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender on demand, and all such amounts owing shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in Section 4.02 applicable to Base Rate Advances until Paid in Full.

(b)The failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing.  Conversely, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of another Lender to fund such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing.

(c)The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrowers to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including, without limitation, any fees).  Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the Agent.  The Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, apply any or all of such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or re-lend to the Borrowers the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.  For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and such Lender’s Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans made by it, as applicable, for such purposes shall be deemed to be zero (0).  This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until the Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender.  The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender or to relieve or excuse the performance by any of the Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder.

52

(d)The Agent, at its election, at any time, may require that the reimbursement obligations of a Defaulting Lender in respect of Letters of Credit be reallocated to, and assumed by, the other Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares through (calculated as if the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share was zero (0)), provided that no Lender shall be reallocated, or required to fund, any such amounts that could would cause the sum of such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit to exceed its Commitment.

(e)If Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash Collateralization), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and the funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to subsection (c) above) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 2.11, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.13Letters of Credit.

(a)Upon the request of the Borrower Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue for the account of any of the Borrowers Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency of a tenor and containing terms acceptable to the Borrower Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, in a maximum Dollar Equivalent aggregate face amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit with an expiration date after the Termination Date, (ii) if a Letter of Credit is issued with an expiration date after the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall Collateralize such Letter of Credit in full immediately, (iii) no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if it would result in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent face amount outstanding of Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer exceeding (x) its Letter of Credit Commitment, or (y) when aggregated with such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, its Commitment and (iv) no Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit in any currency other than Dollars without its consent.  The term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed three hundred sixty (360) days from the date of issuance, subject to renewal in accordance with the terms thereof, but in no event to a date beyond the Termination Date.  All Letters of Credit shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05, and a sum equal to the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be included in calculating outstanding amounts for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.05.  Without limitation of the foregoing, but for the avoidance of any doubt, the maximum Dollar Equivalent amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time, when aggregated with (without duplication) all Revolving Credit Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.  

(b)Immediately upon issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, of the liability and obligations under and with respect to such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto, other than amounts

53

owing to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 4.04) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.

(c)Whenever the Borrower Agent desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) a written notice, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer) in advance of the proposed date of issuance of a letter of credit, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Letter of Credit Request”).  The transmittal by the Borrower Agent of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower Agent that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with and will not violate any of the requirements of this Section 2.13.  Prior to the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall provide to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a precise description of the documents and the text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, would require the Letter of Credit Issuer to make payment under such Letter of Credit.  The applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, in its Permitted Discretion, may require changes in any such documents and certificates.  No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder prior to the second Business Day after the date on which such draft is presented.

(d)Upon any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, (i) the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent for a Revolving Credit Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing and (ii) without regard to satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 and the other terms and conditions of borrowings contained herein, the Lenders shall, on the date of such drawing, make Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars comprised of Base Rate Advances in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Agent to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing or payment. If for any reason, proceeds of Advances are not received by the Agent on such date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent, on the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing over the Dollar amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 4.01(a) or 4.02, as applicable.

(e)As among the Borrowers, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer) or misuse of the Letters of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders nor the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible (i) for the accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under such Letters of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (iv) for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (v) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof, (vi) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Agent or the Lenders, provided, that the

54

foregoing shall not release the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer for any liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.  None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s rights or powers hereunder.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, shall not create any liability of the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer to any Borrower or any Lender.

(f)The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit and the obligations of the Lenders under this Section 2.13 shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any Letter of Credit Agreement; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (v) failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing; or (vi) that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(g)Unless otherwise requested by the Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall report in writing to the Agent (i) not later than the fifth Business Day following the last day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Issuer makes any disbursement, the date of such disbursement and the amount of such disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse a disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Letter of Credit Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

Section 2.14Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) such participations in the Obligations payable to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase

55

price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. For purposes of clause (ii) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) or Loan(s) (as applicable) to which such participation relates.

Section 2.15[Reserved].

Section 2.16Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a)The Borrowers may increase, upon the request of the Borrower Agent, the then effective amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the increases in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16, shall not exceed Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000); (ii) the Borrowers shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Agent in connection with such increases and at the time of any such proposed increase; (iii) subject to customary “Sungard” provisions, if and to the extent agreed to by the Increasing Lenders, (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such increase, and (B) all representations and warranties by or on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such increase or, to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; and (iv) the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments provided under this Section 2.16 (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall have an expiration date no earlier than the Termination Date.  

