JRMSA Credit Agreement

On May 3, 2010, McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott”) and J. Ray McDermott, S.A. (“JRMSA”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “JRMSA Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent.

The JRMSA Credit Agreement replaces JRMSA’s prior $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. All amounts outstanding under JRMSA’s previous senior secured revolving credit facility have been repaid with borrowings under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, and all letters of credit outstanding under that previous facility are now deemed issued under the JRMSA Credit Agreement. JRMSA is the initial borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement. Upon completion of the proposed spin-off transaction involving the distribution by McDermott of all the outstanding shares of common stock of The Babcock & Wilcox Company (“B&W”), currently a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott, McDermott will become the borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement and JRMSA will become a guarantor under the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

The JRMSA Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings and issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate outstanding amount of up to $900.0 million, and the credit facility is scheduled to mature on May 3, 2014. Proceeds from borrowings under the JRMSA Credit Agreement are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Upon the closing of the JRMSA Credit Agreement, JRMSA had approximately $160.0 million of outstanding borrowings and approximately $204.6 million of outstanding letters of credit under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, leaving JRMSA with approximately $535.4 million available capacity for additional borrowings and letters of credit under the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

The JRMSA Credit Agreement includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $1.2 billion for all revolving loan and letter of credit commitments under the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

2

The JRMSA Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of JRMSA’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and by certain other subsidiaries of McDermott. Upon completion of the spin-off of B&W, substantially all of McDermott’s wholly owned subsidiaries that are not already guarantors under the JRMSA Credit Agreement will become guarantors thereunder. Obligations under the JRMSA Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by JRMSA and the guarantors, including certain vessels. Upon completion of the spin-off of B&W, McDermott and its wholly owned subsidiaries that become guarantors under the JRMSA Credit Agreement will grant liens on certain assets owned by them. If the corporate rating of McDermott and its subsidiaries from Moody’s is Baa3 or better (with a stable outlook or better), the corporate family rating of McDermott and its subsidiaries from S&P is BBB- or better (with a stable outlook or better), and certain other conditions are met, the liens securing obligations under the JRMSA Credit Agreement will be released, subject to reinstatement upon the terms set forth in the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

Other than customary mandatory prepayments in connection with casualty events, the JRMSA Credit Agreement requires only interest payments on a quarterly basis until maturity. The borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement may prepay all loans under the JRMSA Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements.

Loans outstanding under the JRMSA Credit Agreement bear interest at the borrower’s option at either the Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per year or the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per year. The applicable margin for revolving loans varies depending on the credit ratings of the JRMSA Credit Agreement. The borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement is charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the JRMSA Credit Agreement, and that fee varies between 0.375% and 0.625% per year depending on the credit ratings of the JRMSA Credit Agreement. Additionally, the borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement is charged a letter of credit fee of between 2.50% and 3.50% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the JRMSA Credit Agreement and a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the credit ratings of the JRMSA Credit Agreement. The borrower under the JRMSA Credit Agreement also pays customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the JRMSA Credit Agreement. In connection with entering into the JRMSA Credit Agreement, JRMSA paid certain up-front fees to the lenders thereunder, and JRMSA paid certain arrangement and other fees to the arrangers and agents of the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

Based on the current credit ratings of the JRMSA Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for Eurodollar-rate loans is 3.00%, the applicable margin for base-rate loans is 2.00%, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit is 3.00%, the letter of credit fee for performance letters of credit is 1.50%, and the commitment fee for unused portions of the JRMSA Credit Agreement is 0.50%. The JRMSA Credit Agreement does not have a floor for the base rate or the Eurodollar rate.

3

The JRMSA Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio (as defined in the JRMSA Credit Agreement) is 2.50 to 1.00. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the JRMSA Credit Agreement) is 4.00 to 1.00.

In addition, the JRMSA Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit JRMSA’s and its subsidiaries’ (and after the spin-off, McDermott’s and its subsidiaries’) ability to:

• incur or assume indebtedness;

• grant or assume liens;

• make acquisitions or engage in mergers;

• sell, transfer, assign or convey assets;

• make investments;

• repurchase equity and make dividends and certain other restricted payments;

• change the nature of its business;

• engage in transactions with affiliates;

• enter into certain burdensome agreements;

• enter into speculative hedging contracts;

• enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

• make capital expenditures;

• prior to the completion of the spin-off of B&W, change certain terms of the spin-off described in the JRMSA Credit Agreement; and

• enter into any new guaranties or credit support obligations with respect to the obligations of B&W and its subsidiaries.

In addition to generally customary events of default for a secured credit facility, the JRMSA Credit Agreement includes an event of default if McDermott or any of its subsidiaries makes any payments or performs any obligations having an aggregate value in excess of $15.0 million with respect to any existing parent company guarantee of obligations of B&W and its subsidiaries. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to the borrower occurs under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, all obligations under the JRMSA Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the JRMSA Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. In addition, if any event of default exists under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

4

If any default occurs under the JRMSA Credit Agreement, or if JRMSA and McDermott are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the JRMSA Credit Agreement, the borrower will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the JRMSA Credit Agreement.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the JRMSA Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

BWICO Credit Agreement

On May 3, 2010, Babcock & Wilcox Investment Company (“BWICO”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “BWICO Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.

The BWICO Credit Agreement replaces the prior $400.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility of Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (“BWPGG”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BWICO, and the prior $135.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility of BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BWICO. All amounts outstanding under BWPGG’s and BWXT’s previous senior revolving credit facilities have been repaid, and all letters of credit outstanding under those previous credit facilities are now deemed issued under the BWICO Credit Agreement. BWICO is the initial borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement. Upon completion of the spin-off of B&W, B&W will become the borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement and BWICO will become a guarantor under the BWICO Credit Agreement.

The BWICO Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings and issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate outstanding amount of up to $700.0 million, and the credit facility is scheduled to mature on May 3, 2014. The proceeds of the BWICO Credit Agreement are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. Upon the closing of the BWICO Credit Agreement, BWICO had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $255.3 million of outstanding letters of credit under the BWICO Credit Agreement, leaving BWICO with approximately $444.7 million available capacity for additional borrowings and letters of credit under the BWICO Credit Agreement.

The BWICO Credit Agreement includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $850.0 million for all revolving loan and letter of credit commitments under the BWICO Credit Agreement.

The BWICO Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of BWICO’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Upon completion of the spin-off of B&W, substantially all of B&W’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that are not already guarantors under the BWICO Credit Agreement will become guarantors. Obligations under the BWICO Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by BWICO and the guarantors (other than

5

BWXT and its subsidiaries). Upon completion of the spin-off of B&W, B&W and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that become guarantors under the BWICO Credit Agreement will grant liens on certain assets owned by them. If the corporate rating of B&W and its subsidiaries from Moody’s is Baa3 or better (with a stable outlook or better), the corporate family rating of B&W and its subsidiaries from S&P is BBB- or better (with a stable outlook or better), and certain other conditions are met, the liens securing obligations under the BWICO Credit Agreement will be released, subject to reinstatement upon the terms set forth in the BWICO Credit Agreement.

The BWICO Credit Agreement requires only interest payments on a quarterly basis until maturity. The borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement may prepay all loans under the BWICO Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements.

Loans outstanding under the BWICO Credit Agreement bear interest at the borrower’s option at either the Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per year or the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per year. The applicable margin for revolving loans varies depending on the credit ratings of the BWICO Credit Agreement. The borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement is charged a commitment fee on the unused portions of the BWICO Credit Agreement, and that fee varies between 0.375% and 0.625% per year depending on the credit ratings of the BWICO Credit Agreement. Additionally, the borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement is charged a letter of credit fee of between 2.50% and 3.50% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the BWICO Credit Agreement and a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the BWICO Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the credit ratings of the BWICO Credit Agreement. The borrower under the BWICO Credit Agreement also pays customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the BWICO Credit Agreement. In connection with entering into the BWICO Credit Agreement, BWICO paid certain upfront fees to the lenders thereunder, and BWICO paid certain arrangement and other fees to the arrangers and agents of the BWICO Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE II

THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 2.1 The Revolving Commitments

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. The entire amount of the Revolving Commitments will be available in the form of letters of credit issued pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit).

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”) (or shall be made by telephone and the same information shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (E) remittance instructions. The Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 (or $500,000.00 with respect to Swing Loans) and shall be allocated pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such

41

amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(c) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified, including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Swing Loans

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans (each a “Swing Loan”) otherwise available to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $30,000,000.00; provided, however, that, in no event, shall any Swing Loan be made in excess of the Available Credit. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Facility Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall telecopy (or, if consented to by the Swing Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent, forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Swing Loan Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request) (or shall make such request by telephone and promptly thereafter forward a written confirmation containing the same information), setting forth the requested amount and date of the Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by the Swing Loan Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender shall make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the

42

conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.

(c) The Swing Loan Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be a telecopy or, if agreed to by the Administrative Agent, electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day of each week, of the aggregate principal amount of its Swing Loans then outstanding.

(d) The Swing Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, in the manner provided in clause (e) below, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans demanded to be paid.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall forward each notice referred to in clause (c) above and each demand referred to in clause (d) above to each Lender on the day such notice or such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such notice or demand received by the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Lender’s receipt of such written statement, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make all or part of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of

43

such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans for Revolving Loans.

(g) From and after the date on which any Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (e) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) acquires an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, the Swing Loan Lender shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Lender pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above.

Section 2.4 Letters of Credit

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue one or more Letters of Credit at the request of, and for the account of, the Borrower to support obligations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Joint Ventures or, until the effective time of the Spin, any Person that will be a Subsidiary of the New Borrower upon completion of the Spin Steps, from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is 30 days before the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that no Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(ii) such Issuer shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower, on or prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness) (with respect to an Issuance on the Effective Date) or 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) is not then satisfied or duly waived in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.);

44

(iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Commitments in effect at such time or the amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer would exceed its Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment;

(iv) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid;

(v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer, in its sole discretion exercised in a commercially reasonable manner; or

(vi) with respect to any requested Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, (A) the Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall not have approved such Issuance or (B) the Issuer receives notice from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time in respect of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency would exceed $150,000,000.00 on the date of such proposed Issuance.

