Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof.

(ii) Repayments, Continuations and Conversions. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or notice by telephone or telecopy followed immediately by a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (A) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to each applicable Payment Date, specifying whether all or a portion of any Eurodollar Advance outstanding on such Payment Date is to be continued in whole or in part as a Eurodollar Advance, in which case such notice shall also specify the Eurodollar Advance Period which the Borrower shall have selected for such continued Eurodollar Advance, (B) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to each applicable Payment Date, specifying whether all or any portion of any Eurodollar Advance outstanding on such Payment Date, is to be converted in whole or in part to a Base Rate Advance, or (C) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on each applicable Payment Date, specifying whether all or any portion of any Eurodollar Advance outstanding on such Payment Date, is to be repaid and not continued or converted.

Eurodollar Advance will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so repaid, continued or converted, as applicable.

(iii) Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement which may be construed to the contrary, each Eurodollar Advance shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and at no time shall the aggregate number of all Eurodollar Advances exceed twelve (12).

(d) Telephone Notice. The failure by the Borrower to confirm any notice by telephone or telecopy with a Request for Advance or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable, shall not invalidate any notice so given. The Administrative Agent may rely upon telephonic instructions reasonably believed given by any Authorized Signatory of the Borrower and shall have no obligation to inquire into the propriety of any such instructions.

(e) Notification of Lenders. Upon receipt of a Request for Advance, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section 2.2 from the Borrower, or a request by an Issuing Bank for reimbursement under Section 2.15 hereof, or a request or a deemed request by the Swing Loan Lender for repayment of any outstanding Swing Loans under Section 2.8(b) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents thereof and the amount of such Lender’s portion of the applicable Advance. Each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified in such notice, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, or at such account as the Administrative Agent shall designate, the amount of its portion of the applicable Advance in immediately available funds, except, in the case of Term B Loans, to the extent such Lender elects to convert Existing Term Loans into Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(f) Disbursement. Prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of an Advance hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.2 and in Article 4 hereof, disburse the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds by (i) transferring the amounts so made available by wire transfer pursuant to the instructions of the Borrower, or (ii) in the absence of such instructions, crediting the amounts so made available to the account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Advance, and so long as notice has been given as provided in Section 2.2(e) hereof, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Advance and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion and in

reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for such period. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the applicable Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, together with all interest accrued thereon at the interest rate that would have applied to such Advance had such Lender funded its portion thereof. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Advance on the date of such borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender. In the event that, at any time when the Borrower is not in Default and has otherwise satisfied all of the conditions to funding set forth in this Agreement, a Lender for any reason fails or refuses to fund its portion of an Advance, then, until such time as such Lender has funded its portion of such Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect to such advance, such non-funding Lender shall (i) have no right to vote regarding any issue on which voting is required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the calculation of Majority Lenders with respect solely to such votes shall be adjusted as if such non-funding Lender has no Commitments and no Loans outstanding, and (ii) be entitled to receive no payments of principal, interest or fees from the Borrower in respect of such Loans which such Lender failed to make. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to fund its portion of any Advance.

(e) Computation of Interest. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of making the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if an Advance is repaid on the date that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be due with respect to such Advance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any prepayment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6, the amount of such prepayment shall be applied to prepay, on a pro rata basis, the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans. Accrued interest and fees on the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid and the Commitments being reduced pursuant to this Section 2.6 to the date of such prepayment or reduction shall be paid by the Borrower concurrently with such reduction and prepayment. In connection with any mandatory repayment due under this Section 2.6, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on demand, for any loss or out-of-pocket expense actually incurred by any of them in connection with such repayment of any Eurodollar Advances as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Term B Loans each shall have the right to decline any mandatory partial prepayment of the Term B Loans, in which case the amount of such prepayment shall be applied to prepay the Revolving Loans, with a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment, in the manner set forth above.

Section 2.7 Repayment. The Borrower hereby promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full to the Lenders as follows and as and when otherwise due and payable under the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements:

(a) Revolving Loan Commitment. Commencing on December 31, 2009, the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be reduced automatically and permanently on the last Business Day of each quarter and on the Initial Maturity Date (which reduction shall be inclusive of any reduction pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof during such quarter) as set forth below:

Quarters Ended	Amount of Quarterly Reduction (which shall include any reductions made during such quarter pursuant to Section 2.5)

December 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010	$	35,000,000

December 31, 2010 through Initial Maturity Date	$	52,500,000

As of the date of each reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment as set forth above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the amount necessary to reduce the principal amount of the Revolving Loans, plus Swing Loans, plus L/C Obligations, then outstanding to not more than the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced, together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid and the commitment fee set forth in Section 2.4(b) hereof accrued through the date of the reduction with respect to the amount reduced. Any unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans and any other outstanding Obligations in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be due and payable in full on the Initial Maturity Date.

(b) Term B Loans. Commencing on June 30, 2005, and at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, the principal balance of the Term B Loans then outstanding shall be repaid as set forth below:

Quarters Ended	Amount of Quarterly Repayment (which shall include any repayments made during such quarter pursuant to Section 2.5)

June 30, 2005 through March 31, 2011	$	1,500,000

June 30, 2011 through Final Maturity Date	$	141,000,000

Any unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Term B Loans and any other outstanding Obligations (other than any outstanding Obligations under any of the Incremental Facility Commitments) shall be due and payable in full on the Final Maturity Date.

(c) Incremental Facility Loans. Any unpaid principal and interest of the Incremental Facility Loans and any other outstanding Obligations under any of the Incremental Facility Commitments shall be due and payable in full on the Incremental Facility Maturity Date applicable thereto.

(d) Overadvances. In addition to the foregoing, if, at any time, the amount of the Revolving Loans, plus Swing Loans, plus L/C Obligations, then outstanding shall exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately make a repayment of principal in an amount equal to such excess, which repayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans as set forth in Section 2.12 hereof.

(e) Letter of Credit Advances and Swing Loans. All Base Rate Advances made pursuant to draws under Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans shall be deemed to be Advances under the Revolving Loan Commitment and shall be due and payable on the Initial Maturity Date.

Section 2.8 Swing Loans.

(a) Swing Loan Advances.

(i) Notices; Disbursement. Whenever the Borrower desires an Advance of the Swing Loans hereunder it shall give irrevocable notice to the Swing Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the requested Advance by telephone, followed immediately by a confirmation of such request in writing in the form of Exhibit M hereto (a “Swing Loan Request”). Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Loan Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing such Advance to the Borrower by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day specified by the Borrower in the applicable Swing Loan Request.

(ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Advance of the Swing Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000, in excess thereof.

(b) Repayment of Swing Loans. Each Advance of the Swing Loans shall be due and payable on the earliest of (i) seven (7) days from the date of such Advance, (ii) the date of the next Advance of the Revolving Loans, or (iii) the Initial Maturity Date; provided, however, the Borrower may prepay any Swing Loan Advance prior to the date it is due upon notice to the Swing Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of prepayment of such Advance. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. If, and to the extent, any Swing Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Advance of the Revolving Loans, such Swing Loans shall be repaid from the proceeds of such Advance of the Revolving Loans prior to any distribution of such proceeds to the Borrower. If, and to the extent, an Advance of the Revolving Loans is not requested prior to earlier of (A) the Initial Maturity Date or (B) the last day of any such seven (7) day period from the date of any Advance of the Swing Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base

Rate Loan on the Business Day immediately preceding the Initial Maturity Date or the last day of such seven (7) day period, as applicable, in the amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay the Swing Loan Lender for such Swing Loans. In addition, the Swing Loan Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, require repayment of its Swing Loans by way of a Revolving Loan, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such Swing Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to have been given one (1) Business Day prior to the Initial Maturity Date and upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(i) or 9.1(j) hereof and also upon acceleration of the Obligations, whether on account of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(i) or 9.1(j) hereof or any other Event of Default, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof following an Event of Default (each such Revolving Loan made on account of any such deemed request therefor as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as a “Mandatory Borrowing”). Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Loans promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date, notwithstanding (I) the amount of Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Article 4 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure for any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.2, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (VI) any reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment relating thereto immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to make such Revolving Loans if, at the time that the Swing Loan Lender agreed to fund any Swing Loan Request, the Swing Loan Lender had knowledge of the existence of an Event of Default or such Mandatory Borrowing would cause a Lender to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Loan Lender such participations in the outstanding Swing Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swing Loans ratably based upon its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 9.2), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swing Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Loan Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased, and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay (to the extent not paid by the Borrower) to the

Swing Loan Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of the Mandatory Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.

(c) Interest on Swing Loans. Swing Loans shall bear interest at the simple per annum interest rate equal to the sum of (x) the Base Rate and (y) the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Base Rate Advances of the Revolving Loans, computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days for the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, that (i) from and after any failure to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of any of the Loans hereunder when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at scheduled or accelerated maturity or on account of any mandatory prepayment or (ii) while any Swing Loans in which the Lenders have acquired participations pursuant to Section 2.8(b) hereof remain outstanding, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on, Swing Loans shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Default Rate. Interest on each Swing Loan shall be payable in arrears on the date payment of such Swing Loan is due pursuant to Section 2.8(b) hereof.

(d) Reporting. Unless the Swing Loan Lender is the Administrative Agent, the Swing Loan Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on Friday of each week and on each date the Administrative Agent notifies the Swing Loan Lender that the Borrower has made a Request for Advance or the Administrative Agent otherwise requests the same, an accounting for the outstanding Swing Loans in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Termination of Swing Loans; Designation of Swing Loan Lender. Unless a Default or an Event of Default then exists, the Swing Loan Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice before exercising its discretion herein not to make Swing Loans. The Borrower must give ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any change in designation of the Swing Loan Lender. The replaced Swing Loan Lender shall continue to be a “Swing Loan Lender” for purposes of repayment of any Swing Loans made prior to such replacement and outstanding after such replacement.

Section 2.9 Notes; Loan Accounts.

(a) The Loans shall be repayable in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein. Upon the request of any Lender, (i) a Revolving Note shall be issued by the Borrower to the order of such Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage, and (ii) a Term B Note shall be issued by the Borrower to the order of such Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Term B Commitment Percentage. The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by the Swing Loan Note, which Swing Loan Note shall be issued by the Borrower and payable to the order of the

Swing Loan Lender in the amount of the Swing Loan Committed Amount. If applicable, an Incremental Facility Loan Note shall be issued by the Borrower to the order of any Incremental Facility Lender in accordance with its pro rata share of the Incremental Facility Commitments. Any Notes issued by the Borrower shall be duly executed and delivered by one or more Authorized Signatories of the Borrower.

(b) Each Lender may open and maintain on its books in the name of the Borrower a loan account with respect to the Loans and interest thereon. Each Lender which opens such loan account or accounts shall debit the applicable loan account for the principal amount of each Advance made by it and accrued interest thereon, and shall credit such loan account for each payment on account of principal of or interest on the Loans. The records of each Lender with respect to the loan accounts maintained by it shall be prima facie evidence of the Loans and accrued interest thereon, but the failure to maintain such records shall not impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Indebtedness hereunder.

(c) Each Advance of the Revolving Loans from the Lenders (other than the Swing Loan Lender) under this Agreement shall be made pro rata by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.

Section 2.10 Manner of Payment.

(a) Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans, commitment fees, and any other amount owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement or such other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent to an account designated by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day for purposes of interest and fee accrual. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute the amount so received in like funds to such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders accordingly.

(b) If any payment under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loans shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

(c) Except as otherwise provided below, any and all payments by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party under this

Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loans shall be made without set-off or counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.

(i) Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, any and all payments by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties, or any of them, under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loans shall be made without any deduction or withholding for present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding, however, franchise, withholding, branch or other similar taxes, duties, fees or charges imposed on or measured by any Credit Party’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).

(ii) If the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any amounts payable hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Loans to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party, (A) except as otherwise provided in this Section, the sum payable shall be increased (“Additional Amounts”) as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10(c)), the Administrative Agent or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Moreover, if any Taxes (which for purposes of this sentence shall include taxes and charges imposed on or measured by net income or receipts of any Credit Party by any jurisdiction to the extent imposed on Additional Amounts) are directly asserted against any Credit Party with respect to any payment received by such Credit Party hereunder, such Credit Party may pay such Taxes, and, except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received and retained by such Credit Party after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Credit Party would have received and retained had no such Taxes been asserted; provided, however, such Credit Party shall give written notice to the Borrower, accompanied by, to the extent provided by the relevant taxing authority, a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded and evidence of the Taxes imposed on such Credit Party, after such Credit Party has actual knowledge of the imposition of any Taxes. Where notice is not given to the Borrower within forty-five (45) days after the Credit Party receives written notice of the assertion of Taxes and the Borrower does not otherwise have notice of such assertion, the Borrower shall not be required to pay penalties, additions to taxes, expenses, and interest accruing on such Taxes from the date forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the Credit Party of written notice of the assertion of such Taxes until the date that the Borrower receives such notice. The Borrower shall furnish to such Credit Party within forty-five (45) days (or as soon thereafter as available) after the date the payment of any

Taxes is due pursuant to Applicable Law true and correct copies of tax receipts evidencing payment by the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, if the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes that it is required to pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any of the Credit Parties the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Credit Parties for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Credit Parties primarily as a result of any such failure.

