46

a Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such reference period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such reference period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation (and all related financing transactions) had occurred at the beginning of the reference period.

(d)    If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Rate Management Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness).  For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the reference period.  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate as the Borrower may designate.
(e)    Any Person that is a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Subsidiary at all times during the reference period, and any Person that is not a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Subsidiary at any time during the reference period.

Section 2.06    .  Types of Advances.  The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12, or Swing Line Loans selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.07.  
Section 2.07    .  Swing Line Loans.  (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time from and including the Amendment Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding its Swing Line Commitment, or (iv) the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans.  The Borrower will repay in full each Swing Line Loan on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date for such Swing Line Loan.
(b)    To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or electronic mail (to such electronic mail addresses as the Administrative Agent shall specify) (in each case confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day 

49

of a proposed Swing Line Loan.  Each such notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be an amount not less than $1,000,000.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower.  The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swing Line Lender or wire transfer to an account designated by the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.22(e), by remittance to the LC Issuer) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan.
(c)    The Swing Line Lender may (and shall on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan made by it that is then still outstanding) by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its Swing Line Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance, prior to or after the funding of any Swing Line Loan, of a Default or Unmatured Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph.  Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a 

50

sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
Section 2.08    .  Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.  (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (other than any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% calculated per annum on the daily amount of the difference between the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding Swing Line Exposure) of such Lender during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date but excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)    The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Revolving Lenders in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure and further provided that a notice of a reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder.  
Section 2.09    .  Minimum Amount of Each Advance.  Each Eurodollar Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Credit Facilities, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess 

51

thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan or with respect to any Incremental Term Loan or Additional Revolving Facility, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Revolving Credit Advance which is a Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.
Section 2.10    .  Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments.  (i) The Borrower may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty except as provided in clause (b) below, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and increments of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of repayment.  The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04 and subject to clause (b) below, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  All voluntary principal payments in respect of the Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in such order as the Borrower may elect, or if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in the direct order of maturity.  All mandatory principal payments in respect of the Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof under Section 2.02 in the direct order of maturity.  
(b)    In the event that, on or prior to the date that is twelve months after the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(c) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.  Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

52

(c)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Term Loan until paid in full and/or Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e) below; provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower or any Subsidiary applies (or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 12 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder of a Similar Business or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild, develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other capital assets useful or to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of its Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing), then, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the giving of such notice and at the time of the proposed reinvestment, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by the end of such 12 month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such 12 month period, have not been so applied within 180 days after such 12 month period has expired).  The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.10(c).
(d)    Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (except, in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, Excess Cash Flow shall be calculated without regard for the first fiscal quarter of such fiscal year).  Each prepayment pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause with respect to any fiscal year shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of (i) voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans which were accompanied by corresponding permanent reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) all optional prepayments of the Term Loans, and (iii) mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, in each case only to the extent that such prepayments (A) were made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the start of the applicable fiscal year and 

53

prior to the due date for (or, if earlier, the actual payment date of) the prepayment under this clause with respect to such fiscal year and (B) have not resulted in a reduction of Excess Cash Flow or prepayments pursuant to this clause with respect to any prior fiscal year.
(e)    In the event of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (d), the prepayment amount shall be applied, first to repay outstanding Term Loans (and principal installments thereof on a pro rata basis) and second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans, without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment.
Section 2.11    .  Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances.  The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance.  Each such notice shall specify:
(a)    the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,
(b)    the aggregate amount of such Advance,
(c)    the Type of Advance selected, and
(d)    in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in funds immediately available in Chicago to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 13.  The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in an account designated in writing by the Borrower.  Borrower shall not have more than 8 Eurodollar Loans outstanding at one time.
Section 2.12    .  Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.  Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.10.  Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance 

54

with Section 2.10 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period.  Subject to the terms of Section 2.09, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) into a Eurodollar Advance.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/ Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:
(a)    the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,
(b)    the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and
(c)    the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.13    .  Changes in Interest Rate, Etc.  Each Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.12, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, plus the Applicable Margin.  No Interest Period may end after the Maturity Date. 
Section 2.14    .  Rates Applicable After Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, during the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to 

55

the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.02 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance.  During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.02, unless waived by the Required Lenders or until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, (A) each overdue Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (B) each overdue Floating Rate Advance and all overdue fees and other overdue amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Section 2.15    .  Method of Payment.  All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article 13, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans and except in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to LC Disbursements for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the applicable Lenders.  Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article 13 or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.  Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.15 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22(e).
Section 2.16    .  Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.  (A) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register as set forth in Section 12.01(c).
(c)    The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain 

56

such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d)    Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Note or a Swing Line Note, in each case as applicable.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.01) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
Section 2.17    .  Telephonic Notices.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically.  The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
Section 2.18    .  Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest on Eurodollar Advances, commitment fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or other amount hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case 

57

of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
Section 2.19    .  Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Revolving Credit Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder.  Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
Section 2.20    .  Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Exposure and the LC Issuer may book the Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in LC Exposure and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.  Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article 13, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit are to be made.
Section 2.21    .  Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (A) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (B) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for 

58

the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
Section 2.22    .  Letters of Credit.  
(a)    General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time from and including the Amendment Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall mail, hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the LC Issuer) to the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit in Dollars, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (y) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.
(c)    Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) seven days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one year period may 

59

provide for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods but in no event shall the date of such Letters of Credit extend beyond the period in clause (y) hereof.
(d)    Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer or the Lenders, the LC Issuer hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by the LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)    Reimbursement.  If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower (any such notice received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received by the Borrower on the next Business Day); provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.07 or 2.11 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit Advance which is a Floating Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Advance or Swing Line Loan.  If the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the 

60

Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the LC Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer, then to such Lenders and the LC Issuer as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Revolving Credit Advance or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.  Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Advance or Swing Line Loan pursuant to this Section 2.22(e) to reimburse the LC Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the LC Issuer.
(f)    Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (B) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (C) payment by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (D) 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, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s failure to exercise 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,  willful misconduct or bad faith, in each case on the part of the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised 

61

care in each such determination.  The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the LC Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the LC Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC 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.  The LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the LC Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the LC Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iii)).  The LC Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication ("SWIFT") message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures.  The LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the LC Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest.  If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made (or, if notice of such LC Disbursement is given  later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such LC Disbursement, then from and including the next Business Day) to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within five Business Days of the date when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date when due to and including the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per 