None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledge the issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit prior to the Effective Date and agree that such Existing Letters of Credit are hereby deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months from the date of Issuance thereof or such later date as the applicable Issuer may agree in its sole discretion and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date or, with the approval of the applicable Issuer at its discretion, any date that is after the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a fixed term may provide for the auto-renewal thereof for additional periods of not more than 12 months each; provided, further, however, that if any Issuance or renewal occurs during the 12 month period prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date or the Borrower requests (and the applicable Issuer approves) the Issuance of a Letter of Credit that expires after the Revolving Facility Termination Date, then on or before the date that is 95 days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date (or on the date of such Issuance, if the date of such Issuance is later than the 95^th day prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date and the relevant Issuer so consents), the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Collateral Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit that expires after the Revolving Facility Termination Date (each such Letter of Credit an “Extended Letter of Credit”). On the Revolving Facility Termination Date and if all Obligations have been repaid in full, such Extended Letters of Credit shall for all purposes cease to be Letters of Credit hereunder and the obligations of the Lenders to

45

fund their Ratable Portions of such Extended Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (h) below shall be terminated except to the extent that any Letter of Credit has an expiration date after the Revolving Facility Termination Date and has not been cash collateralized as described above. After the Revolving Facility Termination Date and the repayment in full of all Obligations, the terms for release of such cash collateral shall be as agreed from time to time between the Borrower and such Issuer; provided that in the absence of such agreement between the Borrower and such Issuer, the terms of this Agreement shall, as between the Borrower and such Issuer, continue to govern the fees, costs and expenses payable in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer at least two Business Days’ (unless the relevant Issuer otherwise agrees) prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable on and after the Issuance of such Letter of Credit (and, prior to such Issuance, may be revoked only with the consent of the Issuer) and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Unless the Issuer otherwise agrees, such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the first Issuance of a Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each Lender in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by the Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

46

(f) Each Issuer shall:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent, electronic mail) of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it, the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation and of the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit (of which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender);

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and

(iii) no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010), provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower a schedule of Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Effective with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, and otherwise effective immediately upon the Issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from each Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitments in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) no later than the date (the “Reimbursement Date”) that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such Issuer (or, if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York Time) on any Business Day, then no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York Time) on the next succeeding Business Day) that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. If any Issuer makes any

47

payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrower in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders (except as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.4(b)) to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection

48

with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever. Any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in any case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause (i) shall be deemed to release any Issuer from liability with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(j) If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any amount so unpaid together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans for Revolving Loans. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such

49

payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment.

(k) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and each obligation due with respect thereto, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Dollar Equivalent of each Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a drawn Letter of Credit shall be calculated on the date the Issuer pays the draw giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the date of each Issuance of such Letter of Credit and at any time, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time upon request of any Lender or Issuer.

(l) If the Issuer of a Letter of Credit is not the Person acting as Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of such Letter of Credit promptly upon the Issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment.

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is Issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of Issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

50

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and (ii) each such reduction shall be made ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Commitment. A notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Revolving Commitments that the refinancing condition has not been met and the termination is to be revoked (it being understood that any Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option)).

(b) Any reduction of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(b) Mandatory Prepayments) shall be applied as follows:

first, to prepay the Swing Loans to the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment;

second, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment;

third, to pay outstanding Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such payment;

fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such cash collateralization; and

fifth, to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments to the full extent thereof.

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans

The Borrower promises to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans on the Revolving Facility Termination Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier).

51

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Promissory Note).

Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments

The Borrower may, at any time, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment. A notice of prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for such prepayment that the refinancing condition has not been met and the notice of such prepayment is to be revoked (it being understood that any Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and,

52

thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option)).

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Commitments at such time, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess.

(b) Upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any insurance proceeds pursuant to clause (iii) of the last sentence of Section 7.5 (Maintenance of Insurance) or Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(i) (Sale of Assets), such amounts shall be applied to reduce Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.5(b) (Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments).

Section 2.10 Interest

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan determined for the applicable Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

53

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the interest rate otherwise in effect shall, upon the election of the Requisite Lenders (except if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f) (Events of Default), in which case such increase shall be immediate) increase 2.00% per annum.

(d) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Revolving Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Revolving Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option

(a) The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) specifying, in each case, (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.

54

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time during which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12 Fees

(a) Revolving Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except for any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”), accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment of such Lender exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus (y) the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears (A) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010) and (B) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee of 0.250% per annum (“Fronting Fees”) of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010) and (B) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account and ratable benefit of the Lenders (except for any Defaulting Lender that has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuers pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit)), with respect to each Letter of Credit (but excluding that portion of any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit) as a result of any Defaulting Lender), a fee (the “Letter of Credit Participation Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the daily

55

maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit is a Financial Letter of Credit and (B) 50% of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit (in either case, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, based on the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter), payable in arrears (x) on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010) and (y) on the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased, upon the election of the Requisite Lenders (except if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(a) or (f) (Events of Default), in which case such increase shall be immediate), by 2% per annum and shall be payable on demand; and

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the Issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of Issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letters.

(d) Payment of Fees to Lenders. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to pay to each Lender such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Participation Fee, as applicable, received by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, promptly following receipt of each of the same from (and only to the extent each such fee is received from) the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that (i) the Ratable Portion of any Revolving Commitment Fee shall be calculated without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Letter of Credit Participation Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which neither such Defaulting Lender nor the Borrower has provided cash collateral satisfactory to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(m) (Letters of Credit) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Ratable Portions allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuer for its own account.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent

56

shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) or (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or (d) (Illegality) shall be paid only to any affected Lender and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (in each case calculated to include the first day but exclude the last day) (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of interest accruing at the Base Rate when the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days at all other times. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, 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 that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three Business Days, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (f) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the

57

express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable, and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of other Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders), be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Commitments (calculated (i) in the case of principal payments, without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender that has not fully funded its share of the Loans being repaid and (ii) in the case of interest payments, without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender for the amount of interest payable in respect of Loans for which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its share of the Loan); and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.12(d) (Payment of Fees to Lenders) and Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure).

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any net proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, during such time, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

First, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of (i) the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower and (ii) the Reimbursement Obligations owed to any Issuer for which such Issuer has not then been reimbursed by any Lender or the Borrower;

Second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan;

Third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Administrative Agent;

Fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

58

Fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

Sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans (ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans) and Reimbursement Obligations; and

Seventh, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses first through seventh above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through sixth above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of prior notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through fifth above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders.

Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. If (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period or calendar quarter, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower

59

that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly following such determination. Thereafter, the Borrower’s right to request, and the Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be restored.

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or an Issuer determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender or such Issuer with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) subject any Lender or any Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuer in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) or the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities excluded from the definition of Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be, together with supporting documents, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in such certificate shall be retroactive, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender an Issuer pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date of such certificate. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,

60

and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loan to the Borrower, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin or other profit on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid by reason of an increase or reduction in Revolving Commitments on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above, (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof, or (v) as a consequence of the assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders) or Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.). The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender or any Issuer determines that (a) the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s (or any Person controlling such Lender’s or such Issuer’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or such Issuer, the Borrower shall pay to the

61

Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and a calculation for such amount shall be submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in any such certificate shall be retroactive, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any reduction in rates of return with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of each such certificate. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, hereunder or under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto but excluding in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (i) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (ii) any withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender that became a Lender by assignment or transfer after the Effective Date, the effective date of such assignment or transfer, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), and (iii) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes and Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent then, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

62

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) withheld by the Borrower or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations until 30 days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the collection from the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent of the Taxes and Other Taxes to which the obligations under this Section 2.16 relate.

(e) Prior to the Effective Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Financial Institution that is a signatory hereto and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Financial Institution shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with duly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form), (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form), (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Financial Institution claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority certifying as to such Non-U.S. Financial Institution’s entitlement to such exemption from withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Financial Institutions under the Loan Documents. Within a reasonable period following written request therefor from the Borrower, each Non-U.S. Financial Institution (but only as long as such Non-U.S. Financial Institution is able to do so pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law) shall provide to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor or other applicable

63

form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority) to the extent necessary as a result of any prior form expiring or becoming inaccurate or obsolete.

(f) Each Lender (other than a Non-U.S. Financial Institution) shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of the Agreement or, as the case may be, the date such Lender becomes a Lender, provide to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two completed copies of Form W-9, unless such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is an “exempt recipient,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) with respect to which no withholding is required. Each Lender (from time to time following written request therefor from the Borrower, but only for so long as such Lender is able to do so pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law) will provide to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional copies of Form W-9 or notification of “exempt recipient” status (or any successor or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS) to the extent necessary as a result of any prior form or notification expiring or becoming inaccurate or obsolete.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form or other document described in clause (e) or (f) above, as applicable (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form is not required under clause (f) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under clause (a) or (c) above with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

(h) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has received a payment from or has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, which refund in solely the good faith judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such receipt and shall, within 30 days after the later of the receipt of a written request by the Borrower or the receipt of such refund (unless such Lender reasonably expects that is shall be required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority), pay the amount of such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and taxes imposed on the Lender or Administrative Agent with respect to such amounts, without interest thereon and subject to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off); provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to return such refund to such Lender or the Administrative Agent within 30 days after receipt of written notice in the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available to the Borrower any Tax Return or any other document containing information that it deems to be confidential.

64

Section 2.17 Substitution of Lenders

If (a)(i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (iii) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender, or (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans exceeds the effective average rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (c) in the case of clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Revolving Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the notification to the Borrower of any applicable event described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make such substitution, which substitute financial institution (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) if not already a Lender, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuer; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. If the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity meets the conditions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par plus accrued interest, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and such substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Revolving Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). If such Affected Lender is a Lender hereunder, upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrower in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date to such Affected Lender), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Revolving Commitment, in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Commitment, assumed by it and such Revolving Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. If such Affected Lender is a Lender hereunder, it shall execute an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such transfer; provided, however, that the failure of the Affected Lender to execute such Assignment and Acceptance shall not invalidate such assignment,

65

and such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Affected Lender of such payment in full.

Section 2.18 Incremental Revolving Commitments

(a) The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, one or more increases to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of $300,000,000.00 in the aggregate and not less than $25,000,000.00 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent).

(b) Such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such New Revolving Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Commitment.