(iii) Each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no later than the date hereof (or if such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by assignment or otherwise) after the date hereof, the date upon which such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto), (A) two (2) complete, duly executed original IRS Forms W-8ECI or IRS Forms W-8BEN, or any successors thereto, establishing that such Foreign Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive any and all payments from the Borrower under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loans free from withholding of United States federal income tax or (B) in the case of such Foreign Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver either form listed in clause (b)(iii)(A), (I) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Foreign Lender to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and (II) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or successor applicable form, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States federal withholding tax on payments of interest. Each Foreign Lender shall, from time to time, deliver updated or corrected IRS Forms W-8ECI, IRS Forms W-8BEN or Exemption Certificates, or any successors thereto, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent and in the manner required under United States federal tax law. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts under Section 2.10(c)(ii) hereof to a Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender (I) fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.10(c)(iii) hereof or, (II) fails to qualify for a complete reduction or exemption of United States federal tax withholding for any reason other than a change in the United States federal tax law, or the official interpretation thereof, in each case, after the delivery of IRS Forms W-8ECI, IRS Forms W-8BEN or an Exemption Certificate, or any successors thereto, or (III) is treated as a “conduit entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the date of an assignment pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the assignor was entitled to payments under Section 2.10(c)(ii) hereof, then, to such extent, the assignee shall not be required to deliver IRS Forms W-8ECI, IRS Forms W-8BEN or an Exemption Certificate, or any successors thereto, establishing a withholding rate for such Foreign Lender that is less than the rate the

assignor was subject to, and the assignee shall be entitled to receive Additional Amounts to such extent the assignor was so entitled.

(iv) Each of the Credit Parties agrees that it will, to the extent reasonable and without material cost or risk to it, (A) take all actions reasonably requested by the Borrower to maintain all exemptions, if any, available to it from United States federal withholding taxes (whether available by treaty, statute, or existing administrative waiver) and (B) otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 2.10(c), including the contest of any asserted tax liability.

(v) Any Credit Party that becomes aware that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by offset) in respect of Additional Amounts paid by the Borrower, which refund would reasonably be considered allocable to or resulting from such payment or indemnification made pursuant to this Section 2.10, shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request from the Borrower, apply for such refund with the Borrower being responsible for any incremental costs associated with such refund request; provided, however, that (A) the Borrower shall not be entitled to any damages as a result of the failure of such Credit Party to so notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and (B) the Borrower shall not have the right to examine the books or records of any Credit Party. If any Credit Party receives any such refund (as described in the preceding sentence), it shall promptly repay the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Credit Party, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to the applicable authority.

(vi) If the Borrower is or becomes required to pay any Additional Amounts to a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall have the right, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Credit Party, to (A) prepay without penalty, on a non-pro rata basis, all or any portion of a Loan held by such Credit Party plus all interest and Additional Amounts owing to such Credit Party as of the date of such prepayment, (B) require such Credit Party to use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan under this Agreement or to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, or (C) require such Credit Party to effect an assignment of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Credit Party designated by the Borrower if, in the case of clause (B) or (C), such designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 in the future and (y) would not cause the imposition on such Credit Party of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Credit Party to be material or otherwise disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

Section 2.11 Reimbursement. Whenever any Lender shall actually incur any losses or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (a) the failure by the Borrower to convert, continue or borrow any Eurodollar Advance after having given notice of its intention to convert, continue or borrow such Eurodollar Advance in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of the election of the Borrower not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 4 hereof) other than a failure to borrow resulting from an unavailability which occurs after notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof, (b) the prepayment of any Eurodollar Advance in whole or in part (including a prepayment pursuant to Sections 11.2 and 11.3(b) hereof), or (c) the failure by the Borrower to prepay any Advance after notice of prepayment has been given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon the earlier of such Lender’s demand or the applicable Maturity Date, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses and out-of-pocket expenses, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive. Upon request of the Borrower, any Lender seeking reimbursement under this Section 2.11 shall provide a certificate setting forth the amount to be paid to it by the Borrower hereunder and calculations therefor.

Section 2.12 Application of Payments.

(a) Prior to the Final Maturity Date or the acceleration of the Loans under Section 9.2 hereof, and other than with respect to payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof (which shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.6), if some but less than all amounts due from the Borrower are received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will distribute such amounts as follows: FIRST, pro rata among the Credit Parties based on the total amount of such fees, costs and expenses, to the payment of any fees, costs and expenses then due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; SECOND, pro rata among the Lenders based on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid interest then due and payable on the Loans; THIRD, pro rata among the Lenders based on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid principal of the Loans; and FOURTH, pro rata among the Credit Parties based on the amount of such Obligations outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to the payment of any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.12(a) then due and payable.

(b) Subsequent to the Final Maturity Date or the acceleration of the Loans under Section 9.2 hereof, payments made to any Credit Party, or otherwise received by any Credit Party (from realization on Collateral or otherwise), shall be distributed as follows: FIRST, to the costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Credit Parties, or any of them, to the extent permitted by Section 12.2 hereof, in the collection of such amounts under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including,

without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred in connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations; SECOND, pro rata among the Credit Parties based on the total amount of fees then due and payable, to any fees then due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document and to any other fees then due and payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; THIRD, pro rata among the Lenders based on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid interest which may have accrued on the Loans; FOURTH, pro rata (i) among the Lenders based on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid principal of the Loans and (ii) to the payment of any Obligation arising in respect of the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements having aggregate notional amounts not to exceed the Commitments; FIFTH, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.12(b) until all such Obligations are paid in full; SIXTH, pro rata among the Credit Parties based on the amount of damages outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to damages incurred by the Credit Parties, or any of them, by reason of any breach of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents; and SEVENTH, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

(c) If any Lender shall obtain any payment on any date (whether involuntary or otherwise) on account of the Loans (excluding any Swing Loans) made by it in excess of its ratable share of the payments made by the Borrower to the Credit Parties on such date (in the aggregate), such that, after giving effect thereto, such Lender’s outstanding Loans (excluding any Swing Loans) are less than such Lender’s ratable share of all the Loans then outstanding (in the aggregate) in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by such other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to each purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation so long as the Obligations are not increased as a result of such participation. If the Swing Loan Lender shall receive any payment on any date on account of its Swing Loans in excess the amount to which it is entitled in accordance with Section 2.8(b), the Swing Loan Lender shall remit the amount of such excess to the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent may direct in accordance with Section 2.8(b).

