The Adjustable Applicable Margins so determined shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant Start Date to the earliest of (x) the date on which the next certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (y) the date on which the next Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale is consummated or (z) the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 7.01 or 7.02 with respect to the Measurement Period in which the previous Start Date occurred (such earliest date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new Adjustable Applicable Margins (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the first sentence of this definition, provided that if at the time such certificate is not delivered, the Adjustable Applicable Margins are higher than those set forth in the first sentence of this definition, the Adjustable Applicable Margins will remain at such higher rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, the Adjustable Applicable Margins at all times (i) prior to the date of delivery of the financial statements

pursuant to Section 7.02 for the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower ended September 30, 2010, shall be those set forth in the first sentence of this definition and (ii) during which there shall exist any Default or Event of Default, shall be the highest percentages set forth in the grid above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Total Leverage Ratio set forth in any Quarterly Pricing Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest or fees for any period based on an Applicable Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Total Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Quarterly Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Total Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.07(a) and 2.08(a) as a result of the miscalculation of the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.07(a) or Section 2.08(a), as applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be paid pursuant to said Section on the same basis as if the Total Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Quarterly Pricing Certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.07(b), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

“Applicable Percentage” means the percentage per annum set forth below opposite the applicable daily average Total Unused Commitment for the period for which commitment fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a):

(c) In the event that the Co-Borrowers are unable to comply with the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Advances set forth in Section 3.02 (including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base limitations set forth in Section 3.02(d)), the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Advances to the applicable Co-Borrower solely in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent in its respective Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the applicable Co-Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that such Revolving Advances may only be made as Base Rate Advances, as determined by the Administrative Agent or Security Agent (each, an “Agent Advance”), for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent or Security Agent first receives a Notice of Revolving Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (x) the twentieth (20th) Business Day after such date, (y) the date the respective Co-Borrower is again able to comply with the applicable Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Advances, or obtain an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (z) the date the Majority Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as the case may be, to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”); provided further that the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Agent Advance, (I) the amount of such Agent Advance when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to, if such Agent Advance is a Revolving Advance, the Borrower at such time, would exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base at such time (each, an “Agent Advance Amount”), (II) until, but not following, such time as the Minimum Excess Availability Condition is satisfied, the amount of such Agent Advance (after giving effect to thereto) would cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Adjusted Total Commitment at such time or (III) the amount of such Agent Advance (after giving effect to thereto) would cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Total Commitment at such time. Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent in its sole discretion and the Co-

Borrowers shall not have any right whatsoever to require that any Agent Advances be made, provided that the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Funds Administrator following the occurrence of an Agent Advance. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(g).

Section 2.02 Making Revolving Advances and Swingline Advances.

(a) Revolving Advances. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Advances, or the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances (including Agent Advances, but excluding for this purpose Swingline Advances and Revolving Advances made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) by the Funds Administrator (or, in the case of Agent Advances, the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or electronic mail. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing by telecopier or electronic mail in PDF format, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing (including whether the Revolving Advances made pursuant to such Borrowing constitute Agent Advances (it being understood that the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Agent Advance)) and (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Co-Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account, for onward transmission to the bank account notified to the Administrative Agent by the Co-Borrower from time to time into which monies are permitted to be deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swingline Advances made by the Swingline Bank or any Letter of Credit Advances made by any Issuing Bank and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swingline Bank or to such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for repayment of such Swingline Advances or such Letter of Credit Advances.

(b) Swingline Advances. Each Swingline Advance shall be made on notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swingline Advance, by the Funds Administrator to the Swingline Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swingline Advance (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be made by telephone, and confirmed immediately in writing by telecopier or electronic mail in PDF format, in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, and shall specify in each case (i) the date of such Swingline Advance, (ii) the amount of such Swingline Advance and (iii) the maturity of such Swingline Advance (which maturity shall be no later than the Swingline Expiry Date). The Swingline Bank will make the amount thereof available to the Administrative Agent at the

Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Co-Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account, for onward transmission to the bank account notified to the Administrative Agent by such Co-Borrower from time to time into which monies are permitted to be deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. On any Business Day, (x) the Swingline Bank may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders, with a copy of notice to the Administrative Agent, and (y) any Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice (a “Notice of Swingline Redemption”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto to the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such notice to the Swingline Bank and to the other Lenders, that the Swingline Bank’s outstanding Swingline Advances shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Advances (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Part I of Article IX or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Part I of Article IX), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Advances constituting Base Rate Advances (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share as of the date of such demand (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Part I of Article IX) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Bank to repay the Swingline Bank for such outstanding Swingline Advances. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Advances upon one (1) Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with any minimum borrowing amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Article III are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above, 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 applicable Co-Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Bank, and the Swingline Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such participations in the outstanding Swingline Advances as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Advances ratably based upon their respective Pro Rata Share as of the date of such demand (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Part I of Article IX), by making available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the participation in the outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Advance to be purchased by such Lender, provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Advances shall be for the account of the Swingline Bank until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Bank 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 to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as Base Rate Advances hereunder for each day thereafter. Each Co-Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment of participations in Swingline Advances. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of a participation in an outstanding Swingline Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swingline Bank or the applicable Lender, as the case may be; provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swingline Bank to any other Lender of a participation in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Swingline Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such participation being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such participation in such Swingline Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.

(c) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.02(b) above, with the applicable Co-Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Advance, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.02(b) above.

(d) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) a Co- Borrower may not select LIBOR Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 2.10 and (ii) the Revolving Advances made on any date may not be outstanding on any date as part of more than ten separate Borrowings.

(e) Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing and Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable Co-Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Co-Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Borrowing for such Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the LIBOR Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such LIBOR Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date, other than any such failure that results from the Administrative Agent giving a notice under Section 2.07(d) or a Lender giving notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c).

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Co-Borrower on

such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and each Co-Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Co-Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Co-Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of the Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

(g) Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 2.01(c) shall be subject to periodic settlement as follows:

(i) The amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of Revolving Advances shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Advances as of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). The applicable Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to the applicable Lenders, such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Revolving Advances made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the aggregate amount of Revolving Advances outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the outstanding Revolving Advances on such date.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of Revolving Advances by any Co-Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(g).

(iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Advances prior to the time when such Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Revolving Advances, interest with

respect to such Revolving Advances shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent as Base Rate Advances to each such Lender and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of such Revolving Advances actually advanced by and repaid to each such Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Advances are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Advances are repaid by any Co-Borrower, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.02(g).

(h) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

Section 2.03 Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursements Under Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit.

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Funds Administrator may request that an Issuing Bank issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Termination Date, for the account of the applicable Co-Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Bank or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, and (y) sellers of goods to the Co-Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Bank (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(ii) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Termination Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the applicable Co-Borrower (or renew or extend), one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue (or renew or extend) any Letter of Credit of the types described and permitted above if at the time of such issuance (or renewal or extension):

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from

any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Bank on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Bank as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Bank reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(B) such Issuing Bank shall have received from the applicable Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Majority Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 2.03(c)(ii).

(b) Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Available LC Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Letter of Credit Advances which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Sub-Limit at such time, (y) an amount that would cause the Aggregate Exposure (after giving effect to such issuance) to exceed the Total Commitment at such time and (z) until, but not following, such time as the Minimum Excess Availability Condition is satisfied, an amount that would cause the Aggregate Exposure (after giving effect to such issuance) to exceed the Adjusted Total Commitment, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time when the Aggregate Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) 100% of the Borrowing Base (or, during an Agent Advance Period, 105%) at such time and (iii) each Letter of Credit (whether being issued for the first time or being renewed or extended) shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of issuance (or renewal or extension) thereof and (B) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance (or renewal or extension) thereof and (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03(b), the Issuing Banks shall be permitted to issue standby Letters of Credit that are automatically renewed (unless such Issuing Bank provides a notice of non-renewal) for a period that ends on the earlier of (x) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of such renewal and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

(i) Whenever a Co-Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Funds Administrator shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank) written notice thereof (including by way of telecopier or email). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit D, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(ii) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the applicable Co-Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.03(b). Unless the respective Issuing Bank has received notice from the Funds Administrator, any Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Majority Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Article III are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.03(b), then such Issuing Bank shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Co-Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Funds Administrator and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Bank shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via telecopier or email) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the immediately preceding week. The initial Available LC Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank.

(d) Letters of Credit Participations.

(i) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03(d), a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the applicable Co-Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guarantee pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.07, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Advances relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be. Further, if any Letter of Credit expires without being drawn or replaced or if the original of any Letter of Credit is returned to the Issuing Bank without such Letter of Credit being drawn or replaced, then the aggregate amount of participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the Available LC Amount of such Letter of Credit and each such reduction shall be made ratably among the Participants.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been

delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(iii) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes a Letter of Credit Advance under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the applicable Co-Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such lack of reimbursement, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Bank, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Bank at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Bank such other Participant’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

(iv) Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(iii) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to each such Participant that has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(v) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(vi) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

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

(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

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

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

(e) Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Advances.