(c) Such New Revolving Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (ii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Article V (Financial Covenants) as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (iii) the New Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Lender and the Administrative Agent, and which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.16(e) and (f) (Taxes); (iv) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs) in connection with the New Revolving Commitments; and (v) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(d) On the Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the New Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving

66

effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto and all other matters under this Agreement.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of the Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (y) the New Revolving Commitments and the New Lenders, and (z) in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18.

(f) The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Loans. Each joinder agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.18.

Section 2.19 Cash Collateral

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) (Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent (including, in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), the Cash Collateral Account). To the extent provided by the Borrower, the Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

67

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit), 2.3 (Swing Loans), Section 2.5 (Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Commitments), Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments), Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations), Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders), or Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which such cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.2(b)(iv) (Assignment and Acceptance)) or (ii) the Collateral Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, that (x) cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.19 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.13(e) and (f) (Payments and Computations), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral and the Issuer or Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.).

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

68

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to an Issuer or Swing Loan Lender hereunder;

third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit;

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 that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;

sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or the Swing Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

eighth, to that 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 Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender.

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 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fee for any period during which

69

that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Participation Fees as provided in Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees).

(iv) Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.3 (Swing Loans) and 2.4 (Letters of Credit), the “Ratable Portion” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitments of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitments of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstandings of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Loan Lender and each Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Portions (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon that 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.

(c) Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders).

(d) Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any proposed acquisition of Stock, assets, or property by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.00 and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to commence manufacturing, industrial or other similar operations that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to additional Environmental Laws, that are materially different from the Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(e) Borrower shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 7.10.

In the event Borrower fails to take required actions to address such Release or threatened

96

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (u) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (w) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (y) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit) or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have

118

received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.4 Lender Credit Decision

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

Section 10.5 Indemnification

(a) Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion (determined at the time such indemnity is made) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,

119

suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or such Issuer’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or each Issuer as applicable, promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is made) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(b) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any all expenses incurred.

Section 10.6 Successor Agents

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each

120

Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X (The Administrative Agent and Other Agents) and Sections 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) and 11.4 (Indemnities) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X (The Administrative Agent and Other Agents) and Sections 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) and 11.4 (Indemnities)

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Obligation that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Collateral Documents and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Collateral Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Collateral Documents, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and

123

exclusively in its own interest given its own Revolving Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Management Agreements and Hedging Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Secured Party, as the case may be.

Section 10.9 Other Agents

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Joint Bookrunners 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 Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuer hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of any amendment, by the Borrower, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent with the consent thereof), do any of the following:

(i) waive any condition specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness) or 3.2(b) (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the waiver of which requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions

124

Precedent to Effectiveness), subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (Determinations of Initial Borrowing Conditions);

(ii) increase the Revolving Commitment of such Lender;

(v) reduce the rate or amount of interest on any Loan outstanding to such Lender or any Reimbursement Obligations outstanding or any fee payable hereunder to such Lender; provided, however, that only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Participation Fees at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(c) (Default Interest) and Section 2.12(b)(ii) (Letter of Credit Fees), respectively;

(vi) postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest or fees owing to such Lender;

(ix) amend Section 10.7(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents), this Section 11.1, the sharing provisions of Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) or either definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders” or “Ratable Portion”;

125

and, provided, further, that (v) no amendment shall be made to this clause (a) without the prior written consent of each Lender, (w) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations), affect the grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such Special Purpose Vehicle hereunder, (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by such Issuer, affect the rights or duties of any Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (z) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lender), except that (x) the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1(c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Commitments and applicable Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto and other amounts due and payable hereunder through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and the Assignee shall pay any processing and recordation fee (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that the failure to execute such Assignment and Acceptance by the Non-Consenting Lender shall not invalidate such assignment, and

126

such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed upon receipt by such Non-Consenting Lender of the proceeds of such sale and acceptance.

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, except as contemplated by the Spin and in accordance with Section 11.21 (Assumption of New Borrower), no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) below (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights

127

and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) above and, in addition: (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; (C) the consent of each Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and (D) the consent of the Swing Loan Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons.

(viii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative

128

Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Ratable Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 11.4 (Indemnities) and 11.5 (Limitation of Liability) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) below.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notice, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the

129

Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuer and Swing Loan Lender 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 which would (x) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such Participant under the Loan Documents, to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation, (y) increase the commitment applicable to such Participant or (z) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral or releasing any Guarantor that is not an Immaterial Guarantor other than pursuant to an exception described in Section 11.1(a)(viii) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.). Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14(c) (Increased Costs), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 4.8 (Taxes) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 (Taxes) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) and (f) (Taxes) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make

130

all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities or any other holder of a Lender’s debt obligations or representative of such holder or (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above, in each case without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (g) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).

(h) Any Issuer may, with, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(h), then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses

(a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable external audit, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and

131

its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (which audit expenses shall be reimbursed only if conducted when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions To Loans And Letters Of Credit), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or engagement letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans and Letters of Credit, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which any Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under clauses (vi) and (vii) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). The Borrower also agrees upon demand to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse each Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by such Agent, such Lenders or Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under clause (iii)

132

hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable).

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 11.3 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 11.4 Indemnities

(a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Joint Lead Arranger, each Joint Bookrunner, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer and each of their respective Related Parties (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions To Loans And Letters Of Credit)) and each of their respective successors and assigns (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable and customary fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to (i) any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or order of an arbitral tribunal and (ii) any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable). Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental

133

Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer for, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against any Agent, any Lender and any Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of service of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to an Indemnified Matter, such Indemnitee will notify the Borrower in writing of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Borrower will relieve the Borrower from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee only if and only to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the Borrower of substantial rights and defenses that actually and materially prejudice the Borrower, and will not in any event relieve the Borrower from any other obligation or liability that the Borrower may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than in accordance with the provisions hereof. If the Borrower so elects following its acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee or is requested by such Indemnitee, the Borrower will assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, such Indemnitee reasonably determines in its judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendants in or targets of any such action or proceeding include both an Indemnitee and the Borrower and such Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnitees that are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower, or if the Borrower fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, then such Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Borrower will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Borrower will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) for such Indemnitee in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Borrower assumes,

134

the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnitee’s own expense.

(d) The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each Affiliate of any of them is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 (Defaulting Lenders) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

135

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) (i) If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, except as the result of a refinancing of the Revolving Commitments, such Lender (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(ii) Except as expressly provided otherwise with respect to Swing Loans and Defaulting Lenders, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Revolving Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (or, if Revolving Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swing Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swing Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) 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.

(c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 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 Purchasing Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

136

Section 11.18 Confidentiality

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (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 purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-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) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (C) any Special Purpose Vehicle that is a grantee of any option described in Section 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations) or to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.2(f) (Certain Pledges) or 11.2(g) (Assignments and Participations), (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.18 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the New Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the New Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be and (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information.

Section 11.19 Judgment Currency

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing any judgment or award in any court, or for making or filing a claim or proof, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking

141

procedures, Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Agent or Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or award in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Agent or Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Lender against such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, such Agent or Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

Section 11.20 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.21 Assumption of New Borrower

(a) The New Borrower hereby expressly confirms that, effective immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, it assumes, and hereby agrees to perform and observe and be bound by, each and every one of the covenants, promises, agreements, terms, obligations, duties and liabilities of (i) the Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document applicable to it as the Borrower and (ii) a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) under the Pledge and Security Agreement.

(b) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, all references to the term “Borrower” in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or

142

in any document or instrument executed and delivered or furnished, or to be executed and delivered or furnished, in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall include, the New Borrower.

(c) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, all references to the term “Grantor” in the Security Agreement or in any document or instrument executed and delivered or furnished, or to be executed and delivered or furnished, in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall include, the New Borrower.

(d) Immediately after the effective time of the Spin, the Initial Borrower shall become a Guarantor and hereby expressly confirms that, immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, it assumes, and hereby agrees to perform and observe and be bound by, each and every one of the covenants, promises, agreements, terms, obligations, duties and liabilities of a Guarantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement.

(e) Substantially simultaneously with, and in no event later than five Business Days (or such longer period of time permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after, the effectiveness of the Spin in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the New Borrower shall become the Borrower hereunder, the Initial Borrower and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the New Borrower that has satisfied the Threshold Amount and is not a Restricted Subsidiary or already a Guarantor shall become Guarantors and shall: (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed and delivered by the New Borrower, the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent with respect to the New Borrower becoming the Borrower hereunder, (B) a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed and delivered by the Initial Borrower and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the New Borrower that has satisfied the Threshold Amount and is not a Restricted Subsidiary or already a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent with respect to such Persons becoming Guarantors; and (C) a reaffirmation agreement from each Guarantor reaffirming such Person’s obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent documents of the types referred to in Section 7.11 (Additional Collateral and Guaranties) and, without the request of the Administrative Agent, legal opinions related the New Borrower in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

FORM OF GLOBAL INTERCOMPANY NOTE

New York, New York

May [    ], 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, J. Ray McDermott, S.A., a Panamanian corporation (the “Initial Borrower and until the effective time of the Spin, the “Borrower”), McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation (the “New Borrower” and immediately after the effective time of the Spin and thereafter, the “Borrower”), and each of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries which is a party (each, a “Payor”) to this Global Intercompany Note (this “Intercompany Note”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay on demand to the order of the Initial Borrower, the New Borrower and each of their Affiliates which is a party to this Intercompany Note as a payee (each, a “Payee”) at such place as such Payee may direct in writing, the principal amount of this Intercompany Note, determined as described below, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by any Payor and any Payee.

This Intercompany Note is the Global Intercompany Note referred to in the Credit Agreement dated May 3, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Initial Borrower, the New Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuers, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and together with its successors, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (in such capacity, and together with its successors, the “Collateral Agent”). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Each Payee by accepting or executing this Intercompany Note agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Intercompany Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Obligations and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under the Pledge and Security Agreement. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Borrower to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Borrower or its property, (i) the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Obligations before any Payee shall be entitled to receive any payment hereunder, and (ii) until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which any Payee would be entitled but for this paragraph shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to holders of the Obligations as their interests may appear.

