(b)In the event Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below) or if Executive terminates for Good Reason (as defined below), the portion of all unvested shares subject to outstanding equity awards with time-based vesting issued to Executive by Company equal to the number of shares that such equity award would have vested as of the end of the fiscal quarter during with the termination occurs shall be immediately exercisable and vested in full.

6.Payments Upon Termination.  Upon termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall receive payment of his Base Salary, pro-rated to the date of termination, any unpaid Annual Bonus earned by Executive in the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which his employment terminates, as well as any other accrued, but unpaid benefits (collectively the “Accrued Compensation”). Accrued Compensation will be paid in a lump sum no later than the date required under applicable law.  In addition, Company shall reimburse the Executive for all expenses incurred by him prior to the date of termination as provided in Section 8. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all other employment related obligations of Company to Executive shall be automatically terminated and completely extinguished with the termination of Executive’s employment. 

7.Severance.  

7.1Severance Payment.  In the event Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or if Executive terminates for Good Reason, Company shall provide Executive with a severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) equivalent to (i) twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) of Executive’s then Base Salary payable in equal installments over a twelve (12) month period, with the first installment payment made on the first payday occurring 30 days after the termination date and the remaining installments made on the following Company paydays and (ii) if the Annual Bonus goals for the fiscal year in which Executive’s employment terminates are met, 100% of Executive’s Annual Bonus for such year payable in a single lump sum on the 60th day following the end of such fiscal year.  In addition, Company shall continue payment of the premiums required to continue Executive’s health and dental benefits through the end of the Severance Period, provided that (A) Executive elects COBRA continuation benefits with respect to such health and dental benefits, and (B) Executive remains eligible for such benefits.  Company’s obligation to provide such paid continuation coverage will terminate at such time as Executive becomes eligible for such benefits (or their substantial equivalent) in connection with your subsequent employment or provision of services (Executive must immediately notify Company upon receipt of such benefits).The Company’s obligation to pay and Executive’s right to receive the Severance Payment shall cease in the event of Executive’s breach of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the CNIAA.  The Company’s obligation to provide Executive with the Severance Payment is conditioned precedent upon Executive’s execution of a full general release in a form acceptable to the Company and such release has become effective in accordance with its terms prior to the 30th day following the termination date.  For the sake of clarity, Executive shall not be eligible to receive severance in connection with any other form of termination, other than a termination without Cause or for Good Reason.

7.2Application of Section 409A.  

(a)Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A (the “Section 409A Regulations”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall be paid unless and until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations.  Furthermore, to the extent that Executive is a “specified Executive” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of Executive’s separation from service shall be paid to Executive before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month after the date of Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service.  All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

(b)The Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code.  The provisions of this 

WEST\268868397.64

 

Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  However, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.  In any event, except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to Executive, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.   

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits in any other taxable year; (2) the reimbursement of eligible expenses or in-kind benefits shall be made promptly, subject to the Company’s applicable policies, but in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d)For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

8.Business Expenses.  Executive will be reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of Company.  To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be submitted promptly with appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with Company’s policies.

In addition, Executive agrees not to refer any client or potential client of Company to competitors of Company, without obtaining Company’s prior written consent, during Executive’s employment and any period of time Executive is receiving Severance Payments pursuant to this Agreement.

For purposes of computing a period of time from a specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the word “to” and “until” each mean “to, but excluding”; provided that in calculating fees and interest payable hereunder, such period shall, in any event, consist of at least one full day.  Reference to “ordinary course of business” means, in respect of any transaction relating to a Loan Party, the ordinary course of such Loan Party’s business that is substantially the same as previously conducted by such Loan Party or is substantially consistent with past practice of such Loan Party, in each case undertaken by such Loan Party in good faith and not for the purpose of evading any covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 1.4Accounting and Financial Determinations.  Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein or in any other Loan Document shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Section 7.2.4) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to the re-characterization of leases that would have been characterized as operating leases on the Effective Date as Capitalized Leases.  In the event that any Accounting Change shall occur that results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition and performance of the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting 

- 30 -

Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.  Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred.  

Section 1.5Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).

2.7.1Issuance Procedures.

