5

good faith determination that a condition precedent to funding (specifically
identified and including the particular default, if any) has not been satisfied,
(b) has notified any Borrower or any Credit Party in writing, or has made a
public statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with
any of its funding obligations under this Agreement (unless such writing or

cannot be satisfied) or generally under other agreements in which it commits to
extend credit, (c) has failed, within three Business Days after request by a

total Exposures exceeding the total Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may
borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02

Revolving Loans and Borrowings.

(a)

Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving
Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to
be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.

(b)

Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Administrative Borrower may
request in accordance herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any
Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not
affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

(c)

At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.  At the time that each ABR Borrowing is
made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR
Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused
balance of the total Commitments.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be
outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more
than a total of ten (10) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not
be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the
Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination
Date.

Section 2.03

Requests for Borrowings of Revolving Loans.  To request a Borrowing of Revolving
Loans, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time (a) three Business
Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing of Revolving Loans in the case of
a Eurodollar Borrowing or (b) one Business Day before the date of the proposed
Borrowing of Revolving Loans in the case

19

of an ABR Borrowing.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Administrative
Borrower’s treasurer or chief financial officer, in the form of Exhibit B
attached hereto or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative
Agent, which Borrowing Request shall be signed by the Administrative Borrower.
 Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans;

(ii)

the date of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether such Borrowing of Revolving Loans is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv)

in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
the term “Interest Period”; and

(v)

the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds are to
be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing of Revolving Loans is specified, then
the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing,
then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing
Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s
Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans.

Section 2.04

Funding of Borrowings of Revolving Loans.

(a)

Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00
noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most
recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Loans available to the relevant
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of such Borrower designated by the Administrative Borrower in the
Borrowing Request.

(b)

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing of Revolving
Loans available

20

to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender,
the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate then
applicable to such Borrowing of Revolving Loans.  If such Lender pays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing of Revolving Loans.

Section 2.05

Interest Elections.

(a)

Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in
the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.
 Thereafter, the Administrative Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing of
Revolving Loans to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing of Revolving
Loans and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.05.  The Administrative Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing
of Revolving Loans, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall
be considered a separate Borrowing of Revolving Loans.

(b)

To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Administrative Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the
Administrative Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of Revolving Loans of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable
and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of
Exhibit C attached hereto or such other form as may be approved by the
Administrative Agent, which Interest Election Request shall be signed by the
Administrative Borrower.

(c)

Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

the Borrowing of Revolving Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies
and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing of
Revolving Loans (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing of
Revolving Loans);

(ii)

the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing of Revolving Loans is to be an ABR Borrowing or
a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

21

(iv)

if the resulting Borrowing of Revolving Loans is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)

Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s
portion of each resulting Borrowing of Revolving Loans.

(e)

If the Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing of Revolving Loans is
repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing of
Revolving Loans shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (a) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at
the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Administrative Borrower,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, each Eurodollar Borrowing
shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, and (b) no Revolving Loan may be converted into or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing after the date that is one month prior to the
Termination Date.

Section 2.06

Swingline Commitment.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
a portion of the credit otherwise available to any Borrower under the
Commitments from time to time during the Availability Period by making swing
line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to such Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the
Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other
outstanding Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii)
the Administrative Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall
not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such
Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding would exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments.  During the Availability Period, the
Borrowers may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and
reborrowing Swingline Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof.  Swingline Loans shall be Alternate Base Rate Loans only.

(b)

The Borrowers shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Termination Date and the
date that is 10 days after the date on which such Swingline Loan is made;
provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrowers
shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

22

Section 2.07

Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a)

Whenever a Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans the
Administrative Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic
notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received
by the Swingline Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
proposed borrowing date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the
requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day during the Availability
Period).  Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount
equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Not later
than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the borrowing date specified in a notice
in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the
Administrative Agent at the account of the Administrative Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose an amount in immediately available funds equal
to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender.  The
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to
the relevant Borrower on such borrowing date by depositing such proceeds in the
account of such Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such borrowing date in
immediately available funds.

(b)

The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct the
Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), upon notice (which shall be deemed to be
a Borrowing Request given by the Administrative Borrower and shall be given on a
Business Day) given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a
Revolving Loan (which shall be made initially as an ABR Loan), in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated to reflect any
adjustment to the Swingline Exposures of the Lenders by Section 2.20(c), as
applicable) of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded
Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline
Lender.  Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall make the amount of
such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose in
immediately available funds, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the date of such notice.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be
immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender
for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded
Swingline Loans.