(i) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day (the “LC Payment Date”) following receipt by the Funds Administrator of notice of any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, a “Letter of Credit Advance”), either (x) the applicable Co-Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, by making payment in an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to such Letter of Credit Advance to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at its Lending Office on the LC Payment Date, for the account of such Issuing Bank, or (y) to the extent such reimbursement is not made prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the LC Payment Date, the Funds Administrator shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Commitments to make Base Rate Advances on the LC Payment Date in an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance, and Lenders with Commitments shall, on the LC Payment Date, make Base Rate Advances in the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance.

(ii) Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Base Rate Advances in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding clause (i) on the LC Payment Date (A) notwithstanding that the amount of the Base Rate Advance may not comply with any minimum borrowing amount otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.02 are then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists and (D) notwithstanding any failure by the Funds Administrator to provide any actual timely Notice of Revolving Borrowing.

(iii) In the event that any Base Rate Advance cannot for any reason be made on the LC Payment Date as required under clauses (i) and (ii) above, then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase a Participation in such Letter of Credit Advance (as of the LC Payment Date) from the Issuing Bank in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 2.03(d)(iii) but adjusted for any payments received from the applicable Co-Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase.

(iv) Interest on the amount paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed to the Issuing Bank prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, shall accrue from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Bank is reimbursed by the Co-Borrowers or by the Administrative Agent therefor pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Base Rate Advances and shall be payable by the Co-Borrowers on demand. Each Issuing Bank shall give the Funds Administrator prompt written notice of each Letter of Credit Disbursement (as defined below) under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Co-Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

(v) The obligations of the Co-Borrowers under this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse each Issuing Bank with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by them (each, a “Letter of Credit Disbursement”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Co-Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or mis-application by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit Disbursement; provided, however, that the Co-Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(f) Cash Collateralization. If cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit is required pursuant to Section 2.06(b), then the applicable Co-Borrower will cash collateralize such Letter of Credit in the amount required pursuant to Section 2.06(b). If any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the Termination Date or an Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, and arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks have not been made for a “backstop letter of credit” facility, then the Funds Administrator shall, at each Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s request, on the next Business Day cause the applicable Co-Borrower to cash collateralize the Available LC Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Available LC Amount as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, if any Letters of Credit remain outstanding and undrawn on the Termination Date and a “backstop letter of credit” reasonably acceptable to each Issuing Bank shall not have been provided as collateral for such Letters of Credit. Such deposit shall be held by the Security Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of the Co-Borrowers under this Agreement. The Security Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such Cash Collateral Account. Any funds standing to the credit of such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Security Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Co-Borrowers for the Available LC Amount at such time. If the Co-Borrowers fail to provide any cash collateral as required hereunder, the Lenders may (and shall upon direction of the Administrative Agent) advance, as Revolving Advances, the amount of the cash collateral required (whether or not the Termination Date shall have occurred or the conditions in Article III are not are satisfied).

Section 2.04 Mandatory Repayment of Advances.

(iii) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

(iv) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.06(b), so long as no Default under Section 9.01 or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of LIBOR Advances is required to be made under this Section 2.06(b) other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Funds Administrator may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Funds Administrator) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Advances in accordance with this Section 2.06(b).

Section 2.07 Interest.

(New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type owed by it comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type (other than Swingline Advances which may not be Converted pursuant to this Section 2.09); provided, however, that (i) any Conversion of LIBOR Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Advances, (ii) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into LIBOR Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(d), (iii) no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(d) and (iv) each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs, Etc. (a) In the event that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation after the Closing Date, (ii) the compliance with any applicable guideline or request from the NAIC or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or (iii) any other circumstance affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of any Lender Party in such market which leads such Lender Party to reasonably determine that LIBOR for any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advance made by such Lender Party will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender Party of making, funding or maintaining such LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period, there shall be any increase in the cost to or reduction in the amount received or receivable by any Lender Party as a result of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10 any such increased costs resulting from taxes as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), then the Co-Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender Party, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine) sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for any Advances affected by such event if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue; provided that such designation is made on terms that such Lender Party and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of this subsection (a). A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Funds Administrator by such Lender Party at the time of demand, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law or regulation after the Closing Date or (ii) the compliance with any applicable guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party which has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender Party’s capital or assets as a result of or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement to a level below that

