Item 1.01      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On December 6, 2006, Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2006, among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing credit agreement. On December 6, 2006, the Company borrowed approximately $3.2 billion under the Credit Agreement to fund the acquisition of JLG Industries, Inc. (“JLG”) and to refinance the outstanding balances under the Company’s and JLG’s existing credit facilities.

        The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility that matures in December 2011 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $550 million; (ii) a $500 million term loan facility that matures in December 2011 due in quarterly installments of $12.5 million plus interest with a balloon payment due at maturity; and (iii) a $2.6 billion term loan facility that matures in December 2013 due in quarterly installments of $6.5 million plus interest with a balloon payment due at maturity. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit (including letters of credit outstanding under the Company’s and JLG’s existing credit facilities), which were approximately $32.3 million as of December 6, 2006. The Company may increase the aggregate amount of the commitments under the revolving credit facility by an amount up to $250 million if certain conditions, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement, are satisfied.

        The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement to the extent such subsidiaries borrow directly under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority perfected lien and security interests in all of the equity interests (excluding, to the extent provided therein, margin stock) of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of each material foreign subsidiary of the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company; and, subject to certain customary permitted lien exceptions, substantially all other personal property of the Company and certain subsidiaries ; and all proceeds thereof.

        Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the higher of the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate or the federal funds rate plus .50%) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied. The Company must also pay a fee, which may range from .15% to .35%, on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement and a fee, which may range from 1.00% to 2.00%, on the maximum amount available to be drawn under each commercial letter of credit that is issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

        The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels and restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness or dispose of assets. The Credit Agreement requires maintenance on a rolling four quarter basis of a maximum leverage ratio (as defined) of 5.50x for fiscal quarters ending on or before June 30, 2007, reducing to 5.25x for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2007, 4.75x for the fiscal quarters ending on December 31, 2007 through September 30, 2008, 4.25x for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2008 through September 30, 2009 and 3.75x for fiscal quarters ending thereafter, and a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined) of 2.50x, in each case tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. Additionally, the Credit Agreement limits the amount of dividends and other types of distributions that the Company may pay to $40 million during any fiscal year plus the positive result of (x) 25% of the cumulative net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for all fiscal quarters ending after the effective date of the new credit agreement, minus (y) the cumulative amount of all dividends and other types of distributions made in any fiscal year ending after such effective date that exceeded $40 million.

-1-

        The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the interest rate on all obligations under the Credit Agreement will be 2.00% per annum above the otherwise applicable rate and the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if the Company or any material subsidiary borrower or guarantor becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will be immediately due and payable.

        The description of the Credit Agreement set forth above is qualified by reference to the Credit Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheeet Arrangement of a Registrant.

        (g)     This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel to the Agent, the Company and the other parties, and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, they shall not be construed against the Lenders or the Agent merely because of the Agent’s or Lenders’ involvement in their preparation.

        1.03    Accounting Principles. (a) Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting terms not expressly defined herein shall be construed, and all financial computations required under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with GAAP.

28

        (b)     References herein to “fiscal year” and “fiscal quarter” refer to such fiscal periods of the Company.

        (c)     If any change in GAAP occurs after the date of this Agreement and such change results in a material variation in the method of calculation of financial covenants or other terms of this Agreement or in what Subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, then the Company, the Agent and the Lenders agree to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such change so that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s financial condition will be the same after such change as if such change had not occurred.

        1.04    Currency Equivalents Generally. For all purposes of this Agreement (but not for purposes of the preparation of any financial statements, any schedules pertaining to Foreign Subsidiaries or any compliance certificates delivered pursuant hereto), the equivalent in any Offshore Currency or other currency of an amount in Dollars, and the equivalent in Dollars of an amount in any Offshore Currency or other currency, shall be determined at the Spot Rate.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

        2.01    The Credits.

        (a)     Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to the Borrowers (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in Dollars and/or one or more Offshore Currencies to the Company or to any Subsidiary Borrower, in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount not at any time exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that (a) the Total Revolving Usage shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment; and (b) the sum of (i) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender plus (ii) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of (x) all outstanding Swing Line Loans, (y) the amount of all L/C Obligations and (z) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to the foregoing and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this subsection 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.10 and reborrow under this subsection 2.01(a).

        (b)     Each Term A Lender will make a term loan (each a “Term A Loan”) to the Company on the Effective Date in Dollars in such Lender’s Term A Percentage of $500,000,000. Amounts repaid with respect to Term A Loans may not be reborrowed.

        (c)     Each Term B Lender will make a term loan (each a “Term B Loan”) to the Company on the Effective Date in Dollars in such Lender’s Term B Percentage of $2,600,000,000. Amounts repaid with respect to Term B Loans may not be reborrowed.

        2.02    Loan Accounts. (a) The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit Issued by each Issuer shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent, each Issuer and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the applicable Lenders to the Borrowers and the Letters of Credit, and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or any Letter of Credit.

29

        (b)     Each Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender, issue to such Lender a single note (each a “Note”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to evidence such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower. Each Lender may, instead of or in addition to maintaining a loan account, endorse on the schedule annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by a Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to endorse its Note and each Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender.

        2.03    Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) (i) two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans denominated in a currency specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency” on the Effective Date, (iii) the number of Business Days determined by the Agent to be customary for its syndicated credit facilities, if such Offshore Rate Loans are to be denominated in a currency not covered by the preceding clause (ii), and (iv) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying:

        (A)     the amount of such Borrowing, which shall (unless such Borrowing is being requested (or deemed to be requested) pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 3.03(b)) be (x) a Dollar Equivalent amount not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent) and (y) a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency;

        (B)     the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;

        (C)     the Class and Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing;

        (D)     with respect to Offshore Rate Loans, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans included in such notice (and, if a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be one month);

        (E)     with respect to Offshore Rate Loans, the Applicable Currency for such Borrowing; and

        (F)     the identity of the Borrower requesting such Borrowing.