(c)

If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to
Section 2.07(b), one of the events described in Article VII(h) or (i) shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to the Company or if for any other
reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving
Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.07(b), each Lender shall, on
the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice
referred to in Section 2.07(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating
interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline
Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with
such Revolving Loans.

23

(d)

Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender
such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any
payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute
to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of
principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of
such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event
that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned,
such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e)

Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.07(b) and to
purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.07(c) shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such
Lender or the Borrowers may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of a Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by a
Borrower, the Guarantor or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.08

Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)

Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination
Date.

(b)

The Administrative Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Administrative Borrower shall not terminate or
reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Exposures would exceed
the total Commitments.

(c)

The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered
by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered
by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon
the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
 Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each
reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments.

24

Section 2.09

Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)

The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on
which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII).

(b)

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.

(c)

The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent hereunder
for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)

The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of
this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)

Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.
 In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender
a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10

Prepayment of Loans.

(a)

The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay
any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10.

(b)

The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of
prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of
the Commitments as

25

contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c).
 Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

Section 2.11

Fees.

(a)

The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a facility fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the
Termination Date, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount
of the Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made,
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the date hereof.  All facility fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)

The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account,
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(c)

All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of
facility fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

Section 2.12

Interest.

(a)

The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)

The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or
any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount
shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other
amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided above.

(d)

Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period),

26

accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion
of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable upon termination of
the Commitments.

(e)

All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days,
except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times
when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate
or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be presumptively correct.

Section 2.13

Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)

the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be presumptively
correct) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b)

the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted
LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Administrative
Borrower and the Lenders, which notice shall state the circumstances giving rise
to such notice, by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
(i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing,
such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.14

Increased 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 held by, deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions
of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate); or

(ii)

subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Tax (other than
(A) Indemnified Taxes that are subject to Section 2.16, (B) Other Taxes or
(C) Excluded

27

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 the London interbank market any other condition (other
than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan (or in the case of (ii), any Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)

If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as
a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made hereunder, to a level below
that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)

A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, together with a
full explanation of the increased costs, the Change in Law giving rise thereto
and the calculation of such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section 2.14 and further stating that such Lender is requiring
corresponding payments from other similarly situated borrowers generally, shall
be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be presumptively correct.
 The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount so due on any such certificate
within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof and a full description and
calculation of such amount or amounts.

(d)

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand
such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

Section 2.15

Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of
any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,

28

continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable
under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Administrative
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event; provided that any such event is not attributable to the failure of any
Lender to fund a Loan.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender
attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined
by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such
Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or
assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of
the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or
continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the
Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Eurodollar Loan) for such Interest Period,
over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal
amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for
such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an
affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar
market at the commencement of such period.  A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts, together with a full explanation of the losses,
costs, and expenses incurred, the events giving rise thereto and the calculation
of such amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section 2.15, shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall
be presumptively correct.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount so due
on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16

Taxes.

(a)

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the applicable
withholding agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent
shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding
agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)

In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)

The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10
Business Days after written demand therefor for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section
2.16) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with

29

respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
 A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Administrative Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be presumptively correct.  To the extent
the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund or credit on account of
any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax reimbursed by the Borrowers or as a result of
contesting any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax pursuant to this Section 2.16, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay over
the amount of such refund or credit (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including any Taxes) to the Administrative Borrower; provided, that
the Borrowers agree to repay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender the
amount of any such refund or credit paid over to the Administrative Borrower in
the event that such Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay
such refund or credit to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d)

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

(e)

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days
after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only
to the extent that the Borrowers or the Guarantor have not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrowers or the Guarantor to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such
Lender ‘s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or
paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Transactions, and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
presumptively correct.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender in
connection with the Transactions or otherwise payable by the Administrative
Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made hereunder shall deliver to the Administrative
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and

30

submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in
the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would
subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower
and the Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)

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

i

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest
hereunder, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto,
including IRS Form W-8BEN-E, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments in connection with
the Transactions, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto,
including IRS Form W-8BEN-E, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such Tax treaty;

ii

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

iii

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto, including IRS Form W-8BEN-E;
or

31

iv

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 or any
successor thereto, including IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-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 E-4 on behalf of each such
direct and indirect partner;

(C)

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

(D)

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

(ii)

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

32

Section 2.17

Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)

The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or
otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the address set forth in Section
10.01, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
 If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for
the period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)

If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and
fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and
(ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such
parties.

