Section 1. Amendment. The Credit Agreement is, effective as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (as defined below), hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (which, for clarity, reflects the amendments made pursuant to Amendment No.1 and Amendment No. 2).

Each Schedule to the Credit Agreement is replaced by the Schedules attached as Exhibit C hereto.

It is further agreed that Career Artist Management LLC is released as a Credit Party and released of its obligations under the Credit Documents and any and all security interests granted thereunder by Career Artist Management LLC is hereby terminated and released as of the date hereof, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and instructed to take all actions reasonably requested by Parent Borrower to effectuate such release.

Section 2. Effectiveness.

Section 3. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This

-3-

Amendment constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to this Amendment and all other Credit Documents amended and/or executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as in effect prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

Each such L/C Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at least twothree (23) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars and (B) not later than 12:00 noon (Local Time) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (or, in each case, such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; (D) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (E) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) (A) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any L/C Revolving Lender or any Credit Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.01 (if issued on the Amendment No. 23 Effective Date) or 5.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’’s usual and customary business practices.

(iii) If any Borrower so requests in any L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to

-75-

prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (but in any event not later than 30 days prior to the scheduled expiry date thereof). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the L/C Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Sterling or euros, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in Sterling or Euros, as applicable. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Sterling or Euros, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency unless (x) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (y) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing as of the applicable Revaluation Date under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Sterling or Euros, such L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than (x) 12:00 noon (New York time) on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date that the applicable Borrower receives notice from any L/C Issuer of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, and (y) the Applicable Time on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date the applicable Borrower receives notice from any L/C Issuer of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date of payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in Dollars or in the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided, that such Borrower, and the applicable L/C Issuer may, each in their discretion, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and so long as such arrangements do not adversely affect the rights of any Lender in any material respect, enter into Letter of Credit cash collateral prefunding arrangements acceptable to them for the purpose of reimbursing Letter of Credit draws. If the applicable Borrower does not to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent, at the request of such L/C Issuer, shall promptly notify each L/C Revolving Lender as of the Honor Date the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed drawing (an “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such L/C Revolving Lender’’s L/C Commitment Percentage thereof.

-76-

(ii) Each L/C Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer, in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’’s Office for payments in Dollars in an amount equal to its L/C Commitment Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such Unreimbursed Amount, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at (i) through and including the third Business Day following the Honor Date, the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter, the Default Rate. In such event, each L/C Revolving Lender’’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iii) Until an L/C Revolving Lender funds its L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such L/C Revolving Lender’’s L/C Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(iv) Each L/C Revolving Lender’’s obligation to make L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Revolving Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such L/C Issuer shall have complied with the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(ii). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of each Borrower to reimburse any L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(v) If any L/C Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such L/C Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’’s L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any applicable L/C Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (v) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Revolving Lender such L/C Revolving Lender’’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the

-77-

Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Revolving Lender its L/C Commitment Percentage (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such L/C Revolving Lender’’s L/C Advance was outstanding), in the same currency in which such L/C Revolving Lender’’s L/C Advance was made and in the same type of funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each L/C Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its L/C Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such L/C Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Bank Funding Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the L/C Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.

-78-

The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to such Borrower and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of the L/C Issuers in such Capacity. Each L/C Revolving Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any L/C Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required L/C Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such Borrower’’s use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’’s pursuing such rights and remedies as such Borrower may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower shall have a claim against each L/C Issuer, and each L/C Issuer shall be liable to each Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) or such L/C Issuer’’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and each L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, (i) if any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn the applicable Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 103% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the L/C Expiration Date, as the case may be). The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of cash collateral, request that additional cash collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the L/C Revolving Lenders, as collateral for such L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to customary documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term

-79-

have corresponding meanings. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts or money market fund accounts at the Administrative Agent.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower’’s Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that each Borrower’’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay Letter of Credit Fees as set forth in Section 2.09(b).

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Addition of L/C Issuer. Parent Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as a Dollar L/C Issuer or a Multicurrency L/C Issuer under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Revolving Lender. Any Revolving Lender designated as a Dollar L/C Issuer or Multicurrency L/C Issuer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.03(l) shall have all the rights and obligations of the Dollar L/C Issuer and Multicurrency L/C Issuer, respectively, under the Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references in the Credit Documents to the term “L/C Issuer,” “Dollar L/C Issuer” or “Multicurrency L/C Issuer” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as the L/C Issuer, as the context shall require. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer. If at any time there is more than one L/C Issuer hereunder, Parent Borrower may, in its discretion, select which L/C Issuer is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.


2.04	Additional Provisions with Respect to Swingline Loans.

(a) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower.

(ii) Each Dollar Revolving Lender’’s funding of its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Dollar Revolving Lender’’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Dollar Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Dollar Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b) by the time specified in Section 2.04(b)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Dollar Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing.