30

        (b)     The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of any Notice of Borrowing and (i) in respect of Borrowings of Term A Loans, the amount of such Lender’s Term A Percentage of such Borrowing, (ii) in respect of Borrowings of Term B Loans, the amount of such Lender’s Term B Percentage of such Borrowing, and (iii) in respect of Borrowings of Revolving Loans (other than Offshore Rate Loans to the extent covered by Section 2.08), (x) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing and (y) if such Borrowing is in an Offshore Currency, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of such Borrowing and the applicable Spot Rate used by the Agent to determine such aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount. The Agent shall also give the Company prompt notice of the matters referred to in clause (iii)(y) of the preceding sentence.

        (c)     Each Lender will make the amount of its applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s Payment Office by 1:00 p.m. (local time) on the Borrowing Date and in the Applicable Currency requested by such Borrower in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Agent at such office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Agent.

        (d)     After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 15 different Interest Periods in effect.

        (e)     Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Borrowing based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice, signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

        2.04    Conversion and Continuation Elections. (a) Each Borrower may, with respect to Loans other than Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, upon irrevocable notice to the Agent in accordance with subsection 2.04(b):

        (i)     elect to convert Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type to the other Type; provided that (x) any partial conversion of Loans shall be in (A) an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent) and (B) an integral multiple of $500,000 and (y) any conversion of Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans may occur only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor; or

        (ii)     elect as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Offshore Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount that is (A) not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent) and (B) an integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency);

31

provided that if at any time the aggregate amount of Offshore Rate Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment or conversion of part thereof to be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000, such Offshore Rate Loans shall (x) if denominated in Dollars, be converted into Base Rate Loans, or (y) if denominated in an Offshore Currency, be prepaid, in each case on the last day of the Interest Period therefor.

        (b)     Each Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) at least (i) two Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Revolving Loans are to be continued as Offshore Rate Loans denominated in a currency specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency” on the Effective Date, (iii) the number of Business Days determined by the Agent to be customary for its syndicated credit facilities, if the applicable Revolving Loans are to be continued as Offshore Rate Loans in a currency not covered by the preceding clause (ii), and (iv) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:

        (A)     the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

        (B)     the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

        (C)     the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

        (D)     other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

        (c)     If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Offshore Rate Loans, a Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loans as Offshore Rate Loans to itself denominated in the same currency and having a one-month Interest Period effective as of the expiration date of such expiring Interest Period.

        (d)     The Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by a Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

        (e)     Unless the Required Revolving Lenders, Required Term A Lenders or Required Term B Lenders, as applicable, otherwise consent, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Borrower may elect to have a Revolving Loan, a Term A Loan or a Term B Loan converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.

        (f)     During the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Revolving Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Agent, that all outstanding Revolving Loans that are Offshore Rate Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency be prepaid, or be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

32

        (g)     After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than 15 different Interest Periods in effect.

        (h)     Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to accept Notices of Conversion/Continuation based on telephonic notices made by any Person, the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice, signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

        2.05    The Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars to the Company from time to time prior to the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $100,000,000; provided that after giving effect to any such Swing Line Loan, the Total Revolving Usage shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the Company may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Swing Line Rate and shall not be entitled to be converted into Loans that bear interest at any other rate.

        2.06    Procedure for Swing Line Loans. (a) The Company may borrow under the Swing Line Commitment on any Business Day until the Revolving Termination Date; provided that the Company shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable written notice signed by a Responsible Officer or an authorized designee (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time)) with a copy to the Agent specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received prior notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, the proceeds of a requested Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Company in immediately available funds at the office of the Swing Line Lender by 4:00 p.m. (local time) on the date of such notice of borrowing. The Company may at any time and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by notifying the Swing Line Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (local time) on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment with a copy to the Agent. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.

33

        (b)     If any Swing Line Loan shall remain outstanding at 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the fifth Business Day following the date of such Swing Line Loan and if by such time on such fifth Business Day the Agent shall not have received either (i) a Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan for the purpose of refunding such Swing Line Loan or (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Agent indicating the Company’s intent to repay such Swing Line Loan on or before the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources or to extend such Swing Line Loan, then on such Business Day the Swing Line Lender shall (and on any Business Day the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion may), on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request the Agent to notify each Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of (A) in the case of such a request which is required to be made, the amount of the relevant Swing Line Loan and (B) in the case of such a discretionary request, the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that absent notice by the Company to the contrary by such time on such fifth Business Day, the Company shall be deemed to have requested, at the end of such five Business Day period, that each outstanding Swing Line Loan be extended for an additional period of five Business Days, so long as the conditions specified in Section 5.02 would be satisfied at the beginning of each such additional period, treating each such extension as if it were the making of a new Loan. Unless any of the events described in subsection 9.01(f) or (g) shall have occurred with respect to the Company (in which event the procedures of subsection (d) of this Section 2.06 shall apply) each Revolving Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent’s Payment Office in funds immediately available prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Line Loans. Effective on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note. The Company shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, promptly following the Swing Line Lender’s demand, the amount of its outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such outstanding Swing Line Loans.

        (c)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swing Line Lender (i) shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan if the conditions set forth in Article V have not been satisfied and (ii) shall not make any requested Swing Line Loan if, prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date of such requested Swing Line Loan, it has received a written notice from the Agent or any Revolving Lender directing it not to make further Swing Line Loans because any condition specified in Article V is not then satisfied.

        (d)     If prior to the making of a Revolving Loan required to be made by subsection 2.06(b) an Event of Default described in subsection 9.01(f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Company, each Revolving Lender will, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice described in subsection 2.06(b), purchase an undivided participating interest in all outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation.