which such Lender Party could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s or any corporation controlling such Lender Party’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, it being understood and agreed that a Lender Party shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender Party’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, regulation, guideline or request in effect on the Closing Date. Any amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be payable only to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof submitted to the Funds Administrator by such Lender Party at the time of demand shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances hereunder, with respect to any LIBOR Advance affected by circumstances described in this subsection (c), the Funds Administrator will, and with respect to any LIBOR Advance affected by circumstances described in subsections (a) or (b) above, the Funds Administrator may, either (i) on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert each LIBOR Advance affected by such circumstances into a Base Rate Advance or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Advance is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Funds Administrator was notified by a Lender Party pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above or this subsection (c) (as applicable); provided that if more than one Lender Party is affected at any time, then all affected Lender Parties must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(c). In the event of an illegality as described in this subsection (c) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Funds Administrator that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender Party agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office for any Advances affected by such event if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender Party or its Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances; provided that such designation is made on terms that such Lender Party and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of this subsection.

(d) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent any notice under Section 2.10, Section 2.12 or Section 11.04(c) is given by any Lender Party more than 180 days after such Lender Party has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of

the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Section 2.10, Section 2.12 or Section 11.04(c), as the case may be, such Lender Party shall not be entitled to compensation under such Section for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Funds Administrator.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations. (a) Each Co- Borrower shall make each payment owed by it hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by such Co-Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by such Co-Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 11.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender Party ratably in accordance with such Lender Party’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances and all Letter of Credit Outstandings, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party as the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent shall direct.

(c) Each Co-Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of such Co-Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party any amount so due.

(d) All computations of interest, fees and commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable; provided that (i) interest in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” contained in Section 1.01, (ii) commitment fees payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and (iii) Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366,

as the case may be) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Funds Administrator prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that a Co-Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Co-Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender Party. If and to the extent that any Co-Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.12 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Co-Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, (A) taxes that are imposed on its net income, or net profits (and, in each case, franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) and branch profits or similar taxes imposed by the United States or by the state, province or other jurisdiction (or in each case, any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party maintains its principal office or is otherwise doing business, (B) other than in the case of an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 11.08, any withholding tax that is imposed on any payment by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party pursuant to any law in effect at the time the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Lending Office), except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new applicable Lending Office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.12(a), (C) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA. or (D) any withholding tax (including backup withholding tax) that is attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with Section 2.12(e) (unless such failure is as a result of a change in law after the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) and (ii) in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are

imposed on its overall net income or net profits (and in each case, franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state, province or other jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Lending Office (other than a Lending Office that became a Lending Office pursuant to Section 2.12(h)) or any political subdivision thereof (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) unless the Co-Borrowers are required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof to withhold or deduct Taxes. If the Co-Borrowers shall be required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant taxing authority to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, (x) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) the Co-Borrowers shall make such deductions and (z) the Co-Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Co-Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made by any of them hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Co-Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto that would not have arisen but for the Co-Borrowers’ failure to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority . This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Borrower received from such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) a written demand setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnification therefore.

(d) Promptly after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Funds Administrator shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or such other evidence of payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) On or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender or Initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and on the date on which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Funds Administrator (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), (I) each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Funds Administrator with (A) two original properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor form, or in the case of a Lender Party

that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” (as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Co-Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Co-Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) (a “non-bank certification”), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor form, as appropriate or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or, in the case of a Lender Party that has provided the non-bank certification, certifying that such Lender Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust and (B) will use reasonable efforts (subject to the overall good faith policy considerations of such Lender Party) to provide any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable Co-Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made and (II) the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) and is not an exempt recipient based on the indicators described by Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form. Each such Lender Party hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender Party of such forms or certificates, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms or certificates obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender Party shall promptly (i) deliver to the Funds Administrator and the Administrative Agent two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN (together with a non-bank certificate, if applicable) or W-8ECI, as appropriate, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender Party or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent and the Funds Administrator of its inability to deliver any such forms or certificates.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 2.12(e) or this Section 2.12(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and Co-Borrowers such forms, documentation, or other information as shall be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service to demonstrate that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(g) If a Lender Party becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required under Sections 2.12(e) and (f), the Funds Administrator shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