(b)The Agent shall invite each Lender to increase the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment, on a pro rata basis, in connection with the proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments at the interest margin proposed by the Borrowers, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with such proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, then the Agent or the Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent to become a Lender (each such new lender being an “Additional Lender”) in accordance with this Section 2.16.  No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to increase the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment.  Only the consent of the Lender agreeing to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Increasing Lenders”) shall be required for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16. No Lender which declines to increase the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitments may be replaced in respect to its existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent.

(c)Subject to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.16, any increase requested by the Borrowers shall be effective upon delivery to the Agent of each of the following documents (the date of such effectiveness, the “Increase Date”): (i) an originally executed copy of any instrument of joinder signed by a duly authorized officer of each Additional Lender, in form and substance reasonably acceptable

56

to the Agent; (ii) a notice to the Increasing Lenders and Additional Lenders, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent; (iii) a certificate of the Borrower Agent signed by a Responsible Officer, in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, certifying that each of the conditions in subsection (a) of this Section 2.16 has been satisfied: and (iv) any other certificates or documents that the Agent shall request, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

(d)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if the All-In Yield that is to be applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments is higher than the All-In Yield applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder immediately prior to the Increase Date (the amount by which the All-In Yield is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans immediately prior to the Increase Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess minus 0.50 percentage points (to the extent that the result is positive), subject to the occurrence of and effective upon the Increase Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto.

(e)Each of the Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment prior to the Increase Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Credit Commitment on the Increase Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in Swingline Loans and undrawn Letters of Credit on such Increase Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such increased Revolving Credit Commitments.

(f)Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16.  

Article III.
SECURITY

Section 3.01General.  To secure the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Obligations (whether now existing or hereafter arising), each of the Borrowers hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing Lien on and security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral, in each case wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all additions and accessions thereto and substitutions and replacements therefor and improvements thereon, and all proceeds (as such term is defined in the UCC) (whether in the form of cash or other property and whether tangible or intangible) and products thereof (including, without limitation, all proceeds of insurance covering the same and all commercial tort claims in connection therewith).  As further security for the Obligations, and to provide other assurances to the Agent and the Secured Parties, the Agent shall receive, among other things, in each case to the extent required by this Agreement:

(a)[reserved];

(b)the Guarantor Security Agreement; and

57

(c)the Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.

Section 3.02Further Security; Benefit of Security Interest.  Each of the Borrowers also grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as further security for all of the Obligations, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to all property of such Borrower in the possession of or deposited with or in the custody of the Agent or any of the Secured Parties (or their Affiliates) or any representative, agent or correspondent of any of such Persons and in all present and future deposit accounts or securities accounts maintained with any of such Persons.  For purposes of this Agreement, any property in which the Agent or any other such Person has any security or title retention interest shall be deemed to be in the custody of the Agent or such Person.  The security interest granted in Section 3.01  shall be deemed to be in favor of the Agent for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties to which the Borrowers owe any Obligations.

Section 3.03Recourse to Security.  Recourse to security shall not be required for any Obligation hereunder, and the Borrowers hereby waive any requirement that the Agent or any Secured Party exhaust any right or take any action against any of the Collateral before proceeding to enforce the Obligations against the Borrowers.

Section 3.04Collateral Generally.

(a)Further Actions.  The Borrowers shall take all actions that the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, may request from time to time so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and to enable the Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) discharging all Liens other than Permitted Liens, (ii) [reserved], (iii) delivering to the Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as the Agent may specify, any and all promissory notes in favor of Loan Parties from third parties forming a part of the Collateral, in each case in an amount greater than $500,000, (iv) executing (as appropriate) and delivering authorizations for the recording of financing statements, instruments of pledge, mortgages for fee simple Real Property with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Agent) of more than $5,500,000 on a per property basis, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of the Agent’s security interest under the UCC or other applicable law; and (v) if a Borrower has as of the Closing Date or thereafter acquires a commercial tort claim in an amount greater than $500,000 against a third party, such Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent thereof, in writing, and grant a specific collateral assignment of such claim to the Agent, at the Agent’s request as additional Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) unless required by Section 3.05 with respect to the Pledged Interests,  obtaining “control” of any investment property, deposit or securities account, letter-of-credit right or electronic chattel paper (the term “control” as used in respect of the foregoing types of Collateral having the meaning set forth in Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC) shall not be required and (ii) no action shall be required in order to create or perfect any security interest under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction.  