34

        (e)     Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to the Agent for delivery to each Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Agent for delivery to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.

        (f)     Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in subsection 2.06(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 2.06(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or the Company may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

        2.07    The Fronted Offshore Currency Loans.

        (a)     Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V and in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, from the later of the date of this Agreement and the date of execution of the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum to the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), each Fronting Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, to make Fronted Offshore Currency Loans under such Offshore Currency Addendum to the applicable Borrower party to such Offshore Currency Addendum from time to time in the applicable Alternate Currency, in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount not to exceed such Fronting Lender’s applicable Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment (the amount of which shall in no event be, if not zero, less than the Dollar Equivalent of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000); provided that, at no time shall the Dollar Equivalent of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans for any specific Alternate Currency exceed the maximum amount specified as the maximum amount for such Alternate Currency in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum other than as a result of currency fluctuations. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in the applicable Alternate Currency at any time prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum). Upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), the outstanding principal balance of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall be paid in full by the applicable Borrower; and prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments, prepayments of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall be made by the applicable Borrower if and to the extent required by subsection 2.11(c). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to become a Fronting Lender.

35

        (b)     The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Fronting Lender a fronting fee in respect of each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan in accordance with the Offshore Currency Addendum (or other agreement with such Fronting Lender).

        (c)     Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall any Fronting Lender have the right to accelerate the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans outstanding under any Offshore Currency Addendum prior to the stated termination date in respect thereof, except that each Fronting Lender shall have such right upon an acceleration of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Article IX.

        (d)     Each Fronting Lender shall furnish to the Agent not less frequently than monthly, at the end of each calendar quarter, and at any other time upon the request of the Agent, a statement setting forth the outstanding Fronted Offshore Currency Loans made and repaid during the period since the last such report.

        (e)     Immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 9.01(a), (f) or (g), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Fronting Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan ratably in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of principal and accrued interest of such Loan, and such Fronted Offshore Currency Loans shall, as the Required Lenders shall direct, either be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. Each of the Lenders shall pay to the applicable Fronting Lender not later than two Business Days following a request for payment from such Fronting Lender, in Dollars, an amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Fronted Offshore Currency Loan purchased by such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.07(e). If any Lender fails to make payment to the applicable Fronting Lender of any amount due under this subsection 2.07(e), the Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Agent receives from such Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Lender’s payment obligation as prescribed in this subsection 2.07(e) together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the applicable Fronting Lender and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied. The Agent will promptly remit all payments received as provided above to the applicable Fronting Lender. In consideration of the risk participations prescribed in this subsection 2.07(e), each Lender shall receive, from the accrued interest paid for periods prior to the conversion of any Fronted Offshore Currency Loan as described above by the applicable Borrower on each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan, a fee equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Applicable Offshore Rate Margin component of the interest accrued on such Loan, as in effect from time to time during the period such interest accrued. Such portion of the interest paid by the applicable Borrower on Fronted Offshore Currency Loans to the applicable Fronting Lender shall be paid as promptly as possible by such Fronting Lender to the Agent, and the Agent shall as promptly as possible convert such amount into Dollars at the Spot Rate and apply such resulting amount ratably among the Revolving Lenders (including the Fronting Lenders) in proportion to their respective Revolving Percentages.

36

        (f)     Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Fronted Offshore Currency Loan, the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Fronting Lender will distribute to the Agent for delivery to each Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided that if such payment received by such Fronting Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Agent for delivery to such Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Agent or such Fronting Lender.

        (g)     Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase the participating interests referred to in subsection 2.07(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against any Fronting Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

        (h)     The specification of payment of Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in the related Alternate Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such Alternate Currency shall, subject to this Section 2.07, be the currency of account and payment of such Loans under this Agreement and the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of the applicable Borrower in respect of such Loans shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Alternate Currency and transfer to such Lender under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum. If any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Borrower shall pay such deficiency to the applicable Lender (and such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against such Borrower for such deficiency.) If any payment, upon conversion and transfer, results in payment in excess of the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum, the applicable Lender shall refund such excess to the applicable Borrower.

        2.08    Utilization of Commitments in Offshore Currencies; Valuation.

        (a)     The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Offshore Rate Loan and each Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Computation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Agent will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.

37

        (b)     Upon receipt of any Notice of Borrowing of Offshore Currency Loans, the Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the approximate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing, and the Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing, promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the exact amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Borrowing. In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Offshore Currency Loans, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to make Offshore Currency Loans in the requested Offshore Currency as part of such Borrowing if the Agent has received notice from any Revolving Lender by 3:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such Borrowing that such Lender cannot provide Loans in such Offshore Currency without adverse tax or legal consequences, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company no later than 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing that a Borrowing in such Offshore Currency is not then available, no such Borrowing shall be made and any request for a Revolving Loan in such Offshore Currency shall be deemed withdrawn and shall otherwise be without effect.

        (c)     In the case of a proposed continuation of Offshore Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.04, the Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue such Offshore Currency Loans if the Agent has received notice from any of the Revolving Lenders by 4:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Revolving Lender cannot continue to provide Loans in the applicable Offshore Currency, in which event the Agent will give notice to the Company not later than 9:00 a.m. (local time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Offshore Currency Loans in such Offshore Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by the Agent to the Revolving Lenders. If the Agent shall have so notified the Company that any such continuation of Offshore Currency Loans is not then available, any Notice of Continuation/Conversion with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Offshore Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans assumed by the Company in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Offshore Currency Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Revolving Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Agent to each Revolving Lender the Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Offshore Currency Loans assumed by the Company as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof.

        (d)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Offshore Currency Loans be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. The Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any such prepayment or redenomination request.