(a)By delivering to the relevant L/C Issuer, and, if the L/C Issuer is not Citibank, the Administrative Agent, a duly completed and executed Issuance Request, together with a duly completed application and agreement for such Letter of Credit as such L/C Issuer may specify, on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day not less than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three Business Days’ notice, that such L/C Issuer issue or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, as the case may be, a Letter of Credit in such form as may be requested by the Borrower and approved by such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit to be used solely for the purposes described in Section 4.10.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of issuance; and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Loans; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, if requested by the Borrower, provide on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Loans), unless the Administrative Agent  or such L/C Issuer shall have delivered to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit a notice of non-renewal.  The relevant L/C Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues hereunder.  Unless notified in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that a Default or Event of Default exists or that the conditions precedent for issuing the same have not been established, the relevant L/C Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s customary practices.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit application and agreement of the Borrower conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of request of such issuance any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any requirement of Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it.  No L/C Issuer shall be required to amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if at the time of the request therefor it would not be required to issue a Letter of Credit as provided in this clause.

(c)If the Administrative Agent is an L/C Issuer, it will notify the Lenders, within three (3) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, of all issuance, renewal and amendment to Letters of Credit during the preceding calendar month.  Each L/C Issuer that is not the Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days following the occurrence thereof) of the issuance, renewal and amendment of all Letters of Credit issued by it.

- 34 -

2.7.2Other Revolving Lenders’ Participation.

(a)Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender (other than each L/C Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty), to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in each such Letter of Credit, including all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto.

(b)If either (i) any L/C Issuer makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower has not, in accordance with Section 2.7.3, reimbursed in full the applicable L/C Issuer with respect thereto or (ii) any reimbursement received by any L/C Issuer from the Borrower is returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, each Lender shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay to each applicable L/C Issuer its Percentage of such payment or disbursement; provided that no such payment by the Lenders shall diminish the Obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7.3 to repay such disbursements and payments in full.  Each Lender agrees to make its required reimbursement payment not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that it receives a notice of payment or disbursement by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (or, if any Lender receives such notice after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next following Business Day), together with interest thereon from the date of requested prepayment until the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first three Business Days following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.  Any Lender’s failure to make available to the applicable L/C Issuer its Percentage of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available such other Lender’s Percentage of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s Percentage of any such payment or disbursement.

(c)Each Lender (i) that has complied with its obligations under this Section shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata share of Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2 with respect to each relevant Letter of Credit; and (ii) if such Lender has funded a reimbursement payment as provided in clause (b) with respect to a particular Letter of Credit, its Pro Rata share of all reimbursement payments paid by the Borrower with respect thereto.

2.7.3Disbursements.  Each L/C Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each such payment, a “Disbursement”).  Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit.  Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day that each relevant L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has made a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower receives such notice after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next following Business Day), the Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer and each such Lender that has made a reimbursement payment to such L/C Issuer with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.7.2(b), for all amounts which such L/C Issuer and each such Lender have 

- 35 -

disbursed under such Letter of Credit, together with interest thereon from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (subject to Section 3.2.2 with respect to late payments); provided, that the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.4 that such payment be financed with Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such reimbursement payments shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Loans.

2.7.4Reimbursement.  The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrower under Section 2.7.3 to reimburse each L/C Issuer with respect to each Disbursement and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse each such L/C Issuer (or if any reimbursement by the Borrower must be returned or disgorged by any such L/C Issuer for any reason), each Lender’s obligation under Section 2.7.2(b) to reimburse each such L/C Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or each such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit, or the existence of any Default or Event or Default; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrower or each such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against any L/C Issuer in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2.7.6.

2.7.5Deemed Disbursements.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.1.9 or, with notice from the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all the Letters of Credit Outstandings in an amount equal to 103% thereof.  Such cash collateral shall be held in a collateral account under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Obligations, all on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Moneys in such collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each L/C Issuer for Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy other Obligations.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  

2.7.6Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  The Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.7.2, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  No L/C Issuer shall be responsible for, nor shall any of the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit be affected by, any of the following:

(a)the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

- 36 -

(b)the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(c)the failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

(d)errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telecopier, telex or otherwise;

(e)any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order;

(f)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the L/C Issuers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or

(g)the existence of any Default or Event of Default, or the termination of the Commitments.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any L/C Issuer or Lender shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of, or in connection with, the form, validity issuance, transfer, payment, nonpayment or any other transaction related to any Letter of Credit, provided the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower or the Lenders to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and the Lenders to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise reasonable care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in each such determination.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

2.7.7International Standby Practices.  The International Standby Practices 1998 ISP 98 published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice most recently at the time of issuance of any standby Letter of Credit shall apply to each such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.8Swing Line Loans. 

