(a) On and after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans to the Borrower, provided that (i) in no event may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations of any Lender

exceed its Commitment, and (ii) in no event may the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Commitment.

(b) On and after the Closing Date and prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein set forth, to participate in Facility Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.19 for the account of the Borrower, provided that (i) in no event may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and Facility Letter of Credit Obligations of any Lender exceed its Commitment and (ii) in no event may the aggregate amount of all Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment minus the sum of all outstanding Loans.

(c) Loans hereunder shall be made ratably by the several Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Participations in Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall be ratable among the several Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d) All Obligations shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date unless such Obligations shall sooner become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(e) Each Borrowing which shall not utilize the Aggregate Commitment in full shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of ABR Loans. Each Borrowing shall consist of a Loan made by each Lender in the proportion of its Pro Rata Share. Within the limits of the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower may borrow, repay pursuant to Section 2.10, and reborrow Loans under this Section 2.01. On such terms and conditions, the Loans may be outstanding as ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Each type of Loan shall be made and maintained at the applicable Lender’s Lending Office for such type of Loan. The failure of any Lender to make any requested Loan to be made by it on the date specified for such Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make such Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such Loan to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.01.2 Facility Availability.

(a) On and after the date that the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 have been satisfied or waived by the Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower may borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to the Aggregate Commitments (reduced by the amount of all then outstanding Facility Letter of Credit Obligations), provided, however, that the Borrower shall satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 prior to the making of each Borrowing.

(b) So long as no other Debt is secured by a Lien on such Collateral, or any such Lien is being released substantially simultaneously with the release by the Agent, the Borrower may provide (i) an Authorized Agent’s Letter to the Agent with respect to a request for an Ordinary Course Release, or (ii) an Officer’s Certificate to the Agent with respect to a request for the release of the Agent’s Liens on any Mortgaged Properties or any portions thereof in order to effect the sale

or other disposition of such Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof (A) where such Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof are owned by a Subsidiary being sold, or whose assets are being sold, in a transaction otherwise permitted by this Agreement, (B) where such Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof where any structure is, or becomes, classified as being located in a Flood Zone so long as the Borrower maintains compliance with Section 7.01 after giving pro forma effect to the release of such Mortgaged Property from the Collateral; provided, however, that the Borrower request such release within 45 days of receipt of notification from the Agent that any portion of the structure(s) located on such Mortgaged Property has been reclassified as being located in a Flood Zone or (C) where such Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof are, or are becoming, Excluded Property. The Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate (as applicable) and related documentation delivered to the Agent under this Section 2.01.2(b) shall be sent to the Agent via electronic mail to william.o’daly@credit-suisse.com and sanja.gazahi@credit-suisse.com or such other employees of the Agent as may hereafter be designated by the Agent in writing to the Borrower. If the Agent receives such Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate (as applicable) and a copy of the applicable instrument or instruments of such sale or other disposition, where applicable, then the Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, or shorter time period as may be agreed by the Agent, of its receipt of the Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate (as applicable), execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such release instruments (so long as such release instruments are in the respective forms approved by the Agent or otherwise are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) in connection with the Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate (as applicable) to effectuate the release of its Liens on such Mortgaged Property (or the portions thereof, including any related personal property), provided that (A) with respect to Ordinary Course Releases, no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and (B) with respect to Other Releases, the Release Conditions have been satisfied as evidenced by the Officer’s Certificate delivered in connection therewith; provided further, however, that such release shall not be recorded until the occurrence of the applicable event permitted by the Credit Agreement to which such Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate (as applicable) and release documentation relates. Such executed release documents shall be delivered by the Agent in accordance with the delivery instructions provided with the applicable Authorized Agent’s Letter or Officer’s Certificate. Upon the recording of the release of the Agent’s Liens on any Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof, such Mortgaged Properties or portions shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Housing Collateral Ratio and Aggregate Collateral Ratio, as the case may be, as reflected in the next Financial Covenant Certificate to be delivered by the Borrower. The Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Agent and the Lenders that as of the effective date of each release of Mortgaged Property or portion thereof, after giving effect to such release and all other releases of Mortgaged Properties or portions thereof since the date of the most recent Financial Covenant Certificate, the Housing Collateral Ratio and Aggregate Collateral Ratio satisfy the requirements of Section 7.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the book value of any Mortgaged Property requested to be released under this Section 2.01.2(b) plus the aggregate book value of all Mortgaged Properties previously released by the Agent under this Section 2.01.2(b) during any period between delivery of the Financial Covenant Certificate then in effect and the next Financial Covenant Certificate scheduled to be delivered by the Borrower exceeds 10% of the book value of the aggregate Collateral used in the calculation of the Financial Covenant Certificate, then the Agent shall have no obligation to deliver the release instruments until the Borrower shall have provided to the Agent an updated Financial Covenant Certificate demonstrating that the Housing Collateral

Ratio and Aggregate Collateral Ratio, after giving effect to such additional requested release, would satisfy the requirements of Section 7.01.

(c) A Loan Party may, without the consent of any Lender, the Agent or any other Person, (A) make immaterial dispositions (including, but not limited to, lot line adjustments) of portions of any Mortgaged Property for dedication or public use to, or permit the creation of Liens to secure the levy of special assessments in favor of, governmental authorities, community development districts and property owners’ associations, (B) make immaterial dispositions of portions of the Mortgaged Property to third parties for the purpose of resolving any encroachment issues, (C) subject to Section 5.14, grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights-of-way for resolving minor encroachment issues or for access, water and sewer lines, telephone, cable and internet lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other similar purposes, and (D) subject to Section 5.14, consent to or join in any land use or other development approval documents (including subdivision plats, easements, homeowners’ association and condominium declarations and agreements and the like) provided that, in each case, the Release Conditions shall have been satisfied as evidenced by the Officer’s Certificate delivered in connection therewith and that such disposition, grant or consent is usual and customary in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s development business and otherwise does not materially impair the value, utility or operation of the applicable Mortgaged Property. In connection with any disposition or creation of any Lien or any grant or consent permitted pursuant to this subsection (c), the Agent shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate in the case of the dispositions referred to above to release the portion of the Mortgaged Property affected by such disposition from the Lien of the applicable Mortgage, or to subordinate the Lien of the applicable Mortgage, or acknowledge that the Lien of any Mortgage is subordinate, to such Liens or grants of easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights-of-way or other similar grants, or to evidence such consent or joinder, in each case within five (5) Business Days’, or shorter time period as may be agreed by the Agent, of receipt by the Agent of (x) an Officer’s Certificate, and (y) a copy of the applicable instrument or instruments of disposition, consent, joinder or subordination for the Agent’s execution. Such executed instruments shall be delivered by the Agent in accordance with the delivery instructions provided with the applicable Officer’s Certificate. The Officer’s Certificate and related documentation delivered to the Agent under this Section 2.01.2(c) shall be sent to the Agent via electronic mail to william.o’daly@credit-suisse.com and sanja.gazahi@credit-suisse.com or such other employees of the Agent as may hereafter be designated by the Agent in writing to the Borrower. The provisions of this paragraph shall in no way limit or alter the requirements of Sections 7.01 or 7.02 and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document is intended to subordinate or postpone, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating or postponing, or as any agreement to subordinate or postpone, any Lien created by any of the Loan Documents to any Lien permitted by Section 6.01 (other than the Liens expressly permitted by this Section 2.01.2(c)).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01.2, each of the Lenders hereby consents to the release, disposition or subordination of the Collateral as set forth in Sections 2.01.2(b) and 2.01.2(c) and the entering into of a servicing arrangement by the Agent and the Borrower on terms substantially similar to those set forth in the Real Estate Services Agreement dated as of October __, 2009 between Midland Loan Services, Inc. and Citibank, N.A.