62

annum.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the LC Issuer with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement of the LC Issuer.  An LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor LC Issuer.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to paragraph (k) of this Section.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j)    Cash Collateralization.  If any Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding that the Borrower provide Cash Collateral for the LC Exposure (which notice shall be delivered no earlier than the earlier of the fifth Business Day of such Default continuing and the date of any acceleration of the Obligations with respect to such Default), the Borrower shall, on the Business Day of the receipt of such notice, Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.06 or 7.07.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been 

63

reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived.
(k)    Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) a participation fee (the “LC Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans on the face amount of such Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (B) to each LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed upon (but no more than 0.125% per annum) between the Borrower and such LC Issuer on the daily amount of the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  LC Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to the LC Issuers pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand.  All LC Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(l)    Outstanding Letters of Credit.  The letters of credit set forth on Schedule 2.22 hereto (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) were issued or deemed issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement and remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.  The Borrower, the LC Issuer and each of the Revolving Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit 

64

that effective upon the Amendment Effective Date (A) such Outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under and governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (B) each Lender shall participate in each Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Outstanding Letter of Credit.
(m)    Benefits and Immunities.  The LC Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the LC Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the LC Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 10 included the LC Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the LC Issuer.
Section 2.23    .  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.  (A) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If (i) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (ii) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.03, (iii) any Lender shall (x) default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or to pay to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, Swing Line Lender or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder, (y) notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in writing that it does not intend to comply with its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied) or (z) fail, within five Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the 

65

Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be an “Affected Lender” pursuant to this clause (z) upon receipt of such written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), (iv) any Lender or such Lender’s direct or indirect parent company shall become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or any similar proceeding (provided that a Lender shall not be an “Affected Lender” hereunder solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any Capital Stock in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Entity so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Entity) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender) or (v) any Lender shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby and has been consented to by the Required Lenders (any Lender described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may (x) elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have such right only if (i) concurrently with such replacement, (A) another bank or other entity (other than a Disqualified Institution at the time of assignment) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.01 applicable to assignments, and (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (x) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05, and (y) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.04 had the Loans or other Obligations of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, such additional payments continue to be required or such suspension is still effective and will be reduced or negated by such assignment and (iii) in the case of (iv) above, the applicable Eligible Assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (y) terminate all Commitments of such Affected Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender as of such termination date (including any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.04 as a result of such repayment).

66

Section 2.24    .  Pro Rata Treatment.  (iv) Except as provided below in this Section 2.24 and as required under Section 2.07, 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.05 or 11.02, each Advance, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee set forth in Section 2.08 and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment and each conversion of any Advance to or continuation of any Advance as an Advance of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of Collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations (i) following any acceleration of the Obligations, (ii) during the existence of a Default under Section 7.02 or (iii) during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations):  (E) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the LC Issuer in its capacity as such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Collateral Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them); (F) second, to payment of (i) that portion of the Obligations constituting principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (B) payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings, and reimbursement obligations, interest and fees in respect of Letters of Credit, (ii) Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations and (iii) an amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable LC Issuer equal to one hundred and one percent (101%) of LC Exposure to be held as Cash Collateral; and (G) third, to payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, ratably; and (H) last, in the case of proceeds of Collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, all Obligations in respect of LC Exposure but excluding any contingent obligations) have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by a 

67

court of competent jurisdiction.  Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including, without limitation, the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including, without limitation, in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party (including without limitation with respect to interests and costs regardless of whether or not such interest or costs are allowed as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceedings or enforceable or recoverable against the Loan Party or its bankruptcy estate), to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including, without limitation, in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.24, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.24. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.
(c)    In the event there is any Disgorged Recovery in respect of any Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure in any Insolvency Proceedings of any Loan Party, such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure shall be deemed to be outstanding as if such Disgorged Recovery had never been received by such Lender, and each Lender agrees that the intercreditor agreements and priorities set forth in this Section 2.24 shall be enforced in accordance with their terms in respect of such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure, including, without limitation, for purposes of the allocation of payments and distributions made or applied in respect of the Obligations (whether from proceeds of Collateral or otherwise), as well as for purposes of determining whether such other Lender must turn over all or any portion of any payment or other distribution received by such other Lender (whether before or after occurrence of such Disgorged Recovery) to the Administrative Agent for redistribution in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.24(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together 

68

with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Section 2.25    .  Incremental Credit Facilities.  (I) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Amendment Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches or additions to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the Revolving Loans or the establishment of one or more revolving credit commitments (each such increase or new commitments, an “Additional Revolving Facility”), provided that (A) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist, (B) if such Incremental Facility is to become effective prior to the Revolver Termination Date, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.22 determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the date of the most-recently ended fiscal quarter, in each case, as if such Incremental Term Loans or any borrowings under any such Additional Revolving Facility, as applicable, had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter of the Borrower for testing compliance therewith; provided that any Additional Revolving Facility shall be tested as fully drawn, (C) the First Lien Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis shall not exceed 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of the most-recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which financial statements are internally available (calculated as if such Incremental Term Loans or borrowings under any such Additional Revolving Facilities (in an amount equal to the full amount of such Additional Revolving Facilities), as applicable, had been outstanding on such last day; provided that any Additional Revolving Facility shall be tested as fully drawn) and (D) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clauses (B) and (C) above, if applicable, (which calculations shall, if made as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which the Borrower has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and compliance certificate required to be delivered by Section 6.01(d), be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for the relevant period). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and each Additional Revolving 