A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Dollar Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Dollar Revolving Lender’’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Dollar Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that Swingline Lender has complied with the provisions of Section 2.04(a). No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(i) At any time after any Dollar Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline

-81-

Lender will distribute to such Dollar Revolving Lender its Dollar Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Dollar Revolving Lender’’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Dollar Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

-85-

Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the L/C Sublimit. If the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer notifies the Parent Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency L/C Sublimit then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency L/C Sublimit.

Any such prepayment from any Net Cash Proceeds required by the previous sentence shall be made (x) in the case of a Major Disposition in respect of which the notice referred to in Section 7.02(g) has not been delivered on or before the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Major Disposition or to the extent such notice does not indicate reinvestment is intended with the Net Cash Proceeds of such Major Disposition, on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) Business Day following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) in any other case, promptly after the Parent Borrower determines that it will not reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the terms and limitations of the previous sentence, but in no event later than 366 days (or 546 days if a contractual commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds has been made within the initial 366-day period) following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(v) Eurodollar Prepayment Account. If the Parent Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 2.06(b), so long as no Event of Default exists, the Parent Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Applicable Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Applicable Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Applicable Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans at the earliest of (x) the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto, (y) three months following the date of such deposit and (z) at the election of the Applicable Agent, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. At the request of the Parent Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Applicable Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing on or prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Parent Borrower and the Parent Borrower will deposit with the Applicable Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.

-87-

but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions reasonably required by theavailable under applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that, in each case, would otherwise be required to be used to make a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii) or 2.06(b)(iv), is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxesTaxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Loan Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06 and (ii) to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Foreign Subsidiary Consolidated Excess Cash Flow would have material adverse taxTax cost consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or any such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Parent Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Parent Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxesTaxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary).

The Canadian Agent will, at the request of such Canadian Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in short-term, cash equivalent investments selected by the Canadian Agent in consultation with such Canadian Borrower that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Contract Periods of the B/As to be prepaid; provided that the Canadian Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Canadian Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that the amount available to prepay amounts due in respect of B/As on the last day of the applicable Contract Period is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the account of such Canadian Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of B/As in accordance with this Section 2.06 and Article IX), the Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans and all amounts due hereunder has been accelerated pursuant to Article IX, the Canadian Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations in respect of the Loans, Unreimbursed Amounts and B/As (and each Borrower hereby grants to the Canadian Agent a security interest in its Prepayment Account to secure such Obligations).

Any reduction of any Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each applicable Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All commitment or other fees accrued with respect to any Commitment through the effective date of any termination thereof shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. A notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

2.10	Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars when the Base Rate is determined by JPMCB’’s prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one (1) day.

All other payments herein shall be payable in the currency specified with respect to such payment or, if the currency is not specified, in Dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Applicable Agent’’s Office in Same Day Funds not later than 3:00 p.m. Local Time on the date specified herein. The Applicable Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Applicable Agent after 3:00 p.m. Local Time shall be deemed received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Applicable Agent. Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing or acceptance and purchase of B/As that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’’s share of such Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees), the Applicable Agent may assume that such

-92-

Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Applicable Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Applicable Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’’s Loan included in such Borrowing or such Lender’’s acceptance and purchase of B/As. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by Applicable Agent. Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, receiving any such payment severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Applicable Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Applicable Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Applicable Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Applicable Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligation of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to accept and purchase B/As, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

-93-

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

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


2.12	Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

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 the Loans made by it, amounts owing to it in respect of any B/A Drawing or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans, amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Applicable Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, amounts owing in respect of any B/A Drawing and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, amounts owing to it in respect of any B/A Drawing or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply) or (z) any payments made pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Credit Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.


2.13	Evidence of Debt.

-94-

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. Each other Agent shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with all information needed to maintain such accounts in respect of the Loans or B/A Drawings administered by such Agent. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note for such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of such Participants (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and the rights, interest or obligation of such Participants in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payments hereunder.


2.14	CAM Exchange.[Reserved].

(a) On the Revolving CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated in accordance with Section 9.02; (ii) each Dollar Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b); (iii) each L/C Revolving Lender shall fund its L/C Advance in any outstanding L/C Borrowings; and (iv) the Revolving Lenders shall purchase at par (and in the currencies in which such Designated Revolving Obligations are denominated) interests in the Designated Revolving Obligations under each Revolving Facility (and shall make payments to the Applicable Agent for reallocation to other Revolving Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchase) and shall assume obligations to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for L/C Borrowings such that, after giving effect to such payments, each Revolving Lender shall own an interest equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving CAM Percentage in the Designated Revolving Obligations under each Revolving Facility and shall have the obligation to reimburse each L/C Issuer for its Revolving CAM Percentage of each L/C Borrowing. It is understood and agreed that Revolving Lenders holding interests in B/As on the Revolving CAM Exchange Date shall discharge the obligations to fund such B/As at maturity in exchange for the interests acquired by such Revolving Lenders in funded Revolving Loans in the Revolving CAM Exchange. Each Revolving Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Revolving Lender as contemplated by Section 11.06 hereby consents and agrees to the

-95-

Revolving CAM Exchange. Each of the Revolving Lenders agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to the Revolving CAM Exchange, and each Revolving Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Revolving Loans under this Credit Agreement to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Revolving Lender to deliver or accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the Revolving CAM Exchange.