or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Agent (a “Servicing Arrangement”), without the necessity of any further action or consent on its part. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.01.2(d), each of the parties hereto further acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event prior to the first recording of a Mortgage under this Agreement, enter into arrangements (which may include the granting of powers of attorney) reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower (and thereafter maintain) with a title company or other third party reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower. During such time as such Servicing Arrangement is in effect, all Authorized Agent’s Letters and Officer’s Certificates and related documents as described in Sections 2.01.2(b) and 2.01.2(c) shall be submitted by or on behalf of the Borrower to such title company or other third party. Such Servicing Arrangement shall authorize such title company or other third party to (x) receive all such Authorized Agent’s Letters and Officer’s Certificates and related documents, (y) review, execute and return, in accordance with the respective delivery instructions included with such documents, all instruments evidencing the requested release, disposition, subordination, joinder or consent, as applicable, and take all other actions required to be taken by the Agent in connection therewith as provided in Section 2.01.2(b) or Section 2.01.2(c), as the case may be, and (z) take all actions required to be taken by the Agent in respect of any Mortgages or Flood Certificates required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.17, in each case as provided in the Servicing Arrangement. The entry into and maintenance of such arrangements shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the Agent with respect to (i) such releases, subordinations, joinders and consents pursuant to Sections 2.01.2(b) and 2.01.2(c), respectively, (ii) any consent or authorization required to be given pursuant to Section 5.14 and (iii) any Mortgages or Flood Certificates required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.17. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between any terms or provisions of the Servicing Arrangement and any terms or provisions of Sections 2.10.2(b) – (d), 5.14 or 5.17, then the applicable terms and provisions of the Servicing Arrangement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01.2 to the contrary, if (x) no reasonably qualified title agent or third party shall be willing to enter into or maintain the Servicing Arrangement or (y) the Agent shall reasonably believe that any title agent or third party is taking actions on behalf of the Agent pursuant to any Servicing Arrangement that is contrary to the terms of the Servicing Arrangement, then the Agent shall have no obligation to enter into or maintain the Servicing Arrangement (with respect to the occurrence of clause (x) above) or to maintain the Servicing Arrangement (with respect to the occurrence of clause (y) above).

(e) The Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that (A) upon satisfaction of the Permitted Secured Debt Conditions, all of the security interests and Liens shall be deemed to be forever released, discharged and terminated on the applicable Collateral being pledged to the secured party providing the Secured Debt only to the extent such Secured Debt is permitted under Section 6.02 and the Lien securing such Debt is permitted under Section 6.01 (it being understood that, in the case of this clause (A), no Liens shall be released, discharged or terminated on Collateral included in Housing Collateral and the proceeds thereof unless, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 7.01) and (B) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and payment in full of the all outstanding Obligations (or, with respect to outstanding Facility Letters of Credit, cash collateralization or other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Issuer thereof and the Agent) all of the security interests in, and Liens on, the Collateral, shall be deemed to be forever released, discharged and terminated. From and after the date that the Permitted Secured Debt Conditions shall have been satisfied or the Termination Date shall have occurred and all outstanding

Obligations shall have been paid in full (or, with respect to outstanding Facility Letters of Credit, cash collateralized or provided for pursuant to other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Issuer thereof and the Agent), the Agent shall (x) execute (as applicable) and file Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, intellectual property release documents and such other instruments of release and discharge pertaining to the security interests and other Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents in any of the Collateral being so released as the Borrower may reasonably request to effectuate, or reflect of public record, the release and discharge of all such security interests and Liens and (y) deliver promptly all Collateral in its possession to the extent that the Liens on such Collateral are being released, discharged or terminated. All of the foregoing deliveries shall be at the expense of the Borrower, with no liability to the Agent or any Lender, and with no representation or warranty by or recourse to the Agent or any Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and in addition to the other conditions to release of Collateral in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall release its Lien on any applicable Collateral only if (i) such Collateral does not secure Debt under the Second Lien Notes, any Exchange Notes in respect thereof or any Refinancing Debt in respect of the Second Lien Notes or such Exchange Notes or (ii) all Liens on such Collateral securing Debt described in clause (i) are being released substantially simultaneously with the release of the Agent’s Lien on such Collateral.

(g) The Agent or its representatives shall be entitled to inspect the Collateral as follows: (i) at the Agent’s option, but typically no more than once each calendar quarter so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such representatives may review the Collateral at site and from the financial records of the Loan Parties, which will include Inventory reports, sales reports, copies of contracts, paid invoices, etc.; and (ii) material negative variances will be discussed with the Borrower and, if not satisfactorily resolved, will be reflected in the current month’s Financial Covenant Certificate. All inspections made by the Agent and its representatives shall be made solely and exclusively for the protection and benefit of the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall be entitled to claim any loss or damage against the Agent or its representatives for failure to properly discharge any alleged duties of the Agent.

(h) The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses associated with any of the actions taken under this Section 2.01.2 including, without limitation, (A) uniform commercial code searches, (B) judgment and tax lien searches, (C) recordation taxes, documentary taxes, transfer taxes and mortgage taxes and (D) filing and recording fees, charges and expenses.

Section 2.02 Reductions of and Increases in Aggregate Commitment.

Section 2.02.1 Reduction of Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and provided further that no reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayment made therewith, the sum of (i) the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loans and (ii) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Each reduction in part of the unused

portion of each Lender’s Commitment shall be made in the proportion that such Commitment bears to the total amount of the Aggregate Commitment. Any Commitment, once reduced or terminated, may not be reinstated (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(v)) and may not be increased (except in accordance with Section 2.02.2).

Section 2.02.2 Increase in Aggregate Commitment.

(a) Request for Facility Increase. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, request, by notice to the Agent, an increase of the Aggregate Commitment (a “Facility Increase”) within the limitations hereafter described, which request shall set forth the amount of each such requested Facility Increase. The Aggregate Commitment may be increased (up to the amount of such requested Facility Increase, in the aggregate) by having one or more New Lenders increase the amount of their then existing Commitments or become Lenders, as the case may be, subject to and in accordance with this provisions of this Section 2.02.2. Any Facility Increase shall be subject to the following limitations and conditions: (i) any increase (in the aggregate) in the Aggregate Commitment, any increase in any Commitment and any new Commitment shall (unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent) not be less than $5,000,000 (and (unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent) shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); (ii) no Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.02.2 shall increase the Aggregate Commitment to an amount in excess of $200,000,000; (iii) each Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.02.2 shall be on the same terms (including, without limitation, interest rates, guarantees and security on a pari passu basis) and conditions as this Facility; (iv) the Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a duly authorized Financial Officer of the Borrower dated the Increase Date certifying (A) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(1) have been satisfied, (B) all covenants in Section 7.01 are satisfied on a pro forma basis, in each case on the date of incurrence and for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such Facility Increase and other customary and appropriate pro forma adjustment events, including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the relevant determination period but prior to or simultaneous with the effectiveness of such Facility Increase and (C) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid; (v) the Borrower and each New Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and the Agent shall have accepted and executed the same; (vi) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Agent such Note or Notes as the Agent shall require to reflect such Facility Increase; (vii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent an opinion of counsel (substantially similar to the form of opinion provided for in Section 3.01(9)(A), modified to apply to the Facility Increase and each Note and Commitment and Acceptance executed and delivered in connection therewith); (viii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the Facility Increase and shall have agreed that their Guaranties continue in full force and effect; and (ix) the Borrower and each New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such Facility Increase. The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (iv) through (ix) above shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent. The Agent shall provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of any Facility Increase.