(c)

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the proportion received
by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (y) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, to the extent
necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them;
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not
be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply).  The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent
they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of a Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

33

(d)

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

(e)

If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant
to Section 2.04(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.18

Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such
Lender 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 2.14 or 2.16, 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 agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to any proposed
amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the
Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has
been obtained), then the Administrative Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Administrative Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and

34

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 2.14
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment
does not conflict with applicable law and (v) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a failure to consent to any amendment supplement, modification,
consent or waiver, the assignee shall have consented to such amendment,
supplement, modification, consent or waiver.  A 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
Administrative Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.

Section 2.19

New Lenders; Commitment Increases.

(a)

With the consent of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(which, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be unreasonably
withheld), (i) one or more additional banks or other financial institutions or
other institutional investors may become a party to this Agreement by executing
a supplement hereto, in form and substance satisfactory to such bank, financial
institution or institutional investor, the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, whereupon such bank, financial institution or
institutional investor (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes
hereof and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound
by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 2.01 hereto
shall be deemed to be amended to add the name, address and Commitment of such
New Lender and (ii) any Lender may increase the amount of its Commitment by
executing a supplement hereto, in form and substance satisfactory to such
Lender, the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such
Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with
respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 2.01
hereto shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such increase in the Commitment
of such Lender.  In no event may the aggregate Commitments be increased above
$400,000,000 pursuant to any supplement described in this Section 2.19(a).

(b)

If on the date upon which a bank or other financial institution or institutional
investor becomes a New Lender or upon which a Lender’s Commitment is changed
pursuant to Section 2.19(a), any Loans are then outstanding, the Administrative
Agent will consult with the Administrative Borrower with the objective of
minimizing the costs to the Administrative Borrower, and may (A) require that
the Borrowers prepay and reborrow any outstanding Loans in connection therewith
if it determines such action to be desirable to facilitate administration under
this Agreement in such amount and with such Interest Period such that, after
giving effect thereto, the quotient of (x) the Loan of such Lender of each Type
and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, with each Interest Period and (y) such
Lender’s Commitment is equal to the corresponding comparable quotient of each
other Lender and (B) with the consent of such Lender permit the Administrative
Borrower to select an initial Interest Period with respect to the initial Loans
made by such Lender having a duration other than one, two, three, or six months
(such that such Interest Period would be coterminous with an Interest Period
then applicable to an existing Eurodollar Borrowing) if the Administrative Agent
determines such action to be desirable to facilitate administration of the Loans
under this Agreement.  Any Eurodollar Borrowing borrowed pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall bear interest at a rate equal to the respective
interest rates then applicable to the Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.

35

Section 2.20

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

(a)

the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive fees payable under
Section 2.11(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
unless and only to the extent allocable to the sum of the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans funded by it;

(b)

the Commitment and Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for
purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may
take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver
pursuant to Section 10.02), provided that this clause (b) shall not apply in the
case of any waiver, amendment or modification described in the first proviso of
Section 10.02(b) requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected
thereby;

(c)

if any Swingline Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then:

(i)

all or any part of such Swingline Exposure shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent that the amount of any non-Defaulting
Lender’s Exposure plus such non-Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of such
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure does not exceed the Commitment of such
non-Defaulting Lender; and

(ii)

if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent, prepay such Swingline Exposure;

(d)

so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan unless it is satisfied that the related
exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers, and participating
interests in any newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such
Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur
following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii)
the Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in
fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such
Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to
fund any Swingline Loan, unless the Swingline Lender shall have entered into
arrangements with the Administrative Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to
the Swingline Lender to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender
hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower and the
Swingline Lender each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Swingline Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Lender’s Commitment and on the date

36

of such written agreement Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the
other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage .

Section 2.21

[Reserved].

Section 2.22

Administrative Borrower.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company
as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (in such
capacities, the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in
full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has
been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative
Borrower.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Borrower to (i) provide and receive all notices and instructions
under this Agreement, (ii) take such action on its behalf as the Administrative
Borrower deems appropriate to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement
and (iii) receive and distribute accordingly the proceeds from the Loans.  Each
Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and the
Administrative Agent and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless
against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made
against the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by any Borrower or by any third
party arising from or incurred by reason of any Lender’s or the Administrative
Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower; provided
that such indemnity shall not be available to the extent that any such
liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury is determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or
any such Lender, as the case may be.