(a)Borrowing Requests.  By utilizing a form of electronic communication that has been approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender the Borrower may irrevocably request, on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day a proposed Swing Line Loan is to be made, that Swing Line Loans be made by the Swing Line Lender in any minimum amount.  Notwithstanding Section 3.2.1(a), all Swing Line Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Promptly following confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender that all the conditions for making a Swing Line Loan have been satisfied, the proceeds of each Swing Line Loan shall be made available by the Swing Line Lender, by its close of business on the Business Day in which it receives such confirmation from the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower, by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Swing Line Lender by the Borrower.   Upon the making of any Swing Line Loan, and without further action, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty), to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in each such Swing Line Loan.

(b)Refinancing Swing Line Loans.  

(i)If:

(1)requested at any time by the Swing Line Lender (as communicated to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in its sole discretion;

(2)any Swing Line Loan is or will be outstanding on a date when the Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan be made; or

(3)any Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing;

then in each case, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) irrevocably agrees that it will, promptly following notice from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (3) (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to provide promptly for and on behalf of the Swing Line Lender), make a Revolving Loan (which shall initially be funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans then outstanding (such outstanding Swing Line Loans hereinafter referred to as the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”).  On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day following the occurrence of one of the foregoing (provided that if any Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day such funding shall be made by such Lender on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day), each such Lender shall deposit in an account specified by the Swing Line Lender the amount so requested in same day funds and such funds shall be applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  At the time the aforementioned Lenders make the above referenced Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of the Swing Line Lender) of any Revolving Loans pursuant to 

- 38 -

this clause, the amount so funded shall become outstanding under such Lender’s Revolving Note and shall no longer be owed under the Swing Line Note.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loan deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a Refunded Swing Line Loan in accordance with clause (i), the request for any such Refunded Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to clause (i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)In the event any Lender fails to fund when due as herein provided its Refunded Swing Line Loan or participation in any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.  Each Lender’s obligation to make Refunded Swing Line Loans and fund its participation in any Swing Line Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence  or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) the acceleration or maturity of any Loans or the termination of any Commitment after the making of any Swing Line Loan; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(c)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)If any payment that is received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned or disgorged by the Swing Line Lender for any reason, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Percentage thereof promptly following a demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (which demand the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly make upon the request of the Swing Line Lender), plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned to the Swing Line Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate; or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first 

- 39 -

Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.

Section 2.9Notes.  Each Lender’s Loans under a Commitment shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the original Commitment Amount.  Each Lender shall record in its records the outstanding amount owing pursuant to its Notes; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Such notations shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

Section 2.10Cashless Settlement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

Section 2.11Increase in Commitment.

(a)Request for Increase.  If no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrower may, from time to time, request (each an “Incremental Commitment Request”) by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders of the substance thereof) that the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount be increased by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $30,000,000 (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”); provided that (i) each such Incremental Commitment Request shall request an increase in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining portion of such of total amount) and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; and (ii) the Borrower may not submit more than two (2) Incremental Commitment Requests during the term of this Agreement.  The notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders describing each Incremental Commitment Request shall specify the time period (to be determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent but in no event to be less than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of delivery by the Borrower of the applicable Incremental Commitment Request to the Administrative Agent) within which each Lender is required to inform the Administrative Agent whether such Lender intends to provide any portion of the applicable Incremental Commitment.

(b)Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the required time period whether or not it agrees to provide any portion of the applicable Incremental Commitment and, if so, shall specify the amount of such Incremental Commitment it desires to be allocated to it.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment Amount.  Each determination by a Lender to provide a portion of an Incremental Commitment shall be made by it in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each Incremental Commitment Request.  To achieve the full amount of the Incremental Commitment specified in the applicable Incremental Commitment Request, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Borrower may obtain the agreement of additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to an Incremental Commitment 

- 40 -

Joinder Agreement.  Each such Eligible Assignee shall, as a condition to participating in any Incremental Commitment, be required to deliver all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to clause (e) of Section 4.6 and any other information that the Administrative Agent requires from Lenders as a condition to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(d)Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Commitment Amount is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of each such increase (each an “Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of each Incremental Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the applicable Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date.