(b) As a result of the Revolving CAM Exchange, from and after the Revolving CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Applicable Agent pursuant to any Credit Document in respect of the Designated Revolving Obligations shall be distributed to the Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving CAM Percentages.

(c) In the event that on or after the Revolving CAM Exchange, an L/C Borrowing is made under any Letter of Credit that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, each Revolving Lender shall provide its L/C Advance to such L/C Issuer for its Revolving CAM Percentage of such L/C Borrowing.

(d) This Section 2.14 shall only apply if there are Foreign Credit Parties on the Revolving CAM Exchange Date.


2.15	Canadian Bankers’’ Acceptances.

(a) Each acceptance and purchase of B/As of a single Contract Period pursuant to SectionsSection 2.01 or 2.02 shall be made ratably by the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Multicurrency Revolving Commitment Percentage. The failure of any Multicurrency Revolving Lender to accept any B/A required to be accepted by it shall not relieve any other Multicurrency Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments are several and no Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be responsible for any other Multicurrency Revolving Lender’’s failure to accept B/As as required.

(b) The B/As of a single Contract Period accepted and purchased on any date shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of C$1.0 million and not less than C$5.0 million. The face amount of each B/A shall be C$100,000 or any whole multiple thereof. If any Multicurrency Revolving Lender’’s ratable share of the B/As of any Contract Period to be accepted on any date would not be an integral multiple of C$100,000, the face amount of the B/As accepted by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender may be increased or reduced to the nearest integral multiple of C$100,000 by the Canadian Agent in its sole discretion. B/As of more than one Contract Period may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) B/A Drawings outstanding.

(c) To request an acceptance and purchase of B/As, a Canadian Borrower shall notify the Canadian Agent of such request by telephone or by telecopy not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of such acceptance and purchase. Each such Loan Notice shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Canadian Agent of a written request in a form approved by the Canadian Agent and signed by such Canadian Borrower. Each such Loan Notice shall specify the following information:

(i) the aggregate face amount of the B/As to be accepted and purchased;

-96-

(ii) the date of such acceptance and purchase, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract Period” (and which shall in no event end after the Revolving Termination Date); and

(iv) the location and number of the applicable Canadian Borrower’’s account to which any funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested acceptance and purchase of B/As, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days’’ duration.

Promptly following receipt of a Loan Notice in accordance with this paragraph, the Canadian Agent shall advise each Multicurrency Revolving Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of B/As to be accepted and purchased by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender.

(d) Each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints each Multicurrency Revolving Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, as and when deemed necessary by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender, blank forms of B/As. It shall be the responsibility of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Credit Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by any Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall bind such Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if manually signed and duly issued by authorized officers of such Canadian Borrower. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender; provided that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the aggregate face amount of B/As required to be accepted by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender. No Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument unless such loss or improper use results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received by it from the Canadian Agent in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and for the periods provided in applicable provincial or Federal statutes and regulations of Canada and to provide such records to each Canadian Borrower upon its request and at its expense. Upon request by any Canadian Borrower, a Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A that have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of such Canadian Borrower and that are held by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender and are not required to be issued pursuant to this Credit Agreement.

(e) Drafts of each Canadian Borrower to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or such Canadian Borrower at the date of issuance of such B/A, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on such Canadian Borrower.

(f) Upon acceptance of a B/A by a Multicurrency Revolving Lender, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the applicable Canadian Borrower at the Discount Rate for such Multicurrency Revolving Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Canadian Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of such Canadian Borrower as provided in Section 2.02. The acceptance fee payable by the applicable Canadian Borrower to a Multicurrency Revolving Lender under Section

-97-

2.09 in respect of each B/A accepted by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be set off against the Discount Proceeds payable by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any B/A Drawing resulting from the conversion or continuation of a B/A Drawing or Multicurrency Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.02, the net amount that would otherwise be payable to such Canadian Borrower by each Lender pursuant to this paragraph will be applied as provided in Section 2.02(f).

(g) Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/A’’s accepted and purchased by it.

(h) Each B/A accepted and purchased hereunder shall mature at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto.

(i) Each Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Multicurrency Revolving Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Credit Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender in its own right and each Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Multicurrency Revolving Lender as holder sues each Canadian Borrower on the B/A for payment of the amounts payable by such Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this Credit Agreement, each Canadian Borrower shall pay the Multicurrency Revolving Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount of such B/A, and after such payment such Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.

(j) At the option of each Canadian Borrower and any Multicurrency Revolving Lender, B/As under this Credit Agreement to be accepted by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.15.