Section 2.23

Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is
determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to
take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR
Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts
the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate
on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate
Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each
case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon
receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR
Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the
Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day,
or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such

37

Eurodollar Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the
Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate
component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such
Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of the Company and the Guarantor (as to itself) represents and warrants to
the Lenders that:

Section 3.01

Organization; Powers.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in

standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

Section 3.02

Authorization; Enforceability.  The Transactions are within the powers of the
Borrowers and the Guarantor and have been duly authorized by all necessary
actions by the directors or trustees thereof.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor, as the case
may be, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers
and the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 3.03

Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.  The Transactions (a) do not require any
consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made or will have
been obtained or made by the Closing Date and are in full force and effect,
(b) will not violate in any material respect any applicable law or regulation,
(c) will not violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental
Authority, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any material
indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any

Section 3.04

Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect.

(a)

The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance
sheet and statements of income, beneficial interests and cash flows (i) as of

statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP,
subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case

Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this

state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that,
with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only
that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed
to be reasonable at the time.

Section 3.12

Subsidiary.

Section 3.14

Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for
“buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each

the Company could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

violation, in any material respects, of any applicable law relating to
anti-corruption or anti-money laundering (including the United States Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act

41

of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010 or other similar legislation in other
jurisdictions) (collectively, “Anti-Corruption Laws”).  (i) Neither the Company

assets, or all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of any of its
Subsidiaries (in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or

course of business, (e) loans and advances to officers, directors, consultants
and employees in the ordinary course of business, and (f) any transaction

ARTICLE VIII
THE GUARANTEE

Section 8.01

Guarantee.

(a)

The Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt
and complete payment and performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.

(b)

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the
Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed
by the Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of subrogation and
contribution established in Section 8.02).

(c)

The Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time
to time exceed the amount of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without
impairing the guarantee contained in this Article VIII or affecting the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d)

The guarantee contained in this Article VIII shall remain in full force and
effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Article VIII shall have been satisfied by
payment in full and the Commitments shall have been terminated, notwithstanding
that from time to time during the term of this Agreement a Borrower may be free
from any Borrower Obligations.

(e)

No payment made by the Borrowers, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
from the Borrowers, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by
virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or
application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of
the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise
affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any
such payment (other than any payment made by the Guarantor in respect of the
Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Guarantor in
respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations
up to the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower
Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.  The provisions
of Section 2.14 and 2.16 shall apply to the Guarantor under this Article VIII
(with appropriate changes therein to refer to the Guarantor as necessary).

Section 8.02

No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment made by the Guarantor hereunder or
any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of the

55

Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek
or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in
respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the
Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.  If
any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights
at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in
full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative
Agent in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the
Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Administrative Agent may determine.

Section 8.03

Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Borrower Obligations.  The Guarantor shall
remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that any of the following may occur,
without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, (i) any demand for payment
of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of
the Borrower Obligations continued, (ii) the Borrower Obligations, or the
liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, (iii) this Agreement and any other documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to
time, or (iv) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time
held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article VIII or any
property subject thereto.

Section 8.04

Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.  The Guarantor waives any and all notice
of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Article VIII or acceptance of
the guarantee contained in this Article VIII; the Borrower Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Article VIII; and all dealings between the Borrowers
and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article
VIII.  The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment
and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers with respect to the
Borrower Obligations, and any defense based on any illegality or lack of
validity or enforceability of any Borrower Obligation, this Agreement or any
related agreement or

56

instrument.  The Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained
in this Article VIII shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) any defense, set-off or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by the Borrowers or any other Person against
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (b) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers or the Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrowers for the Borrower Obligations, or of the Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Article VIII, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or
otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrowers
or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the
Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Borrowers or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Borrowers or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any obligation or liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether
express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against the Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Section 8.05

Reinstatement.  The guarantee contained in this Article VIII shall continue to
be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Borrower or the Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any
Borrower or the Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 8.06

Payments.  The Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid
to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in dollars at the
office of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Except as provided below, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a
third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed
that the use of the

57

term “agent” herein (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied or express
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such
term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required
to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein (provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to hereto or to applicable law, including for
the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay
under any law related to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or that may
effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting
Lender in violation of any law related to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary (or that the Administrative
Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary) under the circumstances
provided for in Section 10.02 or Article VII or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made by any other
Person in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered by any other Person hereunder or
in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness (other than its own due execution) or
genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or sent by the

58

proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through Related Parties of the Administrative Agent.  The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent, and shall apply to their activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Company.  Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a
successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may (but is not obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in
New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Whether or not a
successor Administrative Agent has been appointed or accepted such appointment,
such resignation shall become effective in accordance with the notice given for
such resignation.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrowers to
a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.
 After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information 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 related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.02

Waivers; Amendments.