(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to the occurrence of each Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) and signed by a Financial Officer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving the applicable Incremental Commitment; and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment, (A) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided, that such representations and warranties (x) that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) shall be true and correct in all respects if they are qualified by a materiality standard; (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (C) for the most recently completed Rolling Period prior to the applicable Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 7.2.4 before and after giving pro forma effect to the Credit Extensions to be made on the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date (to the extent the Borrower is requesting a Credit Extension on the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date), which compliance shall be evidenced by the due completion, execution and delivery of a Compliance Certificate; provided that, in the event the initial Credit Extension hereunder is requested after the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall be required to fulfill all conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 with respect to such Credit Extension, and to provide a certificate for the most recently completed Rolling Period prior to the date of such Credit Extension with respect to an Incremental Commitment that the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 7.2.4 (before and after giving pro forma effect to such Credit Extension); and (D) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including any accrued fees and out-of-pocket expenses) of each Lender providing such Incremental Commitment and Citibank in its capacity as Administrative Agent have been paid in full. 

(f)Terms of Incremental Commitment.  The terms and provisions of the Revolving Loans comprising each Incremental Commitment shall be documented solely as an increase to the Commitments without any change of terms to this Agreement and shall (i) rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with, and shall have the same guarantees as the existing Loans; (ii) have a maturity date that is not earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Class of Loans being increased; (iii) have a rate of interest as set forth in each applicable Incremental Commitment Joinder Agreement; provided, however that, with respect to any Class of the Loans, if the interest rate margin is greater than the interest rate margin on the existing Loans of such Class, the interest rate margin on the existing 

- 41 -

Loans of such Class shall be increased so as to equal the interest rate margin applicable to the Revolving Loans of such Class comprising such Incremental Commitment; and (iv) otherwise be treated the same as, and not be entitled to any additional benefits than or impose any more obligations than, the existing Loans.

(g)Notes.  Any existing Lender that has a Note and participates in any Incremental Commitment shall, substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of its Note to be replaced to the Borrower, receive a replacement Note that evidences the aggregate principal amount of its Loans outstanding hereunder.  Any new Lender requesting a Note shall receive such a Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Revolving Loans it is required to fund pursuant to the terms of this Section.

(h)Percentage Adjustment.  The Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to ratably adjust the Percentage of each or Lender in order to give effect to any Incremental Commitment with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment.  Upon a Lender providing any Incremental Commitment, each other Lender in the same Class as such Lender that does not participate in such Incremental Commitment shall have its Percentage reduced on a pro rata basis such that the total Percentage of all Lenders of such Class shall remain 100%.

(i)Incremental Revolver Prepayment.  If the Borrower shall increase the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section it shall prepay any Revolving Loans that are outstanding on the date of such increase (and pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loan ratable with any revised Percentages as provided in clause (b) that arise from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

3.2.2Post Default Rates.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on the Obligations at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and other amounts due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Loan plus 2% per annum from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (in any such case, after as well as before judgment); 

- 44 -

provided that no interest at such default rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

Such unused commitment fees shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.  The unused commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Unused Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Unused Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Unused Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

Section 3.4Administrative Agent’s Fees, etc.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts, on the dates and in the manner and subject to limitations set forth in the Fee Letter.

ARTICLE IV.
YIELD PROTECTION, TAXES AND RELATED PROVISIONS

Section 4.1Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful.  If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert any such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such Law or assertion.