Section 2.13 Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that a Regulatory Change has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking

into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, ten (10) days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, together with a certificate (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) setting forth the calculations evidencing such requested additional amount, and the law or regulation with respect thereto and certifying that such request is consistent with such Lender’s treatment of other similar customers having similar provisions generally in their agreements with such Lender and that such request is being made on the basis of a reasonable allocation of the costs resulting from such law or regulation, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. Allocations shall not be deemed reasonable unless made ratably, to the extent practicable, to all affected assets, commitments, activities or other relevant aspects of such Lender’s business, whether or not the Lender is entitled to compensation with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender for any amount under this subsection arising or occurring during (a) in the case of each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender submits such request and (b) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender reasonably could not have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise. Each Lender will notify the Borrower that it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this subsection as promptly as practicable after it determines to request such compensation; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not restrict the ability of such Lender to be reimbursed under this Section 2.13.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facility Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may request Incremental Facility Commitments on any Business Day; provided, however, that the Borrower may not request Incremental Facility Commitments or an Incremental Facility Loan during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation, any Default or Event of Default that would result after giving effect to any Incremental Facility Loan; and provided further, that the Borrower may request up to three (3) Incremental Facility Commitments (each of which commitments may be from more than one Lender) which may be no less than $50,000,000 and no more than $300,000,000 in the aggregate. Each Incremental Facility Commitment shall have a weighted average life to maturity equal to or greater than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loan Commitment. In requesting Incremental Facility Commitments, the Borrower shall offer each of the Lenders an opportunity to provide an Incremental Facility Commitment; provided that none of the Lenders shall be required to issue an Incremental Facility Commitment and the decision of any Lender to issue or not issue an Incremental Facility Commitment to the Borrower shall be at such Lender’s sole discretion after being offered such right of first refusal (and

the failure to respond to any such offer by the requested deadline shall be deemed a refusal). Persons not then Lenders may be included as Lenders having Incremental Facility Commitments with the written approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Facility Commitments (i) may be in the form of a revolving or a term credit facility and may be structured as an institutional tranche, (ii) must not (A) have scheduled amortization providing for principal repayments or commitment reductions earlier than, or in an amount on a percentage basis larger than, those dates or amounts set forth in the amortization schedule for the Term B Loans set forth herein, or (B) be secured by more or different collateral than the Loans hereunder, and (iii) must be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and be subject to terms and conditions not more restrictive than those set forth herein and therein for the Loans.

(b) Prior to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Commitment, the Borrower shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a notice (each a “Notice of Incremental Facility Commitment”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth terms and provisions with respect to interest rates and scheduled amortization with respect to the proposed Incremental Facility Loan and (ii) provide revised projections to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and which shall demonstrate the Borrower’s ability to timely repay such Incremental Facility Commitment and any Incremental Facility Loans thereunder and to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) No Incremental Facility Commitment shall by itself result in any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment or the Term B Loan Commitment or of the Commitment Percentages with respect thereto of such Lender issuing such Incremental Facility Commitment.

(d) Advances of the Incremental Facility Loans (i) shall bear interest at the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate or such other reasonable rate agreed to by the Lenders making such Incremental Facility Loans; (ii) subject to Section 2.14(a) hereof, shall be repaid as agreed to by the Borrower and the Lenders making such Incremental Facility Loans; (iii) shall for all purposes be Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents; (iv) shall be represented by promissory notes which set forth terms and provisions with respect to interest rates and scheduled amortization with respect to such Incremental Facility Loans and are in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (each, an “Incremental Facility Note”), and (v) shall rank pari passu with the Loans for purposes of Sections 2.12 and 9.2 hereof (unless the applicable Incremental Facility Lender shall otherwise agree in writing to have its Incremental Facility Loans be junior to the Loans).

(e) Incremental Facility Loans shall be requested by the Borrower pursuant to a request (which shall be substantially in the form of a Request for

Advance) delivered in the same manner as a Request for Advance, but shall be funded pro rata only by those Lenders that hold the applicable Incremental Facility Commitments.

(f) In the event that the interest rate applicable to any of the Incremental Facility Loans (including, without limitation, any original issue discount in respect of such Incremental Facility Loans) shall exceed the interest rate applicable to the Term B Loans by more than twenty-five (25) basis points, the Applicable Margin for the Term B Loans shall automatically be increased such that the interest rate applicable to the Term B Loans is twenty-five (25) basis points less than the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Facility Loans without any action or consent of the Borrower or any Lender.

Section 2.15 Letters of Credit.

(a) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice from the Borrower in the form of a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such notice to the Issuing Bank or, if requested by the Borrower, to another Lender agreeing to act as an Issuing Bank (and if such Lender shall accept and countersign such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, such Lender shall become the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit), and the applicable Issuing Bank will issue a Letter of Credit in the amount requested subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and further subject to the following: (i) after giving effect to the requested issuance, the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder would not exceed the Letter of Credit Committed Amount; and (ii) after giving effect to the requested issuance, the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations then outstanding, plus the aggregate amount of Swing Loans then outstanding, plus the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall have a maturity extending beyond the earlier of (x) a term of one (1) year from the date of issuance or (y) the Initial Maturity Date. Subject to the maturity limitations provided herein and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby, Letters of Credit shall be renewable annually upon the request of the Borrower and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld but shall be subject to compliance with customary letter of credit practices at the times of any proposed renewal. Each Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit from the Borrower shall specify in reasonable detail the documents which must be presented to draw under such Letter of Credit, which specification shall include all documents which the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

(b) If a Letter of Credit provides that it is automatically renewable unless notice is given by the Issuing Bank with respect thereto that it will not be renewed, such Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall give notice of non-renewal to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last date on which a

notice of non-renewal may be given to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and, unless so directed by the Majority Lenders at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last date on which a notice of non-renewal may be given to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit shall not be bound to give notice of non-renewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby, each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Issuing Bank to issue, reconfirm, reissue and extend each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Issuing Bank hereby sells, and each other Lender that has issued a Revolving Loan Commitment hereby purchases, on a continuing basis, a participation and an undivided interest in (A) the obligations of such Issuing Bank to honor any draws under the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Issuing Bank under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it, such participation being in the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such obligations and Indebtedness based on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage, in each case without further action by any party.