(b)Registered Intellectual Property Updates.   In the event that any Loan Party (i) files after the Closing Date during any fiscal year an application for the registration of Intellectual Property which constitutes Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, (ii) becomes after the Closing Date during any fiscal year the owner of any Intellectual Property which constitutes Collateral that is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, or (iii) acquires after the Closing Date during any fiscal year any registration or application for registration of any Intellectual Property which

58

constitutes Collateral registered or applied for with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, such Loan Party will execute and deliver to the Agent the appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreements (or supplements thereto) with respect to such application for registration or registration filed during such fiscal year on or before the last day by which the Compliance Certificate with respect to such fiscal year is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.11(d).

(c)Filings.  The Agent is hereby authorized to file financing statements in accordance with the applicable provisions of the UCC, including, without limitation financing statements that describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property”, “all assets” or words of similar effect, at any time or from time to time hereafter, in any jurisdiction; and Borrowers hereby ratify, approve and affirm the filing of any such financing statements heretofore filed by the Lender in respect of any Borrower (including any predecessor-in-interest thereof).  All charges, expenses and fees that the Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and Other Taxes relating thereto, shall be paid to the Agent promptly after written demand.

Section 3.05Pledged Interests.

(a)(i) Except for the security interest created hereby, each Loan Party is and will at all times be the sole holder of record and the legal and beneficial owner, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, of the Pledged Interests indicated on Schedule 3.05 as being owned by such Loan Party (as such Schedule may be amended by written notice from the Borrower Agent to the Agent) and, when acquired by such Loan Party, any Pledged Interests acquired after the Closing Date, (ii) all of the Pledged Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the Pledged Interests constitute or will constitute the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Pledged Companies of such Loan Party identified on Schedule 3.05 (as such Schedule may be amended by written notice from the Borrower Agent to the Agent), (iii) such Loan Party has the right and requisite authority to pledge, the investment property pledged by such Loan Party to the Agent as provided herein, (iv) all actions necessary or desirable to perfect and establish the first priority of, or otherwise protect, the Agent’s Liens in the investment property, and the proceeds thereof, have been duly taken, upon (A) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (B) the taking of possession by the Agent (or its agent or designee) of any certificates representing the Pledged Interests, to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates, together with undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to the Agent) endorsed in blank by the applicable Loan Party, and (C) the filing of financing statements in the jurisdiction of organization of such Loan Party set forth on Schedule 6.01(g) for such Loan Party with respect to the Pledged Interests of such Loan Party that are not represented by certificates, and (v) subject to Section 7.20, each Loan Party has delivered to and deposited with the Agent all certificates representing the Pledged Interests owned by such grantor to the extent such Pledged Interests are represented by certificates, and undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to the Agent) endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates. None of the Pledged Interests owned or held by such Loan Party has been issued or transferred in violation of any securities registration, securities disclosure, or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject.

(b)As to all limited liability company or partnership interests constituting Pledged Interests, each Loan Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants that such Pledged Interests (i) are not, and shall not be, dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) do not, and shall not, constitute investment company securities, and (iii) are not, and will not be, held by such Loan Party in a securities account.  In addition, none of the limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements or other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests provides that such Pledged Interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction.

59

(c)If any Loan Party shall acquire, obtain or receive any Pledged Interests after the Closing Date that are included in Collateral and are represented by certificates (other than any Pledged Interests required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.20), it shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) deliver to the Agent certificates representing such Pledged Interests accompanied by undated powers (or other documents of transfer acceptable to the Agent) endorsed in blank with respect to such certificates and a duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests.

(d)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the request of the Agent, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Interests that are received by any Loan Party shall be held by the Loan Parties in trust for the benefit of the Agent segregated from such Loan Party’s other property, and such Loan Party shall deliver it forthwith to the Agent in the exact form received.  No Loan Party shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests (or any limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement with respect thereto), or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party agrees that it will cooperate with the Agent’s reasonable requests in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, or local law to effect the perfection of the Agent’s Lien on the Pledged Interests or to effect any sale or transfer thereof.  