(b) New Lenders’ Loans and Participation in Facility Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Increase Date”), which Increase Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each New Lender and the Agent, (i) such New Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty from the Lenders, an undivided interest and participation in any Facility Letter of Credit then outstanding, ratably, such that each Lender (including each New Lender) holds a participation interest in each such Facility Letter of Credit in the amount of its then Pro Rata Share thereof; (ii) on such Increase Date, the Borrower shall repay all outstanding ABR Loans and reborrow an ABR Loan in a like amount from the Lenders (including the New Lender); (iii) such New Lender shall not participate in any then outstanding Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan; (iv) if the Borrower shall at any time on or after such Increase Date convert or continue any Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan that was outstanding on such Increase Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to repay such Loan on the date of the conversion or continuation thereof and then to re-borrow as a Loan a like amount on such date so that the New Lender shall make a Loan on such date in the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing; and (v) such New Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of all Loans made on or after such Increase Date (including those referred to in clauses (ii) and (iv) above) and shall otherwise have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder on and after such Increase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default prior to the date on which such New Lender is holding its Pro Rata Share of all Loans hereunder, such New Lender shall, upon notice from the Agent given on or after the date on which the Obligations are accelerated or become due following such Default, pay to the Agent (for the account of the other Lenders, to which the Agent shall pay their ratable shares thereof upon receipt) a sum equal to such New Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan then outstanding with respect to which such New Lender does not then hold an interest; such payment by such New Lender shall constitute an ABR Loan hereunder.

(c) Required Lenders. Solely for purposes of the calculation of Pro Rata Shares as used in the definition of “Required Lenders,” until such time as a New Lender holds its Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Loans (if any), the amount of such New Lender’s new Commitment or the increased amount of its Commitment shall be excluded from the amount of the Commitments and Aggregate Commitment and there shall be included in lieu thereof at any time an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding Loans and the participation interests in Facility Letters of Credit held by such New Lender with respect to its new Commitment or the increased amount of its Commitment.

(d) No Obligation to Increase Commitment. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time, and no Commitment of a Lender shall be increased without its prior written approval.

Section 2.03 Notice and Manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of any Loans under this Agreement, on the Business Day of each ABR Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days before each Eurodollar Loan, specifying: (1) the date of such Loan (which shall be a Business Day); (2) the amount of such Loan; (3) the type of Loan (whether an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan); and (4) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the

Interest Period applicable thereto, provided, however, that (a) no Interest Period may extend beyond the Termination Date and (b) not more than eight (8) Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any one time. All notices given by the Borrower under this Section 2.03 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the day specified above for such notice. The Agent shall notify each Lender of each such notice not later than noon New York City time on the date it receives such notice from the Borrower if such notice is received by the Agent at or before 11:00 A.M. New York City time. In the event such notice from the Borrower is received after 11:00 A.M. New York City time, it shall be treated as if received on the next succeeding Business Day, and the Agent shall notify each Lender of such notice as soon as practicable but not later than noon New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day. Not later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time on the date of such Loans, each Lender will make available to the Agent in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds, on the date of such Loans and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to the Borrower’s account with the Agent.

Section 2.04 Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. (a) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date (in the case of a Eurodollar Loan), or by 1:00 P.M. New York City time on the date (in the case of an ABR Loan), on which such Lender is to provide funds to the Agent for a Loan to be made by such Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such funds, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such funds available to the Agent on the date of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 and the Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have given the notice provided for above and shall not have made such funds available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s applicable Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the rate of interest applicable at the time to such proposed Loan. Nothing set forth in this Section shall affect the rights of the Borrower with respect to any Lender that defaults in the performance of its obligation to make a Loan hereunder.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount

distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.05 Conversions and Renewals. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a part of one type of Loan into another type of Loan or to renew all or part of a Loan by giving the Agent notice at least one (1) Business Day before conversion into an ABR Loan, and at least three (3) Business Days before the conversion into or renewal of a Eurodollar Loan, specifying: (1) the renewal or conversion date; (2) the amount of the Loan to be converted or renewed; (3) in the case of conversions, the type of Loan to be converted into; and (4) in the case of renewals of or a conversion into a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that (a) the minimum principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan outstanding after a renewal or conversion shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and the minimum amount of each ABR Loan outstanding after a renewal or conversion shall be Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and in each case in integral multiples of $100,000 if in excess of such minimum amounts; (b) Eurodollar Loans may be converted on a Business Day that is not the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan only if the Borrower pays on the date of conversion all amounts due pursuant to Section 2.16; (c) the Borrower may not renew a Eurodollar Loan or convert an ABR Loan into a Eurodollar Loan at any time that a Default has occurred that is continuing; (d) no Interest Period may extend beyond the Termination Date; and (e) not more than eight (8) Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any one time. All conversions and renewals shall be made in the proportion of the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. All notices given by the Borrower under this Section 2.05 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the day which is not less than the number of Business Days specified above for such notice. The Agent shall notify each Lender of each such notice not later than noon New York City time on the date it receives such notice from the Borrower if such notice is received by the Agent at or before 11:00 A.M. New York City time. In the event such notice from the Borrower is received after 11:00 A.M. New York City time, it shall be treated as if received on the next succeeding Business Day, and the Agent shall notify each Lender of such notice as soon as practicable but not later than noon New York time on the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to give the Agent the notice as specified above for the renewal or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Loan shall automatically be converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan.

Section 2.06 Interest. (1) The Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lender or Lenders on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loans at the following rates:

(i) If an ABR Loan, then at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time as interest accrues; and

(ii) If a Eurodollar Loan, then at a rate per annum for the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Any change in the interest rate based on the Alternate Base Rate resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall be effective (without notice) as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on each ABR Loan calculated on the basis of the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days (as appropriate) for the actual number of days elapsed and interest on each ABR Loan calculated based on the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) Interest on the Loans shall be paid (in an amount set forth in a statement delivered by the Agent to the Borrower, provided, however, that the failure of the Agent to deliver such statement shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder) in immediately available funds to the Agent at the office of Agent from time to time designated by it in writing for the account of the applicable Lending Office of each applicable Lender as follows:

(1) For each ABR Loan, on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the first such date after such Loan is made;

(2) For each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, except that, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, interest shall also be paid on the last day of the third month of such Interest Period; and

(3) If not sooner paid, then on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Loans may be due or declared due hereunder.

(d) Any principal amount of any Loan not paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) and any other overdue amounts (including, without limitation, interest and fees) shall bear interest thereafter until paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate or the applicable Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be, for such Loan in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus two percent (2%) per annum.

Section 2.07 Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Agent shall determine each Adjusted LIBO Rate. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If the provisions of this Agreement or any Note would at any time require payment by the Borrower to a Lender of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by the law applicable to any Loan, the interest payments to such Lender shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that such Lender shall not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount. If, as a result of the foregoing a Lender shall receive interest payments hereunder or under a Note in an amount less than the amount otherwise provided hereunder, such deficit (hereinafter called “Interest Deficit”) will cumulate and will be carried forward (without interest) until the termination of this Agreement. Interest otherwise payable to a Lender hereunder and under a Note for any subsequent period shall be increased by the maximum amount of the Interest Deficit that may be so added without causing such Lender to receive interest in excess of the maximum

amount then permitted by the law on the applicable Loans. The amount of the Interest Deficit relating to the Loans shall be treated as a prepayment premium (to the extent permitted by law) and paid in full at the time of any optional prepayment by the Borrower to the applicable Lenders of all the applicable Loans at that time outstanding pursuant to Section 2.10. The amount of the Interest Deficit relating to the applicable Loans at the time of any complete payment of the Loans at that time outstanding (other than an optional prepayment thereof pursuant to Section 2.10) shall be canceled and not paid.