69

Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, and in all cases shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 or $5,000,000, as applicable, if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Additional Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000; provided that the aggregate amount of Additional Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $75,000,000.  In no event shall the Incremental Facilities be used for any purpose other than for the purposes set forth in Section 6.02.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in lieu of requesting Incremental Term Loans or an Additional Revolving Facility, the Borrower may issue first lien notes on a pari passu basis (the “Pari Passu First Lien Notes”), second lien notes (the “Incremental Second Lien Notes”) or unsecured notes (the “Incremental Unsecured Notes”), subject to, in the case of Pari Passu First Lien Notes and Incremental Second Lien Notes, an intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which Pari Passu First Lien Notes, Incremental Second Lien Notes and/or Incremental Unsecured Notes shall be treated the same as Incremental Term Loans for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that in no event will the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans, Additional Revolving Facilities, Pari Passu First Lien Notes, Incremental Second Lien Notes and Incremental Unsecured Notes exceed $500,000,000.
(b)    The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans and any Additional Revolving Facilities established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment:  (A) such Incremental Term Loans and the borrowings under such Additional Revolving Facilities shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (B) the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date of the existing Term Loans, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the exiting Term Loans, (D) the applicable yield relating to any term loans or revolving loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Amendment (each facility thereunder, the “Incremental Facility”), as applicable, shall not be greater than that with respect to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, plus 0.50% per annum (or, in the case of any Incremental Facility consisting of fixed rate notes, 1.00% per annum) unless the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, is increased so that the yield applicable to the applicable Incremental Facility does not exceed the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, by more than 0.50% per annum (or, in the case of any Incremental Facility consisting of fixed rate notes, 1.00% per annum); provided that in determining the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and the applicable Incremental Facility, (E) original issue discount 

70

(“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the existing Term Loans or  existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or the applicable Incremental Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity of the applicable Incremental Facility), (F) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the joint bookrunners (or their affiliates) in connection with the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the applicable Incremental Facility shall be excluded, (G) if the Eurodollar Base Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility includes a floor greater than any such floor that may be applicable to the analogous existing credit facility, such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable yield under the analogous existing credit facility and (H) in the case of any Incremental Facility consisting of fixed rate notes, the comparable rate shall be determined by inclusion of the applicable US Treasury to LIBOR swap rate applied in customary fashion and (I) the revolving loans incurred pursuant to such Additional Revolving Facility will mature no earlier than, and will require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Maturity Date of the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and all other terms of any such Incremental Facility (except as set forth in the foregoing clauses) shall be substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25(b) shall set forth (J) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities and (K) the date on which such the relevant increase is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice).  Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Additional Revolving Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (but each existing Lender will not have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Additional Revolving Facility) or by any other bank or other financial institution that are Eligible Assignees (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent, and to the extent of an Additional Revolving Facility, the LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Additional Revolving Facilities (collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”) to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 12.01 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Incremental Lender.  Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Additional Revolving Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental 

71

Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Terms Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, as applicable; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Amendment Effective Date under Section 4.02 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, unless it so agrees.
(d)    Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (which for purposes of this Section 2.25(d) shall be deemed to include any new revolving commitments provided under an Incremental Amendment) pursuant to this Section 2.25, (A) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Lender providing a portion of the Additional Revolving Facility (each, an “Additional Revolving Facility Lender”), and each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed (in the case of an increase to the Revolving Loans only), a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (B) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (C) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Additional Revolving Facility Lenders represented by such Additional Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (D) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans under the applicable facility outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Revolving Credit Facility be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.04. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment 

72

requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(e)    The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to effect such amendments to this Agreement as are required to effectuate the terms of any Incremental Amendment to the extent such terms are permitted under this Section 2.25.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such concurrence is required under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.
(f)    This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.24(a), 11.01 or 8.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.26    .  Defaulting Lenders.  
(a)    Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(ii)    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” and Section 8.02.
(iii)    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 Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.01 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 the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; 

73

third, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the LC 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 exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Pro Rata Share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to clause (iii) of this Section 2.26(a). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  
(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but 

74

only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  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 (a)(iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above) and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above). 
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the LC 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 on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to clause (a)(iii) of this Section 2.26), 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 Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE 3
YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES
Section 3.01    .  Yield Protection.  If, after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any assignee, after the date it became a party to this Agreement), the 

75

adoption of any law (including any CPA Change) or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: 
(d)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or
(e)    imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.01 shall not apply to any tax-related matters.
Section 3.02    .  Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender or an LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of 

76

such increased capital which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy).  “Change” means (A) any change after the Amendment Effective Date in the Risk Based Capital Guidelines, or (B) any adoption of or change in any other law (including any CPA Change), governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Amendment Effective Date which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any LC Issuer.  “Risk Based Capital Guidelines” means (C) the risk based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Amendment Effective Date, including transition rules, and (D) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Amendment Effective Date.
Section 3.03    .  Availability of Types of Advances.  If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (E) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (F) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04.
Section 3.04    .  Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.
Section 3.05    .  Taxes.  (A) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If the Borrower shall be required by law 

77

to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.05) such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (iii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iv) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law and (v) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.  
(f)    In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
(g)    The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.05) paid by the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.06.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h)    Each Lender and LC Issuer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes party to this Agreement, (iv) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) 

78

of the Code and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (v) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide certification evidencing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding taxes as required in this Section 3.05(d) shall not prevent a Person from becoming a Non-U.S. Lender under this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 12.03 in the case of a transfer), but shall affect such Person's entitlement to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 as provided herein. 
(i)    Each Lender and LC Issuer that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and 

79

such U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(j)    For any period during which a Lender or LC Issuer has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05 (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or LC Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Lender or LC Issuer that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s expense as such Lender or LC Issuer shall reasonably request to assist such Lender or LC Issuer to recover such Taxes.
(k)    Any Lender or LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(l)    If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.05(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
(m)    In the case of an Administrative Agent,  Lender or LC Issuer that would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA on payments made under 

80

this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer fails 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, Administrative Agent or LC Issuer, as applicable, shall provide 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer has complied with such Administrative Agent’s, Lender’s or LC Issuer’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payments.
(n)    If a Lender or LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.05 it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.05 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or LC Issuer and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such refund); provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or LC Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Lender or LC Issuer in the event the Lender or LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or LC Issuer to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or LC Issuer to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or LC Issuer to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
Section 3.06    .  Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.03, so long as such designation is not, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of 

81

amounts payable under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 for any amounts paid or losses incurred by such Lender as to which such Lender has not made demand hereunder within 120 days after the date such Lender has actual knowledge of such amounts or losses and their applicability to the lending transactions contemplated hereby. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall incur or have outstanding any Indebtedness to the SPEs.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.14: (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness or preferred stock described in clauses (a) through (w) above, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness or preferred stock in one of the above clauses; and (ii) at the time of incurrence or reclassification, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness or preferred stock in more than one of the types of Indebtedness or preferred stock described in clauses (a) through (w) above.
Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.14.
For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing 