(k) If a Multicurrency Revolving Lender is not a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) or if a Multicurrency Revolving Lender notifies the Canadian Agent in writing that it is otherwise unable to accept B/As, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender will, instead of accepting and purchasing B/As, make a Loan (a “B/A Equivalent Loan”) to the applicable Canadian Borrower in the amount and for the same term as the draft which such Multicurrency Revolving Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Multicurrency Revolving Lender will provide to the Canadian Agent the Discount Proceeds of such B/A Equivalent Loan for the account of the applicable Canadian Borrower in the same manner as such Multicurrency Revolving Lender would have provided the Discount Proceeds in respect of the draft which such Multicurrency Revolving Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such B/A Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate which would result if such Multicurrency Revolving Lender had accepted (and been paid an acceptance fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such B/A Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders and the applicable Canadian Borrower as the B/A which such B/A Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such B/A Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such B/A Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the Discount Proceeds of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Credit Agreement, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such B/A Equivalent Loan, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another type of Multicurrency

-98-

Revolving Loan, or to roll over each such B/A Equivalent Loan into another B/A Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement.


2.16	Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder (as determined by the Administrative Agent or, in the case of clause (d) below, any applicable L/C Issuer), then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Defaulting Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Administrative Agent (or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be) shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender for purposes of this Credit Agreement;

(b) fees under Section 2.09(a) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender (except to the extent reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(e));

(c) the Commitments and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Dollar Revolving Lenders, Required L/C Lenders, Required Limited Currency Revolving Lenders, Required Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, Required Term A-12 Lenders or Required Term B-12 Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01);

(d) if any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time the notice described in clause (a) above is provided, the Parent Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (i) prepay such Swingline Loan and (ii) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii)(F) and on terms similar to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(g) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding; provided that (A) to the extent the sum of the total Dollar Revolving Obligations (other than any Dollar Revolving Obligations constituting outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Lender but including each Defaulting Lender’’s Dollar Facility L/C Obligations and Swingline Exposure) does not exceed the sum of the total Dollar Revolving Commitments (excluding the Dollar Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent of any outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender), the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Dollar Revolving Lenders, elect to reallocate the Swingline Exposure among all non-Defaulting Lenders under the Dollar Revolving Facility by disregarding the Dollar Revolving Commitments of all Defaulting Lenders (except to the extent of any outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lenders) for purposes of calculating each non-Defaulting Lender’’s Dollar Revolving Commitment Percentage, and to the extent the Administrative Agent elects to require such reallocation in accordance with the foregoing, no such Swingline Loan shall be required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) to the extent of such reallocation and (B) to the extent the sum of the total Dollar Revolving Obligations (other than any Dollar Revolving Obligations constituting outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Lender but including each Defaulting Lender’’s Dollar Facility L/C Obligations and Swingline Exposure) plus the total Limited Currency Revolving Obligations (other than any Limited Currency Revolving Obligations constituting outstanding Limited Currency Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Lender but including each Defaulting Lender’’s Limited Currency Facility L/C Obligations) does not exceed the sum of the total Dollar Revolving Commitments (excluding the Dollar Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent of any outstanding Dollar

-99-

Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) plus the total Limited Currency Revolving Commitments (excluding the Limited Currency Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent of any outstanding Limited Currency Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender), the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Dollar Revolving Lenders and the Limited Currency Revolving Lenders, elect to reallocate the L/C Obligations among all non-Defaulting Lenders under the Dollar Revolving Facility and Limited Currency Revolving Facility by disregarding the Dollar Revolving Commitments and Limited Currency Revolving Commitments of all Defaulting Lenders (except to the extent of any outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lenders) for purposes of calculating each non-Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Commitment Percentage, and to the extent the Administrative Agent elects to require such reallocation in accordance with the foregoing, no such L/C Obligations shall be required to be cash collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) to the extent of such reallocation; provided that the reallocation pursuant to the foregoing shall not be permitted to the extent it would cause (x) any Dollar Revolving Lender’’s Dollar Revolving Obligations to exceed its Dollar Revolving Committed Amount or (y) any Limited Currency Revolving Lender’’s Limited Currency Revolving Obligations to exceed its Limited Currency Revolving Committed Amount;

(e) to the extent:

(i) the Parent Borrower cash collateralizes any Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.16(d), the Parent Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized (but shall be reallocated pursuant to clause (ii) below);

(ii) the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to each applicable proviso to Section 2.16(d) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect such reallocation; or

(iii) the Parent Borrower fails to cash collateralize any Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.16(d) above and the L/C Obligations are not reallocated pursuant to either proviso, as applicable, to Section 2.16(d) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder, then all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to each applicable L/C Issuer until such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized or reallocated pursuant to Section 2.16(d);

(f) for purposes of determining:

(i) the amount of the total Commitments for purposes of SectionSections 2.01, 2.03(b) and 2.04(a), the Commitment of each Defaulting Lender shall be excluded therefrom (other than any portion of such Commitment pursuant to which there is then outstanding a Loan from such Defaulting Lender); and

(ii) the applicable L/C Obligations of any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit that is issued, increased (to the extent of the increase only) or renewed (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not with respect to any other applicable L/C Obligations relating to any other Letter of Credit) during the period in which there is a Defaulting Lender or the Swingline Exposure of any Lender with respect to any Swingline Loan made during the period in which there

-100-

is a Defaulting Lender, the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be zero; and

(g) in the Administrative Agent’’s sole discretion:

(i) any prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender; and

(ii) subject to Section 2.16(e)(iii), any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 3.06(b)) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, applicable L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement and (iii) third, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, each applicable L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender that such Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender and, from and after the date of such notification, the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Dollar Facility Percentage and Limited Currency Facility Percentage.