Section 2.08 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.75% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the preceding calendar quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Termination Date or the date on which the Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated); provided that no Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to a Lender which is a Defaulting Lender for such period as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuer of a Facility Letter of Credit the Fronting Fee to be paid by the Borrower to such Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19.6(b). The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender the Facility Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 2.19.6(a).

Section 2.09 Notes. If so requested by any Lender, all Loans made by such Lender under this Agreement shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, a single Note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, in each case duly completed, dated the date of this Agreement and payable to such Lender for the account of its applicable Lending Office, such Note to represent the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made by such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower, but no Lender shall be required, to endorse on the schedule attached to such Note or Notes held by it the amount and type of such applicable Loan and each renewal, conversion, and payment of principal amount received by such applicable Lender for the account of its applicable Lending Office on account of its applicable Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of such Loans made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any Loan or renewal, conversion, or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Note or Notes held by such Lender. All Loans shall be repaid on the Termination Date.

Section 2.10 Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent not later than noon New York City time on the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans and at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans, prepay (including, without limitation, all amounts payable pursuant to the terms of Section 2.16)

the Loans in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, provided that (1) each partial payment shall be in a principal amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan and Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the case of an ABR Loan; and (2) Eurodollar Loans may be prepaid only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans; provided, however, that such prepayment of Eurodollar Loans may be made on any other Business Day if the Borrower pays at the time of such prepayment all amounts due pursuant to Section 2.16. Upon receipt of any such prepayments, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed the Pro Rata Share of such prepayment to each Lender for the account of its applicable Lending Office.

(b) The Borrower shall immediately upon a Change of Control prepay the Loans in full and all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment, and in the case of Eurodollar Loans all amounts due pursuant to Section 2.16.

(c) If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Commitments or at any other time, the aggregate principal amount of Loans plus the aggregate Facility Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay the Borrowings and, after the Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and each Issuer with respect to) Facility Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

Section 2.11 Method of Payment. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under any of the Notes not later than noon New York city time on the date when due in lawful money of the United States to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lending Office of each Lender in immediately available funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed (1) the Pro Rata Share of such payments of principal and interest with respect to Loans in like funds to each Lender for the account of its applicable Lending Office and (2) other fees payable to any Lender to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any such payment is not received by a Lender on the Business Day on which the Agent received such payment (or the following Business Day if the Agent’s receipt thereof occurs after 3:00 P.M. New York City time), such Lender shall be entitled to receive from the Agent interest on such payment at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate (which interest payment shall not be an obligation for the Borrower’s account, including under Section 10.04 or Section 10.06). The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment is not made when due under this Agreement or under any of the Notes, to charge from time to time against any account of the Borrower with such Lender any amount as due. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under any of the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest and the commitment fee, as the case may be, except, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, if the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 2.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans hereunder shall be used by the Borrower for working capital and general business purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to the extent permitted in this Agreement. The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of such proceeds for the purpose of repaying the Senior Notes or for purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X.

Section 2.13 Yield Protection. If any Change in Law, or the compliance of any Lender or Issuer therewith,

(i) subjects any Lender or Issuer or any applicable Lending Office to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or Issuer or applicable Lending Office), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or Issuer in respect of its Loans or Facility Letters of Credit or other amounts due it hereunder, or

(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuer or any applicable Lending Office (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Loans), or

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or Issuer or any applicable Lending Office of making, funding or maintaining loans or issuing or participating in letters of credit or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or Issuer or any applicable Lending Office in connection with loans, or requires any Lender or Issuer or any applicable Lending Office to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held, letters of credit issued or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or Issuer,

then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender or Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuer that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender or Issuer reasonably determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment and issuing or participating in Letters of Credit. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuer for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.14 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Issuer, any Lending Office of such Lender or Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuer is increased as a result of a Change in Law, then, within 10 days of demand by such Lender or Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy); provided, however, that a Lender or Issuer shall impose such cost upon the Borrower only if such Lender or Issuer is generally imposing such cost on its other borrowers having similar credit arrangements. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuer for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15 Availability of Eurodollar Loans. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at the Lending Office selected by the Lender would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law (and it is not reasonably possible for the Lender to designate an alternate Lending Office without being adversely affected thereby), or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Loans are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such Eurodollar Loans, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Loans and require any Eurodollar Loans to be repaid.

Section 2.16 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Loan is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits required to fund or maintain the Eurodollar Loan.

Section 2.17 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 2.13 and 2.14 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 2.13, 2.14 or 2.16. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall

be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.16 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.18 Replacement of Certain Lenders. (a) In the event a Lender (“Affected Lender”): (i) shall have requested compensation from the Borrower under Sections 2.13 or 2.14 to recover additional costs incurred by such Lender that are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, (ii) shall have delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.15 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurodollar Loans to the Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, (iii) shall have invoked Section 10.13, (iv) shall become a Defaulting Lender, or (v) shall fail to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent hereunder requiring the unanimous approval of all Lenders or the approval of such Lender as being affected thereby, so long as such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent has otherwise been approved by the Required Lenders, then, in any such case, the Borrower may effect the replacement of such Affected Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.18. The Borrower may elect to replace an Affected Lender and make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and, if a Replacement Lender (as hereinafter defined) notifies the Affected Lender of its willingness to purchase the Affected Lender’s interests in the Facility and the Agent and the Borrower consent thereto in writing, then such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignments and Assumptions in substantially and in all material respects in the form and substance of Exhibit E five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 11.02 that the Borrower shall have engaged for such purpose (each a “Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations (from and after the date of such assignment), including rights and obligations with respect to Facility Letters of Credit and its Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 11.02 (with the Borrower or the Replacement Lender paying any applicable processing or recording fee). The Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such events with respect to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the Borrower, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain commitments from one or more financial institutions to act as a Replacement Lender. As conditions to any such assignment, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction and (y) the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Sections 2.13 and 2.14 with respect to such Affected Lender and the fees payable to such Affected Lender under Section 2.08(b); provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.16, 10.04 and 10.06, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 9.05 with respect to obligations and liabilities accruing prior to the replacement of such

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

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Replacement Lender must be approved by the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and must comply with the conditions set forth in Section 11.02.

Section 2.19 Facility Letters of Credit.

Section 2.19.1 Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit. (a) Each Issuer agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower, through such offices, branches or affiliates as it and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.19, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Termination Date. Each Facility Letter of Credit shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, neither Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch or Goldman Sachs Lending Partners, LLC nor their respective affiliates shall be obligated to issue any commercial or trade (as opposed to standby) Facility Letter of Credit.