38

        (e)     The Company shall be entitled to request that Revolving Loans hereunder shall also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency, in addition to Dollars and the currencies specified in the definition of “Offshore Currency”, that in the opinion of each Revolving Lender is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars (an “Agreed Alternative Currency”). The Company shall deliver to the Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 11.02, to be received by the Agent not later than noon (local time) at least ten Business Days in advance of the date of any Borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency. Upon receipt of any such request the Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof, and each Revolving Lender will use its best efforts to respond to such request within two Business Days of receipt thereof. Each Revolving Lender may grant or deny such request in its sole discretion. The Agent will promptly notify the Company of the acceptance or rejection of any such request.

        2.09    Voluntary Termination, Reduction or Increase of Revolving Commitments. (a) The Company may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent, terminate the Revolving Commitments, or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment by $10,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount less than the Total Revolving Usage. Once reduced in accordance with this subsection (a), the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased, except as provided in subsection (c). Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Revolving Percentage.

        (b)     At no time shall the sum of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, and any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment which reduces the Aggregate Revolving Commitment below the then-current sum of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Commitment and/or the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments (as specified by the Company or, in the absence of such specification, pro rata according to the amounts thereof) so that the sum thereof is equal to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, as so reduced. At no time shall the sum of the Swing Line Commitment plus any Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of any Lender exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, and any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment which reduces the Revolving Commitment of such Lender below the then-current sum of the Swing Line Commitment plus the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of such Lender shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Commitment and the Fronted Offshore Currency Commitment of such Lender, on a ratable basis, to the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, as so reduced, without any action on the part of such Lender.

        (c)     (i) The Company may from time to time prior to the Revolving Termination Date, by means of a letter delivered to the Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit I and subject to the applicable conditions to effectiveness of such increase specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, request an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment; provided that (x) any such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (y) the aggregate amount of all increases in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.09(c) shall not exceed $250,000,000 and (z) at the time of such increase, (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (2) all representations and warranties in Article VI shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).

39

        (ii)     Any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may be effected by (x) increasing the Revolving Commitment of one or more Revolving Lenders which have agreed to such increase and/or (y) adding one or more commercial banks or other Persons as a party hereto (each an “Additional Lender”) with a Revolving Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such Additional Lender; provided that no Additional Lender shall be added as a party hereto without the written consent of the Agent, each Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each applicable Fronting Lender (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

        (iii)     Any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be effective three Business Days (or such other period agreed to by the Agent, the Company and, as applicable, each Revolving Lender that has agreed to increase its Revolving Commitment and each Additional Lender) after the date on which the Agent has received and acknowledged receipt of the applicable increase letter in the form of Annex 1 (in the case of an increase in the Revolving Commitment of an existing Lender) or Annex 2 (in the case of the addition of an Additional Lender) to Exhibit I, which acknowledgment shall be delivered promptly to the Company by the Agent (subject to the right of the Agent set forth in clause (ii) above to consent to any Additional Lender).

        (iv)     The Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Revolving Lenders of any increase in the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this subsection (c) and of the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Percentage of each Revolving Lender after giving effect thereto.

        (v)     The Borrowers (x) acknowledge that, in order to maintain Revolving Loans in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans prior to any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this subsection (c), a reallocation of the Revolving Commitments as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Revolving Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.04) and (y) agree to make any such prepayment.

        2.10    Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.04, any Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than two Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Agent, in respect of Offshore Rate Loans (other than Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Offshore Currency Addendum), and in respect of Base Rate Loans, by not later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) on the prepayment date, prepay Loans in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount that is (a) not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Agent) and (b) a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, which Loans are to be prepaid and the Class(es) and Type(s) of such Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of a prepayment of Term Loans, the installments to which such prepayment shall be applied. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Lender’s Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans, with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.04.

40

        2.11    Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. (a) If on any date the Total Revolving Usage exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrowers shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and/or L/C Advances by an amount equal to such excess.

        (b)     If on any date the amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment, the Company shall immediately Cash Collateralize (or promptly provide other Backup Support for) the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such excess.

        (c)     If at any time of calculation by the Agent (pursuant to subsection 2.08(a) or otherwise) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all outstanding Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in the same Alternate Currency exceeds the aggregate Fronted Offshore Currency Commitments with respect thereto as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the applicable Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Fronted Offshore Currency Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

        (d)     If the Company or any Subsidiary receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any of the following events, the Company shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds at the following times, in the following amounts (in each case rounded down to an integral multiple of $100,000) and in the order of application set forth in subsection (e) below (any such application, a “Proceeds Application”):

        (i)     Within five Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition (other than (A) a Disposition permitted by Section 8.02(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (l) and (B) the first $25,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition made after the Effective Date that is permitted solely by Section 8.02(m)), whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the Company shall make a Proceeds Application in an amount (rounded down as provided above) equal to the result (if positive) of (x) all Net Cash Proceeds from all such Dispositions received during the then-current fiscal year minus (y) $10,000,000 minus (z) all amounts previously applied pursuant to this clause (i) during such fiscal year.

        (ii)     Within five Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of any Indebtedness (other than (A) Indebtedness in respect of Swap Contracts incurred in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes, (B) Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted by Section 8.01(j), (k), (m), (n), (r) or (u), (C) Indebtedness in respect of any bankers’ acceptance, letter of credit, warehouse receipt or similar facility entered into in the ordinary course of business, (D) Indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with any like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code that is secured solely by the property subject to the applicable transaction, (E) Indebtedness arising under the Loan Documents, (F) Permitted Acquired Debt, (G) Indebtedness permitted under clause (y) of Section 8.05(b), (H) if the Leverage Ratio at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds is less than 3.50 to 1.0, (1) up to $200,000,000 in the aggregate of Securitization Obligations and (2) up to $200,000,000 in the aggregate of unsecured Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries), the Company shall make a Proceeds Application in an amount (rounded down as provided above) equal to the result of (x) all Net Cash Proceeds from issuances of all such Indebtedness received after the Effective Date minus (y) all amounts previously applied pursuant to this clause (ii).