(a)

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.02, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless
of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the

60

Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or
reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the
scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) release the Guarantor from its Guarantee
contained herein, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of
the provisions of this Section 10.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender or (vii) release the Company from its joint and several obligations
in respect of the Borrower Obligations of all Borrowers, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.03

Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)

The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in amounts previously
agreed to in writing and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section 10.03, or in connection with the Loans
made, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect thereof.

(b)

The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the
use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release
of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided

61

that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.

(c)

To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by
it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and
hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section 10.03 shall be liable for any damages, other than
for damages that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee, arising from the use by unintended recipients of
any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)

All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 30 days
after written demand therefor accompanied by documentation reasonably describing
the basis for such amounts.

Section 10.04

Successors and Assigns.

(a)

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such
consent shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person or a
holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the
primary benefit of, a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of
an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the
Administrative

62

Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to
such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being
agreed the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
assignment to which it has not objected in writing within five Business Days
after receipt of notice thereof), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the
Commitment assigned, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (the obligation to pay such fee to be
shared equally by the assignor and assignee), and (v) the assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire; provided further that any consent of the Administrative Borrower
otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of
Default under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is
continuing.  Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of
this Section 10.04.

(c)

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal
amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(d)

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section
10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of
this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No

63

assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (d).

(e)

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a
holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the
primary benefit of, a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements
under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04; provided that such Participant
(i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and (ii) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.16, with
respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been
entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater
payment results from an adoption of or any Change in Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 this
Agreement) 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 United States Treasury
Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance
of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

64

(f)

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 without limitation (i) any such pledge or assignment to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and (ii) in the case of any Lender that
is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s
rights under this Agreement to any holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such Lender as security for such obligations or securities, or to any
trustee for, or any other representative of such holders and this Section
10.04(f) 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 assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.05

Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.14,
2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or
the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06

Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
 Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “PDF” or “tif” format) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07

Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

65

Section 10.08

Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender and each Affiliate thereof is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any
of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall have made any demand under
this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of
each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

(d)

Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the

The Borrowers acknowledge that from time to time financial advisory, investment
banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Company or one or
more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any

Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees,
charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under
applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful
rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law,
the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate
and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable
in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of

such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment,
shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.14

Additional Borrowers.  The Company may, upon 10 Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, designate any wholly-owned
Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia as an additional Borrower under the
Commitments (an “Additional Borrower”).  Such Subsidiary shall become an
Additional Borrower and a party to this Agreement upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent (and each Lender, in the case of the following clause (iv)
only) of (i) a joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, (ii)
an acknowledgement and confirmation by the Guarantor of its guarantee in respect
of the Borrower Obligations of such Subsidiary, (iii) corporate or other

Additional Borrowers hereunder shall be jointly and severally, unconditionally
and irrevocably, liable for the prompt and complete payment and performance of
the Borrower Obligations.  The Company and any Additional Borrowers each
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article VIII applicable to the

transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any document contemplated hereby),
each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and
other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent,
the arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
the Borrowers, the Guarantor and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand,

(B) each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,

FORM OF
ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2014 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among Eaton Vance Corp. (the “Company”), the Lenders party thereto
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).  Unless otherwise
defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Assignor identified on Schedule l hereto (the “Assignor”) and the Assignee
identified on Schedule l hereto (the “Assignee”) agree as follows:

The Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee without
recourse to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and
assumes from the Assignor without recourse to the Assignor, as of the Effective
Date (as defined below), (1) the interest described in Schedule 1 hereto in and
to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, including,
without limitation, the amounts and percentages set forth below of (i) the
Commitments of the Assignor on the Effective Date set forth below and (ii) the
Loans owing to the Assignor which are outstanding on the Effective Date ((i) and
(ii) above collectively referred to as the “Assigned Commitment”) and (2) to the
extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes
of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender)
against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection
with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant
thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or
related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims,
malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity
related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (1)
above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses (1) and
(2) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interest”).

The Assignor (a) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or with respect to the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
thereto, other than that the Assignor has not created any adverse claim upon the
interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear
of any such adverse claim; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company, any of
its Subsidiaries or any other obligor or the performance or observance by the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor of any of their respective
obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (c) attaches any promissory notes held
by it evidencing the Assigned Commitment and (i) requests that the
Administrative Agent, upon request by the Assignee, exchange the attached
promissory notes for a new promissory note or

A-1

notes payable to the Assignee and (ii) if the Assignor has retained any interest
in the Assigned Commitment, requests that the Administrative Agent exchange the
attached promissory notes for a new promissory note or notes payable to the
Assignor, in each case in amounts which reflect the assignment being made hereby
(and after giving effect to any other assignments which have become effective on
the Effective Date).  The Assignor represents and warrants that (i) it is the
legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest, (ii) the Assigned Interest
is free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim and (iii) it
has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and
deliver this Assignment and Assumption and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

The Assignee (a) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter
into this Assignment and Acceptance; (b) confirms that it has received a copy of
the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements delivered
pursuant to Section 3.04 thereof and such other documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this Assignment and Acceptance; (c) agrees that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Assignor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
discretion under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto;
(e) represents and warrants that attached to the Assignment and Assumption is
any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, duly completed and executed by the Assignee; and (f) agrees
that it will be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and will perform
in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of the
Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender including its
obligation pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement.