(d) Upon receipt of a draw certificate from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn notify the Borrower and each Lender that has issued a Revolving Loan Commitment, by telephone or telecopy, of the amount of the requested draw and, in the case of each such Lender, such Lender’s portion of such draw amount as calculated in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

(e) The Borrower hereby irrevocably requests, and the Lenders that have issued Revolving Loan Commitments hereby severally agree to make, a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower (notwithstanding the minimum amount requirements otherwise applicable to Base Rate Advances) on each day on which a draw is made under any Letter of Credit and in the amount of such draw, and each such Lender shall fund such Lender’s share of such Base Rate Advance by payment to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2(e) hereof and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, without reduction for any set-off counterclaim of any nature whatsoever. The obligation of each such Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall be absolute and unconditional, and no such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to make such payments by reason of non-compliance by any other Person with the terms of any Letter of Credit or for any other reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received from the applicable Lenders.

(f) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, except for such actions or omissions as shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any such Letter of Credit after presentation to it of documents complying with the terms of such Letter of Credit, shall be binding on the Borrower as between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank, and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lenders for Advances made to reimburse any Issuing Bank for draws under the Letters of Credit issued by it shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document;

(ii) Any amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any or all of the Loan Documents;

(iii) Any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith;

(iv) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or any Lender (other than the defense of payment to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction;

(v) Any statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence of willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank;

(vi) The insolvency of any Person issuing any documents in connection with any Letter of Credit;

(vii) Any breach of any agreement between the Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit;

(viii) Any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit;

(ix) Any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, wireless or otherwise, whether or not they are in code;

(x) Any act, error, neglect or default, omission, insolvency or failure of business of any of the correspondents of the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that the same shall not have constituted the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank;

(xi) Any other circumstances arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank;

(xii) Payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; and

(xiii) Any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender.

(g) If, after the Agreement Date, any change in Applicable Law, any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or any change in compliance with Applicable Law by any Issuing Bank or any other Lender as a result of any request or directive of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other requirements or conditions against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Bank or against participations by any other Lender in the Letters of Credit or (ii) impose on any Issuing Bank or any other Lender any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing in the reasonable determination of such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, is to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank or such Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, as the case may be, by an amount (which amount shall be reasonably determined) deemed by such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be material, and the designation of a different lending office will not avoid the need for (or reduce the amount of) additional compensation, then, on the earlier of ten (10) days following the date of demand (which demand shall be made not later than six (6) months following such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s determination of a need for

additional compensation) by such Issuing Bank or such Lender or the Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, determines will compensate it for such increased costs. Within sixty (60) days of such written demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower may, in its discretion, provide a replacement bank or banks for such Issuing Bank or such Lender, which replacement bank or banks will be subject to the approval of the Arranger Banks and the Majority Lenders (which approval, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld), and shall take all necessary actions to transfer the rights, duties and obligations of such Issuing Bank or such Lender to such replacement bank or banks within such 60-day period. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount, and in reasonable detail the basis for such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s determination of such amount, to be paid to such Issuing Bank or such Lender by the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this paragraph shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive. Such certificate shall be delivered to the Borrower with each written demand for payment referenced above. Each Issuing Bank and each Lender further agree that they shall use their best efforts to give the Borrower thirty (30) days’ prior notice, and in any event shall give prompt notice, of any event referred to in this paragraph which may have the effect of materially increasing the cost to such Issuing Bank or such Lender of issuing or maintaining the Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participation therein.

(h) Each Lender shall be responsible for its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage) of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) and disbursements which may be incurred or made by any Issuing Bank in connection with the collection of any amounts due under, the administrative of, or the presentation or enforcement of any rights conferred by any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to reimburse or otherwise. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay such expenses of any Issuing Bank within thirty (30) days of demand for payment by such Issuing Bank, provided that such Issuing Bank has, during such 30-day period, made a diligent collection effort with respect to such expenses, and provided that such costs will not result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank, each Lender shall thereupon pay to such Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage) of such expenses within ten (10) days from the date of such Issuing Bank’s notice to the Lenders of the Borrower’s failure to pay; provided, however, that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall thereafter pay such expense, such Issuing Bank will repay to each Lender the amounts received from such Lender hereunder.

ARTICLE 3 - Guarantee

Section 3.1 Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Credit Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns and the subsequent holders of the Obligations (including, without

limitation, any interest on the Loans accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not such interest accrues or is recoverable against the Borrower after the filing of such petition for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim in such proceeding), irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements or the Obligations of any of the Borrower Parties hereunder or thereunder, the value or sufficiency of any Collateral or any other circumstance that might otherwise affect the liability of a guarantor, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Loans or any other of such Obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. The foregoing guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be obligated, jointly and severally, to pay the same immediately.

Section 3.2 Waivers and Releases. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives notice of, and consents to, any extension of time of payment, renewals, releases of Collateral, delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain, perfect, or maintain perfection of, or realize upon Collateral or other indulgence from time to time granted by any of the Credit Parties in respect of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreement. Each of the Guarantors hereby releases the Borrower from all, and agrees not to assert or enforce (whether by or in a legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise), any “claims” (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(4)), whether arising under Applicable Law or otherwise, to which such Guarantors are or would be entitled by virtue of their obligations hereunder, any payment made pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Credit Parties of their rights with respect to any Collateral, including any such claims to which such Guarantors may be entitled as a result of any right of subrogation, exoneration or reimbursement. To the extent not released by such Guarantors under this Article 3, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement or contribution in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby. With respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements, each of the Guarantors hereby waives presentment, protest, demand of payment, notice of dishonor and all other notices and demands whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 9.2 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Section 9.2 hereof, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each of the Guarantors for purposes of this

Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of any of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Credit Parties on demand for reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Credit Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration. Each Guarantor further agrees with the Borrower for the benefit of each of its creditors (including, without limitation, the Credit Parties) that any payment referred to in this Article 3 by a Guarantor shall constitute a contribution of capital by such Guarantor to the Borrower (or an investment in the equity capital of the Borrower by such Guarantor).