41

        (iii)     Within five Business Days following the delivery of the Compliance Certificate with respect to the end of any fiscal year pursuant to subsection 7.02(b), beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, the Company shall make a Proceeds Application in an amount (rounded down as provided above) equal to the Specified Percentage of the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year. As used herein, “Specified Percentage” means (x) 50%, if the Leverage Ratio for any fiscal year (the “Measurement Period”) is greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0, (y) 25%, if the Leverage Ratio for the Measurement Period is less than 3.75 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.0 or (z) 0% if the Leverage Ratio for the Measurement Period is less than 3.50 to 1.0.

        (e)     Each Proceeds Application shall be applied ratably to the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans in proportion to the original principal amount thereof, and within each such Class pro rata to the remaining installments thereof, until the Term Loans have been paid in full.

        2.12    Repayment.

        (a)     The Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date.

        (b)     The Term A Loans shall be repaid in installments on the dates, and in the amounts, set forth on Schedule 2.12(b), with the outstanding principal balance of the Term A Loans payable on the Term A Maturity Date.

        (c)     The Term B Loans shall be repaid in installments on the dates, and in the amounts, set forth on Schedule 2.12(c), with the outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loans payable on the Term B Maturity Date.

        2.13    Interest. (a) Each Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars and each Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Offshore Rate plus the Applicable Offshore Rate Margin or (ii) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as the case may be (and subject to the Borrowers’ right to convert Loans from one Type to the other). Each Revolving Loan denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Offshore Rate plus the Applicable Offshore Rate Margin. Each Fronted Offshore Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Fronted Offshore Currency Rate.

42

        (b)     Interest on each Revolving Loan and Term Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on (i) the Revolving Maturity Date, in the case of Revolving Loans, (ii) the Term A Maturity Date, in the case of Term A Loans, or (iii) or the Term B Maturity Date, in the case of Term B Loans. Interest on Offshore Rate Loans shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment thereof for the portion of the Loans so prepaid. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on all Loans shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

        (c)     Notwithstanding subsection 2.13(a), while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the applicable Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, at a rate per annum determined by adding 2% per annum to the applicable interest rate otherwise then in effect for such Loans.

        (d)     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event such Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

        2.14    Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 3.08:

        (a)    Arrangement Fees, Agency Fees, Upfront Fees and other Fees. The Company shall pay (i) such fees to the Agent and the Arrangers as are required by the fee letter among the Company, the Arrangers, the Agent and the Syndication Agent dated October 15, 2006 and (ii) such fees to the Agent as are required by the fee letter between the Company and the Agent dated October 15, 2006, or in each case as otherwise agreed to by such parties from time to time.

        (b)    Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage. For purposes of calculating utilization under this subsection, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding (excluding any outstanding Swing Line Loans), plus the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of the Fronted Offshore Currency Loans then outstanding plus the amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding. Such commitment fee shall accrue from the Effective Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2006 through the Revolving Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments under Section 2.09, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment date. The commitment fees provided in this subsection shall accrue at all times after the above-mentioned commencement date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article V are not met.

43

        2.15    Computation of Fees and Interest. (a) Interest on any Loan bearing interest based upon Bank of America’s prime rate or denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or on such other basis as the Agent shall determine is customary for the relevant currency. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

        (b)     Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

        2.16    Payments by the Borrowers. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Agent’s Payment Office no later than 11:00 a.m. (local time) on the date specified herein. All such payments shall be made in funds immediately available to the Agent and (i) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Offshore Rate Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (ii) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its applicable share of such payment in like funds as received which, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be based upon such Lender’s Percentage of the Loans in respect of which such payment has been made. Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (local time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

        (b)     Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

        (c)     Unless the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent a Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

44

        2.17    Payments by the Lenders to the Agent. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.08 with respect to Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of a Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to such Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

        (b)     The failure of any applicable Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other applicable Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.

        2.18    Sharing of Payments, Etc.If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact and (b) purchase in Dollars from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment 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. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

45

        2.19    Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) On or after the Effective Date, with the consent of the Agent, the Company may designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary and any captive insurance company Subsidiary) as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, together with Notes in favor of each requesting Lender, and subject to the provisions of clause (b) such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Subsidiary Borrower and party to this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement, the Agent will deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender.

        (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), no Subsidiary Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (i) may borrow Revolving Loans prior to the tenth Business Day after the Agent has distributed copies of the applicable Subsidiary Borrower Supplement pursuant to the last sentence of clause (a) or (ii) may borrow or maintain Revolving Loans if any Revolving Lender has notified the Agent (which notice has not been withdrawn) that such Revolving Lender has determined in good faith that, as the result of the introduction of, any change in, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the date on which such Subsidiary Borrower was first eligible to borrow pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), such Revolving Lender cannot make or maintain Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower without (x) adverse tax or legal consequences (unless such consequences only involve the payment of money, in which case such Subsidiary Borrower may borrow and maintain Revolving Loans if it agrees to pay such Lender such amounts as such Lender determines in good faith are necessary to compensate such Revolving Lender for such consequences) or (y) violating (or raising a substantial question as to whether such Lender would violate) any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law). Nothing in this clause (b) shall prevent a Subsidiary Borrower from borrowing Fronted Offshore Currency Loans.

        (c)     So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower in such capacity (other than any contingent indemnification or similar obligation not yet due and payable) shall have been fully performed, such Subsidiary Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders thereof), terminate its status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”.

        (vii)     a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 3.03 exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Company or such Lender to eliminate such Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

        (c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than $25,000,000 in aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit may have expiry dates beyond the scheduled Revolving Termination Date.

        3.02    Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written request of the Company received by the applicable Issuer (with a copy sent by such Issuer to the Agent) at least three days (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance; provided that five days’ prior notice (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) shall be required in respect of each Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Offshore Currency.