(e)None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the Closing Date are registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration.  Each Loan Party understands that in connection with such disposition, the Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market.  Each Loan Party, therefore, agrees that:  (i) if the Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof, and (ii) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

(f)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Agent may, at its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior notice to the Borrower Agent (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(c), in which case no such notice need be given), and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Loan Party, but under no circumstances is the Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests during the existence of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby appoints the Agent, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be.  The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.  For so long as any Loan Party shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Loan Party covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such

60

Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of the Agent, the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no Excluded Property shall constitute Pledged Interests and (B) no action under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required to be taken to create or perfect any Pledged Interests.

Section 3.06[Reserved].

Section 3.07Borrowers Remain Liable.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each of the Loan Parties shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Loan Party from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Agent or any of the Lenders be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Loan Parties thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.  Until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to and upon the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including all voting, consensual, dividend, and distribution rights, shall remain in the applicable Loan Party until (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and (ii) the Agent has notified the applicable Loan Party of the Agent’s election to exercise such rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 3.05.

Section 3.08Continuation of Liens, Etc.  The Borrowers shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any interest therein, other than claims relating to Liens permitted by the Loan Documents.  The Borrowers agree to comply with the requirements of all state and federal laws to grant to the Agent valid and perfected first priority security interests in the Collateral.  The Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to file any financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments covering the Collateral whether or not any Borrower’s signature appears thereon.  The Borrowers agree, from time to time, at the Agent’s reasonable request, to file notices of Liens, financing statements, similar documents or instruments, and amendments, renewals and continuations thereof, and cooperate with the Agent’s representatives, in connection with the continued perfection (and the priority status thereof) and protection of the Collateral and the Agent’s Liens thereon.  The Borrowers agree that the Agent may file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement (or any financing statement related hereto) as a financing statement.

Section 3.09Power of Attorney.  In addition to all of the powers granted to the Agent in this Article III, the Borrowers hereby appoint and constitute the Agent as the Borrowers’ attorney-in-fact to make any filings under the Uniform Commercial Code covering any of the Collateral, to request at any time from customers indebted on its receivables verification of information concerning such receivables and the amount owing thereon (provided that any verification prior to an Event of Default shall not contain the Agent’s name and shall be in connection with the conducting of any field examination with respect to the Collateral), and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to convey any item of Collateral to any purchaser thereof, (ii) to make any payment or take any act necessary or desirable to protect or preserve any Collateral, and (iii) to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.  The

61

Agent’s authority hereunder shall include, without limitation, the authority to execute and give receipt for any certificate of ownership or any document, to transfer title to any item of Collateral and to take any other actions arising from or incident to the powers granted to the Agent under this Agreement, in each case if an Event of Default exists and is continuing.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Article IV.

Section 4.10Increased Costs.  

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 or Letter of Credit Issuer of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would

63

have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10 and delivered to the Borrowers will be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers will pay such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.11Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 4.11, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Swingline Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.11) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

64

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.07 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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 Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 4.11(e).

(f)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Loan Party shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

65

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to any Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and that no payment in connection with any Loan Document is effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s);

(C)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, if any; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount

66

to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11(g), no Lender shall be required to furnish any documentation it is not legally eligible to deliver.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.11(g).

(h)  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such Loan Party, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.11(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11(h), in no event will the Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 4.11(h) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient 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 4.11(h) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(i)  Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 10.02Acceleration, Termination and Cash Collateralization.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of the Agent or any Lender, to enforce its claims against the Borrowers:

(a)Acceleration.  To declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default with respect to a Loan Party specified in Section 10.01(c), in which case all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of the Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower.

(b)Termination of Commitments.  To declare the Commitments immediately terminated (except with respect to any Event of Default with respect to a Loan Party set forth in Section 10.01(c), in which case the Commitments shall automatically terminate) and, at all times thereafter, any Loan made by the Lenders and any Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be in their and its respective discretion.  Notwithstanding any such termination, until all Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, the Agent and each Lender shall retain all rights under guaranties and all security in existing and future receivables, inventory, general intangibles, investment property and equipment of the Loan Parties and all other Collateral held by any of them hereunder and under the Security Documents.