Section 3.3 Miscellaneous.

(a) Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary of the Borrower or of any surety or guarantor of any of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, the rights of the Credit Parties against the Guarantors shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any Credit Party to prove its claim, or to prove its full claim, and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Credit Parties of any Guarantor.

(b) Each of the Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense, set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Article 3 or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or the obligations of any other Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrower) relating to this Article 3 or the obligations of any other guarantor with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by any Credit Party to collect the Obligations or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 3.

(c) If a claim is ever made upon any of the Credit Parties for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including the Borrower, then in such event the Guarantors agree that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and the Guarantors shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder

for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.

(d) The Guarantors expressly represent and acknowledge that any financial accommodations by the Credit Parties, or any of them, to the Borrower, including, without limitation, the extension of the Loans, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to the Guarantors.

(e) It is the intention of each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Credit Parties that each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 3 shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as herein defined). The “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall mean the maximum amount which could be paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the Guaranty contained in this Article 3 void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any insolvency proceeding involving any state or any federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(f) Pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof, any new Subsidiary of the Borrower is required to enter into this Agreement for purposes of joining in this Guarantee by executing and delivering in favor of the Credit Parties a Guarantee Supplement. Upon the execution and delivery of a Guarantee Supplement by such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor hereunder shall not require the consent of any party of this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.

The Borrower has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Credit Parties the financial statements required pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(xii) hereof, all of which are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly in accordance with GAAP the financial position of the Rainbow Group as at the dates thereof, and the results of operations for the periods ended as of such dates, subject to normal year-end adjustments with respect to any unaudited statements.

Each of such Plans is in compliance in all material respects with their terms, ERISA and the Code. None of such Plans has a material “accumulated funding deficiency” within the meaning of ERISA or the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred any material liability to the PBGC in connection with any such Plan.

No party in interest, fiduciary, trustee or administrator of any such Plan or trust created thereunder has committed a material breach of its fiduciary duty or knowingly participated in any violation of ERISA which would subject the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates to a material penalty under Section 502 of ERISA. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(m), none of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates is a participant in or obliged to make any payment to a Multiemployer Plan. Except as required by Sections 601 through 609 of ERISA or as disclosed on Schedule 5.1(m), Section 4980(B) of the Code and applicable state law, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any oral or written commitments to provide post-employment health or life insurance coverage with respect to any former or current employee. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates have properly classified individuals providing services to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates as employees and

Except to the extent that there is not likely to be a Materially Adverse Effect resulting from such ineffectiveness or non-compliance, all such licenses and rights with respect to patents, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks and copyrights are in full force and effect, and to the extent applicable, each of the Rainbow Companies is in full compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions thereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(n) attached hereto (as amended by the Borrower upon written notice to the Lenders from time to time), no such patent, trademark, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks, copyrights or licenses is subject to any pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened attack or revocation.

(q) Accuracy and Completeness of Information. None of the financial statements or any written statements delivered to any of the Credit Parties pursuant to this Agreement contains, as at the date of delivery thereof, any untrue statement of material fact nor do such financial statements, and such written statements, taken as a whole, omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. As of the Agreement Date and as supplemented by the Borrower from time to time pursuant to Section 7.4(f), Schedule 5.1(q) attached hereto sets forth certain summary information with respect to each Material Affiliation Agreement and each Material Film Rights Agreement to which any of the Borrower Parties is a party.

Parts 221 and 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin stock”). None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purpose which would constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of said Regulations U and X. Neither the Borrower nor any bank acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which would cause this Agreement or the Notes to violate Regulation U or X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a statement or statements in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U of said Board of Governors and (ii) other documents evidencing its compliance with the margin regulations, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

(l) There shall be at any time (i) any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA or in Section 412 of the Code) with respect to any Plan maintained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, has any material liabilities, or any trust created thereunder, or (ii) a trustee appointed by a United States District Court to administer any such Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA, or (iii) proceedings instituted by the PBGC to terminate any such Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA, or (iv) incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries any liability to the PBGC in connection with the distress termination of any such Plan under Section 4041(c) of ERISA; or any fiduciary of, or party in interest to, any Plan or trust created under any Plan of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall engage in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) which would subject the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to a tax on “prohibited transactions” imposed by Section 4975 of the Code, or (v) any fiduciary of, or party in interest to, any Plan or trust created under any Plan of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall engage in a breach of fiduciary responsibility or knowingly participate in any violation of ERISA; or any Plan of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code shall have its application for or a favorable IRS determination with respect to the qualification requirements under such section of the Code denied by the IRS, or have the IRS revoke its previously issued determination; and in each case, such event or condition, together with other such events or conditions, if any, would subject the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any tax, liability or penalty in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate;

ARTICLE 10 - The Agents

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any transferee of any of its interest in its Commitments and Loans irrevocably to appoint and authorize, each of the Agents to take such actions as its agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and under the Security Documents as are delegated by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and as may be provided by any Loan Document. Any action taken by any of the Agents under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be taken for itself and for the ratable benefit of each of the other Credit Parties, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document. None of the Agents nor any of their respective Lender Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Syndication Agent and neither of the Co-Documentation Agents shall have any obligations under this Agreement in such capacity.

Section 10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agents may execute any of their respective duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys selected by them, respectively, using reasonable care and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Agents shall be responsible to any of the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys selected by any of them, respectively, with reasonable care.

Section 10.3 Interest Holders. The Agents may treat each Lender, or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.3, as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender in its Commitments and its Loans until written notice of transfer, signed by such Lender (or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent) and by the Person designated in such written notice of transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.4 Consultation with Counsel. Each of the Agents may consult with legal counsel selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

Section 10.5 Documents. None of the Agents shall be under any duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, or genuineness of this Agreement or any instrument, document, or communication furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, and each of the Agents shall be entitled to assume that they are valid, effective, and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties, and are what they purport to be.