(h) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a change or designation would eliminate, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue; provided that such change or

designation is made on terms that such Lender Party and its Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of subsection (a) or (c) above; provided further that nothing in this subsection (h) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Co-Borrower or the rights of any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(i) If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by any Co-Borrower pursuant to this Section, then the Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall remit such refund to the relevant Co-Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund). If a Lender Party or the Administrative Agent is required to return all or a portion of any refund for which reimbursement was made under the preceding sentence to the taxing authority that granted such refund, the Funds Administrator shall pay over, or cause to be paid over by the applicable Co-Borrower, to such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such refund or portion of a refund, as applicable, plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority, to such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall interfere with the right of a Lender or the Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Subject to the priority of payments specifically set forth herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 11.07(g)(vi) hereof, if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party 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 Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Co-Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the applicable Co-Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Advances, Swingline Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Co-Borrowers agree that they shall use the proceeds of such Advances and request the issuance of Letters of Credit):

(a) on the Closing Date to pay fees and expenses incurred by the Loan Parties in connection with the Transaction; provided that not more than $15,000,000 of the Advances may be utilized on the Closing Date to pay amounts owing to finance the Refinancing (including the issuance of letters of credit to replace or support letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement) or to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction;

(b) for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes relating to the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s operations (and in the case of issuance of Letters of Credit, to replace, or in substitution for, letters of credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03), provided that no portion of any Advance or any Letter of Credit shall be used directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry any Margin Stock, directly or indirectly, or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause any Borrowing or the issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X or otherwise violate any of the Regulations of the Board.

Section 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to any Co-Borrower and (iii) such Co-Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Co-Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of such Co-Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, such Co-Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such

payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by such Co-Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance and shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be LIBOR Advances on the date such Revolving Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Funds Administrator shall notify the Administrative Agent any time that a Co-Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by a Co-Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by such Co-Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by such Co-Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.

(b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lender Parties and (iii) any Co-Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lender Parties and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by that Co-Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent and such other Lender Parties and, if the amount of such payment made by that Co-Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all such Defaulted Amounts owing by each such Defaulting Lender at such time to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, in the following order of priority.

(A) first, to the Administrative Agent for any such Defaulted Amount then owing by each such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; and

(B) second, to any other Lender Parties for any such Defaulted Amounts then owing by each such Defaulting Lender to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties.

Any portion of such amount paid by such Co-Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.15.

(c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) any Co-Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then such Co-Borrower or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with DBTCA, in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be DBTCA’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, as and when such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:

(A) first, to the Administrative Agent for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B) second, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lender Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and

(C) third, to the Funds Administrator for any Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender Party shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

(e) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Bank no later than 10 Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(b), (i) the Swingline Bank shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Advances at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swingline Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Bank’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Advances, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swingline Advances (such arrangements, the “Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (ii) the Swingline Bank shall not make any Swingline Advance after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Majority Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Bank shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or an Event of Default.

(g) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that any Co-Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

Section 2.16 Incremental Loan Commitments. (a) The Funds Administrator shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.16, but without requiring the consent of the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16) or the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date (or, if later, after the satisfaction of any condition previously agreed to among the Administrative Agent and the Funds Administrator) and prior to the Termination Date that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Assignees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the relevant Incremental Commitment Agreement, make Advances and participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered

to the Administrative Agent, the Funds Administrator and the Co-Borrowers an Incremental Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.16, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advances in excess of its Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit or Swingline Advances in excess of its Pro Rata Share, in each case, as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.16, (ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Assignee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; provided that any Person that is not a Lender prior to the effectiveness of its Incremental Commitment shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld) to provide an Incremental Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.16, (iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to a given Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including Persons who are Eligible Assignees and will become Lenders) of at least $10,000,000, or, if less, the remaining unutilized balance of the Maximum Incremental Amount (or such lesser amount that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount, (v) the Funds Administrator shall not increase the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16 more than 3 times, (vi) such Incremental Commitments shall have the same terms (other than any arrangement fees, upfront fees or original issue discount) payable at the time of and in connection with the applicable Incremental Commitment Agreement) as the Commitments, (vii) all Advances incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Collateral Documents, and guaranteed under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other relevant guarantee, on a pari passu basis with all other Advances secured by each relevant Collateral Document and guaranteed under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each other relevant guarantee, and (viii) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Assignee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, respectively, and make Advances as provided in Section 2.02 and such Advances shall constitute Advances for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) the Co-Borrowers, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Funds Administrator and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements have been satisfied, (y) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.16 shall have been satisfied and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (ii) the Co-Borrowers, each

Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Lender (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional Collateral Documents and/or amendments to the Collateral Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Advances incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments are secured by each relevant Collateral Document (the “Incremental Collateral Documents”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Loan Document.