Unless the applicable Issuer has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date such Issuer is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Agent (A) directing such Issuer not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under subsection 3.01(a) as a result of the limitations set forth in clauses (1) and (2) thereof or subsection 3.01(b)(ii); or (B) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

        (c)     From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, the applicable Issuer will, upon the written request of the Company received by such Issuer (with a copy sent by such Issuer to the Agent) at least three days (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing (if required by the applicable Issuer), made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application or through on-line letter of credit software acceptable to such Issuer, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as such Issuer may require. No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) such amendment would extend the expiry date for, or increase the amount of, such Letter of Credit and such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept such amendment (and no Issuer shall so amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received a notice of the type described in the second sentence of subsection 3.02(b)). The Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of the receipt by it of any L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application.

        (d)     Each Issuer and the Revolving Lenders agree that, while a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Termination Date, at the option of the Company and upon the written request of the Company received by such Issuer (with a copy sent by such Issuer to the Agent) at least three days (or such shorter time as such Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, such Issuer shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing (if required by the applicable Issuer), in the form of an L/C Amendment Application or through on-line letter of credit software acceptable to such Issuer, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of such Letter of Credit; and (iv) such other matters as such Issuer may require. No Issuer shall be under any obligation so to renew any Letter of Credit if: (A) such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed renewal of such Letter of Credit (and no Issuer shall so renew any Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received a notice of the type described in the second sentence of subsection 3.02(b)). If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the applicable Issuer that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal such Issuer would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection 3.02(d) upon the request of the Company but such Issuer shall not have received any L/C Amendment Application from the Company with respect to such renewal or other written direction by the Company with respect thereto, such Issuer shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to renew, and the Company and the Revolving Lenders hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, such Issuer shall be deemed to have received an L/C Amendment Application from the Company requesting such renewal.

49

        (e)     Each Issuer may, at its election (or as required by the Agent at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders), deliver any notice of termination or other communication to any Letter of Credit beneficiary or transferee, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be a date not later than the 730 days after the Revolving Termination Date.

        (f)     This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

        (g)     Each Issuer will also deliver to the Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit.

        3.03    Risk Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements. (a) Immediately upon the Issuance of a Letter of Credit by an Issuer, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Revolving Percentage of such Revolving Lender, times (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. For purposes of Section 2.01, each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.

        (b)     In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuer will promptly notify the Company. The Company shall (or, if the applicable Letter of Credit was issued jointly for the account of the Company and a Subsidiary, shall cause such Subsidiary to) reimburse the applicable Issuer prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time) on each date that any amount is paid by such Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”) in the same currency as was paid by such Issuer or, at the Company’s option, in an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so paid by such Issuer; provided that if the Company does not receive notice of the amount paid by such Issuer prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such Honor Date, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse such Issuer not later than 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Company receives notice of the amount so paid by such Issuer (and such reimbursement shall include interest for the period from the Honor Date to the date of reimbursement at the Base Rate (or such other rate as the Company and such Issuer shall agree) on the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount so reimbursed). If the Company or the applicable Subsidiary fails to reimburse an Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the time specified in the previous sentence, such Issuer will promptly notify the Agent and the Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to such unreimbursed amount be made by the Revolving Lenders on the date of receipt by the Agent of such notice (or, if such notice is received by the Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on any Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. Any notice given by an Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this subsection 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

50

        (c)     Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 3.03(b) make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuer an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Revolving Lenders shall (subject to subsection 3.03(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in that amount. If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the relevant Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing by no later than 12:00 noon (local time) on the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Revolving Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Revolving Lender from its obligations under this Section 3.03.

        (d)     With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans to the Company in whole or in part, because of the Company’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.0% per annum, and each Revolving Lender’s payment to such Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.03(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.03.

51

        (e)     Each Revolving Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this Section 3.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the applicable Issuer and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under this Section 3.03 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02.

        3.04    Repayment of Participations. (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer of immediately available funds in Dollars from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuer under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Lender has paid the Agent for the account of such Issuer for such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Agent will promptly pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent for the account of such Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such funds, and such Issuer shall receive the amount of the Revolving Percentage of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not so pay the Agent for the account of such Issuer.

        (b)     If the Agent or an Issuer is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Company to the Agent for the account of such Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the applicable Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent or such Issuer the amount of its Revolving Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent or such Issuer plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Revolving Lender to the Agent or such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

        3.05    Role of the Issuers. (a) Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates 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.

        (b)     No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuers 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 Revolving Lenders (including the Required Revolving Lenders or all Revolving 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 L/C-Related Document.

52

        (c)     The Company 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 that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.06; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against an Issuer, and an Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, such 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 or such other actions or omissions as may be agreed between the Company and such Issuer (it being understood that any such claim shall be solely against the applicable Issuer and shall not affect the Company’s obligations hereunder to the other parties hereto). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any 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 (ii) no Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

        3.06    Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the applicable Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including the following:

        (i)     any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document;

        (ii)     any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related Documents;

        (iii)     the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

        (iv)     any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any 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 any Letter of Credit;

53

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

        (vi)     any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Company in respect of any Letter of Credit; or

        (vii)     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 Company or a guarantor.

        3.07    Backup Support. The Company will, not later than five Business Days prior to the scheduled Revolving Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination or reduction to zero of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment), cause each Letter of Credit to be a Supported Letter of Credit.

        3.08    Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each of the Revolving Lenders a letter of credit fee with respect to the Letters of Credit equal to the Applicable LC Fee Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Letters of Credit at any time during the remaining term thereof, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for that quarter as calculated by the Agent. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such quarterly date to occur after the Effective Date, through the Revolving Maturity Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Maturity Date (or such later expiration date).

        (b)     The Company shall pay to each Issuer a letter of credit fronting fee with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer in the amounts and at the times agreed to by the Company and such Issuer.