2.17 Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (the Loans of such applicable Class, the “Existing Term Loans”) be converted into a new Class of Term Loans (the Loans of such applicable Class, the “Extended Term Loans”) with terms consistent with this Section 2.17. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be substantially identical to those applicable to the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted, as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith and such determination shall be conclusive evidence that such terms are substantially identical to such Existing Term Loans (unless a Lender shall have objected thereto in writing within 5 Business Days and has set forth such Lender’’s objections with specificity), except that:

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Term Loans shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Term Loans;

-101-

(ii) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans shall be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Existing Term Loans such that the amortization payments of principal with respect to such Extended Term Loans for the period prior to the maturity date of the Existing Term Loans is no greater than the amounts due immediately prior to such extension;

(iii) (A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Existing Term Loans and (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A);

(iv) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Extending Lenders so long as such Extended Term Loans do not participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any such mandatory prepayments as compared to then-existing Term Loan Lenders;

(v) the Credit Parties may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Lenders that apply only after the Final Maturity Date of the Existing Term Loans (before giving effect to the Extended Term Loans); and

(vi) no existing Lender shall be required to provide, consent to or convert into any Extended Term Loans and no Loans of such Lenders will be converted without such party’’s affirmative consent thereto.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Existing Revolving Commitments”) be converted into a new Class of Revolving Commitments (the Commitments of such applicable Class, the “Extended Revolving Commitments”) with terms consistent with this Section 2.17. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be substantially identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments, as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith and such determination shall be conclusive evidence that such terms are substantially identical to such Existing Revolving Commitment (unless a Lender shall have objected thereto in writing within 5 Business Days and has set forth such Lender’’s objections with specificity), except that:

(i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Existing Revolving Commitments;

(ii) (A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Extending Lenders in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and/or (C) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Commitments;

-102-

(iii) the Credit Parties may be subject to covenants and other terms for the benefit of the Extending Lenders that apply only after the Final Maturity Date of the Existing Revolving Commitments (before giving effect to the Extended Revolving Commitments); and

(iv) no existing Lender shall be required to provide any Extended Revolving Commitments and no Existing Revolving Commitments will become Extended Revolving Commitments without such party’’s affirmative consent thereto.

(c) Each Extension Request shall specify the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the conversion of an Existing Class into an Extended Class shall be effective, which shall be a date reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender of an Existing Class that is requested to be extended shall be offered the opportunity to convert its Existing Class into the Extended Class on the same basis as each other Lender of such Existing Class. Any Lender (to the extent applicable, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into an Extended Class shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Class subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into an Extended Class. In the event that the aggregate portion of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the Extended Class requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the portion of the Existing Class converted shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the Existing Class included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically with all Existing Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.01(c) and Letters of Credit under Section 2.03, except that the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide that the maturity date for Swingline Loans and/or the Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender (other than the Extending Lenders) shall be required in connection with any such extension). In no event may the Swingline Sublimit or the L/C Sublimit be increased without the consent of the Swingline Lender or each L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

(d) An Extended Class shall be established pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Lenders (and the other Persons specified in the definition of Additional Credit Extension Amendment but no other existing Lender). No Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of (x) Extended Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $10.0 million or (y) Extended Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5.0 million. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.17(a), the Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Existing Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled principal repayment amounts for the Existing Term Loans in the same proportion as the amount of Existing Term Loans to be converted pursuant to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, on the Extension Effective Date, (i) the principal amount of each Existing Term Loan shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the principal amount converted into an Extended Term Loan, (ii) the amount of each Existing Revolving Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the amount converted into an Extended Revolving Commitment and (iii) if, on any Extension Effective Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed

-103-

to be converted into Loans (and related participations) made pursuant to the Extended Revolving Commitments in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’’s Existing Revolving Commitments are converted to Extended Revolving Commitments.

(f) This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 11.01 to the contrary. Each Extended Class shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Extending Lenders providing such Extended Class (and the other persons specified in the definition of Additional Credit Extension Amendment but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17.