The effective date of this Assignment and Acceptance shall be the Effective Date
of Assignment described in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Effective Date”).  Following
the execution of this Assignment and Acceptance, it will be delivered to the
Administrative Agent for acceptance by it and recording by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date
(which shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, be
earlier than five Business Days after the date of such acceptance and recording
by the Administrative Agent).

Upon such acceptance and recording, from and after the Effective Date, the
Administrative Agent shall make all payments in respect of the Assigned Interest
(including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to the
Assignor for amounts which have accrued to the Effective Date but excluding the
Effective Date and to the Assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after
the Effective Date.  The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all appropriate
adjustments in payments by the

A-2

Administrative Agent for periods prior to the Effective Date or with respect to
the making of this assignment directly between themselves.

From and after the Effective Date, (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the
Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and shall be bound by the
provisions thereof and (b) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under the Credit Agreement.

This Assignment and Acceptance shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Assignment and
Acceptance to be executed as of the date first above written by their respective

Each of the Lenders from time to time parties

to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Chief Legal Officer of Eaton Vance Corp., a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Borrower”) and Eaton Vance Management, a
business trust established under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
(the “Guarantor”) and have acted as counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantor in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof, by and among the Borrower, the Guarantor, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto,
providing for Loans to be made by the Lenders named therein to the Borrower up
to an initial aggregate amount of $300,000,000 (the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Credit Agreement.  This opinion is being delivered pursuant to
Section 4.01(c) of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion I have examined and relied upon the Credit
Agreement, such certificates of officers or representatives of the Borrower, the
Guarantor and public officials, and such other documents, and have made such
investigations, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of
giving the opinions herein expressed.

I also have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to
matters of fact contained in the Credit Agreement.  Subject to the next
succeeding sentence, I have made no independent investigation, however, of the
facts contained in the Credit Agreement or the records and certificate described
above.  To my knowledge, such representations and warranties and the facts
contained in such records and certificate are true and accurate.

I express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other
than the federal laws of the United States of America and, solely with respect
to the opinion given in paragraph 6 below, the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

In examining all documents, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
thereon (other than the signatures of the Borrower and the Guarantor), the
accuracy of all statements

  as Administrative Agent, Lender and Swingline Lender

Each Lender Party to the Credit Agreement

contained therein, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents furnished to me
as certified or photographic copies, and the completeness of all documents
furnished to me.  I have also assumed the legal capacity (as distinct from
authority) and competency of any individual (other than the individual executing
the Credit Agreement on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantor) who has signed
any instrument referred to herein.  Nothing has come to my attention giving me
reasonable grounds to question the correctness of such assumptions.

Whenever in this opinion reference is made to matters of which I have knowledge,
such knowledge is based solely upon (i) information obtained from the documents
and other matters referred to above, (ii) responses of representatives or
officers, as appropriate, of the Borrower and the Guarantor to inquiries with
respect to their present recollection as to the matters referenced below, (iii)
review of documents in my files to which I have given substantive attention in
the course of my representation of the Borrower and the Guarantor and (iv)
customary diligence. I will not accept any liability whatsoever for any imputed
knowledge regarding such matters or any matters about which I should have known
except as noted above.

Subject to and based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower, including the
Guarantor, is an “investment company”, or a borrower “controlled” by an
“investment company”, each as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.  Except for the Persons listed on Schedule 3.08
to the Credit Agreement and other than net capital and other requirements
imposed on registered broker-dealers, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to any regulation under any Requirement of Law (other
than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

2.

The Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower, including the Guarantor, which
is engaged in investment advisory or investment management activities is duly
registered as an investment adviser as and to the extent required under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; and each Subsidiary of the
Borrower, including the Guarantor, which is engaged in the broker-dealer
business is duly registered as a broker-dealer as and to the extent required
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as and to the extent
required, is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.

3.

To my knowledge, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the
Guarantor, is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any federal
Governmental Authority which are normally applicable to the transactions of the
type contemplated by the Credit Agreement, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.