        (c)     The Company shall pay to each Issuer from time to time on demand the normal issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.

        3.09    Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to a Letter of Credit outstanding on the date hereof), (a) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law &Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) (“ISP98”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) 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 (the “UCP”) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit (it being understood that the Company may request that any particular Letter of Credit be governed by either ISP98 or the UCP, as selected by the Company).

54

        3.10    Utilization of Offshore Currencies. In the case of a proposed Issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Offshore Currency, the applicable Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue such Letter of Credit if such Issuer cannot issue Letters of Credit denominated in the requested Offshore Currency, in which event such Issuer will give notice to the Company no later than 10:30 a.m. (local time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such issuance that the Issuance in the requested Offshore Currency is not then available. If the applicable Issuer shall have so notified the Company that any such Issuance in a requested Offshore Currency is not then available, then such requested Letter of Credit shall not be issued unless the Company, by notice to such Issuer not later than 5:00 p.m. (local time) three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Issuance, requests that the Letter of Credit be denominated in Dollars and issued in an equivalent aggregate amount, in which case the Letter of Credit shall be so denominated and issued.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

        4.01    Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower to each Lender or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, each Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.

        (b)     If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, then:

        (i)     the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

        (ii)     such Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

        (iii)     such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

        (iv)     such Borrower shall also pay to each Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed.

55

        (c)     Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that such Lender or the Agent, respectively, specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Lender would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties (except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Agent, respectively), interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.

        (d)     Within 30 days after the date of any payment by any Borrower of Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish to each applicable Lender or the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or the Agent.

        (e)     If such Borrower is required to pay any amount to any Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

        (f)     Each Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Company, deliver to the Company copies of all completed and executed forms reasonably deemed necessary by any Borrower in connection with the payment of amounts demanded by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing subsection (c).

        4.02    Illegality. (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the date hereof of any Requirement of Law, or any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Offshore Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Offshore 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 interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Company through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make or continue Offshore Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, at which time such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Company and such Lender’s obligation to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be reinstated.

        (b)     If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Offshore Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower shall, upon the receipt by the Company of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Offshore Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 4.04, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan. If a Borrower is required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company (regardless of whether the Company is the initial Borrower) shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

56

        (c)     If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Company may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by the Lender as Offshore Rate Loans shall be instead made or maintained as Base Rate Loans.

        (d)     Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Offshore Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

        4.03    Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Lender determines in good faith that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the Offshore Rate) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation made after the Effective Date or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans or participating in Letters of Credit or Fronted Offshore Currency Loans, as applicable, or any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, or, in the case of any Issuer, any increase in the cost to such Issuer of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit or any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuer hereunder, then such Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within 10 days after demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reduction.

        (b)     If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation made after the Effective Date, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation made after the Effective Date, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof made after the Effective Date, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, letters of credit, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 10 days after demand of such Lender to the Company through the Agent, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

57

        4.04    Funding Losses. Each Borrower shall reimburse each Lender upon demand and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

        (a)     the failure of such Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any Offshore Rate Loan;

        (b)     the failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

        (c)     the failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice delivered under Section 2.10;

        (d)     any continuation, conversion, prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.11) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof or pursuant to subsection 2.08(c)) of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

        (e)     any assignment of an Offshore Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 4.07; or

        (f)     the automatic conversion under Section 2.04 of any Offshore Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Offshore Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section and under subsection 4.03(a), each Offshore Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the Offshore Base Rate used in determining the Offshore Rate for such Offshore Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

        4.05    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any reason that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternate Currency) are not being offered to banks in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Offshore Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Rate for an Applicable Currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan or (c) the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to subsection 2.13(a) for an Applicable Currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans hereunder in such Applicable Currency shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it or any other Borrower. If the Company does not revoke such Notice, then the applicable Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be, and such Loans shall be assumed by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the Loans may initially have been made to a Subsidiary Borrower.

58

        4.06    Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) contemporaneously with the demand for payment a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation of, the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

        4.07    Substitution of Lenders.Upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or upon the receipt by the Company from any Lender (together with any Defaulting Lender, an “Affected Lender”) of a claim for compensation under Section 4.03, of notice that it cannot make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans under Section 4.02, or of a claim for Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes under Section 4.01, then the Agent, at the Company’s direction and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, shall: (i) request such Affected Lender to use good faith efforts to obtain a replacement bank or financial institution satisfactory to the Company to acquire and assume all or a ratable portion of all of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitments at the face amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts due to such Affected Lender with respect to such ratable portion (a “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request one more of the other applicable Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitments; or (iii) designate a Replacement Lender. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (i) or (iii) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

        4.08    Notice of Defaulting Lender. The Agent agrees to promptly notify the Company upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice).

        4.09    Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations, and no Borrower will have an obligation to pay any amount hereunder unless a demand is made within 180 days after the date upon which the Agent’s or applicable Lender’s right to reimbursement arises.

        (a)     is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable to such entity, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

64

        (b)     has the power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own its assets and to carry on its business in all material respects and (ii) to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party;

        (c)     is duly qualified as a foreign entity in each state in the United States and is licensed and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, if applicable to such entity; and

        (d)     is in compliance with all Requirements of Law;

except, in each case referred to in subsection (b)(i), (c) or (d), to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        6.02    Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, and do not and will not:

        (a)     contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents;

        (b)     conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its property is subject; or

        (c)     violate any Requirement of Law.

        6.03    Governmental and Third-Party Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person (except those that have been obtained and remain in effect and disclosure filings that are required to be made with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents) is necessary or required to be made or obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Loan Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or for the enforcement against such Loan Party of any Loan Document (including, in the case of the Company, Article XII) to which it is a party.