2.18 Refinancing Term Loans.

(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of term loans under this Credit Agreement or an increase to an existing Class of term loans under this Credit Agreement (in each case, “Refinancing Term Loans”) or one or more series of debt securities or term loans (“Refinancing Notes/Loans”; and together with Refinancing Term Loans, the “Refinancing Debt”); provided that:

(i) the proceeds of such Refinancing Debt shall be used, concurrently or substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, solely to refinance all or any portion of any outstanding Term Loans;

(ii) each Class of Refinancing Term Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million or any whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or such other amount necessary to repay any Class of outstanding Term Loans in full);

(iii) such Refinancing Debt shall be in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be refinanced plus any accrued interest, fees, costs, premiums and expenses related thereto (including any original issue discount or upfront fees);

(iv) the final maturity date of such Refinancing Debt shall be later than the maturity date of the Term Loans being refinanced, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Debt shall be longer than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of each Class of Term Loans being refinanced;

(v) (A) the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees and optional and mandatory prepayment or redemption provisions (including premiums, if any) applicable to such Refinancing Debt shall be as agreed between the Parent Borrower and the providers of such Refinancing Debt so long as, in the case of any mandatory prepayment or redemption provisions, the providers of such Refinancing Debt do not participate on a greater than pro rata basis in any such prepayments as compared to Term Loan Lenders being refinanced and (B) the covenants and other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (excluding those terms described in the immediately preceding clause (A)), which shall be as agreed between the Parent Borrower and the lenders providing such Refinancing Debt, shall not be materially more favorablerestrictive (when taken as a whole) to the providers of Refinancing DebtParent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those applicable to any Class of Term Loans then outstanding

-104-

under this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Final Maturity Date applicable under this Credit Agreement (beforeafter giving effect to thesuch Refinancing Debt) or such covenants or other terms apply equally for the benefit of the other Lenders; provided that it is understood and agreed that Refinancing Debt may be guaranteed by Subsidiaries that are Domestic Credit Parties (but not other Subsidiaries); provided, further, that to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of such Refinancing Debt that applies prior to the Final Maturity Date hereunder, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of all Lenders (after giving effect to such Refinancing Debt);

(vi) no existing Lender shall be required to provide any Refinancing Debt; and

(vii) (A) the Refinancing Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the existing Term B-12 Loans and (B) the Refinancing Notes/Loans may be (x) secured by Collateral on a pari passu basis with the existing Term B-12 Loans, (y) secured by Collateral on a junior lien basis to the existing Term B-12 Loans or (z) unsecured; provided, further, that in the case of clause (x) or clause (y), the holders of such Refinancing Notes/Loans or their representative is or becomes party to a customary intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower and all such Liens are subject to such intercreditor agreement.

(b) Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Parent Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Debt be made, which shall be a date reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, the identity of the Persons (each of which shall be a Person that would be an Eligible Assignee (for this purpose treating a Lender of Refinancing Term Loans as if it were an assignee)) whom the Parent Borrower proposes would provide the Refinancing Term Loans and the portion of the Refinancing Term Loans to be provided by each such Person. On each Refinancing Effective Date, each Person with a commitment for a Refinancing Term Loan or Refinancing Notes/Loans shall make a Refinancing Term Loan to the Parent Borrower, and/or purchase Refinancing Notes/Loans from the Parent Borrower, in a principal amount equal to such Person’’s commitment therefor.

(c) This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 11.01 to the contrary (but shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the second paragraph of Section 11.01). The Refinancing Term Loans shall be documented by an Additional Credit Extension Amendment executed by the Persons providing the Refinancing Term Loans (and the other Persons specified in the definition of Additional Credit Extension Amendment but no other existing Lender), and the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for such amendments to this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18. The Refinancing Notes/Loans shall be established pursuant to documentation which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a).

2.19 Replacement Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), request the establishment of one or more additional Classes of Revolving Commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments”) to replace all or a portion of any existing Classes of Revolving Commitments under this Credit Agreement (“Replaced Revolving Commitments”); provided that:

-105-

(i) substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of the Replacement Revolving Commitments, all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such effectiveness shall be terminated, and all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, than any Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Replaced Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to have been issued under the Replacement Revolving Commitments if the amount of such Letters of Credit would exceed the remaining amount of commitments under the Replaced Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the reduction contemplated hereby);

(ii) such Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount not greater than the aggregate amount of Replaced Revolving Commitments to be replaced plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any upfront fees);

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY


3.01	Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Except as otherwise required by Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent), any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Applicable Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the applicable Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Applicable Borrower. Without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 3.01(a), the applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Applicable Agent and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable by the Applicable Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect

-107-

thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, together with any reasonable supporting documentation, delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Upon the reasonable request of any Credit Party, the Lenders, and the Applicable Agent agree to use their reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Credit Party (at such Credit Party’’s direction and expense) in contesting the imposition of, or claiming a refund of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party, whether directly to a Governmental Authority or pursuant to this Section 3.01, that such Credit Party reasonably believes were not correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority unless such Lender or the Applicable Agent, as the case may be, determines in good faith that pursuing such a contest or refund would be materially disadvantageous to it.