(d) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Funds Administrator shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Advances of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Advances from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Advances pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16) and with the Co-Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.10 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

(ii) Each Mortgage, upon execution and delivery by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Security Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law), for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and mortgage lien on the all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the properties subject thereto and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages have been filed or registered in the appropriate jurisdiction, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the properties and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior in right to any other Person (but subject to (i) Liens or other encumbrances for which exceptions are taken in the policies of title insurance delivered in respect of the mortgaged properties and (ii) Permitted Lien.

Section 5.01 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, such compliance to include, without limitation, compliance with ERISA, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Chapter of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, except such as may be contested in good faith or as to which a bona fide dispute may exist and except to the extent that noncompliance therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.02 Payment of Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its property prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and (ii) all lawful material claims that, if unpaid, might by law become a material Lien upon the property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries not otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (x) that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves (in the good faith judgment of its management) are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or (y) to the extent the non-payment would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10 Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents with any of their Affiliates on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate, other than (i) transactions between or among the Loan Parties and any Subsidiaries of the Borrower; (ii) reasonable and customary fees paid to members of the Borrower’s board of directors; (iii) the transactions permitted by Section 6.06; (iv) transactions otherwise expressly permitted hereunder.

Section 10.03 DBTCA and Affiliates.

DBTCA may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lender Parties.

Section 10.04 Lender Party Credit Decision.

Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender Party or the holder

134

of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter.

Section 10.05 Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any Co-Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 11.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Co-Collateral Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 10.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Advances outstanding at such time made by the Swingline Bank, (iii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iv) their respective Unused Commitments at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Advances owing to the Swingline Bank and the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances owing to each Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. In the event that any Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Lender Party’s Commitment shall be considered to be unused for purposes of this Section 10.05(a) to the extent of the amount of such Defaulted Advance. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Party to the Administrative Agent or such Co-Collateral Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Co-Collateral Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such

135

Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Swingline Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Without limitation of the foregoing, each such Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 11.04, to the extent that the Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 10.05(b), the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Advances outstanding at such time made by the Swingline Bank, (iii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available LC Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time issued by such Issuing Bank and (iv) their respective Unused Commitments at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Advances owing to the Swingline Bank and the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances owing to such Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. In the event that any Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Lender Party’s Commitment shall be considered to be unused for purposes of this Section 10.05(b) to the extent of the amount of such Defaulted Advance. The failure of any such Lender Party to reimburse the Swingline Bank or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each such Lender Party contained in this Section 10.05(b) shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.06 Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent shall also constitute its resignation as the Swingline Bank and as an Issuing Bank, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Advances or issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Swingline Bank, as the case may be, with respect to any Swingline Advances made by it, or any Letters of Credit issued by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such

136

consent not to be required if an Event of Default then exists) have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Such successor Administrative Agent shall serve until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a new successor Administrative Agent as provided above. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the retiring Administrative Agent, such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Majority Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and consented to by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not to be required if an Event of Default then exists) appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents upon the effectiveness of its resignation pursuant to the fourth sentence of this Section 10.06. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, such retiring Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.04 (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(b) The Security Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lender Parties or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Security Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Security Agent in this Section 10.08, in any of the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Security Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Security Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lender Parties and that the Security Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lender Parties, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender Party originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, the Majority Lenders, any Lender Party or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender Party with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(c) (i) If the Commitments of SunTrust Bank are less than $15,000,000 or SunTrust Bank is a Defaulting Lender, SunTrust Bank may be removed as a Co-Collateral Agent by the Borrower or the Majority Lenders upon written notice to it as Co-Collateral Agent and with such removal to become effective immediately upon the delivery of such written notice,

Section 11.17 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LENDER NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES.