101

Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.
The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(d)    Total Leverage.  Prior to the Revolver Termination Date, the Total Leverage Ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, shall not be greater than 5.00:1.00.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if (viii) the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of Section 6.22(a), (b), (c) or (d) as of the end of any fiscal quarter prior to the Revolver Termination Date and (ix) at any time during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the date that is 15 days after the date the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to such period pursuant to Section 6.01, the Borrower receives a cash contribution to its equity capital in exchange for common shares of its Capital Stock and gives written notice to the Administrative Agent that such cash contribution has been received and is a Specified Equity Contribution (any amount so identified, a “Specified Equity Contribution”), then the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution will be deemed to be an increase to Consolidated EBITDA and to the aggregate amount of assets used in calculating compliance with Section 6.22(c) solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.22(a), (b), (c) and (d) at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or any other purposes hereunder); provided that (A) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, and no more than four Specified Equity Contributions may be made from the Amendment Effective Date through the Revolver Termination Date and (B) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Sections 6.22(a), (b), (c) and (d).  If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Sections 6.22(a), (b), (c) and (d), the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement.  From the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution with respect to a fiscal period until the 20th day after financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to a breach of Sections 6.22(a), (b), (c) or (d) with respect to such fiscal period, but any such breach shall not be deemed waived for purposes of Section 4.02 until such Specified Equity Contribution is received by the Borrower.
Section 6.23    .  Subsidiary Guarantees.  On the Amendment Effective Date and thereafter, on or before the 30th day following each date required for 

116

delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), the Borrower shall cause the following entities to be or become Guarantors hereunder:  (i) each Material Domestic Subsidiary at such time and (ii) other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries such that, after giving effect thereto, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are Guarantors (considered without duplication and without consolidation with any of their respective Subsidiaries that are Non-Guarantors) account for at least (A) 90% of the total consolidated assets and (B) 90% of the total consolidated revenues, in each case of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries determined for the most recent fiscal quarter then ended (in the case of (A)) or most recent fiscal year then ended (in the case of (B)).  To effect the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause an Authorized Officer of each Subsidiary that is so required to become a Guarantor at such time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a joinder agreement under the Guaranty in a form (together with any related certificates and opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at which time any Authorized Officer becomes aware that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary.  
Section 6.24    .  Collateral.  Effective upon any Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor after the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause such Guarantor within fifteen Business Days after becoming a Guarantor (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a first (subject to Permitted Liens) priority security interest in all assets (including real property and the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) of such Guarantor pursuant to documentation (including related certificates and opinions) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower will, and will cause the Borrower and each of the Guarantors to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) neither the Borrower nor any other Guarantor shall be obligated hereby to grant a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation, (b) the Collateral shall not include a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of contracts or applicable law (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code), (c) fee-owned real property having an individual fair market value of less than $2,500,000 or aggregate fair market value of less than $10,000,000 shall be excluded from the Collateral, (d) the Collateral shall not include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable or Portfolio Securities, or deposit or security accounts (except to the extent that the foregoing are proceeds 

117

of Collateral; provided that in no event shall any control agreements be required) containing any of the foregoing, other assets requiring perfection through control agreements, letter-of-credit rights, leasehold real property, motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than any corporate aircraft), interests in certain joint ventures and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of one or more third parties and obligations the interest on which is wholly exempt from the taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Code, (e) the pledge of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries shall be limited to 65% of the Capital Stock of material first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries, (f) the Administrative Agent shall have the discretion to exclude from the Collateral immaterial assets, assets as to which it and the Borrower determine that the cost of obtaining such security interest would outweigh the benefit to the Lenders and other assets in which it may determine that the taking of a security interest would not be advisable, and (g) no foreign law security or pledge agreements shall be required.
Section 6.25    . Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions.  The Borrower hereby guarantees the payment and performance of all Secured Obligations of each other Loan Party and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each such other Loan Party in order for such other Loan Party to honor its obligations under the Guaranty including obligations with respect to Rate Management Transactions (provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this Section 6.25 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.25, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Loan Document, as it relates to such other Loan Parties, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 6.25 shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated.  The Borrower intends that this Section 6.25 constitute, and this Section 6.25 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

If (i) a Revolver Financial Covenant Default occurs, the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans to be due and payable, or both, and (ii) any other Default occurs, subject to Section 8.02 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon, in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02 and Sections 8.03 and 8.04 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided, however, that the portion of any Loans held by Specified Debt Funds in the aggregate in excess of 49.9% of the Required Amount of Loans shall be disregarded in determining Required Lenders at any time and provided further that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or in the case of subsections 8.02(b), (d), (e) and (f), all of the Lenders):

(e)    Amend this Section 8.02 or Section 11.02 (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.25) may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Amendment Effective Date and this Section 8.02 may be amended by the Required Lenders to reflect such extensions of credit).
(f)    Release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty, except, in either case, as contemplated by Section 10.10;
Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in Section 2.25 to the contrary:  the consent of the Required Term Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that (A) extends the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan or (B) alters the amount or application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 in a manner adverse to the interests of Lenders with Term Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document but subject to the proviso in Section 7.03, (i) no Term Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Unmatured Default or a Default if the only such Unmatured Default or Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Revolver Financial Covenant Default, (ii) no Term Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove (x) any amendment or modification to 

123

Section 6.22, (y) any waiver of a Revolver Financial Covenant Default or (z) any waiver or amendment of any requirement under Section 4.02 or any other provision that impacts only the Revolving Lenders or the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) it is understood and agreed that any Term Loans held by any Term Lender shall be excluded from any vote of the Lenders (and shall be deemed to not be outstanding) for the purposes described in clause (i) above and clause (ii) above, including in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have directed the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising any such rights or remedies or to approve or disapprove any such amendment, modification or waiver.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way limit or restrict the rights or remedies of the Term Lenders in connection with any Unmatured Default or Default other than a Revolver Financial Covenant Default (whether arising before or after the occurrence of the Revolver Financial Covenant Default) or the right of any Term Lenders to approve or disapprove any amendment or modification to any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document or to waive any Unmatured Default or Default other than a Revolver Financial Covenant Default.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer.  No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loan made by such Swing Line Lender shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender.  The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.01(b)(iv) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the consent of each such Lender directly affected thereby shall be required to (i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender, (ii) extend the final maturity of any Loan, (iii) forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any LC Disbursements or (iv) amend Section 2.24.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the definition of “Revolver Financial Covenant Default” may not be amended without the written consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders.
At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall identify from the list of Lenders maintained by the Administrative Agent, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, those Lenders that are Affiliated Lenders.  
Section 8.03    .  Replacement Loans.  In addition, subject to Section 2.10(b) and 2.25, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to 