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

(e) Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Applicable Agent, provide such Borrower and the Applicable Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law, or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Applicable Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Credit Documents. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to such Borrower and the Applicable Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent) or promptly notify such Borrower and the Applicable Agent of its legal ineligibility to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent has received forms or other documentation satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Credit Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a reduced rate pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payment at the maximum applicable withholding rate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is not a Foreign Borrower:

(i) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding,

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

-108-

(A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party.

(B) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit 3.01(e)-1, -2, -3, or -4 (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, and that no payments in connection with the Credit Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Lender that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the applicable withholding agentWithholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made on any payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or

(F) the Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver, to the Parent Borrower, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, assignment or succession, if applicable), either (i) (A) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (B) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch”) for the amounts the Administrative Agent receives for the account of others, or (ii) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-9, whichever is applicable, and in each case of (i) and (ii), with the effect that the Parent Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent

-109-

Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause 3.01(e)(iii), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Applicable Agent or any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the applicable Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed with respect to the refund) of such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable Credit Party, upon the request of the Applicable Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Applicable Agent or such Lender in the event the Applicable Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Applicable Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxesTaxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position that such Lender or would have been in if the Indemnified Tax or other Tax giving rise to such refund had never been imposed.

(g) Payments made by the Applicable Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made by the Applicable Agent to any Lender shall be treated as payments made by the applicable Credit Party.

(h) Lender treated as Partnership. If any Lender is treated as a partnership for purposes of an applicable Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, any withholding made by such Lender in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to Section 3.01(a) shall be treated as if such withholding had been made by the applicable Borrower or the Applicable Agent, and in such case, the definition of Excluded Taxes shall be applied by reference to each partner of such Lender.[Reserved].

(i) Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, and “Law” includes FATCA.

(a) Treatment of Advances. From and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, solely for purposes of FATCA, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to treat, this Credit Agreement and all advances hereunder (including advances already outstanding) as no longer qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).


3.02	Illegality.

-110-

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Parent Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.


3.03	Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.


3.04	Increased Cost; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Lender or L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Credit Document, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of Taxationtaxation of payments to such Lender or L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except, in each case, for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 3.01 and any, any Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or L/C Issuer or the London or Canadian interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans or B/A Drawings made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

-111-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, any Loan) or obtaining funds for the purchase of B/As, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or accept and purchase B/As, or to increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then from time to time the Parent Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Parent Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’’s or L/C Issuer’’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).


3.05	Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Parent Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, pursuant to Section 2.01(g)(v), by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

-112-

(b) the payment of any principal in respect of a B/A other than on the last day of a Contract Period for such B/A (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, pursuant to Section 2.01(g)(v), by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(c) any failure by the Parent Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Parent Borrower; or

(d) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or the right to receive payment in respect of a B/A on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period, as the case may be, therefor as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

including any reasonable loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall demand, and the Borrower shall not be obligated to make, any funding loss payments pursuant to this Section 3.05 with respect to the payment of accrued interest on the Amendment No. 23 Effective Date with respect to the Converted Term B-1 Loans.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Parent Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.


3.06	Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Parent Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Parent Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

(c) Limitation on Additional Amounts, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article III of this Credit Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Parent Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under this Article within nine (9) months after the latest of (i) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, (ii) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs,

-113-

loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (iii) where the increased costs, loss, expense, liability, etc. relates to a third party claim (e.g., a taxTax claim), the date on which the Lender has actual knowledge of such claim, then such Lender shall not be entitled to be compensated for such amounts by the applicableParent Borrower Party pursuant to this Article III to the extent any portion of such amounts are directly attributable (e.g., late penalties payable on a third party claim) to such Lender’’s failure to provide notice within the required period.


3.07	Survival Losses.

All of the Parent Borrower’’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, resignation of the Applicable Agent and any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender or L/C Issuer.


3.08	Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank, the European System of Central Banks or the Bank of Canada, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves) in respect of any of such Lender’’s Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall be entitled to require the Parent Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined in reasonable detail by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Parent Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

The Domestic Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Domestic Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by

-114-

acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Credit Documents, Swap Contracts or other documents relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations, the obligations of each Domestic Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.


4.02	Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Domestic Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Domestic Guarantor agrees that such Domestic Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrowers or any other Domestic Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated.

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Domestic Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, or other documents relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any of the holders of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations as security for any of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

-115-

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of extensions of credit that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers and supplements to the Credit Documents and other documents relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents or any other documents relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.


4.03	Reinstatement.

Neither the Domestic Guarantors’’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower, by reason of such Borrower’’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Domestic Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of Domestic Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of Domestic Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.


4.04	Certain Waivers.

Each Domestic Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against any Borrower hereunder or against any collateral securing the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against any Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement of any other right and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against the Borrowers hereunder, under the other Credit Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if neither the applicable Borrower nor the Domestic Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Domestic Guarantors’’ obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, it being the purpose and intent that the Domestic Guarantors’’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances.

Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Domestic Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.


4.07	Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.