4.

To my knowledge, no consents or authorizations of, or filings with or notice to,
any federal Governmental Authority of the United States which are normally
applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement
(“Filings and Approvals”) are required for the due execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower and the Guarantor of the Credit Agreement, except
for Filings and Approvals which have previously been made or obtained and are in
full force and effect on the date hereof.

5.

Assuming the proceeds from the Loans will be used in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Borrower and the
Guarantor of the Credit Agreement do not, and the performance and observance of
the terms thereof will not, to my knowledge (a) result in the violation of any
order issued by any court or Governmental Authority or (b) conflict with, or
result in any breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in a Lien on the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s property
pursuant to, any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or the Guarantor
is a party.

6.

The Borrower has duly executed and delivered the Credit Agreement.

I express no opinion as to any matter other than as expressly set forth above,
and no other opinion is intended to be implied nor may be inferred herefrom.

The foregoing opinions shall be effective only as of the date of this opinion
letter.  I do not assume responsibility for updating this opinion letter as of
any date subsequent to the date of this opinion letter, and I assume no
responsibility for advising the Administrative Agent of any changes with respect
to any matters described in this opinion letter that may occur subsequent to the
date of this opinion letter.

This opinion is delivered solely for your benefit in connection with the closing

Each of the Lenders from time to time parties

to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Massachusetts and New York counsel to Eaton Vance
Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”) and Eaton Vance Management, a
Massachusetts business trust (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
by and among the Borrower, the Guarantor, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto, providing
for Loans to be made by the Lenders named therein to the Borrower up to an
initial aggregate amount of $300,000,000 (the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Credit Agreement.  This opinion is being delivered pursuant to
Section 4.01(c) of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Credit
Agreement.  In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:

(a)

a copy of the Articles of Incorporation of the Borrower (the “Articles of
Incorporation”) certified by the State of Maryland Department of Assessments and
Taxation (the “MD Department of Assessments and Taxation”) on October 14, 2014;

(b)

a copy of the Declaration of Trust dated October 30, 1990 establishing the
Guarantor (the “Declaration of Trust”) certified by the Secretary of State of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “MA Secretary”) on October 9, 2014;

(c)

a Certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower dated as of the date hereof,
certifying as to the matters set forth therein;

(d)

a Certificate of the Secretary of the Guarantor dated as of the date hereof,
certifying as to matters set forth therein;

(e)

a certain Certificate, dated as of October 9, 2014 (the “Borrower Certificate of
Good Standing”), from the MD Department of Assessments and Taxation relating to
the legal existence and good standing of the Borrower in the State of Maryland;
and

(f)

a certain Certificate, dated as of October 9, 2014 (the “Guarantor Certificate
of Good Standing”, and together with the Borrower Certificate of Good Standing,
the “Certificates of Good Standing”), from the MA Secretary relating to the
legal existence and good standing of the Guarantor in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.  

We have also examined and relied upon such other certificates of officers or
representatives of the Borrower, the Guarantor and public officials, and such
other documents, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of giving the opinions herein
expressed. We have not independently investigated or verified the facts
represented in any certificates referenced above and do not opine as to the
accuracy of any such facts.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed, without
investigation, that the representations and warranties as to factual matters of
the Borrower and the Guarantor in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.  In
addition, we have assumed, without investigation, the authenticity of any
document or instrument submitted to us as original, the conformity to the
originals of any document or instrument submitted to us as a copy, the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, the legal capacity of
natural persons and the genuineness of all signatures on such originals or
copies (other than the signatures of the Borrower and the Guarantor).  We have
also assumed, but not independently verified, that the execution, delivery and
performance of all documents, including the Credit Agreement, were duly and
validly authorized by each party thereto other than the Borrower and the
Guarantor and that all documents executed and delivered by a party other than
the Borrower and the Guarantor are legal, valid and binding obligations of such
party enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms.

We have assumed that the Guarantor has received reasonably equivalent value and
fair consideration in exchange for the obligation which it has undertaken under
its guarantee (within the meaning of those terms in Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101, et seq.) and Chapter 109A of the Massachusetts
General Laws) and that the Guarantor is not insolvent, rendered insolvent or
left with unreasonably small capital (within the meaning of those terms in

Each Lender Party to the Credit Agreement

Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and Chapter 109A of the Massachusetts General
Laws) as a result of the transactions contemplated thereby.

 Our opinions set forth below given “to our knowledge” and the factual matters
on which we have relied in giving other opinions herein are based solely upon
information coming to our attention in the course of our representation of the
Borrower and the Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Credit Agreement, or otherwise actually known to the lawyers in our firm who
have given substantive attention to such transactions.  