124

permit the refinancing of all of the outstanding Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) or the replacement of the Aggregate  Revolving Credit Commitment (the “Refinanced Commitment”) with one or more replacement term loan tranches hereunder which shall be Loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans) or one or more new revolving commitments (the “Replacement Commitments”); provided that (C) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (D) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, (E) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, at the time of such refinancing, (F) the aggregate amount of the Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Refinanced Commitment, (G) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Applicable Margin for the Refinanced Commitment, (H) the borrower of such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Commitment shall be the Borrower and (I) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans or Replacement Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans or Refinanced Commitments, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
Section 8.04    .  Errors.  Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.02, if following the Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).
Section 8.05    .  Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence.  Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, 

125

amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.02 or as otherwise provided in Section 8.03 or 8.04, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.  All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 9.05    .  Several Obligations; Benefits of This Agreement.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such).  The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

127

damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee or (y) arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees, and in such event solely to the extent that the underlying dispute does not arise as a result of an action, inaction or representation of, or information provided by or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  
(e)    To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the LC Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the LC Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the LC Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or LC Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 9.05.
(f)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(h)    The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
Section 9.07    .  Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, 

128

enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
Section 9.08    .  Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.  The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the party from which recovery is sought or any dispute solely between or among the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer and/or any Lender and not involving the Borrower, the Sponsors or their respective Affiliates.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 9.09    .  Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any Information (as defined below) which it may receive from the Borrower in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates for use solely in connection with the performance of their respective obligations hereunder contemplated hereby, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory or self-regulatory officials, (d) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, provided that each such Person agreed to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as provided under this Section 9.09, (g) permitted by Section 12.02, and (h) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder.  Without limiting Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that 

129

the terms of this Section 9.09 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.09 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such Information.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or representatives relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or other representatives or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.  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 to its own confidential information.
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.09 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

130

Section 9.10    .  Nonreliance.  Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) for the repayment of the Credit Extensions provided for herein.
Section 9.11    .  Disclosure.  The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that Bank of America and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each Loan Party acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers on the other hand, (B) the Borrower and each Loan Party have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each Loan Party are capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger are and have been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any  Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower nor any Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the Loan Parties and any of their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.13    .  USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that 

131

identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
ARTICLE 10 
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 10.01    .  Appointment and Authority.  (b) Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the LC Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Article 8, Article 9 and this Article 10 (including Section 9.06, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 10.02    .  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 10.03    .  Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in 

132

the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
(h)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(i)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(j)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(k)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) 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 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the LC Issuer.
(l)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(m)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any assignment or participation made to a Disqualified Institution.
Section 10.04    .  Reliance 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 

133

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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the LC Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the LC 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 10.05    .  Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Section 10.06    .  Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuer 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 and shall in no event be a Disqualified Institution.  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 LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders 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 (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the LC Issuer under any of the 

134

Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the LC Issuer directly, 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 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 8.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.09    .  Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(k)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposures and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08, 2.22(k) and 9.06) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

136

(bb)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii)  if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 8.02;

(dd)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.18(r).
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

ARTICLE 11 
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
Section 11.01    .  Setoff.  If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time 

137

and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26 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, the LC Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) 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 under this Section 11.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
Section 11.02    .  Ratable 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 participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans; provided that (n) 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 (o) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant pursuant to Section 12.01.
ARTICLE 12 
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
Section 12.01    .  Successors and Assigns.  (p)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and 

138

their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder 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 assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.01(f) (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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
(q)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 12.01(b), participations in LC Exposures and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
		
	(ii)
	(E)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(F)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the 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 $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members 

139

of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(iii)    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis;
(iv)    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (or in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment, is to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender) or (3) in the case of assignments during the primary syndication of the Term Loan Commitments; 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 10 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 for assignments in respect of (1) any Term Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, an Affiliated Lender or a Specified Debt Fund;
(C)    the consent of the LC Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

140

(D)    the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(v)    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (and such Assignment and Assumption shall include a representation by any Affiliated Lender party thereto as to its status as an Affiliated Lender), together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(vi)    No such assignment shall be made (x) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates (other than Specified Debt Funds, provided no such assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans shall be made to a Specified Debt Fund) or Subsidiaries (except with respect to the assignment of Term Loans in accordance with Section 12.01(h) or 12.01(i)) or (y) to any person that is Disqualified Institution at the time of such assignment.
(vii)    No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the Amendment Effective Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 9.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 Section 12.01(c). 
Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make an assignment of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment to any Disqualified Institution.  
(r)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each 

141

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 and LC Exposures owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  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. 
(s)    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 Disqualified Institution) (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 (including such Lender’s participations in LC Exposures and/or Swing Line 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 the LC Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 12.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.01 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.02 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 in the United States of America 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 to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its obligations under any Loan Document) 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.  Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not sell any participations of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment to any person who is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such sale.  
(t)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with 

142

respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a foreign lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.05(d) as though it were a Lender.
(u)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 12.01(b), Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as applicable, may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer and/or (ii) in the case of Bank of America, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. resigns as LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC Exposures with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.22(d)).  If Bank of America or JPMorgan resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the 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, including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.07.  Upon the appointment of a successor LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor LC 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 Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as applicable, to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as applicable, with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(w)    Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