        6.04    Binding Effect. Each Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

        6.05    Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against the Company, or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties:

65

Except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to all Plans subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

        (b)     There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of Company, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

THE AGENT

        10.01    Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

84

        10.02    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent 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 Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

        10.03    Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

        (a)     shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

        (b)     shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

        (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 Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

        The 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 Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 and 11.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Company, a Lender or an Issuer.

        The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

85

        10.04    Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The 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 an Issuer, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuer unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), 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.

        10.05    Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 Agent.

        10.06    Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), 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 consented to by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring 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 Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

86

        Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring 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 successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

        10.07    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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.

        10.08    No Other Duties, Etc.Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person listed on the cover page hereof or elsewhere herein as an Arranger, the Syndication Agent or a Co-Documentation Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuer hereunder.

        10.09    Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the 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 Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) 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 Issuers and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent under Sections 2.14, 3.08 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

87

        (b)     to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.14 and 11.04.

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

        10.10    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Agent shall, and the Lenders and the Issuers irrevocably authorize the Agent to, at the sole cost and expense of the Company,:

        (a)     release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Supported Letters of Credit), (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

        (b)     subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by subsection 8.01(j) or (k); and

        (c)     release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if, after giving effect to such release, the Company is in compliance with Section 7.13.

        Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the 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 Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10.

        10.11    Withholding Tax. (a) (i) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent and the Company, to deliver to the Agent and the Company:

88

        (A)     if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

        (B)     if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may be paid under this Agreement; and

        (C)     such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Each such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Agent and the Company of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

                (ii)     If any Foreign Lender claims exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent and the Company to deliver to the Agent and the Company a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)).

        (b)     If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of such Obligations. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

        (c)     If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

        (d)     If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

89

        (e)     If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the 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 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 Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

93

        (c)     To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) to be paid by it to any Agent-Related Person or any Related Party of such Agent-Related Person, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent-Related Person such Lender’s Total 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 such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for such Agent-Related Person in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) (i) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 and (ii) shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Company under this Section 11.04.

        (d)     To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by third parties of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

        (e)     The obligations in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnitee, the Company shall defend such Indemnitee using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee in such Person’s sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Company. All amounts owing under this Section shall be paid within 30 days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Indemnitee setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail).

        11.05    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, or the Agent or the Lenders exercise their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding 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 set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable Percentage of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

        11.06    Successors and Assigns.

        (B)     the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

        (C)     the consent of each Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each Fronting Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments to an Assignee other than a Revolving Lender.

        (iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee. 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 (c) below.

96

        (b)    Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent’s Payment 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 Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

        (c)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) (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 applicable Borrower, the 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 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (d) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01 and 4.03to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 11.07(a). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

        (d)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01 or 4.03 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 applicable 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 4.01 unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of such Borrower, to comply with Section 10.11 as though it were a Lender.

        (e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Agent or the Company, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

97

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

        (g)    Resignation as an Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Revolving Lender acting as an Issuer or the Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Person may, as applicable, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, resign as an Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Agent, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation of an Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders (with the consent of such appointee) a successor Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder, as applicable; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Person as an Issuer or as the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a Person resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts under Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03). If a Person resigns as the 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 Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.06(b).

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.

98

Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any Requirement of Law, notify the Company of any request for information of the type referred to in clause (B) or (C) above prior to disclosing such information so that the Company may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority.

        11.09    Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being waived by each Borrower 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 by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender or such Affiliate, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a different currency, contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or such Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

99

        11.10    Automatic Debits of Fees. With respect to any commitment fee, arrangement fee, letter of credit fee or other fee, or any other cost or expense (including Attorney Costs) due and payable to the Agent, any Issuer, Bank of America or either Arranger under the Loan Documents, the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank of America to debit any deposit account of the Company with Bank of America in an amount such that the aggregate amount debited from all such deposit accounts does not exceed such fee or other cost or expense; providedthat so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank of America has given notice to the Company thereof not later than the date prior to the date of such debit. If there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to cover the amount of the fee or other cost or expense then due, such debits will be reversed so as not to create an overdraft (in whole or in part, in Bank of America’s sole discretion) and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid. No such debit under this Section shall be deemed a set-off.

        11.11    Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

        11.12    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

        11.13    Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Lead Agents and the Agent-Related Persons, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

        11.15    Governing Law and Jurisdiction. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF); PROVIDED THAT THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

The liability of the Company hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower whether executed by the Company, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Company hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or by any other party; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of any Borrower; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower; or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Company waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

        12.04    Independent Obligation. The obligations of the Company hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The Company waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Company’s obligations under this Article XII.

        12.05    Authorization. The Company authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

        (a)     change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

        (b)     take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

        (c)     exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

103

        (d)     release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors;

        (e)     settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

        (f)     apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Company or any Borrower remain unpaid;

        (g)     consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or (h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Company from its liabilities under this Guaranty;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by the Agent or any Lender that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

        12.06    Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

        12.07    Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of each Borrower relating to the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter owing to the Company is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors, and if the Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Company shall be collected, enforced and received by the Company for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Company of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Company, the Company shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

        12.08    Waiver.

104

        (a)     The Company waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Company waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. The Company waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against any Borrower or any other party or any security.

        (b)     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to advise the Company of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

        12.09    Nature of Liability. It is the desire and intent of the Company and the Guaranteed Creditors that this Guaranty shall be enforced against the Company to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the Company under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and the Company shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.

        12.10    No Fiduciary or Implied Duties. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’understanding, that in acting as a Lead Agent, no Lead Agent will have responsibility except as set forth in this Agreement and shall in no event be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. The Company waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against any Lead Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

105

        12.11    Termination of Existing Credit Agreement. The Company and the Lenders that are parties to the Existing Credit Agreement agree that concurrently with the effectiveness hereof, all “Commitments” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be of no further force or effect (except for provisions thereof that by their terms survive termination thereof).