Section 2.19.2 Limitations. An Issuer shall not issue, amend or extend, at any time, any Facility Letter of Credit:

(i) if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or extension thereof requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuer;

(ii) if, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, the Aggregate Outstanding Extensions of Credit would exceed the Aggregate Commitment;

(iii) if, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, the Aggregate Outstanding Extensions of Credit of such Issuer would exceed such Issuer’s Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit;

(iv) unless such Issuer receives written notice from the Agent on or before the proposed Issuance Date of such Facility Letter of Credit that the issuance, amendment or extension of such Facility Letter of Credit is within the limitations specified in clause (ii) of this Section 2.19.2;

(v) that has an expiration date later than the earlier of the date one year after the proposed Issuance Date of such Facility Letter of Credit and the date

that is five Business Days prior to the scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that a Facility Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Facility Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the scheduled Termination Date) unless the Issuer notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Facility Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Facility Letter of Credit will not be renewed;

(vi) that is in a currency other than U.S. Dollars or that provides for drawings other than by sight draft or by a demand for payment in the form attached to such Facility Letter of Credit; or

(vii) to a beneficiary where such issuance, amendment or extension would be in violation of any applicable law or regulation, as determined by such Issuer after its customary diligence.

Section 2.19.3 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuer and the Agent not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement. Such notice shall specify (i) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested, which amount shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.19.2, (ii) the requested Issuance Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire, which date shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.19.2(v), (iv) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued and (v) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued. At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Agent with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Issuer and the Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2.19.3. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall confirm with the Agent in writing that the Agent has received a copy of such notice from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuer shall promptly provide the Agent with a copy thereof.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.19 and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02, the applicable Issuer shall, on the Issuance Date, issue the requested Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices unless such Issuer has actually received written or telephonic notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the request to issue such Facility Letter of Credit. Such Issuer shall promptly give the Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance, amendment, extension or cancellation of a Facility Letter of Credit, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter so notify all Lenders.

(c) No Issuer shall extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2.19.3 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(d) Any Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Letters of Credit (that are not Facility Letters of Credit) for its own account, and at its own risk. None of the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall apply to any Letter of Credit that is not a Facility Letter of Credit.

Section 2.19.4 Duties of Issuer. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Lender or, assuming that such Issuer has complied in all material respects with the procedures specified in Section 2.19.3, relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuer. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, such Issuer shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Facility Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit. Each Issuer shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the purpose of a Facility Letter of Credit and may rely on the Borrower’s representations with respect thereto in its request for issuance.

Section 2.19.5 Participation. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.19.3, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation ratably (in the proportion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share) in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto other than amounts owing to such Issuer under Section 2.14).

(b) In the event that an Issuer makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer on or before the date of such payment by such Issuer, such Issuer shall promptly so notify the Agent, which shall promptly so notify each Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment in same day funds, and the Agent shall promptly pay such amount, and any other amounts received by the Agent for such Issuer’s account pursuant to this Section 2.19.5, to such Issuer. If the Agent so notifies such Lender prior to noon New York City time on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuer such Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its ratable share of the amount of such payment available to the Agent for the account of the Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuer forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was first due until the date such amount is paid to the Agent for the account of the Issuer, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent for the account of an Issuer such Lender’s ratable share of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuer its ratable share of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

(c) If any draft or demand is paid under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of (A) the draft or demand so paid and (B) any

taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft or demand, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M. New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the second Business Day following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuer at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds or at the request of the Issuer by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft or demand is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date when such payment is required as set forth above, Section 2.06(a) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.06(d).

(d) Upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, each Issuer shall furnish to the requesting Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is party.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Agent for the account of an Issuer with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuer, the Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility 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;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(v) any failure by the Agent or an Issuer to make any reports required pursuant to Section 2.19.7; or

(vi) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

(f) For purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment and the unused portion of a Lender’s Commitment under Sections 2.02.1 and 2.08(a), the Aggregate Commitment shall be deemed used to the extent of the aggregate undrawn face amount of the outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and the Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed used to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn face amount of the outstanding Facility Letters of Credit.

Section 2.19.6 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, in the case of each Facility Letter of Credit, the Facility Letter of Credit Fee therefor, payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date (which payment shall be in the amount of all accrued and unpaid Facility Letter of Credit Fees). Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be calculated, on a pro rata basis for the period to which such payment applies, for actual days on which such Facility Letter of Credit was outstanding during such period, on the basis of a 360-day year. The Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when received by the Agent, ratably to all Lenders.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay the applicable Issuer of each Facility Letter of Credit an issuance fee with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit equal to an amount to be agreed with such Issuer (each such issuance fee, a “Fronting Fee”), properly due and payable hereunder with respect to the preceding calendar quarter and on the Termination Date. Each Fronting Fee shall be calculated on a pro rata basis for the period to which such payment applies, for actual days on which the applicable Facility Letter of Credit was outstanding during such period, on the basis of a 360-day year.

(c) An Issuer shall also have the right to receive, solely for its own account, customary issuance and administration fees and its out-of-pocket costs of issuing and servicing Facility Letters of Credit, as the Borrower may agree in writing.

Section 2.19.7 Issuer Reporting Requirements. Each Issuer shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Agent a schedule of the Facility Letters of Credit issued by it showing the Issuance Date, account party, original face amount, amount (if any) paid thereunder, expiration date and the reference number of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month (and indicating, with respect to each Facility Letter of Credit, whether it is a Financial Letter of Credit or Performance Letter of Credit) and the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Issuer during the month pursuant to Section 2.14. Copies of such reports shall be provided promptly to each Lender by the Agent. The reporting requirements hereunder are in addition to those set forth in Section 2.19.3.

Section 2.19.8 Indemnification; Nature of Issuer’s Duties. (a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.19, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Agent, each Issuer and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the claims of third parties against the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit other than, in the case of an Issuer, as a result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, or (ii) the failure

of an Issuer to honor a drawing under a Facility Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any government, court or other governmental agency or authority.

(b) As among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and each Issuer, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of or misuse of Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Facility Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither an Issuer nor the Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Facility Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Facility Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; or (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, such Issuer and the Lenders including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any government, court or other governmental agency or authority. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of such Issuer’s rights or powers under this Section 2.19 or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Section 2.19.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an Issuer under or in connection with the Facility Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuer, the Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person, but the foregoing shall not relieve such Issuer of its obligation to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under a Facility Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19.8, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Issuer under this Section 2.19.8 in respect of any liability incurred by an Issuer arising primarily out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuer, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or out of the wrongful dishonor by such Issuer of a proper demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer, unless such dishonor was made at the request of the Borrower.

Section 2.19.9 Resignation of Issuer. An Issuer shall continue to be an Issuer hereunder unless and until (i) it shall have given the Borrower and the Agent notice that it has elected

to resign as Issuer and (ii) there are, at the time of such notice and resignation, one or more other Issuers that have agreed to increase their respective Facility Letter of Credit Sublimits by amounts equal to such resigning Issuer’s Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit (or such lesser amount as the Borrower may agree), and each such Issuer increasing such Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit shall have been approved by the Agent and, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). A resigning Issuer shall continue to have the rights and obligations of the Issuer hereunder solely with respect to Facility Letters of Credit theretofore issued by it notwithstanding the designation of a replacement Issuer hereunder, but upon its notice of resignation (or, if at the time of such notice, there is not at least one other Issuer, then upon such designation of a replacement Issuer), the resigning Issuer shall not thereafter issue any Facility Letters of Credit (unless it shall again thereafter be designated as an Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.19.9). The assignment of, or grant of a participation interest in, or termination pursuant to Section 2.19 of, all or any part of its Commitment or Loans by a Lender that is also the Issuer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of any of its rights or obligations as an Issuer.

Section 2.19.10 Termination of Issuer’s Obligation. In the event that the Lenders’ obligations to make Loans terminate or are terminated as provided in Section 8.01, each Issuer’s obligation to issue Facility Letters of Credit shall also terminate.