143

(v)    [Reserved];
(vi)    Affiliated Lenders will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings hereunder, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2; and
(vii)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (including any Incremental Term Loans) outstanding at such time under this Agreement.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans (or Commitments in respect thereof) held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have been voted pro rata in accordance with the votes of all Lenders other than Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any such actions.
(x)    If any assignment is made (i) to an Affiliated Lender such that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders described in subsection (h)(iii) above exceeds 25% (a “Disqualified Affiliated Lender”) or (ii) to a Disqualified Institution (a “Disqualified Assignee” and, together with the Disqualified Affiliated Lender, the “Disqualified Assignees”), such assignment shall be null and void ab initio.  Any Disqualified Assignee shall be deleted from the Register as of the date that the Administrative Agent has knowledge of its status as a Disqualified Assignee.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for reversing payments made to any Disqualified Assignee following its receipt of an assignment.
(y)    So long as no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to 

144

all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open markets purchases, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:
(i)    The Borrower shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such purchase and assignment that neither the Borrower nor any of its directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Term Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to the Borrower as applicable; 
(ii)    The Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;
(iii)    borrowings of Revolving Loans shall not be made to directly fund the purchase or assignment;
(iv)    any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower;
(v)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower or the Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and
(vi)    the cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.10, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in above shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans.
Section 12.02    .  Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, actual or proposed assignee of an interest in the Obligations or Loan Documents (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession 

145

concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by an agreement with provisions at least as restrictive as those provided under Section 9.09 of this Agreement.
Section 12.03    .  Tax Treatment.  If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(d) or (e), as applicable.

AUCTION PROCEDURES

This outline is intended to summarize certain terms of procedures with respect to Auctions pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 12.01(h) and 12.01(j) of the credit agreement, of which this Exhibit H is a part (the “Credit Agreement”). It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable Auction Procedures set for each Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell by assignment any of its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Auction as a Lender) or whether or not the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Lender should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Lender pursuant to any Auction. Each Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Auction and the Offer Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 12.01(h) shall also apply to all non-pro rata assignments of Term Loans made to Affiliated Lenders, and the provisions of Section 12.01(i) shall also apply to all non-pro rata assignments of Term Loans made to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Summary. Affiliated Lenders, the Borrower and any Subsidiary may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis by conducting one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein; provided, that no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time and no more than four Auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower.

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower, the applicable Subsidiary or the applicable Affiliated Lender (as applicable) (the “Offeror”) will provide notification to the auction manager, which shall be the Administrative Agent or a bank, an investment bank or affiliate thereof of recognized standing selected by the Borrower (or such other investment bank), (the “Auction Manager”) for distribution to the Lenders of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Offeror is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $1,000,000; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000, at which the Offeror would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice 

(such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Offeror to the Auction Manager.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”, to be included in the Offer Documents) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided, that each Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender at such time. A Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent (the “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”). The Offeror will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Offeror, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Offeror to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Offeror has received Qualifying Bids). The Offeror shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All principal amount of Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price in cash equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

Proration Procedures. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in 

any given Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Offeror shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the next Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Offeror onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Offeror may withdraw an Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid.  However, an Auction shall become void if the Offeror fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in Section 12.01(h) or 12.01(j) of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, or to otherwise comply with any of the provisions of such Sections 12.01(h) or 12.01(j). The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in an Auction shall be paid in cash by the Offeror directly to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Offeror (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Offeror shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Offeror, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be final and binding. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Offeror, will be final and binding.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

Immediately upon the consummation of an Auction pursuant to Section 12.01(h) or 12.01(j) of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loans subject to such Auction and all rights and obligations as a Lender related to such Term Loans shall for all purposes (including under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall obtain nor have any rights as a Lender under the Credit Agreement or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of the acquisition of any Term Loans subject to such Auction.

The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under an Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article 10 and Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

This Exhibit H shall not require the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliated Lender to initiate any Auction, nor shall any Lender be obligated to participate in any Auction.MGI-EX10.4_Form of MoneyGram International, Inc. 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan Global Performance Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

MONEYGRAM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
2005 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT 
AWARD AGREEMENT
This PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made by and between MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _______________ (the “Participant”).  The grant date of this award is __________ (the “Grant Date”).  
1.Award.
The Company hereby grants to the Participant a Performance Restricted Stock Unit (a “Unit”) award covering _____ shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company according to the terms and conditions as provided in this Agreement, including any country-specific appendix thereto (the “Appendix”), and in the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the vesting requirements of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan.  The Units are granted under Section 6(c) and 6(d) of the Plan.  The Units are subject to appropriate adjustment as may be determined by the Committee from time to time in accordance with Section 8(c) of this Agreement.  A copy of the Plan will be furnished upon request of the Participant.  Each capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to that term in the Plan.
The Units granted under this Agreement to “covered employees” (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder) are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” as described in Code Section 162(m)(4)(C) (“Qualified Performance-Based Compensation”).  
2.    Vesting.  

(a)    Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Units granted under this Agreement shall vest and become payable in Shares (i) to the extent the performance goals (the “Performance Goals”) applicable to the performance period (the “Performance Period”) specified in the attached Schedule A, Section 3 are attained, as determined accordance with Section 2(b) below and (ii) as long as the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date through the latter of the last day of the performance period or the vesting date specified in the attached Schedule A, Sections 2 and 6.
(b)    As soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goals; provided, however, that in the case of Units intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based 

6574184-v16\GESDMS 

Compensation, the determination of the level of attainment of Performance Goals shall be certified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) by the Committee, which shall be comprised of “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m).  On the basis of the determination or certified level of attainment of the Performance Goal, the number of Units that are eligible to vest shall be calculated.  In the case of Units that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may not increase the number of Units that may be eligible to vest to a number that is greater than the number of Units determined in accordance with the foregoing sentence, but it retains the sole discretion to reduce the number of Units that would otherwise be eligible to vest based on the attainment level of the Performance Goals.  For Units that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Performance Goal may not be adjusted except as specified in the attached Schedule A, Section 4 in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m).  For Units that are not intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such adjustment to the Performance Goal as the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate.
(c)    The Participant shall have no rights to the Shares until the Units have vested.  Prior to settlement, the Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company.
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” shall mean any present or future “subsidiary corporation” of the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.
3.    Settlement of Units.  Any Units that vest shall be paid to the Participant solely in whole Shares on, or as soon as practicable after, the date the Units vest in accordance with Section 2 above (or, if sooner, Section 5 below), but in any event, no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year of vesting. 
4.    Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or by the Committee, the Units shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  The Units may not be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance of the Units shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Subsidiaries.
(b)    None of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Unit award shall be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended).
5.    Effect of Involuntary Termination Following Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the vesting provisions contained in Section 2 above, but subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, from and after a Change in Control (as defined below) the following provisions shall apply:

2
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

(a)    Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5, if the Units are assumed or otherwise replaced in connection with a Change in Control and the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without Cause (as defined in Section 5(c) below) or the Participant terminates his or her employment for “Good Reason” (as such term is defined below) in each case within 12 months following the occurrence of such Change in Control, then the Units will immediately vest with respect to a number of Units that is the greater of (i) the Target Number of Units specified in the attached Schedule A, Section 1 and (ii) the number of Units determined based on the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goal as of the date of the Change in Control.  
(b)    “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean following a Change in Control:  (A) a material reduction in the Participant’s position or responsibilities from the Participant’s position or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith; (B) a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary or target bonus opportunity, if any, as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control, except in connection with an across-the-board reduction of not more than 10% applicable to similarly situated employees of the Company, or (C) the reassignment, without the Participant’s consent, of the Participant’s place of work to a location more than 50 miles from the Participant’s place of work immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided that none of the events described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) shall constitute Good Reason hereunder unless (x) the Participant shall have given written notice to the Company of the Participant’s intent to terminate his employment with Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of any such event and (y) the Company shall have failed to remedy such event within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such notice.
(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding the definition of Change in Control in any other agreement or plan that may be applicable to the Participant, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) a sale, transfer or other conveyance or disposition, in any single transaction or series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) the transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding securities of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, to an entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the United States Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), or (iii) the merger, consolidation reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange of the Company with another entity, in each case in clauses (ii) and (iii) above under circumstances in which the holders of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company, as the case may be, immediately prior to such transaction, together with such holders’ affiliates and related parties, hold less than 50% in voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company or the surviving entity or resulting entity, as the case may be, immediately following such transaction; provided, however, that the issuance of securities by the Company shall not, in any event, constitute a Change in Control, and for the avoidance of doubt a sale or other transfer or series of transfers of all or any portion of the securities of the Company held by the Investors and their affiliates and related parties shall not constitute a Change in Control unless such sale or transfer or series of transfers results in an entity or group (as defined in the Exchange Act) other than the Investors and their affiliates and related parties holding more than 50% in voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company.

6574184-v16\GESDMS 

For purposes hereof, “Investors” shall mean the “Investors” as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2008, by and between the Company and the other parties thereto, and their respective affiliates (not including the Company).

If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for Cause (as defined below) or the Participant resigns for any reason, including as a result of the Participant’s retirement, any Units that are not vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall be immediately forfeited.
(b)    Involuntary Termination/Disability/Death Prior to Mid-Performance Period.  If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause or is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined below) prior to the completion of 50% of the Performance Period, the Units that are not vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall immediately be forfeited.

6574184-v16\GESDMS 

(c)    Involuntary Termination/Disability/Death Following Mid-Performance Period.  If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause or due to death or Disability after the completion of 50% of the Performance Period, the Units that are not vested as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment shall vest with respect to a number of Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Units that would be eligible for vesting based on the actual level attainment of the Performance Goal with respect to the entire Performance Period, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was employed during the Performance Period as of the date of the employment termination and the denominator of which is the number of days contained in the Performance Period.  
(d)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Participant becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any twenty-four (24) consecutive month period to perform his or her duties. Any question as to the existence of the Disability of the Participant for purposes of this Agreement shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician selected by the Company.  The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Participant shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement.
(e)    For purposes of this Agreement, termination of the Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of any local employment law in the country where the Participant resides, and whether or not later found to be invalid) shall be effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under an employment law or practice in the country where the Participant resides, even if otherwise applicable to the Participant’s employment benefits (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period); furthermore, in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment, the Participant’s right to vest in the Units after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date the Participant ceases to provide active services and will not be extended by any notice period describe above; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Unit award, and if the Participant is a U.S. taxpayer, such determination shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A.
7.    Forfeiture and Repayment Provisions.
(a)    Failure to properly execute the Agreement (and each other document required to be executed by the Participant in connection with the Participant’s receipt of the Units) in a timely manner following the Grant Date may result in the forfeiture of the Units, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company. 
(b)    The right to vest in the Units shall be conditional upon the fact that the Participant has read and understood the forfeiture and repayment provisions set forth in this Section 7, that the Participant has not engaged in any misconduct or acts contrary to the Company as described below, and that the Participant has no intent to leave employment with the Company or any of its 

5
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

Subsidiaries for the purpose of engaging in any activity or providing any services which are contrary to the spirit and intent of the Post-Employment Restriction Agreement.
(c)    The Company is authorized to suspend or terminate this Unit award prior to or after termination of employment if the Participant engages in any conduct agreed to be avoided pursuant to the Post-Employment Restriction Agreement. If, at any time during the applicable restriction period described in the Post-Employment Restriction Agreement, the Participant engages in any conduct agreed to be avoided pursuant to the Post-Employment Restriction Agreement, then any gain (without regard to tax effects) realized by the Participant from the vesting of the Units, in whole or in part, shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. The Participant consents to the deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes to the Participant to the extent of the amounts the Participant owes the Company hereunder.
(d)    Misconduct
(i)    The Company is authorized to suspend or terminate this Unit award prior to or after termination of employment if the Company reasonably determines that during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries:
(1)    The Participant knowingly participated in misconduct that causes a misstatement of the financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or misconduct which represents a material violation of any code of ethics of the Company applicable to the Participant or of the Always Honest compliance program or similar program of the Company; or
(2)    The Participant was aware of and failed to report, as required by any code of ethics of the Company applicable to the Participant or by the Always Honest compliance program or similar program of the Company, misconduct that causes a misstatement of the financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or misconduct which represents a material violation of any code of ethics of the Company applicable to the Participant or of the Always Honest compliance program or similar program of the Company.
(ii)    If, at any time after the Participant vests in the Units, in whole or in part, the Company reasonably determines that the provisions of Section 7(c) applies to the Participant, then any gain (without regard to tax effects) realized by the Participant from such vesting shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. The Participant consents to the deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes to the Participant to the extent of the amounts the Participant owes the Company under this Section 7.
8.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Issuance of Shares.  Upon any vesting of the Units, and subject to the payment of any Tax-Related Items (as defined under Section 8(d) below), the Company shall deliver the Shares in book entry form at the times specified in Section 3 above.  The Shares acquired shall be registered in the name of the Participant, the Participant’s transferee, or if the Participant so requests, in writing at the time of vesting, jointly in the name of the Participant and another 