4.08	Keepwell.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Parent Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and each Collateral Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Credit Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any Collateral Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the Collateral Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Collateral Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Collateral and the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Collateral or the Collateral Documents as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in such Credit Documents included the Collateral Agent with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein or in the Collateral Documents with respect to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any L/C 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 “Agent” as used in this Article X included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(d) In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Credit Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by a Credit Party of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk.


10.02	Rights as a Lender.

Each Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such 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 Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b) 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 Credit Documents that the Agents are 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 Credit Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent

-157-

No Agent shall 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each 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, the acceptance and purchase of any B/A or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan, the acceptance and purchase of such B/A or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.06	Resignation of an Agent.

-158-

Each of the Agents may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower (provided that no consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which (i) in the case of a resignation by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, 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, (ii) in the case of a resignation by the Canadian Agent, shall be a bank with an office in Canada, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Canada or (iii) in the case of a resignation by the London Agent, shall be a bank with an office in London, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in London. 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, with the consent of the Parent Borrower (provided that no consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if such Agent shall notify the Parent 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 (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Credit Documents, such retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.

The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as such Agent.

Any resignation by JPMCB as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Dollar L/C Issuer, Multicurrency L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuers and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuers and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuers shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuers to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuers with respect to such Letters of Credit.


10.07	Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,

continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.


10.08	No Other Duties.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Co-Syndication Agents,” “Documentation Agent,” “Joint Lead Arrangers” and “Joint Bookrunners” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.


10.09	Agents May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, any Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, B/A Drawing or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Applicable Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Applicable Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.


10.10	Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

10.11	Withholding Tax.

To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Applicable Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Credit Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Applicable Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Applicable Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents (to the extent that the Applicable Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Applicable Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Applicable Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Applicable Agent under this Section 10.11. The agreements in this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Applicable Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Credit Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.11, the term “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender.


10.12	Treasury Management Agreements and Swap Contracts.

-161-

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Document, no Treasury Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the guarantees hereunder or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, no Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Management Agreements and Swap Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.


10.13	Credit Bidding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.01 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall

-162-

automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, 11.06, each Participant (i) shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections including the requirements under Section 3.01(fe) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(fe) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.06 and (ii) shall be subject to Sections 3.06 and 11.13(a) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. 11.06.

(e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’’s prior written consent to such sale, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed, without limitation, that it will be reasonable for the Parent Borrower to withhold consent if giving consent would result in increased indemnification obligations at the time the participation takes effect or would be reasonably certain to result in increased indemnification obligations thereafter as a result of a Change in Law announced prior to the time the participation takes effect). For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant entitled to benefits under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 shall be subject to all of the limitations and requirements of such Sections as if it were a Lender (including, in the case of Section 3.01, all of the limitations in the definition of Excluded Taxes).

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

(h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Credit Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Applicable Agent as is required under Section 2.11(b)(i). Each party hereto hereby agrees that no

-175-

SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Credit Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. Each SPC (i) shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Granting Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b) and (ii) shall be subject to Sections 3.06 and 11.13(a) to the same extent as if it were a Granting Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b). A SPC shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest granted to such SPC unless the grant of the interest is made with the Parent Borrower’’s prior written consent to such grant, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed, without limitation, that it will be reasonable for the Parent Borrower to withhold consent if giving consent would result in increased indemnification obligations at the time the grant to the SPC takes effect or would be reasonably certain to result in increased indemnification obligations thereafter as a result of a Change in Law announced prior to the time the grant to the SPC takes effect). For the avoidance of doubt, an SPC entitled to benefits under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 shall be subject to all of the limitations and requirements of such Sections as if it were a Granting Lender (including, in the case of Section 3.01, all of the limitations in the definition of Excluded Taxes).

(i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender After Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’’ notice to the Parent Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If any Swingline Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,

-176-

outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(ii) upon the effectiveness of any such assignment, such Term B-12 Loans shall be retired, and shall be deemed cancelled and not outstanding for all purposes under this Credit Agreement;

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or be continuing or would result therefrom;

(iv) the Parent Borrower must represent and warrant, at the time of the offer and at the time of the assignment, either (x) it does not possess material non-public information with respect to Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term B-12 Lenders generally (other than Term B-12 Lenders who elect not to receive such information) or (y) make a statement that such representation cannot be made; and

(v) such purchases shall not be financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.

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 of the Agents, Lenders and L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including federal and state securities Laws.


11.08	Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Parent Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of such Parent Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


11.09	Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid

-178-

principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


11.10	Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.


11.11	Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.


11.12	Severability.

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

-179-

provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


11.13	Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Parent Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Parent Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, amounts owing to it in respect of B/As, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

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

(v) such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document as contemplated by Section 11.01, the consent of the Required Lenders (or Required Limited Currency Revolving Lenders, Required Dollar Revolving Lenders, Required Term A-12 Lenders or Required Term B-12 Lenders, as the case may be) is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (b) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’’s request, any Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that consents to such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’’s request, sell and assign to such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments and Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans and L/C Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of sale and payment by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee under Section 11.06(b); provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and

-180-

fees with respect thereto and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid.

A Lender that has assigned its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

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