No Payor (other than, until the effective time of the Spin, the New Borrower) may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note at any time that an Event of Default

G-1

under clauses (a), (b) or (f) of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing unless the Payee is the Borrower or a Guarantor. Except as contemplated by the Spin Steps, no Payor that is the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may pay the principal of or interest on this Intercompany Note (1) to, until the effective time of the Spin, the New Borrower or (2) to any Affiliate of the New Borrower (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) in violation of Section 8.5(e) of the Credit Agreement. If any payment or distribution is made to any Payee that because of this paragraph should not have been made to it or which such Payee is otherwise not entitled to retain under the provisions of this paragraph, such Payee shall hold it in trust for holders of the Obligations and pay it over to the Collateral Agent on their behalf as their interests may appear.

The aggregate principal amount of this Intercompany Note at any time shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and extensions of credit to any Payor by any Payee, as adjusted on a regular basis to reflect any payments made by any Payor in respect of the principal of this Intercompany Note, any additional advances to any Payor from any Payee or any accrued interest which is added to the principal amount hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case, as reflected on the books and records of the applicable Payee. Subject to the third and fourth paragraphs of this Intercompany Note (the “Subordination Provision”), Loans hereunder may be prepaid at the option of the Payor. Principal not paid or prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof shall be payable on the date that is one year after the Revolving Facility Termination Date (the “Maturity Date”).

Subject to the Subordination Provision, payments of interest, if any, on this Intercompany Note shall be payable in the manner separately agreed by the Payor and the Payee.

Subject to the Subordination Provisions, this Intercompany Note shall also be payable in full or in part pursuant to a written demand to a Payor (a “Demand”) from a Payee or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at which time the Payor shall make all payments of the amounts so demanded to the account designated in the Demand on the date specified in the Demand. Following delivery of a Demand, all payments shall be made in accordance with instructions in the Demand. If payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for such payment shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

The obligations of each Payor under this Note shall be absolute and each Payor hereby irrevocably waives any right (whether arising by operation of law or otherwise) to any setoff, counterclaim or reduction of its obligations with respect to any amounts payable under this Intercompany Note based on any claims that such Payor has against each Payee, its affiliates or any other person.

Each Payor hereby waives presentment for payment, demands, notice of dishonor and protest of this Intercompany Note and further agrees that none of its terms or provisions may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as each Payee may consent in a writing duly signed for and on its behalf. No failure or delay on the part of any Payee in exercising any of its rights, powers or privileges hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

G-2

The remedies provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Each Payor also agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by each Payee or its successors and assigns in enforcing this Intercompany Note.

This Intercompany Note is binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns and is for the benefit of each Payee and its successors and assigns, except that the Payor may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Intercompany Note except in connection with a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement. Each Payor hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment by each Payee that is a Grantor (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent of all of its right, title and interest in this Intercompany Note and all collateral security therefor in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement.

Each Payor and each Payee, by its acceptance hereof, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent not to amend, modify or terminate the provisions of, or assign any of their respective rights or obligations under, this Intercompany Note without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as long as any amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the Issuers under the Loan Documents.

EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE HEREBY (A) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE, EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. EACH PAYOR AND EACH PAYEE FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

G-3

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 HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PAYOR OR ANY PAYEE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PAYOR OR ANY PAYEE HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), SUCH PAYOR OR PAYEE (AS THE CASE MAY BE) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

All payments made under this Intercompany Note to holders of the Obligations shall be made in Dollars, and, if for any reason any payment made hereunder is made in a currency other than Dollars (the “Other Currency”), then to the extent that the payment actually received by any Payee when converted into Dollars at the Rate of Exchange (as defined below) on the date of payment (or as soon thereafter as it is practicable for such Payee to purchase Dollars, or, in the case of the liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process of the applicable Payor, at the Rate of Exchange on the latest date permitted by applicable law for the determination of liabilities in such liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy or analogous process) falls short of the amount due hereunder, such Payor shall, as a separate and independent obligation of such Payor, indemnify such Payee and hold such Payee harmless against the amount of such shortfall. As used in this Intercompany Note, the term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the applicable Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase Dollars with the Other Currency and shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars.

This Intercompany Note amends and restates (but does not novate or extinguish) that certain Global Intercompany Note dated as of June 6, 2006, among certain of the Payees and Payors.

THIS INTERCOMPANY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

This LANDLORD WAIVER AND CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [mm/dd/yy] and entered into by [NAME OF LANDLORD] (“Landlord”), to and for the benefit of CRÉDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity “Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, [NAME OF GRANTOR], a [Type of Person] (“Tenant”), has possession of and occupies all or a portion of the property described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Premises”);

WHEREAS, Tenant’s interest in the Premises arises under the lease agreement (the “Lease”) more particularly described on Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which Landlord has rights, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, to take possession of, and otherwise assert control over, the Premises;

WHEREAS, reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated May 3, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed in the Credit Agreement) among J. Ray McDermott, S.A., a Panamanian corporation, McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation, the Lenders, the Issuers and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers, pursuant to which Tenant has executed a security

I-1

agreement and certain other mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt and assignments of rents and leases, and other collateral documents, as applicable, in connection with the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, Borrower’s repayment of the extensions of credit made by the Secured Parties arising under the Credit Agreement and other obligations of Tenant as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, will be secured, in part, by all Inventory (as defined in the UCC) of Tenant (including all Inventory of Tenant now or hereafter located on the Premises (the “Collateral”)); and

WHEREAS, Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement as a condition to the extension of credit to Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Agent as follows:

1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Agent and its successors and assigns any and all rights granted by or under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 1), shall be second and subordinate to the rights of Agent in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises.

2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in connection with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease.

3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and Landlord grants to Agent a license to enter upon and into the Premises to do any or all of the following with respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In entering upon or into the Premises, Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by Agent’s entering upon or into the Premises and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any damage to the Premises made by Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom.

I-2

4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent Agent or its designee from entering upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Agent to that effect. Within the 45 day period after Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 45 day period, Landlord will not remove the Collateral from the Premises nor interfere with Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Agent shall at no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises.

5. Landlord shall send to Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease sent by Landlord to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall send to Agent a copy of any notice received by Landlord of a breach or default under any other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s rights in, or possession of, the Premises.

6. All notices to Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to Agent at its address set forth on the signature page hereof by facsimile, by United States mail, or by overnight delivery service.

7. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received Agent’s written certification that the security interests referenced hereunder have been released.

8. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE.

2.1. Guarantee.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower’s Obligations.

(b) If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.2. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (i) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right under such laws to reduce, or request any judicial relief that has the effect of reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, (ii) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right to enforce the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) or to reduce, or request judicial relief reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, and (iii) the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) may be enforced only to the extent required under such laws in order for the obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement to be enforceable under such laws and only by or for the benefit of a creditor, representative of creditors or bankruptcy trustee of such Guarantor or other Person entitled, under such laws, to enforce the provisions thereof.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower’s Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 2.1(b) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations, subject to the provisions of clause (e) below, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to

-8-

modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower’s Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower’s Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower’s Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower’s Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Hedging Contracts and any Treasury Management Arrangements) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise secured in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement and all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated or have expired.

2.2. Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Grantor or its property:

(a) If such payment is made by the Borrower or from its property, then, if and to the extent such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan or other extension of credit made to the Borrower or a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be entitled (i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property.

(b) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, (i) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrower and (ii) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor that has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) If and whenever (after payment in full of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Grantor against any other Grantor under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), such Grantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Grantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Grantor as set forth in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Grantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of

-9-

subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Grantor, then (after payment in full of the Obligations) the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Grantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Grantors or of the Grantors generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Collateral Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Collateral Agent.

(d) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Grantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, no Grantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Grantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Collateral Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Grantor, it shall be held by such Grantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.

(e) The obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.

(f) Each Grantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Grantor, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c).

(g) All references to “payment in full of the Obligations” in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to refer to such payment after the Commitments have expired or are terminated.

-10-

2.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower’s Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower’s Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Borrower’s Obligations continued, and the Borrower’s Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the parties thereto may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower’s Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower’s Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower’s Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower’s Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower’s Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance, not of collection, without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower’s Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower’s Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower’s Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset,

-11-

or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.5. Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower’s Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party 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 payments had not been made.

2.6. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the office of the Collateral Agent as specified in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; CONTINUING LIABILITY UNDER COLLATERAL.

4.5. Inventory.

(a) On the date hereof, the Inventory of each Grantor (other than Inventory in transit, Inventory located outside the United States and Inventory which in the aggregate does not constitute a material portion of the Inventory included in the Collateral) is kept only at the locations listed on Schedule 4.5.

Schedule 4.7 sets forth under the heading “Pledged Notes” all of the Pledged Notes owned by any Grantor as of the Effective Date, and all of such Pledged Notes have been duly authorized, authenticated or issued, and delivered and are the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuers thereof enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principals of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and constitute all of the issued and outstanding inter-company indebtedness evidenced by an instrument or certificated security of the respective issuers thereof owing to such Grantor.

(b) The shares of Pledged Equity Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of Stock owned by such Grantor in each issuer thereof.

(c) The Pledged Equity Interests have been duly and validly issued and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 hereto, are fully paid and nonassessable (to the extent applicable).

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except Liens expressly permitted by Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity Interests.

-16-

4.9. Intellectual Property.

(a) Schedule 4.9 lists all Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks which are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office or are the subject of an application for registration with any such Governmental Authority, in each case which is owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof (collectively, the “Owned Intellectual Property”). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, such Grantor is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to all material Owned Intellectual Property and is otherwise entitled to grant to others the right to use (and, where applicable, itself use) all such material Owned Intellectual Property. Such Grantor has a valid and enforceable right to use all Intellectual Property used by, or licensed to others by, such Grantor which is not Owned Intellectual Property (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”), in each case, which is material to such Grantor’s business, pursuant to one of the written material Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses, and/or Trade Secret Licenses listed on Schedule 4.9 and subject to the terms thereof.

(b) On the date hereof all Owned Intellectual Property and all Licensed Intellectual Property, in each case, which is material to such Grantor’s business (collectively, the “Material Intellectual Property”), is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable and has not been abandoned. The operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe, constitute a misappropriation of, dilute, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property of any other Person where the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No claim has been asserted that the use of the Material Intellectual Property does or may infringe upon or constitute a misappropriation of the rights of any other Person.