6
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

person with rights of survivorship. If the Participant dies, the Shares acquired shall be registered in the name of the person entitled to receive the Shares in accordance with the Plan. 
(b)    Rights as Shareholder.  Units are not actual Shares, but rather, represent a right to receive Shares according to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the terms of the Plan.  Accordingly, the issuance of a Unit shall not entitle the Participant to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders unless and until a Share is actually issued under Section 8(a) hereof. 
(c)    Adjustments to Award.  
(iii)    In the event that the Company engages in a transaction such that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the shares covered by the Unit award, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, the terms of this Unit award (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this Unit award) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 4(c) of the Plan. 
(iv)    Upon a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the terms of this Unit award (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this Unit award) by taking any of the actions permitted under this Agreement and in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan.
(d)    Responsibility for Taxes.  
(i)    Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Participant further acknowledges that Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends [and/or any dividend equivalents]; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as 

7
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(ii)    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(1)    withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or
(2)    withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
(3)    if authorized by the Committee, withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Units.
(iii)    To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum withholding rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(iv)    Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
(e)    Interpretations. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available upon the Participant’s request. Terms used herein which are defined in the Plan shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Any question of administration or interpretation arising under this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties in interest.
(f)    Nature of Grant.  In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(i)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(ii)    the grant of the Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of units, or benefits in lieu of units, even if units have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(iii)    all decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(iv)    the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship (if any) at any time;

(viii)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(ix)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of any employment law in the country where the Participant resides, even it otherwise applicable to the Participant’s employment benefits from the Employer, and whether or not later found to be invalid), and in consideration of the grant of the Units to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and
(x)    the following provisions apply only to the Participants providing services outside the United States, as determined by the Company:
(A)    the Units and the Shares subject to the Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the

(B)    the Units and the Shares subject to the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary; and
(C)    the Unit grant and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment or service contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(g)    No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
(h)    Data Privacy.  
(i)    The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Unit grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
(ii)    The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Units or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).
(iii)    The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to E*Trade Financial Services, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future or other stock plan service provider that is selected by the Participant to the extent permitted by the Company in its sole discretion, in each case, that is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.  If the Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human

resources representative.  The Participant authorizes the Company, E*Trade Financial Services and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan.  The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan.  If the Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative.  Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If the Participant does not consent or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her status as an employee and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing his or her consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such Awards.  Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
(i)    Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times during the term of the Unit award reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement.

(k)    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by the Participant.
(l)    Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Company and the Participant, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
(m)    Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(n)    Governing Law; Arbitration. The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Texas will govern all questions concerning the validity, construction and effect of this Agreement. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the existence, validity, interpretation or breach hereof and any claim based on contract, tort or statute) shall be resolved by a binding arbitration, to be held in Dallas, Texas pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the then-prevailing National Rules of Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The AAA shall select a sole arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with arbitration and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties involved in the dispute and advanced by them from time to time as required. It is the mutual intention and desire of the parties that the arbitrator be chosen as expeditiously as possible following the submission of the dispute to arbitration. Once such arbitrator is chosen, and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties involved in such dispute or as ordered by the arbitrator upon substantial justification shown, the hearing for the dispute will be held within sixty (60) days of submission of the dispute to arbitration. The arbitrator shall render his or her final award within sixty (60) days, subject to extension by the arbitrator upon substantial justification shown of extraordinary circumstances, following conclusion of the hearing and any required post-hearing briefing or other proceedings ordered by the arbitrator. Any discovery in connection with arbitration hereunder shall be limited to information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will state the factual and legal basis for the award. The decision of the arbitrator in any such proceeding will be final and binding and not subject to judicial review and final judgment may be entered upon such an award in any court of competent jurisdiction, but entry of such judgment will not be required to make such award effective. Any action against any party hereto ancillary to arbitration, including any action for provisional or conservatory measures or action to enforce an arbitration award or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof may be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Texas, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Texas over any such action. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such action. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

12
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without the Participant’s consent, if such action would materially diminish any of the Participant’s rights under this Agreement.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Units and the Shares acquired upon vesting of the Units, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable under the laws of the country in which the Participant resides pertaining to the issuance or sale of Shares or to facilitate the administration of the Plan.
(q)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Appendix, and the Plan and the other agreements referred to herein and therein and any schedules, exhibits and other documents referred to herein and therein constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements, agreements and understandings, both oral and written, whether in term sheets, presentations or otherwise, among the parties hereto, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
(r)    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
(s)    Participant Undertaking. The Participant agrees to take such additional action and execute such additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed either on the Participant or upon this Unit award pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
(t)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
(v)    Language.  If the Participant has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the Unit award and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
(w)    Appendix.  The Unit award shall be subject to any special provisions set forth in the Appendix for the Participant’s country of residence, if any.  If the Participant relocates to one 

13
6574184-v16\GESDMS 

of the countries included in the Appendix during the life of the Unit award, the special provisions for such country shall apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such provisions is necessary or advisable under the laws of the country in which the Participant resides pertaining to the issuance or sale of Shares or to facilitate the administration of the Plan.  The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
(x)    Waiver.  The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other Participant.
(y)    No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor the Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Participant or any other person.
(z)    Section 409A Provisions.  The payment of Shares under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, as amended (“Section 409A”) by reason of the short-term deferral exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4).  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit hereunder that constitutes “deferred compensation” to the Participant under Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to the Participant under the Plan or this Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s Disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise (including, but not limited to, a payment made pursuant to an involuntary separation arrangement that is exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception).  Any payment or distribution that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code on account of separation from service instead shall be made on the earlier of the date that is six months and one day after the date of the specified employee’s separation from service and the specified employee’s death.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Participant have executed this Agreement on the date set forth in the first paragraph.