Section 11.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE CO-BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE CO-COLLATERAL AGENTS, THE SECURITY AGENT AND THE OTHER LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE CO-COLLATERAL AGENTS, THE SECURITY AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 11.19 Approved Hedge Agreement Obligations. (a) At any time after the Borrower enters into a Hedge Agreement permitted by this Agreement with a Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty, if the Borrower and the Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty desire that the monetary obligations in respect of such Hedge Agreement shall be designated and treated as “Approved Hedge Agreement Obligations” hereunder having rights in respect of the payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth in Section 9.14 (each such monetary obligation in respect of such Hedge Agreement, so designated, an “Approved Hedge Agreement Obligation”), (i) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Collateral Agent) (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent) that it desires such Hedge Agreement to be treated as an Approved Hedge Agreement Obligation, (ii) the Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty shall have delivered written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent (to be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent) stating the maximum amount of the Borrower’s liabilities in respect thereof and the then aggregate marked to market exposure of the Borrower thereunder, and (iii)

152

the Co-Collateral Agents shall establish the Hedging Reserve with respect thereto and agree to respond promptly to inquiries from any Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty with respect to the amount of such Hedging Reserves.

(b) Until such time as the Borrower and the Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty deliver (and the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent acknowledge) such notices as described in Section 11.19(a) above, such Hedge Agreement shall not constitute an Approved Hedge Agreement Obligation.

(c) Notwithstanding any such designation of a Hedge Agreement as an Approved Hedge Agreement Obligation, no counterparty in respect of any such Approved Hedge Agreement Obligations shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider of such Hedge Agreement or the beneficiary of the Secured Hedging Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall its consent be required (other than in its capacity as a Lender to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or any Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent and the Security Agent accept no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Borrower under any such Hedge Agreement, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable counterparty and the Borrower party to such Hedge Agreement for the calculation thereof.

(d) Each Secured Hedge Agreement Counterparty party to a Hedge Agreement designated as an Approved Hedge Agreement Obligation hereunder and the Borrower party to any such Hedge Agreement each agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent with the calculations of all such exposures and reserves, if any, at such times as the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent shall reasonably request, and in any event, not less than quarterly (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent).

ARTICLE XII

Nature of Obligations

Section 12.01 Nature of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Revolving Advances, Swingline Advances, Letter of Credit Advances, Agent Advances, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the Co-Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Co-Borrowers with respect to the Obligations as described above, all such Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, provided that the obligations of a Co-Borrower with respect to the Obligations as described above shall not be

153

limited by any provision of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement entered into by such Co-Borrower.

Section 12.02 Independent Obligation. The Obligations of each Co-Borrower are independent of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents of each other Co-Borrower or any other Loan Party under its guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement of such Obligations under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Co-Borrower, whether or not any other Co-Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. Each Co-Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Co-Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Co-Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Co-Borrower.

Section 12.03 Authorization. Each of the Co-Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Swingline Bank, the Co-Collateral Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents to:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Co-Borrower or any other Loan Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Co-Borrower, endorsers, other Loan Parties or other obligors;

(c) settle or compromise any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents of any other Co-Borrower or any other Loan Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Co-Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by any other Co-Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Co-Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Co-Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Co-Borrower or any other Person.

Section 12.04 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Swingline Bank, any Issuing Bank, any Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Co-Borrower or any other U.S. Subsidiary or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Co-Borrower, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such

154

powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Co-Borrowers hereunder.

Section 12.05 Contribution; Subrogation. No Co-Borrower shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Co-Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (i) the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated and (ii) all of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full in cash. To the extent that any Loan Party shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents which shall exceed the amount of loans, advances or other extensions of credit received by such Loan Party and all interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such loans, advances or other extensions of credit, then such Loan Party shall be reimbursed by the other Loan Parties for the amount of such excess, subject to the restrictions of the previous sentence. This Section 12.05 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Parties, and nothing set forth in this Section 12.05 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 12.06 Waiver. Each Co-Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Swingline Bank, the Co-Collateral Agents, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Security Agent’s, the Swingline Bank’s, any Co-Collateral Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Co-Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party other than payment in full in cash of its Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Co-Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other party, or the unenforceability of its Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Co-Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of its Obligations.

Section 12.07 Rights and Obligations. The obligations of the Swingline Bank, each Issuing Bank and each Lender under this Agreement bind each of them severally. Failure by the Swingline Bank, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, as the case may be, to perform its obligations under this Agreement does not affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement. The Swingline Bank, each Issuing Bank and each Lender is not responsible for the obligations of the Swingline Bank, any other Issuing Bank or any other Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The rights, powers and remedies of the Swingline Bank, each Issuing Bank and each Lender in connection with this Agreement are separate and independent rights, powers and remedies and any debt arising under this Agreement to or for the account of the Swingline Bank, any Issuing Bank or any Lender from a Loan Party is a separate and independent debt.