(d) To such Grantor’s knowledge, no decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator in the United States or outside the United States which would materially limit or cancel the validity or enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property. Such Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Material Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable including unauthorized trademark uses by third parties and uses which were not supported by the goodwill of the business connected with Trademarks and Trademark Licenses.

(e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened, on the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or invalidate any Owned Intellectual Property, (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold by such Grantor infringe any patent, trademark, copyright, or misappropriate any trade secret or violate any other right of any other Person, or (iii) alleging that any Material Intellectual Property is being licensed or sublicensed in violation of any intellectual property or any other right of any other Person, in each case, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes

-17-

upon or misappropriates, or is otherwise an unauthorized use of, any Material Intellectual Property. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the termination of any of the Material Intellectual Property.

(f) With respect to each Copyright License, Trademark License, Trade Secret License and Patent License which license constitutes Material Intellectual Property or the loss of which could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) such license is binding and enforceable against the other party thereto; (ii) such license will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interests granted herein (including, but not limited to, the enforceability of such rights and interests with respect to each such license), nor will the grant of such rights and interests (or the enforceability thereof) constitute a breach or default under such license or otherwise give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such license; (iii) such Grantor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iv) such Grantor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach or default has not been cured; and (v) such Grantor is not in breach or default in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such license.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, such Grantor has made all filings and recordations and paid all required fees and taxes to maintain each and every item of registered Material Intellectual Property in full force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein.

(h) To the knowledge of such Grantor, (i) none of the Trade Secrets that constitute Material Intellectual Property have been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of such Grantor for the benefit of any other Person without permission of such Grantor; and (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor has misappropriated any Trade Secrets of any other Person in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor where the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Such Grantor has taken commercially reasonable steps to exercise quality control over any licensee of such Grantor’s Trademarks.

4.10. UCC Letters of Credit and UCC Letter of Credit Rights. With respect to any UCC Letters of Credit that are by their terms transferable, each Grantor will, upon receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all issuers and nominated Persons under UCC Letters of Credit in which the Grantor is the beneficiary or assignee to (a) consent to the assignment of such UCC Letter of Credit to the Collateral Agent and (b) agree that, upon receipt of written notice received from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, it shall cause all payments thereunder to be made to the Collateral Account. With respect to any UCC Letters of Credit that are not transferable, each Grantor shall, upon receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of

-18-

the issuer thereof and any nominated Person thereon to the assignment of the proceeds of such released UCC Letter of Credit to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New York UCC.

4.11. Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, Schedule 4.11 hereto sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims of each Grantor that, to each such Grantor’s knowledge, has a value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000.

4.12. Contracts. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Contract that is included in the Collateral which has a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent or constitutes Electronic Chattel Paper that is not under the “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the New York UCC) of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained herein to the contrary, the failure of any Grantor to deliver to the Collateral Agent the original Certificated Securities, Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper described on Schedule 4.12 shall not constitute a breach, Default or an Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 5. COVENANTS.

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that, as of the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms:

5.1. Covenants in Credit Agreement.

Each Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is within its control and is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.2. Delivery and Control of Instruments, Chattel Paper, Negotiable Documents and Investment Property.

(a) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become evidenced or represented by any Instrument, Certificated Security, Negotiable Document or Tangible Chattel Paper, such Instrument (other than checks received in the ordinary course of business), Certificated Security, Negotiable Documents or Tangible Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of such property owned by any Grantor as of the Effective Date and represented in such form shall be delivered on the Effective Date.

(b) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become Electronic Chattel Paper such Grantor shall ensure that (i) a single authoritative copy shall exist which is unique, identifiable, unalterable (except as provided in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of this paragraph), (ii) such authoritative copy identifies the Collateral Agent as the assignee and is communicated to

-19-

and maintained by the Collateral Agent or its designee, (iii) copies or revisions that add or change the assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of the Collateral Agent, (iv) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy and not the authoritative copy and (v) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

(c) If any Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become an Uncertificated Security, such Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof, if such issuer is a Subsidiary of the Borrower, either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security, upon original issue or registration of transfer or (ii) to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such Uncertificated Security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, and such actions shall be taken on or prior to the Effective Date with respect to any such Uncertificated Securities owned as of the Effective Date by any Grantor.

(d) If any of the Collateral is or shall become evidenced or represented by a Commodity Contract having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, such Grantor shall, upon receipt of written request from the Collateral Agent, cause the Commodity Intermediary with respect to such Commodity Contract to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such Commodity Intermediary will apply any value distributed on account of such Commodity Contract as directed by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(e) In addition to and not in lieu of the foregoing, if any issuer of any Investment Property is a Mortgaged Vessel Owning Subsidiary of the Borrower and is organized under the law of, or has its chief executive office in, a jurisdiction outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take such additional actions, including causing such issuer to register the pledge on its books and records, as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, under the laws of such jurisdiction to insure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent.

(f) In the case of any transferable UCC Letters of Credit in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any issuer thereof to the transfer of such UCC Letters of Credit to the Collateral Agent. In the case of any other UCC Letter of Credit Rights in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the issuer thereof and any nominated Person thereon to the assignment of the proceeds of the related UCC Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New York UCC.

To the extent applicable, the Collateral Agent shall be named as additional insured on all such liability insurance policies of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent shall be named as loss payee on all property and casualty insurance policies of such Grantor.

5.4. Payment of Obligations.

Such Grantor shall pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such tax, assessment or charge need be paid if (i) the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein, or (ii) the failure to so pay and discharge would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5. Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall maintain each of the security interests created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest under the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the United States and of any state (including the District of Columbia), territory or possession thereof, having at least the priority described in Section 4.3 and shall defend such security interest against any claims and demands of any Persons (other than the Secured Parties), subject to the provisions of Section 8.15.

5.6. Changes in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, etc. Such Grantor shall not, except upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period consented to by the Collateral Agent in writing) to the Collateral Agent and delivery to the Collateral Agent of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

(a) change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.4; or

(b) change its legal name, identity or structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading;

-22-

Pledged Equity Interests in any issuer thereof, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and promptly deliver the same to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or similar instrument of transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer thereof shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations if an Event of Default then exists, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Securities pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, if an Event of Default then exists, and unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be received by such Grantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer of Pledged Securities to issue any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature of any such issuer (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or any Lien expressly permitted thereon pursuant to Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement, (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (v) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the New York UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership

-23-

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Securities, such Grantor agrees that (i) it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and shall comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.8(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 6.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an issuer or an owner of any Pledged Security hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Security to the Collateral Agent or its nominee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a partner, member or shareholder of the issuer of the related Pledged Security.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.

6.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall in no way be obligated), at its own expense if an Event of Default does not then exist, to make test

-27-

verifications of the Receivables that are included in the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.

(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Receivable and any Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own expense. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Collateral Agent’s request but subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables that are included in the Collateral, including original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts that constitute Collateral

(b) The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable or Contract that constitutes Collateral of the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under such Receivables and Contracts directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts that constitutes Collateral to

-28-

observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3. Pledged Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate and other ownership (or other similar) rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(b): (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights; (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor (where permitted by applicable law), any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property to its name or the name of its nominee or agent; and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

-29-

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon any such instruction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property, including Pledged Securities, directly to the Collateral Agent.

6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent.

In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall, if requested in writing by the Collateral Agent, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 6.6) constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:

First, to the Collateral Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;

Second, as set forth in Section 2.13(f) (Payments and Computations) of the Credit Agreement.

6.6. Code and Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected

-30-

Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process.

-31-

(b) The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amounts required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by any Secured Party of any rights hereunder.

(c) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall, to the extent commercially reasonable and feasible under the circumstances, supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

6.7. Private Sales, etc.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any

-32-

portion of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment.

6.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any outside attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT.

7.1. Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms

-33-

of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

-34-

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2. Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

7.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, without the signature of such Grantor, in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or as “all assets,” “all personal property” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether or not the Collateral includes all assets or all personal property of such Grantor, or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable that is of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall, where permitted by applicable law, be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

-35-

7.4. Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.5. Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any applicable requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent).

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, subject to any consents required under Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in a written instrument executed by such Agent.

8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 8.2.

8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

-36-

8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to each Secured Party and outside counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 11.4 (Indemnities) of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their permitted successors and assigns; provided that, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

8.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time, while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any

-37-

demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties 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. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

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

8.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10. Integration. This Agreement, together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and documents delivered hereunder or thereunder, embodies the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

8.12. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid

-38-

courts, except that the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties may bring legal action or proceedings in other appropriate jurisdictions with respect to the enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that such Grantor may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions;

(b) consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or to the Borrower at its address specified in Section 8.2. Each Grantor 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;

(c) agrees that nothing contained in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Grantor in any other jurisdiction;

(d) to the extent that such Grantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution or otherwise), hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

8.13. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.

8.14. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.11 (Additional Collateral and Guaranties) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor and a Guarantor for all purposes of this Agreement

-39-

upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

8.15. Releases

(a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations that the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable shall have been paid in full, the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated or expired and each Letter of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement has been cash collateralized, back-stopped or secured to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuers or no longer outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Pledged Equity Interests in such Guarantor shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least three Business Days (or such lesser period permitted in writing by the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for such release identifying the relevant Guarantor and the terms of the relevant sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Release Date and in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby.

(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Sections 9-509(d)(2) and 9-518 of the New York UCC.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

This CREDIT AGREEMENT is entered into as of May 3, 2010, among BABCOCK & WILCOX INVESTMENT COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, as the borrower hereunder (or, after the effectiveness of the Spinoff (defined below) and the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions herein relating to the substitution thereof, the New Borrower (defined below) as the borrower hereunder), each lender from time to time party hereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer.

The Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide a revolving credit facility, and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS

1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Administrative Agent” means Bank of America in its capacity as administrative agent under any of the Loan Documents, or any successor administrative agent.

“Administrative Agent’s Office” means the Administrative Agent’s address and, as appropriate, account as set forth on Schedule 10.02 or such other address or account as the Administrative Agent may from time to time notify to the Borrower and the Lenders.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2 or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or that is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, each officer, director or general partner of such Person, and each Person that is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of Voting Stock of such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” means the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

“Affiliate Agreements” means, collectively, the agreements listed on Schedule 1.01(a) hereto.