Section 4.2Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Administrative Agent shall have determined or been instructed by the Required Lenders that adequate means do not exist for adequately and fairly determining the cost to the Lenders or do not adequately cover the costs of such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or calculating the same then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

Section 4.3Increased Costs, Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement);

(b)subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes; (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”; and (iii) Connection Income Taxes on its Credit Extensions or Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto); or

- 46 -

(c)impose on any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (other than Taxes), any Loan or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  A certificate of such Lender or such L/C Issuer delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to such additional amount or amounts that are necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer as aforesaid shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and shall be payable within 10 days after receipt thereof by the Borrower.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.4Funding Losses.  In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan) as a result of:

(a)any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 3.1, Section 4.1, Article VIII or otherwise;

(b)any Loans not being made as Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor;

(c)any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor; or

(d)the operation of Section 4.13; 

then, upon the notice of such Lender to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice) pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the 

- 47 -

reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  For the purpose of calculating the amount or amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of the amount or amounts payable under this Section.

Section 4.5Increased Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or such L/C Issuer or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to any such additional amount or amounts or reduced returns shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, and shall be payable within 10 days after the receipt thereof.  In determining such amount, each Lender or each L/C Issuer may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 4.6Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the 

- 48 -

relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

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

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so); (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

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

(g)Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the 

- 49 -

Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the 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 submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.6(g)(ii)(A), 4.6(g)(ii)(B) and 4.6(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the 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 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 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)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 under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN 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 under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN 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;

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

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-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 Borrower 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

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3,IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that 

- 50 -

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 H-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 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 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed 

- 51 -

to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

Section 4.7Payments, Interest Calculations, etc.  

(a)Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata account of the Lender Parties entitled to receive such payment, provided, however, that all payments with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be made only to the Swing Line Lender.  All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender (in the case of the Swing Line Loans), as the case may be, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower.  Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (in the case of the Swing Line Loans) on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue thereon.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit (and, in any event, on the same Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent is so received on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)) in same day funds to each Lender Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party.

(b)All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days).  If a Loan is repaid on the same day it is made one day’s interest shall be charged.  Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

- 52 -

Section 4.8Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff 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 its Pro Rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.9Setoff.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender or L/C Issuer and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, L/C Issuer or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer 

- 53 -

agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 4.10Use of Proceeds.  

4.10.1The Borrower shall apply, subject to any other restrictions contained herein, all the proceeds of the Loans to (a) fund the working capital needs of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (excluding the Parent); (b) pay for Permitted Acquisitions contemplated from time to time; (c) pay for Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.6, including to the Parent as specifically permitted thereby; (d) pay all fees, commissions and expenses relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and each other Loan Document; and (e) finance other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties (excluding the Parent) not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document.

4.10.2Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loans or any Letters of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person: (i) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with (x) any Sanctioned Person that, at the time of such funding or facilitation; or (y) in any Sanctioned Country; (ii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of applicable Anti-Terrorism and AML Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws, or Sanctions by any Person (including any Lender Party participating in any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated).  

Section 4.11Funding and Payment Reliance, etc.  

(a)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with clause (b) of Section 2.4 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at:  

(i)in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (1) for the first three (3) Business Days after such payment was due, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate; and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and (2) thereafter, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; and 

(ii)in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall 

- 54 -

constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  Nothing in this Section or otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to advance funds on behalf of any other Lender, relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of its failure to advance such funds.

(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, 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 a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate; or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such demand, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.

Section 4.12Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.6, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, 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 (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6, as the case may be, in the future; and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 4.13Replacement of Lenders.  If:

(a)any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5, 

(b)the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.6, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.12,

(c)any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or

- 55 -

(d)any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the 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, and consents required by Section 10.10), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.6) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in clause (b) of Section 10.10;

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 4.14Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.6 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or 

- 56 -

Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.16; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; and (ii) Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees. 

(A)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 3.3.1 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it and (ii) its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.16.

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 3.3.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.16.

(C)With respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swing Line 

- 57 -

Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below; (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender; and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.  Subject to Section 10.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, (A) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (B) second, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.16.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Non-Defaulting Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 4.15New Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be 

- 58 -

required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 4.16Cash Collateral by the Borrower.  

(a)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 4.14(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Outstandings, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person, other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 4.14 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Outstandings (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d)Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender); or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 4.14, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and, provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 9.2Exculpation.  