Section 2.19.11 Obligations of Issuer and Other Lenders. Except to the extent that a Lender has a specified Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit applicable to it as shown on Schedule I hereto or shall otherwise have agreed to be designated as an Issuer, no Lender shall have any obligation to accept or approve any request for, or to issue, amend or extend, any Letter of Credit, and the obligations of an Issuer to issue, amend or extend any Facility Letter of Credit are expressly limited by and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.19.

Section 2.19.12 Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default as may be required pursuant to Section 8.01 or (ii) upon notice from the Agent pursuant to Section 2.19.14(a), maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the “Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Section 10.02, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no interest therein other than as set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 2.19.14(a), as the case may be. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of (a) the obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer and (if applicable) the Lenders for amounts (if any) from time to time drawn on Facility Letters of Credit and interest thereon and other sums from time to time payable under Reimbursement Agreements, and (b) if and when all such obligations of the Borrower have been paid in full and no Facility Letters of Credit remain outstanding, all other Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account in Cash Equivalents reasonably acceptable the agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in

this Section 2.19.12 shall either obligate the Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 2.19.14.

Section 2.19.13 Issuer’s Rights. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement and of the Borrower under any other Loan Document shall inure to the benefit of each Issuer (unless the context otherwise indicates).

Section 2.19.14 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19.14(c), if any Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then: (i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments but, in any case, only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (y) the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Lenders’ outstanding Loans and (2) the aggregate amount such Lenders’ Facility Letter of Credit Obligations does not exceed the total of the Commitments of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders, provided that such reallocation shall not cause any Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed its Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (as reasonably determined by the Agent), the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19.12 for so long as such Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding; (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this clause (a), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Facility Letter of Credit Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19.6 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized; (iv) if the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19.14(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19.6 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated Facility Letter of Credit Obligations; and (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19.14(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuers or any Lender hereunder, all Facility Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.19.6 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuer until such Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19.14(c), no Issuer shall be required to issue, amend (other than to reduce) or increase any Facility Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19.14(a).

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.19.14(a) and (b), if within three (3) Business Days following the Agent’s notice under Section 2.19.14(a) the Borrower shall by notice to the Agent advise the Agent that the Borrower intends to effect the assignment by such Defaulting Lender of all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement to a Person that is not a Defaulting Lender (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 11.02), the date by which the Borrower shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2.19.14(a) shall be extended to the 14th day after the date of the Agent’s notice; provided, however, that such extension shall not extend the date by which the Borrower is obligated to cash collateralize Facility Letters of Credit pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement. A Defaulting Lender shall not be obligated to assign its interest under this Agreement except to the extent that the provisions of Section 2.18 require an assignment.

(d) If the Borrower, the Agent and each Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.19.14(a)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(e) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.02 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.1914(a); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuer’s future

Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Facility Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19.14(a); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Facility Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Facility Letter of Credit disbusrements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Facility Letter of Credit disbusrements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Facility without giving effect to Section 2.19.14(a). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19.14(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

This Agreement is, and each of the other Loan Documents previously delivered or when delivered under this Agreement are or will be legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower or each Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable against the Borrower or each Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance

with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

Section 4.04 Financial Statements. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flow and changes to stockholders’ equity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011, are complete and correct and fairly present as at such date the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the results of their operations for the periods covered by such statements, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (subject to the absence of footnotes and year-end adjustments), and since September 30, 2011, there has been no change or occurrence that has had a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, there are no liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, fixed or contingent, which are material but are not reflected in the financial statements or in the notes thereto, other than (i) liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business since September 30, 2011, and (ii) the Senior Notes described in clauses (vi) and (vii) of the definition of the term “Senior Notes.” No information, exhibit, or report furnished by the Borrower to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, taken together, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.

ARTICLE VII
FINANCIAL COVENANTS

So long as any Loan shall remain unpaid or any Facility Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding or any Lender shall have any Commitment under this Agreement (unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders in writing):

Section 7.01 Minimum Collateral Coverage. Beginning on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Specified Drawing Condition is satisfied and (ii) 120 days after the Closing Date (which 120-day period may be extended up to an additional 120 days by the Agent in its sole discretion), the Borrower shall maintain (a) a ratio of the aggregate book value of Housing Collateral to the Aggregate Commitments (such ratio, the “Housing Collateral Ratio”) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 and (b) a ratio of the aggregate book value of all Collateral to the Aggregate Commitments (such ratio, the “Aggregate Collateral Ratio”) of 5.00 to 1.00. The ratios set forth in this Section 7.01 shall be calculated as of the last Business Day of each calendar month, and such calculations shall be set forth in the Financial Covenant Certificate to be delivered to the Agent as described in Section 5.08(3); provided, however, that if the Borrower shall fail to maintain either ratio set forth in this Section 7.01, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Agreement due

to the failure of such ratio to be maintained so long as the Borrower shall, not later than ten (10) days after delivery of such Financial Covenant Certificate reflecting such failure, (i) pledge additional assets (including, if needed, assets qualifying as Housing Collateral) as Collateral (on terms to be agreed with the Agent), including by providing cash collateral, and/or (ii) permanently reduce the Commitments, such that, after giving effect to such pledge and/or reduction, Borrower would be in compliance with this covenant. At any time after the Borrower has pledged any such additional assets as additional Collateral (whether pursuant to this Section 7.01 or otherwise), the Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release its Lien on such additional assets or a portion thereof, and the Agent shall release such Lien as so requested within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such request, so long as at the time of such release and after giving pro forma effect thereto, (i) the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 7.01 and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a duly completed Financial Covenant Certificate demonstrating such compliance, and (ii) no Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom.

Section 7.02 Minimum Liquidity. The Borrower shall maintain at all times Minimum Liquidity as follows, in the case of clause (a) and clause (b) with reference to the Interest Coverage Ratio for the most recently reported quarterly period and the Housing Collateral Ratio for the most recently reported monthly period:

(e) If the Interest Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 and the Housing Collateral Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00, the Borrower shall maintain Minimum Liquidity in an amount of not less than $25,000,000;

(f) If the Interest Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00, but less than 1.50 to 1.00, and the Housing Collateral Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00, the Borrower shall maintain Minimum Liquidity in an amount of not less than $50,000,000; and

(g) In all other cases not covered by clause (a) or clause (b) above, the Borrower shall maintain Minimum Liquidity in an amount of not less than $100,000,000.

ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 8.01 Events of Default. If any of the following events shall occur:

(1) The Borrower shall fail to pay (a) the principal of any Loan, or any amount of a commitment or other fee, as and when due and payable or (b) interest on any Loan within five (5) Business Days after the same is due and payable;

(2) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or by any Guarantor in any Loan Document or which is contained in any certificate, document, opinion, or financial or other statement furnished at any time under or in connection with this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect, incomplete, or misleading (i) in any material respect

or (ii) in any respect to the extent such representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality” or “material adverse effect”, in each case, on or as of the date made or deemed made;

(3) The Borrower or any Guarantor shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant, or agreement contained in Articles V, VI or VII hereof, and, in the case of Article V only, such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days after delivery of written notice thereof from the Agent to the Borrower or such Guarantor;