“Aggregate Commitments” means the Commitments of all the Lenders. As of the Closing Date, the Aggregate Commitments shall equal $700,000,000.

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement.

“Alternative Currency” means (a) with respect to Existing Letters of Credit, the currencies (other than Dollars) in which such Letters of Credit are issued (but only with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit), and (b) with respect to any other Letters of Credit, those currencies (other than Dollars) that are approved by the L/C Issuer issuing such Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 1.06.

“Alternative Currency Equivalent” means, at any time, with respect to any amount denominated in Dollars, the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined in respect of the most recent Revaluation Date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars.

“Alternative Currency Sublimit” means an amount equal to the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and $100,000,000. The Alternative Currency Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the Aggregate Commitments.

“Applicable Percentage” means with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment at such time, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. If the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and the obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.02 or if the Aggregate Commitments have expired, then the Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Lender most recently in effect, giving effect to any subsequent assignments. The initial Applicable Percentage of each Lender is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable.

“Applicable Rate” means, from time to time, the following percentages per annum, based upon the Debt Rating as set forth below:

Applicable Rate
Pricing Level	Debt Ratings S&P/Moody’s	Commitment Fee		Eurocurrency Rate/ Financial Letter of Credit Fees		Base Rate		Performance Letter of Credit Fees / Commercial Letter of Credit Fees

5	BB-/Ba3 or lower	0.625	%	3.500	%	2.500	%	1.750	%

-2-

“Debt Rating” means, as of any date of determination, the rating as determined by either S&P or Moody’s (collectively, the “Debt Ratings”) of the credit facilities established pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (a) if the respective Debt Ratings issued by the foregoing rating agencies differ by one level, then the Pricing Level for the higher of such Debt Ratings shall apply (with the Debt Rating for Pricing Level 1 being the highest and the Debt Rating for Pricing Level 5 being the lowest); (b) if there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one level, then the Pricing Level that is one level lower than the Pricing Level of the higher Debt Rating shall apply; (c) if the Borrower has only one Debt Rating, the Pricing Level that is one level lower than that of such Debt Rating shall apply; (d) if the Borrower does not have any Debt Rating (other than as a result of the circumstances described in clause (e) below), Pricing Level 5 shall apply; and (e) if the Borrower does not have a Debt Rating because S&P or Moody’s cease to exist or cease to provide such ratings, the Borrower and the Lenders will negotiate in good faith to agree to a substitute rating agency or rating service, or otherwise to adjust the pricing grid set forth above to address such situation, but until agreement is reached, the applicable Debt Rating of the rating agency that either ceased to exist or ceased providing ratings shall be the last Debt Rating provided by such rating agency. Initially, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon the Debt Rating specified in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ix). Thereafter, each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from an announced change in the Debt Rating shall be effective during the period commencing on the date of the announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

“Applicable Time” means, with respect to any borrowings and payments in any Alternative Currency, the local time in the place of settlement for such Alternative Currency as may be determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to be necessary for timely settlement on the relevant date in accordance with normal banking procedures in the place of payment.

1.03 Accounting Terms.

-36-

(a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Historical Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(c) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the determination of any amount for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the Borrower is required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein.

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

1.05 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a) The applicable L/C Issuer shall determine the Spot Rates (and notify the Administrative Agent of the same) as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of L/C Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the

-37-

Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

1.06 Alternative Currencies.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that one or more L/C Issuers issue and maintain Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars. Any such request shall be subject to the approval of the L/C Issuer that will be issuing Letters of Credit in such currency.

(b) Any such request shall be made by the Borrower to one or more L/C Issuers not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days prior to the date of the desired issuance of a Letter of Credit in such currency (or such other time or date as may be agreed by any such L/C Issuer, in its sole discretion).

(c) If any L/C Issuer consents to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, such L/C Issuer shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by each such approving L/C Issuer (but not by any L/C Issuer not approving such currency).

(d) Prior to the Closing Date, each L/C Issuer may agree with the Borrower to issue Letters of Credit in particular currencies (other than Dollars) immediately upon, and at all times after, the Closing Date, and each L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the currencies (other than Dollars) approved by such L/C Issuer prior to or on the Closing Date.

1.07 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.08 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

ARTICLE II.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower in Dollars (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (a) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (b) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

(a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans; provided that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or four Business Days in the case of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”) , the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the

-39-

Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice for Borrowing of any Committed Loan requested in a Committed Loan Notice that was received prior to the Business Day specified for such Borrowing in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and (ii) 3:00 p.m. in the case of any Borrowing of a Committed Loan requested in a Committed Loan Notice that was received on the same Business Day as the Business Day specified for Borrowing in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the

-40-

Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies applicable to such L/C Issuer for the account of any Permitted L/C Party, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Permitted L/C Party and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (v) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of one or more Affiliates of the Borrower that will not be Joint Ventures or Subsidiaries of the Borrower after the Spinoff does not exceed $22,000,000 at any time outstanding, (w) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations of any L/C Issuer shall not exceed the L/C Issuer Sublimit of such L/C Issuer; provided further that after the date that is three months after the Closing Date, no Letters of Credit shall be issued for the account of any Affiliate of the Borrower that is not at such time a Joint Venture or a Subsidiary of the Borrower. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

-41-

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is seven Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (each such issued Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”) unless the applicable L/C Issuer has approved such later expiry date, it being acknowledged and agreed that each such Extended Letter of Credit shall be Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 6.28.

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

(D) except as otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency applicable to such L/C Issuer;

(E) such L/C Issuer does not, as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit, issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency; or

(F) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

-42-

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers or any of them.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) whether such requested Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit, a Financial Letter of Credit or a commercial Letter of Credit; (H) the Permitted L/C Party for whom such Letter of Credit is to be issued; and (I) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such

-43-

requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Permitted L/C Party or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once prior to the then applicable expiration date of such Letter of Credit (without giving effect to the next ensuing extension thereof) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit such extensions of such Letter of Credit; provided that if any such extension results in any such Letter of Credit becoming an Extended Letter of Credit the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral therefor in accordance with Section 6.28; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

-44-

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

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of any draw under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit that has been drawn upon the amount of all draws thereunder, in Dollars (or the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency), no later than (x) the Business Day on which the L/C Issuer has provided notice thereof to the Borrower if such notice has been provided prior to 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, or (y) no later than 10:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives such notice from such L/C Issuer if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 a.m. on such day (each such date, an “Honor Date”), and such L/C Issuer shall provide prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of such reimbursement. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Honor Date and the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the Administrative Agent shall provide such notice, along with the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, to each Lender. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

-45-

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

-47-

beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

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

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

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid, but only to the extent not prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law.

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

-48-

purporting to transfer or assign a 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.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to the limitations with respect to Defaulting Lenders set forth in the proviso below) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for commercial Letters of Credit times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for such type (Financial Letter of Credit or Performance Letter of Credit) of such Letter of Credit times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (but in each case, excluding from the calculation thereof any portion of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(a) as a result of any Defaulting Lender during the period such portion is so Cash Collateralized); provided that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit (or portion thereof) as to which neither the Borrower nor such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 or Section 2.15(a) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed to between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment

-49-

of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter or otherwise agreed between such L/C Issuer and the Borrower, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee with respect to standby Letters of Credit shall be due and payable on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the then-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Such fronting fee with respect to commercial Letters of Credit shall be due and payable as provided in subparts (i) and (ii) above. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

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

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Joint Ventures. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Permitted L/C Party other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Permitted L/C Parties other than the Borrower inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Permitted L/C Parties.

(l) Additional L/C Issuers. In addition to Bank of America and each L/C Issuer listed on the signature pages hereto as an “L/C Issuer,” the Borrower may from time to time, with notice to the Lenders and the consent of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender being so appointed, appoint additional Lenders to be L/C Issuers hereunder, provided that the total number of L/C Issuers at any time shall not exceed six Lenders (or such larger number of additional Lenders as the Administrative Agent may agree to permit from time to time, it being understood the Administrative Agent has consented to The Bank of Nova Scotia being a seventh L/C Issuer as of the Closing Date solely with respect to its Existing Letters of Credit hereunder). Upon the appointment of a Lender as an L/C Issuer hereunder such Person shall become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder.

(m) Removal of L/C Issuers. The Borrower may at any time remove Bank of America or any L/C Issuer that is appointed pursuant to subpart (l) above, if (but only if) such Person is at such time a Defaulting Lender, in each such case upon not less than 30 days prior notice to such L/C Issuer; provided that such removed L/C Issuer shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges

-50-

and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its removal as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the removal of a Lender as an L/C Issuer hereunder, the Borrower may, or at the request of such removed L/C Issuer the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such removed L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such removal, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the removed L/C Issuer to effectively cause another L/C Issuer to assume the obligations of the removed L/C Issuer with respect to any such Letters of Credit.

(n) Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Issuer Sublimit. At any time that there is more than one L/C Issuer, then on (i) the last Business Day of each calendar month, and (ii) each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any Letter of Credit, each L/C Issuer (or, in the case of part (ii), the applicable L/C Issuer) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer that is outstanding hereunder, including any auto-renewal or termination of auto-renewal provisions in such Letter of Credit. In addition, each L/C Issuer shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Issuer Sublimit, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an L/C Issuer or making any change to its L/C Issuer Sublimit. No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.03(n) shall limit the obligation of the Borrower or any Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.03.