(a)Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or Related Parties thereof, shall be liable to any Lender or L/C Issuer for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or his own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Under no circumstances shall the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties be responsible for, incur any liability with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:  (i) any representations or warranties or statements made by any Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document; (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of any Loan Document; (iii) the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Collateral Documents or any other Loan Document; (iv) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of, or taking any action with respect to the care, protection or preservation of, any Collateral; (v) the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any covenants or agreements or other terms or conditions contained in the Loan Documents; (vi) the contents of any certificate, report or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document; (vii) the satisfaction of any conditions (including any conditions set forth in Article V) set forth in the Loan Documents; (viii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (ix) the financial condition of any Loan Party.

- 95 -

effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall not in any event 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 as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1).

Section 9.3Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.4Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise any and all of its rights under the Loan Documents by or through any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, sub-agents or Related Parties thereof, and the exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to each such Person or when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Person appointed by it to act on its behalf, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of any such Person.

Section 9.5Resignation of Administrative Agent.  

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such 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 on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (b) the Required Lenders shall 

- 96 -

thereafter perform all the duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue in effect, for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents and Related Parties thereof, in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b)Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time (i) any L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 10.10(b), such L/C Issuer may upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer; and/or (ii) any Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 10.10(b), such Swing Line Lender may upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as a Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  Upon the resignation of the applicable L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all Letter of Credit Commitments with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make any required reimbursement payments to such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.2(b)).  Upon the resignation of the applicable Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation.  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be; and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.6Rights as a Lender.  Citibank shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Credit Extensions made by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender, and may exercise such rights and powers to the same extent as if it were not the Administrative Agent.  Citibank and each of its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as a financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  Citibank shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any 

- 97 -

Loan Party to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.4Indemnification by the Borrower.  

(a)The Borrower agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each Lender Party and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (in each case whether asserted by any third party or any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates and irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties (including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel and consultants to the Indemnified Parties who may be retained by the Indemnified Parties) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), that arise out of or relate to:

(i)the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery or performance of the terms of, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party as the result of any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to fund any Borrowing);

(ii)any Credit Extension or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Credit Extension (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit);

(iii)any acquisition or proposed acquisition by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of all or any portion of the Equity Interests or assets of any Person, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is party thereto;

(iv)Environmental Laws relating to the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any their Subsidiaries, including the assertion of any Lien thereunder;

(vi)complying with or otherwise in connection with any order, consent, decree, settlement, judgment or verdict arising from the deposit, storage, disposal, burial, dumping, injection, spilling, leaking, or other placement or release in, on or from any property owned or leased by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any order under the Environmental Laws to clean up or decommission), whether or not such deposit, storage, disposal, burial, dumping, injecting, spillage, leaking or other placement or release in, on or from any such property of any Hazardous Material (1) results by, through or under any Real Property Assets of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries, (2) occurred with the Parent’s, the Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s 

- 104 -

knowledge and consent, or (3) occurred before or after the Effective Date, whether with or without the Parent’s, the Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s knowledge or;

(vii)any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory;

except in each case for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising solely from the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  This clause shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.  If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Parent, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable Law.  Such indemnification shall be available regardless whether the relevant Indemnified Party is found to have acted with comparative, contributory or sole negligence.  Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable for any damages 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 the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(b)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (or any director, officer, employee, agent or Related Party thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer (or any director, officer, employee, agent or Related Party thereof), such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause are several and not joint and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and, in any event, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand therefor.

(d)The Borrower and the Parent each agrees that, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), neither it nor any of its Affiliates will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions hereof (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes a full and unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Section 10.5Survival.  The obligations of the Parent and the Borrower under Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 10.3, and Section 10.4, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 9.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all the Obligations and the termination of all the Commitments.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender Parties and shall survive the 

- 105 -

execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Credit Extension, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder.  The terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect to the matters covered thereby, provided that the Fee Letter shall continue to control the matters covered thereby.

Section 10.6Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.7Headings.  The various headings of this Agreement and of each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or any provisions hereof or thereof.

Section 10.8Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers, 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 5.1, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.10Assignments and Participations.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 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)Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees 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 any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.  

(A)In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned.

(B)In any case not described in (b)(i)(A) of this Section the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)Proportionate Amounts.  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, except that this clause shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans.

- 107 -

(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C)the consent of each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(iv)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation.

(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (1) the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries; or (2) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause.