We express no opinion herein as to (i) the waiver of inconvenient forum or any
claim that venue is improper or provisions relating to subject matter
jurisdiction of the courts set forth in Credit Agreement, (ii) any provisions of
the Credit Agreement which provide for indemnification, contribution, waiver or
release to the extent such provisions may be limited or rendered unenforceable,
in whole or in part, by applicable federal or state securities laws, criminal
statutes, or the policies underlying such laws and by the effect of general
rules of contract law that limit the enforceability of provisions releasing,
exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification for
liability for, action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves
gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct, (iii)
provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or
modified except in writing, (iv) provisions in the Credit Agreement which
provide for severability of provisions, (v) provisions in the Credit Agreement
which provide for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies, (vi) any laws regarding fraudulent transfers or conveyances or bulk
sales, (vii) federal or state securities or blue sky laws, rules or regulations,
or (viii) the effect of any land use or environmental law, rule, regulation or
ordinance.  

With respect to the opinions expressed in Paragraphs 1(a) and 2(a) below as to
the valid existence and good standing of the Borrower and the Guarantor in the
State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, respectively, we have
relied solely on the Certificates of Good Standing and such opinions are
rendered as of the date of the relevant Certificate of Good Standing.  We
express no opinion as to the good standing status of the Borrower or the
Guarantor under any governmental taxing authority.  

We understand that you have received and will rely upon the opinion of Frederick
S. Marius, Esq., the Chief Legal Officer of the Borrower and the Guarantor, with
respect to certain matters involving federal law (the “Marius Opinion”).  We
express no opinion herein as to any matters set forth in the Marius Opinion.

Members of our firm involved in the preparation of this opinion are licensed to
practice law in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of New York and the
State of Maryland and, in rendering the following opinions, we do not purport to
be experts on, or to express an opinion herein concerning any law other than the
federal law of the United States (except as to those matters contained in the
Marius Opinion), the laws of The Commonwealth of

Massachusetts, the laws of the State of New York and, for the limited purpose of
the opinions in paragraphs 1 and 3 below, the statutory corporate laws of the
State of Maryland, irrespective of any choice of law provisions contained
therein.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the further limitations and
qualifications hereinafter expressed, it is our opinion that:

1.

The Borrower (a) is a Maryland corporation organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and (b) has the power and
authority to own assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted.

2.

The Guarantor (a) is a Massachusetts business trust duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and (b) has the power and authority to own assets and to carry on
its business as presently conducted.

3.

The Borrower has all corporate power and authority necessary to execute and
deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations under such
agreement.  All such action has been duly authorized by all necessary
proceedings on the part of the Borrower.

4.

The Guarantor has all trust power and authority necessary to execute and deliver
the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations under such agreement.  All
such action has been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on the part of
the Guarantor.  The Guarantor has duly executed and delivered the Credit
Agreement.

5.

The Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower and the Guarantor, enforceable against the Borrower and the Guarantor
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
(a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights, and (b) the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law), including without limitation (i) the possible unavailability
of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and
(ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.  

6.

The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantor of the Credit
Agreement do not, and the performance and observance of the terms thereof will
not result in the violation of (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the
Borrower; (b) the Bylaws of the Borrower; (c) the Declaration of Trust of the
Guarantor; (d) the Bylaws of the Guarantor; or (e) assuming the proceeds from
the Loans will be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any
present law, statute or regulation of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the
State of New York or the federal laws of the United States which in our
experience is normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated
by the Credit Agreement.

7.

No consents or authorizations of, or filings with or notice to, any Governmental
Authority of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of New York which
are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the
Credit Agreement (“Filings and Approvals”) are required for the due execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of the Credit
Agreement, except for Filings and Approvals which have previously been made or
obtained and are in full force and effect on the date hereof.

8.

To our knowledge, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the
Guarantor, is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of New
York which are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated
by the Credit Agreement, except where the failure to do so, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

The foregoing opinions shall be effective only as of the date of this opinion
letter.  We do not assume responsibility for updating this opinion letter as of
any date subsequent to the date of this opinion letter, and assume no
responsibility for advising the Administrative Agent of any changes with respect
to any matters described in this opinion letter that may occur subsequent to the
date of this opinion letter.

This opinion letter is delivered solely for your benefit in connection with the
closing under the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other
Person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that
it may be relied upon as of the date hereof by any successor or permitted
assignee or participant of any Lender as provided in the Credit Agreement.