(c)Cash Collateralization.  With respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of the acceleration of the Obligations under Section 10.02(a) or otherwise at any time after the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account established by or on behalf of the Agent sufficient funds to Collateralize the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.  Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent and applied by the Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon shall be applied to repay the other Obligations.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all Obligations have been Paid in Full, the balance, if any, in such

94

cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 10.03Other Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations and the Collateral under applicable law (including, without limitation, under the UCC) and the Loan Documents, and the Agent may do any or all of the following:  (i) remove for copying all documents, instruments, files and records (including the copying of any computer records) relating to the Borrowers’ receivables or use (at the expense of the Borrowers) such supplies or space of the Borrowers at the Borrowers’ places of business necessary to administer, enforce and collect such receivables including, without limitation, any supporting obligations; (ii) accelerate or extend the time of payment, compromise, issue credits, or bring suit on the Borrowers’ receivables (in the name of the Borrowers or the Agent) and otherwise administer and collect such receivables; (iii) sell, assign and deliver the Borrowers’ receivables with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, subject to applicable law; and (iv) foreclose the security interests created pursuant to the Loan Documents by any available procedure, or take possession of any or all of the Collateral, without judicial process and enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same.

(b)The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (iii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by the Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy, in each case, free from any right of redemption, which right is expressly waived by the Borrowers.  If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Borrowers will assemble the Collateral in their possession and make it available at such locations in the United States as the Agent may specify, whether at the premises of a Borrower or elsewhere, and will make reasonably available to the Agent the premises and facilities of each Borrower for the purpose of the Agent’s taking possession of or removing the Collateral or putting the Collateral in saleable form.  The Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Borrower hereby grants the Agent a license to enter and occupy (in each case, so long as no Event of Default then exists, at reasonable times and subject to reasonable procedures), any of the Borrowers’ leased or owned premises and facilities, without charge, to exercise any of the Agent’s rights or remedies.  The proceeds received from any sale of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.05.

Section 10.04License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property.  Each Borrower hereby grants to the Agent a perpetual non-revocable royalty-free, nonexclusive license or other right to use, without charge, all computer software programs, data bases, processes, trademarks,

95

tradenames, copyrights, labels, trade secrets, service marks, other Intellectual Property, advertising materials and other rights, assets and materials used by the Borrowers in connection with its businesses or in connection with the Collateral, in each case with respect to any exercise of remedies hereunder.

Section 10.05Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

(a)Allocation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or at the Agent’s discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i)first, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to the Agent (including attorneys’ fees) in its capacity as the Agent;

(ii)second, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders;

(iii)third, to all amounts owing to Swingline Lender on Swingline Loans;

(iv)fourth, to all amounts owing to Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to that portion of the Obligations which constitutes unreimbursed draws under Letters of Credit;

(v)fifth, to all Obligations constituting fees (other than amounts which constitute Bank Product Obligations);

(vi)sixth, to all Obligations constituting interest (other than amounts which constitute Bank Product Obligations);

(vii)seventh, to the Collateralization of that portion of the Obligations constituting undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit;

(viii)eighth, to all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations);

(ix)ninth, to all Bank Product Obligations; and

(x)finally, to the Loan Parties or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above before being applied to the following category.  Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category.  In determining the amount to be applied to Bank Product Obligations within any given category, each Bank Product Provider’s pro rata share thereof shall be based on the lesser of (x) the amount presented in the most recent notice from such Bank Product Provider to the Agent (as contemplated in the definition of “Bank Product Obligations”) and (y) the actual amount of such Bank Product Obligations, calculated in accordance with a methodology presented to and approved by the Agent by such Bank Product Provider to the Agent.  The Agent has no duty to investigate the actual amount of any Bank Product Obligations and, instead, is entitled to rely in all respects on the applicable Bank Product Provider’s reasonably detailed written accounting thereof.  If such Bank Product Provider does not submit such accounting of its own accord and in a timely manner, the Agent, may instead rely on any prior accounting thereof.

96

Section 10.06No Marshalling; Deficiencies; Remedies Cumulative.  The Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights to liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent to such of the Obligations and in such order as the Agent shall elect in its discretion, whether due or to become due.  The Borrowers shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and the Agent and the Lenders in turn agree to remit to the applicable Loan Party or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom.  All of the Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as the Agent or the Lenders may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive.