(o) Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit. If the Borrower has fully Cash Collateralized the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 6.28 and the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer have made arrangements between them with respect to the pricing and fees associated therewith (each such Extended Letter of Credit a “Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit”), then on the day that is 91 days after the date of notice to the Administrative Agent thereof by the applicable L/C Issuer (so long as such Cash Collateral has remained in place for the entirety of such 91-day period), and for so long as such Cash Collateral remains in place (i) such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” hereunder, (ii) such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall not constitute utilization of the Aggregate Commitments, (iii) no Lender shall have any further obligation to fund participations, L/C Borrowings or Committed Loans to reimburse any drawing under any such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, (iv) no Letter of Credit Fee shall be due or payable to the Lenders, or any of them, hereunder with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, and (v) any fronting fee, issuance fee or other fee with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit shall be as agreed separately between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

-52-

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-53-

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of

-54-

$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Total Outstandings at such time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (c) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (d) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

-55-

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. A notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Aggregate Commitments that the refinancing condition has not been met and the termination is to be revoked, provided that the Borrower will continue to be responsible for any costs or expenses pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with the failure to prepay Loans resulting from such revocation.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to the Borrower outstanding on such date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date 10 Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

-56-

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.16(a)(iii)(x) with respect to Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the third Business Day after the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All

-57-

other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Promptly after the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent or

-58-

the applicable L/C Issuer after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to (A) 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing if such Committed Borrowing is to be made on a Business Day other than the date the Administrative Agent received the applicable Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing and (B) 2:00 p.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing if such Committed Borrowing is to be made on the same Business Day as the date the Administrative Agent received the applicable Commitment Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the

-59-

Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

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

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

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

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

-60-

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.15, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

2.14 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments (which increase may take the form of one or more new revolving loan tranches) by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $150,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests (excluding any such requests that are not consummated). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment, and no Lender has any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become

-61-

Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (i) if any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize such L/C Borrowing and, if requested by such L/C Issuer, all other Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing (unless otherwise agreed by the depositary) deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent or the relevant

-62-

L/C Issuer, as applicable. To the extent provided by the Borrower, the Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the relevant L/C Issuer or to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), as applicable, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or

-63-

otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing (unless otherwise agreed by the depositary) deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that 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 L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed

-64-

without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that 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.

2.17 Borrower Succession. Upon the effectiveness of the Spinoff in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 6.24 hereof, the New Borrower shall replace the Original Borrower as the Borrower hereunder, and all references herein to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to be references to the New Borrower.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Requirements of Law require such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Requirements of Law as determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

-65-

(ii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made.

(iii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Requirements of Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Requirements of Law, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Requirements of Law, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Requirements of Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made.

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

(c) Tax Indemnifications.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, with respect to the Obligations hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not

-66-

such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Loan Parties are not indemnifying any Person for Excluded Taxes.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or imposed or asserted against any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted, as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly

-67-

completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(IV) 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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-

-68-

8BEN, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Requirements of Law of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Requirements of Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes or a direct offset against its Tax liabilities as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly after such determination pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) or such direct offset (but only to the extent of the net Tax benefit obtained by it as a result of such payment by the applicable Loan Party), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the

-69-

Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

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

-70-

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e), other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

-71-

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

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

(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

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

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

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

-72-

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount of any such loss or expense provided for in this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

-93-

reasonable based upon the circumstances) of any property currently owned, leased, operated or used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, if (x) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (y) the Administrative Agent reasonably believes (1) that an occurrence relating to such property is likely to give rise to any Environmental Liabilities and Costs or (2) that a violation of an Environmental Law on or around such property has occurred or is likely to occur, which could, in either such case, reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000, provided that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such consultant shall not drill on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries without the Borrower’s prior written consent.

Any such investigation of any property shall be conducted, unless otherwise agreed to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent, during normal business hours and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations at any such property or to cause any damage or loss at such property. Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any report of any investigation conducted at the request of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection will be obtained and shall be used by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purposes of the Lenders’ internal credit decisions, to monitor the Obligations and to protect the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree any such report will be kept confidential by them to the extent permitted by law except as provided in the following sentence.

(c) Promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent in writing and in reasonable detail of (i) any Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants required to be reported by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, to any Governmental Authorities under any applicable Environmental Laws and which would reasonably be expected to have Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000, (ii) any and all written communications with respect to any pending or threatened claims under Environmental Law in each such case which, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000, (iii) any Remedial Action performed by Borrower or any other Person in response to (x) any Contaminants on, under or about any property, the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000, or (y) any other Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000 that could result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000, (iv) discovery by Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any occurrence or condition on any material property that could

-94-

cause Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ interest in any such property to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws or Environmental Liens, and (v) any written request for information from any Governmental Authority that fairly suggests such Governmental Authority is investigating whether Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for a Release or threatened Release of Contaminants which has a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000.

(d) Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any proposed acquisition of Stock, assets, or property by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $10,000,000 and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to commence manufacturing, industrial or other similar operations that would reasonably be expected to subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to additional Environmental Laws, that are materially different from the Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

(e) Borrower shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this subsection.

(f) To the extent required by Environmental Laws or Governmental Authorities under applicable Environmental Laws, Borrower shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all necessary Remedial Action in connection with the presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on, under or affecting any property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and Permits. In the event Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries undertakes any Remedial Action with respect to the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on or affecting any property, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall conduct and complete such Remedial Action in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and in material accordance with the applicable policies, orders and directives of all relevant Governmental Authorities except when, and only to the extent that, Borrower or any such Subsidiaries’ liability for such presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants is being contested in good faith by Borrower or any of such Subsidiaries. In the event Borrower fails to take required actions to address such Release or threatened Release of Contaminants or to address a violation of or liability under Environmental Law, the Administrative Agent may, upon providing the Borrower with 5 Business Days’ prior written notice, enter the property and, at Borrower’s sole expense, perform whatever action the Administrative Agent reasonably deems prudent to rectify the situation.

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuers arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

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

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall

-115-

be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the applicable L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and as the Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender and, unless the Borrower elects not to have such Person serve in such capacity, a retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the L/C Issuers hereunder (including such successor, if applicable) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank, and on behalf of their Affiliates in such capacities) and each L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements either (x) as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management

-117-

Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made or (y) notice has not been received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that such amounts are then due and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) in connection with the release of the Collateral provided in Section 10.19(a), or (iv) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Instruments or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Security Instrument shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) and, to the extent provided in the Commitment Letter, each Arranger, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by each L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of

-123-

pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Contaminants on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) are solely between or among Indemnified Parties (other than the Administrative Agent acting in such capacity), or (z) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay (and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower so to pay) any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the applicable L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the

-124-

Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

-125-

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, other than as permitted and required by Sections 2.17 and 6.24, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

-126-

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C) the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

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

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person, or (D) to any competitor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is primarily engaged in an Eligible Line of Business and that has been previously identified as such by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be

-127-

effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Requirements of Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection

-128-

by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America or any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans

-129-

pursuant to subsection (b) above, then (i) Bank of America or such other L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America or the applicable L/C Issuer as an L/C Issuer or of Bank of America as the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.

(ii) If Bank of America or any other L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer with respect to such resigning L/C Issuer (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and (y) such successor L/C Issuer (or another of the L/C Issuers, as may be arranged by the Borrower) shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the resigning L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession, or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America or such other resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or such other resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. The provisions of subparts (g)(i) and (g)(ii) of this Section shall not limit the ability of the Borrower to appoint and remove L/C Issuers pursuant to Sections 2.03(l) and (m).

(iii) If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in

-130-

connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is (i) available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or (ii) is clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” by the Borrower, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the page thereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledge that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries perform classified contracts funded by or for the benefit of the United States Federal government and, accordingly, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary will be obligated to release, disclose or otherwise make available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer any classified or special nuclear material to any parties not in possession of a valid security clearance and authorized by the appropriate agency of the United States Federal government to receive such material. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agree that in connection with any exercise of a right or remedy the United States Federal government may remove classified information or government-issued property prior to any remedial action implicating such classified information or government-issued property. Upon notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall take such steps in accordance with this Agreement as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower to enable the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof to comply with the Foreign Ownership Control or Influence requirements of the United States Federal government imposed from time to time.

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

-131-

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate 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 other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts

-132-

hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is subject to replacement pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10.01, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any

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

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

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

10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.

10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

10.18 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

10.19 Release and Reinstatement of Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document executed in connection herewith, if at any time (including after a Collateral Reinstatement Event shall have occurred) a Collateral Release Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then all Collateral (other than Cash Collateral) and the Security Instruments (other than Security Instruments entered into in connection with Cash Collateral) shall be released automatically and terminated without any further action. In connection with the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, at Borrower’s expense and at the Borrower’s request, promptly execute and file in the appropriate location and deliver to Borrower such termination and full or partial release statements or confirmation thereof, as applicable, and do such other

-136-

things as are reasonably necessary to release the liens to be released pursuant hereto promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if a Collateral Reinstatement Event shall have occurred all Collateral and Security Instruments shall, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, be reinstated and all actions reasonably necessary, or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to provide to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties valid, perfected, first priority security interests in the Collateral (including without limitation the delivery of documentation and taking of actions of the type described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 6.22) shall be taken within 30 days of such event, which 30 day period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

8

3.2. Title; No Other Liens. Such Grantor owns or licenses or otherwise has the right to use each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens, including Liens arising as a result of such Grantor becoming bound (as a result of merger or otherwise) as grantor under a security agreement entered into by another Person, except for Liens expressly permitted by Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement. No effective financing statement, mortgage or other public notice indicating the existence of a Lien with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are expressly permitted by Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

3.3. Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3.3 (all of which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in duly completed and duly executed form, as applicable, and may be filed by the Administrative Agent at any time) and payment of all filing fees, will constitute valid fully perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent such security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by (i) the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, (ii) the filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office of an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, or (iii) the possession of such Collateral, and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral, except for Liens expressly permitted by Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Receivable that is included in the Collateral (i) is and will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor in respect thereof, representing an unsatisfied obligation of such Account Debtor, (ii) is and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principals of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (iii) is not and will not be subject to any setoffs, defenses, taxes or counterclaims (except with respect to refunds, returns and allowances in the ordinary course of business) and (iv) is and will be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, except where the failure to comply with this Section 3.8(b) with respect to each Receivable would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.9. Intellectual Property.

(a) Schedule 3.9(a) lists all Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks which are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office or are the subject of an application for registration with any such Governmental Authority, in each case which is owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof (collectively, the “Owned Intellectual Property”). Except as set forth in Schedule 3.9(a), such Grantor is the exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to all material Owned Intellectual Property and is otherwise entitled to grant to others the right to use (and, where applicable, itself use) all such material Owned Intellectual Property. Such Grantor has a valid and enforceable right to use all material Intellectual Property used by, or licensed to others by, such Grantor which is not Owned Intellectual Property either pursuant to one of the written material Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses, and/or Trade Secret Licenses listed on Schedule 3.9(a) and subject to the terms thereof (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”) or otherwise.