(4) The Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall (a) fail to pay (within the applicable cure period, if any) any amount in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money equal to or in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate (excluding the Obligations and any Non-Recourse Debt, but including any recourse obligations of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary arising under Non-Recourse Debt of any Loan Party pursuant to any of the characteristics listed in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or any interest or premium thereon, when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand, or otherwise); or (b) fail to perform or observe any term, covenant, or condition on its part to be performed or observed (within the applicable cure period, if any) under any agreement or instrument relating to any such indebtedness, when required to be performed or observed, if the effect of such failure to perform or observe is to accelerate the maturity of such indebtedness, or to permit the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness after the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, and after giving effect to any amendment or waiver; or (c) any such indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), repurchased (or an offer to repurchase to be made) or redeemed prior to the stated maturity thereof (other than as otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement);

corporate partnership, limited liability company or similar organizational action indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such petition, application, proceeding, or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for all or any substantial part of its properties; or (f) shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership, or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days or more. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.19.12, such amount shall be returned to the Borrower from the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account from time to time to the extent that no Event of Default is continuing and either the amount deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender;

(6) One or more judgments, decrees, or orders for the payment of money in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary and/or any Guarantor, and such judgments, decrees, or orders shall continue unsatisfied and in effect for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days without being vacated, discharged, satisfied, or stayed or bonded pending appeal;

(7) Any Guaranty hereunder shall at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Guarantor or the Guarantor shall deny it has any further liability or obligation under, or shall fail to perform its obligations under, the Guaranty (except to the extent that the foregoing occurs solely by reason of the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor as a result of an Internal Reorganization);

(8) Any Change of Control shall occur;

(9) Any of the following events shall occur or exist with respect to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Commonly Controlled Entity under ERISA: any Reportable Event shall occur; complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan shall take place; any Prohibited Transaction shall occur; a notice of intent to terminate a Plan shall be filed, or a Plan shall be terminated; or circumstances shall exist which constitute grounds entitling the PBGC to institute proceedings to terminate a Plan, or the PBGC shall institute such proceedings; and in each case above, such event or condition, together with all other events or conditions described in this Section 8.01(9), if any, could subject the Borrower or any Significant Guarantor or Significant Subsidiary to any tax, penalty, or other liability which in the aggregate may exceed $5,000,000;

(10) Except with respect to releases of Liens permitted under this Agreement, any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason, to be

in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert, or any Lien created by any of the Security Documents on any material portion of the Collateral shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby;

(11) The Intercreditor Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms) or the security interest of the Agent in any portion of the Collateral shall for any reason cease to be senior to the security interest of any Second Priority Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the Collateral, or, in either case, any Loan Party shall so assert; or

(12) Any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or agreement contained in the Collateral Agreement or any Mortgage, and such default shall continue unremedied for 30 consecutive days after the delivery of notice thereof from the Agent to such Loan Party;

then the following provisions shall apply:

(i) if any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(5) occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the Issuers to issue Facility Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) 105% of the amount of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the Issuers to issue Facility Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall

be deposited and maintained in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.19.12 and this Section 8.01.

(ii) If at any time while any Event of Default is continuing, the Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited and maintained in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.19.12 and this Section 8.01.

(iii) The Agent may, at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the Issuer under the Loan Documents.

(iv) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in Facility Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be returned by the Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

(v) If within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the Issuer to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 8.01(5) with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

(vi) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent may exercise any and all remedies provided under any of the Security Documents or otherwise provided by law.

Section 8.02 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, subject to the prior written consent of the Agent, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations

of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any Note or Notes held by such Lender or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note or Notes held by such Lender or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 8.02 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which each Lender may have.

ARTICLE IX
AGENCY PROVISIONS

Section 9.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or Issuer. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans and the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to act or to refrain from acting except upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or, to the extent required under Section 10.01, all Lenders (and shall be fully protected in so acting or so refraining from acting), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders, all Issuers and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Agent shall administer the Loan in the same manner that it would administer a comparable loan held 100% for its own account. The Agent may perform any of its duties under this Agreement and any other Loan Document by and through its agents (which shall include any third party sub-agent or mortgage servicer).

Section 9.02 Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or advisors shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them in good faith under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (1) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (2) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts; (3) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (4) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower (other than the payment of principal,

interest and fees due hereunder), or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (5) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, perfection, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; (6) shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender; and (7) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be sent by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail)) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 9.03 Rights of Agent Individually. (a) The Person serving as the Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuer understands that the Person serving as Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.03 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in any of the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender and each Issuer understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders.

(c) Each Lender and each Issuer further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender or any Issuer. None of (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) or (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

Section 9.04 Independent Credit Decisions. Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. The Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders and Issuers with copies of all notices of default and other formal notices sent or received by the Agent in accordance with Section 10.02, any written notice relating to changes in the Borrower’s debt ratings received by the Agent from the Borrower or a ratings agency, any documents received by the Agent pursuant to Section 5.08 (except to the extent that the Borrower has furnished the same directly to the Lenders) and any other documents or notices received by the Agent with respect to this Agreement and requested in writing by any Lender.

Section 9.05 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, controlling persons, members and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the proportion of their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Second Successor Agency and Amendment Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Second Successor Agency and Amendment Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of any of the foregoing if determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to (i) have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Affiliate, successor, assign, director, officer, employee,

agent, controlling person, member or advisor, (ii) have been on account of a strictly internal or regulatory matter relating to the Agent (such as relating to legal lending limit violation by the Agent), or (iii) have been in connection with a breach of an agreement made by the Agent to a Lender under this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and reasonable fees disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Second Successor Agency and Amendment Agreement; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to reimburse the Agent for any such expenses determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily (i) from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) in connection with a breach of an agreement made by the Agent to a Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any taxes, deductions or withholdings attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes, deductions or withholdings excluded from the definition of “Taxes” attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph.

Section 9.06 Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to Section 9.06(b). If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the thirtieth (30^th) day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the retiring Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

(b) The appointment of any successor Agent that is not a Lender shall, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 9.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payments (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in respect of any principal or interest on any of its Loans in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of the Loans of all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 9.07 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.08 Withholding Tax Matters. (a) For purposes of this Section 9.08, the term “Lender” shall be deemed to include any Issuer. For purposes of this Section 9.08 and Section 10.04, the term “applicable law” shall be deemed to include FATCA.

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

(c) Without limiting the generality of subsection (b) above, each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(d) Without limiting the generality of subsection (b) above, each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

(e) Without limiting the generality of subsection (b) above, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

100

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

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

Section 9.09 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Bookrunners or the Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or an Issuer hereunder.

Section 9.10 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party, for itself and behalf of each of its Affiliates that may hereafter become a Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party) to take any action reasonably requested by the Borrower (including, without limitation, authorizing and instructing any sub-agent or collateral service provider to take such action) having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations of the Guarantors (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.01 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and the other Obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated, and no Facility Letters of Credit shall be outstanding or any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit shall have been cash collateralized or otherwise secured by a collateral arrangement satisfactory to the respective Issuers, the Agent is hereby authorized to release its security interest in all of the Collateral and terminate the Security Documents and all Obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) owing to the Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents; provided that, upon written request, and at the expense of, the Borrower, the Agent shall take any action reasonably requested by the Borrower (including, without limitation, authorizing and instructing any sub-agent or collateral service provider to take such action) having the effect of releasing the Collateral and the guarantee obligations of the Guarantors. Any release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the

101

Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. (a) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any provision hereof or thereof may not be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of a Facility Letter of Credit Obligation, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or Facility Letter of Credit Obligation, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender to which such Loan or Facility Letter of Credit Obligation is owing, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify any provision requiring pro rata treatment of the Lenders, the provisions of Section 9.07, Section 11.01 or the provisions of this Section or release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees provide by the Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) waive, amend or modify any provision of Section 2.19 without the prior written consent of each Issuer or (v) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent or any Issuer (in their respective capacities as such) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent or such Issuer.

(b) The Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.