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon); and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under 

- 108 -

applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  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 (d) of this Section.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  

(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at an office specified from time to time a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations.  (i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (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, or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each other Lender Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.4 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participants.

(ii)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 

- 109 -

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 that requires the consent of all the Lenders or any affected Lender (if it is the same Lender selling the participation to the Participant) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.6, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.6 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 clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.12 and Section 4.13 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3 or Section 4.6, 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 a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.13 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.8 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the 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.

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

(f)Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State 

- 110 -

Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.11Press Releases and Related Matters.  The Parent and the Borrower agree that neither it nor any other Loan Party will issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or its Affiliates (other than the filing of the Loan Documents and related required filings with the SEC) without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and each such Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The Parent and the Borrower consent to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to the Borrower for review and reasonable comment prior to the publication thereof.  In addition, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations customary information for inclusion in league table measurements.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

ARTICLE XI.
GUARANTY

Section 11.1Guaranty.  For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make extensions of credit to the Borrower hereunder, the Parent hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations.  Any term or provision of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the aggregate maximum amount of the Obligations for which the Parent shall be liable under this Article XI shall not exceed the maximum amount for which the Parent can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates to the Parent, void or voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and (ii) the Obligations, as to the Parent, shall not include any obligations under any Lender Provided Swap Agreement to the extent and for any period that the Parent’s guarantee of such obligations would violate or be void or voidable under the Commodity Exchange Act.  

Section 11.2Waivers.  The Parent hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Obligations or any part thereof.  The Parent further waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice or demand or action or delinquency in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, provided that if at any time any payment of any portion of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Parent’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had not been made.  The Administrative Agent and the holders of the Obligations shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Parent their assessments of the financial condition of the Borrower.

Section 11.3Guarantee Absolute.  This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, is a primary obligation of the Parent and not merely one of surety, and the validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by, any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitution for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral; (c) any 

- 115 -

waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral, any other Guaranty with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations other than the Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Article XI even though the Administrative Agent or any other holder of an Obligation might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Article XI; (g) any change in the ownership of the Borrower or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Borrower; (h) change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (i) the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Article XI, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Article XI; (j) the existence of any claim, defense, deduction, recoupment, setoff or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against the Borrower, any or Loan Party or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction; or (k) any other circumstance, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which could constitute a defense to a guarantor (including all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral); all whether or not the Parent shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (k) of this Section.  It is agreed that the Parent’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other Guaranty or other obligations not arising under this Article XI at any time in effect with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof and that the Parent’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other Guaranty or other obligations not arising under this Article XI or any provision of any applicable Law purporting to prohibit payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Obligations in the manner agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Obligations.  This Guaranty is continuing, and shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full.  The Parent hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future transaction giving rise to any Obligation.

Section 11.4Acceleration.  The Parent agrees that, as between the Parent on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other holders of Obligations, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower guaranteed under this Article XI may be declared to be forthwith due and payable, or may be deemed automatically to have been accelerated, as provided in Article VII, for purposes of this Article XI, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Borrower or otherwise) preventing such declaration as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent for purposes of this Article XI.

Section 11.5Delay of Subrogation, etc.  Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the Guarantor pursuant to this Article XI, the Parent shall not be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other holder of Obligations, or have any right to obtain reimbursement or indemnification from the Borrower, until such time as the Administrative Agent, the 

- 116 -

Lenders and the other holders of Obligations shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of the Obligations.  

Section 11.6Subordination of Indebtedness.  Any Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to the Parent is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the payment of the Obligations, and if a default in the payment of any Obligations shall have occurred and be continuing, any such Indebtedness of the Borrower owed to the Parent, if collected or received by the Parent, shall be held in trust by the Parent for the holders of the Obligations and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with this Agreement. 

Section 11.7Keepwell.  Each Loan Party that is an ECP Guarantor at the time any Guaranty or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Article XI voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations and undertakings of each ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  Each ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 11.8Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitments and this Agreement with respect to the Obligations are terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of the Parent under this Section 11.8 shall survive termination in this Guaranty.

Section 11.9Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Parent or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

Section 11.10Condition of Borrower.  The Parent acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such 

- 117 -

information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as the Parent requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and the Parent is not relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to the Parent any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (the Parent waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