Section 10.6 Security Documents; Release of Collateral. (a) The Administrative Agent, as administrative agent hereunder and under the Security Documents, is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Credit Parties, in its own capacity and through other agents and sub-agents appointed by it with due care, under the Security Documents and to file UCC-1 financing statement forms in connection therewith, provided that, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not agree to the release of any Collateral except in compliance with Sections 10.6(b) and 12.12 hereof. In connection with its role as secured party with respect to the Collateral hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act as administrative agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Credit Parties, and such role as administrative agent shall be disclosed on all appropriate accounts, certificates, filings, mortgages, and other collateral documentation.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby directs, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent to release any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties:

(i) against all of the Collateral, upon final and indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments; or

(ii) against any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by the Borrower Parties if such sale or disposition is permitted by Section 8.5(a) or (b) hereof or is otherwise consented to by the requisite Lenders for such release as set forth in Section 12.12, as certified to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in a certificate of an Authorized Signatory.

(c) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file or authorize the filing of such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to Section 10.6(b) hereof promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.6.

Section 10.7 Affiliates. With respect to the Commitments and the Loans, any Lender which is a Lender Affiliate of any Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender, and each Agent and its respective Lender Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Lender Affiliates of, or Persons doing business with, the Borrower, as if it were not affiliated with such Agent and without any obligation to account therefor.

Section 10.8 Responsibility of the Agents. The duties and obligations of the Agents under this Agreement are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless it has actual knowledge, or has been notified by the Borrower, of such fact, or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such Lender shall specify in detail the nature thereof in writing. None of the Agents shall be liable to any of the Lenders hereunder for any action taken or omitted to be taken except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 10.9 Action by Agents.

(a) Except for action requiring the approval of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, each Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement, unless such Agent shall have been instructed by the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, to exercise or refrain from exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action, provided that such Agent shall not exercise any rights under Section 9.2(a) of this Agreement without the request of the Majority Lenders. None of the Agents shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) None of the Agents shall be liable to the Lenders, or any of them, in acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders.

Section 10.10 Notice of Default or Event of Default. In the event that any of the Credit Parties shall acquire actual knowledge, or shall have been notified in writing, of any Default or Event of Default, such Credit Party shall promptly notify the other Credit Parties, and each Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing, and none of the Agents shall be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail to request an Agent to take action or to assert rights under this Agreement in respect of any Default or Event of Default within ten (10) days after their receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default from any Credit Party, or shall request inconsistent action with respect to such Default or Event of Default, such Agent may, but shall not be required to, take such action and assert such rights (other than rights under Article 9 hereof) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders, except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed such Agent not to take such action or assert such right, in no event shall such Agent act contrary to such instructions.

Section 10.11 Responsibility Disclaimed. None of the Agents shall be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever as such:

(a) To the Borrower or any other Person or entity as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by or any breach by, any Lender or Lenders of any of its or their obligations under this Agreement;

(b) To any Lender or Lenders, as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, the Borrower or any other obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; or

(c) To any Lender or Lenders for any statements, representations, or warranties in this Agreement, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any information provided pursuant to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Agents in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel), or

disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, except that no Lender shall be liable to such Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent.

Section 10.13 Credit Decision. Each Lender represents and warrants to each other and to each Agent that:

(a) In making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make Advances, it has independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower Parties and that it has made an independent credit judgment, and that it has not relied upon information provided by any Agent; and

(b) So long as any portion of the Loans remains outstanding, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower Parties.

Section 10.14 Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent (which shall be any Lender or a Lender Affiliate or a commercial lender organized under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof which has a combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000) as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time for cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint, subject to such Lender’s consent in its sole discretion, a successor Agent from among the Lenders or the Lender Affiliates. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be any Lender or a Lender Affiliate or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof which has combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties, and obligations of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.14 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

ARTICLE 11 - Change in Circumstances

Affecting Eurodollar Advances

Section 11.1 Eurodollar Basis Determination Inadequate or Unfair. Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be construed to the contrary, if with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Advance for any Eurodollar Advance Period, the Administrative Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of the Lenders in the relevant market for such Eurodollar Advance Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended.

Section 11.2 Illegality. If any Applicable Law, or any change therein, or any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Advances, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.2, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 hereof, the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance of such Lender so affected, together with accrued interest thereon, either (a) on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Advance Period applicable to such Advance if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Advance to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Advance to such day. Concurrently with repaying each Eurodollar Advance of such Lender, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 or Article 4 hereof, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Advance from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Base Rate Advance in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Loans immediately prior to such repayment.

Section 11.3 Increased Costs and Taxes.

(a) If any Regulatory Change:

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances, or its Eurodollar

Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Advances or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Advances (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office is located); or

(ii) Shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, assessment or other requirement or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or commitments or credit extended by any Lender, or shall impose on any Lender or the eurodollar interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Advances or its Eurodollar Advances;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any such Eurodollar Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of its Loans, then, in any such case, on the earlier of demand by such Lender or the applicable Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs. Each Lender requesting compensation will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 11.3 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 11.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender demands compensation under this Section 11.3, the Borrower may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender, prepay in full the then outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.11 hereof. Concurrently with prepaying such Eurodollar Advances, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Advance from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Base Rate Advance in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Loans immediately prior to such prepayment.

Section 11.4 Effect On Other Advances. If notice has been given pursuant to Section 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 hereof suspending the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Advances, or requiring Eurodollar Advances of any Lender to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Advances which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be made instead as Base Rate Advances.

Section 12.3 Waivers. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreements shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by the Credit Parties or the Majority Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof. The Credit Parties expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any funding of a request for an Advance. In the event the Lenders decide to fund a request for an Advance at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by the Lenders to fund any further requests for Advances or preclude the Lenders from exercising any rights available to the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Credit Parties or the Majority Lenders, or any of them, shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing by the Credit Parties or the Majority Lenders, or any of them, at variance with the terms of the Agreement such as to require further notice of their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of the Agreement in the future.

102

Section 12.4 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, after the applicable Maturity Date (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders and any Lender Affiliates are hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lenders or such Lender Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrower Parties, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any of the Borrower Parties to the Lenders under this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreement, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the Lenders shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Section 9.2 hereof and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Any sums obtained by any Lender or any Lender Affiliate shall be subject to the application of payments provisions of Article 2 hereof. Upon direction by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, after the applicable Maturity Date (whether by acceleration or otherwise), each Lender and each Lender Affiliate holding deposits of any of the Borrower Parties shall exercise its set-off rights as so directed.