Section 10.07Waivers.  Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrowers hereby waive any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by the Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking of possession by the Agent of any Collateral.  The Borrowers also waive any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral, in each case, pursuant to the terms herein.  The Borrowers also consent that the Agent and the Lenders may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court (in each case in connection with the remedies hereunder).  These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and the Borrowers acknowledge that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

Section 10.08Further Rights of the Agent and the Lenders.  If the Borrowers shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance (where applicable), or to pay any tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy, except as the same may be otherwise permitted hereunder or which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, or if any Lien prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full and discharged or if a Borrower shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or obligation to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case of the foregoing, to the extent an Event of Default arises and continues, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the account of the Borrowers, and all amounts so paid by the Agent shall be treated as a Revolving Credit Loan comprised of Base Rate Advances hereunder and shall constitute part of the Obligations.

Section 10.09Interest and Letter of Credit Fees After Event of Default.  The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that the additional interest and fees that may be charged under Section 4.02 are (a) an inducement to the Lenders to make Advances and to the Letter of Credit Issuer to cause Letters of Credit to be issued hereunder and that the Lenders and the Agent would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the inclusion of such provisions, (b) fair and reasonable estimates of the Lenders’ and the Agent’s costs of administering the credit facility upon an Event of Default, and (c) intended to estimate the Lenders’ and the Agent’s increased risks upon an Event of Default.

97

Section 10.10Receiver.  In addition to any other remedy available to it, the Agent shall also have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of the Borrowers.

Section 10.11Rights and Remedies not Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise provided by law from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuation, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Article XI.
THE AGENT

Section 11.01Appointment of Agent.  (a) Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints JPMCB and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b)As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c)In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers (except in

98

limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)the Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Agent for its own account.

(d)The Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Agent 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 the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e)None of any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f)In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

99

(g)The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

Section 11.02[Reserved].  

Section 11.03Agent’s Reliance; Limitation of Liability, Etc.

(b)The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 7.08 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 7.08” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Agent by the Borrower Agent, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Agent by the Borrower Agent, a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer.  Further, the Agent shall not 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

100

Section 11.04Posting of Communications.

(a) The Borrowers agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and each of the Borrowers hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM

101

AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d)Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)Each of the Lenders, each of the Letter of Credit Issuers and each of the Borrowers agree that the Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

The terms “Letter of Credit Issuers”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable.

Section 11.08[Reserved].

Section 11.09Successor Agent.

(a)The Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Agent, whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower Agent (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents.  

(b)Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring  Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrower Agent, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral

103

agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest),  and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Agent for the account of any Person other than the Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer. Following the effectiveness of the Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.04, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 the retiring Agent was acting as Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

Section 11.10Collateral Matters.

(a)Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.03 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under which constitute Bank Product Obligations and no Hedging Agreements the obligations under which constitute secured Bank Product Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Bank Product Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed the Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)The Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) required to be delivered in connection with permitted sales or dispositions of Collateral (other than to another Loan Party) hereunder, if any, upon receipt of the proceeds by the Agent (or, if permitted hereunder, the applicable Borrower) or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders.  The Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of the Agent’s authority to release particular types of items of Collateral.  

(d)Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral (other than to another Loan Party) which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Agent) prior written request by the Borrower Agent, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred, provided that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to

104

liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral in the exercise of remedies, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.  The Agent shall not 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 Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 11.11Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 12.05 of this Agreement), (iv) the Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that

105

the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Section 11.12Acknowledgement of Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuers.

(a)Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans  and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an assignment agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(c)(i) Each Lender  hereby agrees that (x) if the Agent notifies such Lender that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Payments received,

106

including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Agent to any Lender under this Section 11.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii)Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii)The Borrower Agent and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(iv)Each party’s obligations under this ‎Section 11.12(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

110

varying, percentage of all rights and obligations in respect of the Commitments and the Loans.  Upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee to the Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance (the “Acceptance Date”), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it under such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it under such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have under Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 12.04, which shall survive such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c)Agreements of Assignee.  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.01(i), the Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.11, if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder.

(e)Securitization.  The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies.  The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above.

(f)Lender Participations.  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding a Lender’s sale of a participation interest, such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged.  The Borrowers, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender.  No Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the Commitment of the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation interest; (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest; or (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 12.04 as if it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 4.11 and the last sentence of Section 2.09(b) as if it were a Lender (provided that any documentation required pursuant to Section 4.11(g) shall be required solely to the applicable participating Lender).  Each Lender that sells a participation 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such greater entitlement results from a Change in Law after the participation occurs.

(g)Securities Laws.  Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.

112

(h)Information.  In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(i)Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(j)Disqualified Institutions.  The Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution.

Section 12.09Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.10Maximum Rate

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to the Borrowers and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”).  If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance the Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