11

(b) On the date hereof all Owned Intellectual Property and all Licensed Intellectual Property, in each case, which is material to such Grantor’s business (collectively, the “Material Intellectual Property”), is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable and has not been abandoned. The operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe, constitute a misappropriation of, dilute, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person where the same would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No claim has been asserted that the use of the Material Intellectual Property does or may infringe upon or constitute a misappropriation of the rights of any other Person.

(d) To such Grantor’s knowledge, no decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator in the United States or outside the United States which would materially limit or cancel the validity or enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Material Intellectual Property. Such Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Material Intellectual Property that could reasonably be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable including unauthorized trademark uses by third parties and uses which were not supported by the goodwill of the business connected with Trademarks and Trademark Licenses.

(e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened, on the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or invalidate any Owned Intellectual Property, (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold by such Grantor infringe any Patent, Trademark, Copyright, or misappropriate any Trade Secret or violate any other right of any other Person, or (iii) alleging that any Material Intellectual Property (A) owned by such Grantor or (B) licensed by such Grantor (to such Grantor’s knowledge), is being licensed or sublicensed in violation of any intellectual property or any other right of any other Person, in each case, which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no Person is engaging in any activity that infringes upon or misappropriates, or is otherwise an unauthorized use of, any Material Intellectual Property owned by Grantor. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not result in the termination of any of the Material Intellectual Property.

(f) With respect to each Copyright License, Trademark License, Trade Secret License and Patent License which license constitutes Material Intellectual Property or the loss of which could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) such license is binding and enforceable against the other party thereto; (ii) such license will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interests granted herein (including, but not limited to, the enforceability of such rights and interests with respect to each such license), nor will the grant of such rights and interests (or the enforceability thereof) constitute a breach or default under such license or otherwise give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such license; (iii) such Grantor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iv) such Grantor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach or default has not been cured; and (v) such Grantor is not in breach or default in any material respect, and no event has occurred

12

that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such license.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9(g), such Grantor has made all filings and recordations and paid all required fees and taxes to maintain each and every item of registered Material Intellectual Property in full force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein.

(h) To the knowledge of such Grantor, (i) none of the Trade Secrets that constitute Material Intellectual Property of such Grantor have been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of such Grantor for the benefit of any other Person without permission of such Grantor; and (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor has misappropriated any Trade Secrets of any other Person in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor where the same would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Such Grantor has taken commercially reasonable steps to exercise quality control over any licensee of such Grantor’s Trademarks.

3.10. Commercial Tort Claims. No Grantor has knowledge that it has any Commercial Tort Claims as of the date hereof individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000, except as set forth on Schedule 3.10.

3.11. Contracts. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Contract which has a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent or constitutes Electronic Chattel Paper that is not under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the New York UCC) of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 4. COVENANTS

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Secured Parties that, as of the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms:

4.1. Covenants in Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is within its control and is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.2. Delivery and Control of Instruments, Chattel Paper, Negotiable Documents and Investment Property.

(a) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become evidenced or represented by any Instrument, Certificated Security, Negotiable Document or Tangible Chattel Paper, such Instrument (other than checks received in the ordinary course of business), Certificated Security, Negotiable Documents or Tangible Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as

13

Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, and all of such property owned by any Grantor as of the Closing Date and represented in such form shall be delivered on the Closing Date.

(b) If any of the Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become “Electronic Chattel Paper” such Grantor shall ensure that (i) a single authoritative copy shall exist which is unique, identifiable, unalterable (except as provided in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of this paragraph), (ii) such authoritative copy identifies the Administrative Agent as the assignee and is communicated to and maintained by the Administrative Agent or its designee, (iii) copies or revisions that add or change the assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of the Administrative Agent, (iv) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy and that is not the authoritative copy; (v) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision, and (vi) the Administrative Agent has “control” within the meaning of the New York UCC of such Electronic Chattel Paper.

(c) If any Collateral having a value in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate is or shall become an Uncertificated Security, such Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof, if such issuer is a Subsidiary of the Borrower, either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security, upon original issue or registration of transfer or (ii) to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such Uncertificated Security originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent of such Grantor and such actions shall be taken on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any such Uncertificated Securities owned as of the Closing Date by any Grantor and the Grantor shall take or cause to be taken all such other actions as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent to have “control” defined in Article 8 of the New York UCC.

To the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent shall be named as additional insured on all such liability insurance policies of such Grantor and the Administrative Agent shall be named as loss payee (and, where applicable, mortgagee) on all property and casualty insurance policies of such Grantor.

4.4. Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor shall pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes,

14

assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such tax, assessment or charge need be paid if (a) the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein, or (b) the failure to so pay and discharge would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5. Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

4.6. Changes in Locations, Name, Jurisdiction of Incorporation, etc. Such Grantor shall not, except upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing), in each case, to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of duly authorized and, where required, executed copies of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

(a) change its legal name, jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 3.4; or

15

(b) change its legal name, identity or structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading; provided, however, that no such notices shall be required in connection with the Spinoff so long as (i) the Grantors comply with each of their respective obligations under Sections 6.22 and 6.24 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) such notice is given to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the applicable event necessitating such notice.

4.7. Notices. Such Grantor shall advise the Administrative Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

(b) the occurrence of any other event of which such Grantor becomes aware that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby; and

(c) the acquisition or ownership by any Grantor of any aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, aircraft lease or any other related property with a value in excess of $3,000,000 individually or in the aggregate.

4.8. Investment Property.

(a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock or other ownership certificate (including any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of Stock and Stock Equivalents in any issuer thereof, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Securities, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received (other than Excluded Stock), duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power or similar instrument of transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Administrative Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations if an Event of Default then exists, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Securities pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, if an Event of Default then exists, and unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the

16

Pledged Securities shall be received by such Grantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer of Pledged Securities to issue any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity securities of any nature of any such issuer (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein (except, in each case, pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement or any Lien expressly permitted thereon pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (v) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer of any Pledged LLC/Partnership Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the New York UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged LLC/Partnership Interests to be treated as Securities for purposes of the New York UCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if any issuer of any Pledged LLC/Partnership Interests takes any such action in violation of the provisions in this clause (v) or any non-Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer takes any of the foregoing actions, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” thereof.

(c) In the case of each Grantor which is an issuer of Pledged Securities, such issuer agrees that (i) it shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and shall comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.8(a) with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 5.3(c) and 5.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 5.3(c) or 5.7 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an issuer or an owner of any Pledged Security hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Security to the Administrative Agent or its nominee following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a partner, member or shareholder of the issuer of the related Pledged Security.

(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees), subject to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, taking into account the Secured Parties’ interests under this Agreement, shall not (and shall not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of Copyrights owned by such Grantor and material to its business may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor shall not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

(d) Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows or suspects that any application or registration relating to any Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination (including the institution of, or any such determination in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any such Material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(e) Promptly after such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property that is material to the business of such Grantor with the United States Patent and

SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

5.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right (but shall in no way be obligated), at its own expense if an Event of Default does not then exist, to make test verifications of the Receivables that are included in the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.

(b) Subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent under Section 5.2(b), each Grantor hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any Receivable and any Supporting Obligation, in each case, at its own expense. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At the Administrative Agent’s request but subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default each Grantor shall make available to the Administrative Agent original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables that are included in the Collateral, including original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

5.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.

21

(b) The Administrative Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default notify, or require any Grantor to so notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable or Contract of the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the Receivables and/or Contracts directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3. Pledged Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting, corporate and other ownership (or other similar) rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership (or other similar) right exercised or other action taken which would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.3(b): (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights; (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor (where permitted by applicable law), to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property to its name or the name of its nominee or agent; and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order

22

to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon any such instruction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property, including Pledged Securities, directly to the Administrative Agent.

5.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall, if requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

5.5. Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 5.6) constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in the Guaranty, in payment of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

5.6. Code and Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC

23

(whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral

24

or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amounts required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by any Secured Party of any rights hereunder.

(c) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall, to the extent commercially reasonable and feasible under the circumstances, supply the Administrative Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

5.7. Private Sales, etc.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to

25

assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment.

5.8. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any outside attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

5.9. BWXT Entities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent will not take any action with respect to any pledge of Stock or Stock Equivalents of any Person that directly or indirectly owns Stock or Stock Equivalents in any BWXT Entity if such action would constitute or result in the change of ownership of any Person that directly or indirectly owns Stock in a BWXT Entity if such change of ownership would require under then-existing law or any material contract, the prior approval of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Energy or any other Governmental Authority, without first obtaining such approval. Each Grantor covenants that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will take all actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to obtain such approval.

SECTION 6. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

6.1. Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

26

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

27

(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Committed Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2. Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

6.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, without the signature of such Grantor, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or as “all assets,” “all personal property” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether or not the Collateral includes all assets or all personal property of such Grantor, or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable that is of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall, where permitted by applicable law, be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

28

6.4. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.5. Appointment of Co-Administrative Agents. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any applicable requirement of law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent).

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents required under Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed thereby.

7.2. Notices. All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses and otherwise made in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided that notices and communications to any Grantor other than the Borrower shall be directed to such Grantor, at the address of the Borrower.

7.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

7.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

29

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in the Guaranty or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to each Secured Party and outside counsel to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their permitted successors and assigns; provided that, except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

7.6. Set-off; Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Without limiting the general applicability of the foregoing and the terms of the other Loan Documents to this Agreement and the parties hereto, the terms of Sections 10.08, 10.14 and 10.15 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, with each reference to the “Borrower” therein (whether express or by reference to the Borrower as a “party” thereto) being a reference to the Grantors, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

7.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

7.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such

30

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

7.11. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.

7.12. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.22 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Joinder Agreement.

7.13. Releases; Termination of this Agreement.

(a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations and (ii) Obligations in respect of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements either (A) as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made or (B) notice has not been received by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that such amounts are then due and payable) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated or expired and each Letter of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement shall be Cash Collateralized or no longer outstanding (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall have been made), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any

31

act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Stock and Stock Equivalents in such Grantor shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days (or such lesser period permitted in writing by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for such release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the relevant sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of Collateral Release Event and in accordance with Section 10.19(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Security Instrument on the applicable Collateral

(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Sections 9-509(d)(2) and 9-518 of the New York UCC.