(i) Except for (A) assignments made to any Federal Reserve Bank or which are otherwise permitted under Section 12.5(d) below and (B) assignments made between any Lender and any Lender Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or a Lender Affiliate of another Lender or to an Approved Fund, no assignment shall be made or sold without the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Except for (A) assignments made to any Federal Reserve Bank or which are otherwise permitted under Section 12.5(d) below and (B) assignments of the Term B Loans, no assignment shall be made or sold without the consent of the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) The Borrower and the Credit Parties agree that assignments permitted hereunder (including the assignment of any Advance or portion thereof) may be made with all voting rights, and shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent. An administrative fee of $3,500 with respect to each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered hereunder shall be payable to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender at the time of any assignment hereunder (except that in the case of assignments on the same day by a Lender to more than one fund managed or advised by the same investment advisor, only a single $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such assignments by such Lender to such funds). The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). Upon receipt of any Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered in accordance with the terms hereof (and payment of the $3,500 administrative fee related thereto), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contemplated by the foregoing sentence in the Register. No assignments shall be effective hereunder until the Loans and Commitments set forth in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement are recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall treat each

104

Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(iv) No participation agreement shall confer any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any purchaser thereof, or relieve any issuing Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and all actions hereunder shall be conducted as if no such participation had been granted; provided, however, that any participation agreement may confer on the participant the right to approve or disapprove changes in the interest rate and principal amount, fees and the applicable Maturity Date.

(v) Each Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with prompt written notice of any assignments of its interests hereunder.

(vi) No assignment, participation or other transfer of any rights hereunder shall be effected that would result in any interest requiring registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification under any state securities law.

(vii) No such assignment, participation or transfer of any rights hereunder may be made to any bank or other financial institution (A) with respect to which a receiver or conservator (including, without limitation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of Thrift Supervision) has been appointed or (B) that has failed to meet any of the capital requirements of its primary regulator or insurer.

(viii) If applicable, each Foreign Lender shall, and shall cause each of its assignees that becomes a Foreign Lender to provide to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Agreement Date or the effective date of any assignment, as the case may be, all appropriate IRS forms required to be delivered by such Foreign Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii) hereof.

(c) Except as specifically set forth in Section 12.5(b) hereof, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, issued to such Lender to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or its trustee in support of its obligations thereto; provided,

105

however, 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.

(e) An assigning Lender shall retain such indemnification and expense reimbursement rights to which such Lender was entitled pursuant to this Agreement to the effective date of the assignment of its rights hereunder.

Section 12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission of an adobe file format document (also known as a PDF file) shall be deemed an original signature hereto.

Section 12.7 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND SECTION 327(b) OF THE NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULES AND WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICT OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 12.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.9 Headings. Headings and footnotes used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof.

Section 12.10 Interest.

(a) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Loans exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by

106

any Borrower Party or is inadvertently received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower Party shall notify such Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower Parties not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrower Parties under Applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Prime Rate, the Eurodollar Rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrower at interest rates tied to such reference rates.

Section 12.11 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and thereto and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and conversations relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 12.12 Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any Loan Document, nor any term or provision hereof or thereof, may be amended or waived orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Majority Lenders (or, in the case of Security Documents executed by the Administrative Agent, signed by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Majority Lenders) and, in the case of an amendment, also by the Borrower, except that (a) any decrease (other than pro rata) or increase in the amount of the Commitments of any Lender shall require the consent of such Lender, (b) any issuance of an Incremental Facility Commitment shall require only the consent of the Incremental Facility Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (c) in the event of (i) any postponement in the scheduled time as set forth in Section 2.7 hereof for the payment of, or any reduction of, any scheduled payments of principal, interest or fees due hereunder or any extension of the Initial Maturity Date or the Final Maturity Date, (ii) any change in the Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 2.3(f) hereof, (iii) any release or impairment of any Collateral pledged by, or Guaranties of, AMC, IFC or WE (other than as provided in Section 10.6(b)), (iv) any release of the Borrower from the Obligations or any release or impairment of substantially all of the other Collateral or Guaranties issued in favor of the Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 10.6(b)), (v) any waiver of any Event of Default due to the failure by the Borrower to pay any sum due hereunder, (vi) except in connection with the implementation of the Incremental Facility Indebtedness to the extent necessary to accord the various types of Incremental Facility Loans treatment similar to the treatment accorded Loans of a similar type thereunder, any change to the application of payments made to the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties described in Sections 2.6(c), 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) hereof, or any change in the sharing of payment procedures described in Section 2.12(c) hereof, or (vii) any amendment of this Section 12.12 or of the definition of “Majority Lenders” or of any provision of this Agreement which refers

to “Majority Lenders” if the effect thereof would be to amend the definition of “Majority Lenders”, as used in such provision, any amendment or waiver may be made only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, also by the Borrower; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amendment of Section 2.14 or any other term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document required in connection with the implementation of the Incremental Facility Indebtedness shall require only the consent of the Majority Lenders and the Borrower. Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination or release of any Credit Party Interest Hedge Agreement may be effected by the parties thereto without the consent of the Lender Group.

Section 12.13 Other Relationships. No relationship created hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of any of the Credit Parties to enter into or maintain business relationships with the Borrower or any of its Lender Affiliates beyond the relationships specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.14 Confidentiality. The parties hereto shall preserve in a confidential manner all information received from any other party pursuant to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and shall not disclose such information except to (i) any Agent, any Lender or any Persons with which a confidential relationship is maintained (including designated agents, legal counsel, accountants and regulators), (ii) where required by law, (iii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in an asset swap agreement or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor, as the case may be, has agreed in a writing in favor of the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14), (iv) prospective transferees (so long as such any such prospective transferee has agreed in a writing in favor of the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14), and (v) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and other insurance regulatory agencies to the extent required by law or (so long as such Person has agreed in a writing in favor of the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14) to maintain any industry ratings applicable to such parties.

Section 12.15 Liability of Partners, Members and Other Persons. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto expressly agree that no partner, member, officer, director or other holder of an ownership interest of or in the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, Holdings, RME or CVC, or any partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity which is a partner, member, stockholder or holder of an ownership interest of or in the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, Holdings, RME or CVC shall have any personal or individual liability or responsibility in respect of Obligations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, Holdings, RME or CVC pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document solely by reason of his or her status as such partner, member, officer, director, stockholder or holder.

108