Section 10.02 Notices, Etc. (a) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail), and addressed to the party to be notified at its address for notices set forth on its signature page to this Agreement or in the case of any subsequent Lender, in its Administrative Questionnaire, or at such other address as shall be notified in writing (x) in the case of the Borrower and the Agent, to the other parties and (y) in the case of all other parties, to the Borrower and the Agent.

102

(b) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in Section 10.02(a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iii) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 10.02(d) to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform, and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in Section 10.02(a); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Agent pursuant to Article II or Article IX shall not be effective until received by the Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 10.02(a) and (b) (unless the Agent requests that the provisions of Sections 10.02(a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Borrower shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Agent to such electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

(d) Each Lender, each Issuer and the Borrower agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on SyndTrak™, IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(e) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby

103

acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(f) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

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

Section 10.03 No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Agent or the Issuer in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy hereunder. The making of a Loan or issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence of such Default or Event of Default, and the making of any Loan or issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure or inability to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence with respect to such conditions precedent with respect to any subsequent Loans or subsequent issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative, and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges, or remedies, now or hereafter existing, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 10.04 Costs, Expenses, and Taxes. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, the Arranger, the Lenders and the Issuers for all reasonable and documented out-of pocket costs (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, review, amendment, modification, waiver and administration of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and activities related thereto (such as, by way of example and not limitation, the Second Successor Agency and Amendment Agreement and any Servicing Arrangement). The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Agent, the Lenders and

104

the Issuers for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursement and other charges of counsel) of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including during any workout or restructuring in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b) The Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, documentary, court, intangible, filing and similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, and recording of any of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered under any such Loan Documents, and agrees to hold the Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failing to pay such taxes and fees.

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

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

(e) If any party hereto determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other

105

charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority), in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection (e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) This Section 10.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.05 Integration. This Agreement (including the Borrower’s obligation to pay the fees as provided in Section 2.08(c) and in the Agent’s Fee Letter referred to therein), the Loan Documents, the Fee Letter, the Reimbursement Agreements and the Commitment Letter (to the extent surviving the effectiveness hereof as provided therein) contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto.

Section 10.06 Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Lender, each Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Second Successor Agency and Amendment Agreement and any agreement or instrument contemplated by any of the foregoing, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Facility), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Facility Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any violation of or liability under environmental, health or safety laws related in any way to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from (x) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, or (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee of any funding obligation under this Agreement.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent or any Issuer under Section 10.04 or 10.06(a), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent or such Issuer, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share

106

(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Issuer in its capacity as such.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Facility Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Facility Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Issuer. All amounts due under this Section 10.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

Section 10.07 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN FACILITY LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH FACILITY LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH FACILITY LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.08 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties to this Agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Headings. Article and Section headings in the Loan Documents are included in such Loan Documents for the convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of the applicable Loan Documents for any other purpose.

() THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.11 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ISSUER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR COMMENCE

THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

Section 10.13 Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

Section 10.14 No Fiduciary Duty. The relationship between the Borrower and the Issuers and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Issuer or Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Issuer or Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates.

Section 10.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, and any administration or settlement service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (v) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.15, to (x) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (vi) with the consent of the Borrower or (vii) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.15. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that was available to the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Borrower after the date hereof,

109

such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred in this Section 10.15(b) has not been provided by the Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 5, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a notice requesting a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03, a notice pursuant to Section 2.05 or a notice requesting the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Agent.

(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials to the Approved Electronic Platform and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan

110

Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that all financial statements and certificates furnished pursuant to Sections 3.01(13), 5.08(1), 5.08(2), 5.08(4) and 5.08(6) are hereby deemed suitable for distribution, and shall be made available, to the Lender Parties as if the same had been marked “PUBLIC” in accordance with this Section 10.15.

(d) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Approved Electronic Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Approved Electronic Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

Section 10.16 USA Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender, Issuer and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or Issuer) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, Issuer or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.17 Register. The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Facility Letter of Credit Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 10.18 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against all other parties hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof and any Facility Letter of Credit and the use thereof.

(b) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) each assignment shall be in an integral multiple of $2,500,000 (provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Approved Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met) or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans,

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

Section 11.03 Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or any Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any applicable Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, (iv) all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold participating interests and (v) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) forgives principal, interest or fees (other than Agent’s fees) or reduces the interest rate (other than Agent’s fees) of such Lender, in each case with respect to Loans or other Obligations in which such Participant has an interest, (2) increases or extends the Commitments in which such Participant has an interest, (3) postpones the final maturity of the Facility or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees (other than Agent’s fees) or (4) releases all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees provided by the Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral.

113

disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 11.04 Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Article shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 11.05 Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (including any and all amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements and acknowledgements thereto permitted hereby) from time to time as Agent and on behalf of such Person, and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by such provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender, each Issuer and the Agent acknowledge that the Lien and security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of a conflict or any inconsistency between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

SECTION 3. The Guaranty. Subject to Section 9, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or early termination or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, at the time and in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) and performance of the Obligations, including without limitation any such Obligations incurred or accrued during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding (collectively, subject to the provisions of Section 9, being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(iii) any release, nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or any obligations of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any action or failure to act by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Issuer with respect to any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the

A-1-#PageNum#

#PageNum##PageNum#

LA2840486.16

Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of the Borrower of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document;

(vii) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or any rights of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer with respect thereto; or

(viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full: Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired. If at any time any payment of the Borrower of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

SECTION 6. Waivers. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, each of the Guarantors also waives the benefits of any provision of law requiring that the Agent exhaust any right or remedy, or take any action, against the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other person and/or property, or otherwise.

SECTION 7. Subordination; Subrogation. Each of the Guarantors hereby subordinates to the Guaranteed Obligations all indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or to any other Guarantor to such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against the Borrower arising out of or by reason of this Guaranty or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment or securing or purchasing of

A-1-#PageNum#

#PageNum##PageNum#

LA2840486.16

any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Guarantors unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired.

SECTION 8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 9. Limitation on Obligations. (a) The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Agent or any Lender or Issuer, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 9(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 9(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.

(b) Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Section 9(b) shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(c) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution

A-1-#PageNum#

#PageNum##PageNum#

LA2840486.16

hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 9(c) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 9(c) are for the benefit of both the Agent and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10. Bankruptcy, Etc. Until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent, commence or join with any other person in commencing any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute, voluntary or involuntary, involving the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or such other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantors will not prohibit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person from paying the Agent, or allowing the claim of the Agent in respect of, any interest, fees, costs, expenses or other Obligations accruing or arising after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

SECTION 11. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in writing, or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic email), and addressed to the party to be notified (a) in the case of a Guarantor, in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address specified in Section 10.02(a) of the Credit Agreement and (b) in the case of the Agent, at its address specified in Section 10.02(a) of the Credit Agreement. All other notice provisions (and related defined terms) set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 12. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender or any Issuer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any Note or the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 13. No Duty to Advise. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other

A-1-#PageNum#

SECTION 14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers and their respective successors and permitted assigns and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Documents, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, shall be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 15. Changes in Writing. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 16. Costs of Enforcement. Each of the Guarantors agrees to pay all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent or any Lender or Issuer or any Affiliate of any Lender or Issuer in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

SECTION 20. Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 21. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties to this Guaranty in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile or other electronic image shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

Taxes, etc. All payments required to be made by any of the Guarantors hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political or taxing authority thereof (excluding federal taxation of the overall income of any Lender), provided, however, that if any of the Guarantors is required by law to make such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall

LA2840486.16
