(iii) All of the mandatory prepayments made under Section 2.6 shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations, first to Floating Rate Loans and to any Fixed Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to subsequently maturing Fixed Rate Loans in order of maturity.

2.7 Reductions of Commitments. The Company may permanently reduce (i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders with a Commitment, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced in whole) or (ii) the Swing Line Commitments in whole or in part in amounts of $1,000,000 upon at least three (3) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Bank, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the Dollar Amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations or below the aggregate amount of Alternate Currency Commitments or below the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Commitment. All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of all or any part the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder. Each Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender, terminate entirely at any time or reduce from time to time by an aggregate Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (or as set forth on the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), the unused portions of the applicable Alternate Currency Commitment as specified by the applicable Borrower in such notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Alternate Currency Lender; provided that at no time shall the Alternate Currency Commitment of any Lender in respect of any Alternate Currency be reduced to an amount less than the total outstanding principal amount of all Alternate Currency Loans of such Lender made in such Alternate Currency.

2.8 Method of Borrowing. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) (a) on the Funding Date, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment shall make available its Term Loan and (b) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall make available its Revolving Loan, in each case in immediately available funds in the applicable Agreed Currency to the Administrative Agent at its address specified on its signature page hereto or as otherwise specified pursuant to Article XV, unless the Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders that such Loan is to be made available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment office, in which case each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its Eurocurrency Payment Office, not later than 12:00 noon (local time in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office) in the Agreed Currency designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address or Eurocurrency Payment Office, as applicable.

2.9 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Advances. The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of Advance, the Agreed Currency and/or Alternate Currency and, in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each such Advance from time to time. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (a) one (1) Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (b) three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Rate Advance, to be made in Dollars, (c) four (4) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Rate Advance to be made in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars and (d) four (4) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower), provided that such notice to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender shall be given by 11:00 a.m. (local time) specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type of Advance selected; (iv) the Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency applicable thereto; and (v) in the case of each Fixed Rate Loan, the Interest Period. Each Floating Rate Advance and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance in the case of Loans, and the date such Obligation is due and owing in the case of such other Obligations, to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the Floating Rate, changing when and as such Floating Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate or Alternate Currency Rate, as applicable. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance.

2.10 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance (other than an Advance to repay a Swing Line Loan or Reimbursement Obligation) shall be in the minimum Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 (or the Approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or any Alternate Currency) and in Dollar Amount multiples of $1,000,000 (or the Approximate Equivalent Amount of any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or any Alternate Currency) if in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum); provided that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

2.11 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

(a) Right to Convert. The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 and this Section 2.11, to convert all or any part of a Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) of any Type into any other Type or Types of Loans (other than a Swing Line Loan); provided that any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b) Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans unless and until such Floating Rate Loans are converted into Fixed Rate Loans. Fixed Rate Loans shall continue as Fixed Rate Loans until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Floating Rate Loans unless the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.11(d) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Loans continue as a Fixed Rate Loan. Unless a Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice shall have timely been given in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, Fixed Rate Loans in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars and Alternate Currency Loans shall automatically continue as Fixed Rate Loans in the same Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency Loans in the same Alternate Currency, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(c) No Conversion Post-Default or Post-Unmatured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.11(a) or Section 2.11(b), no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Loan (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice. The Company shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan (that is not an Alternate Currency Loan) into a Fixed Rate Loan or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, with respect to any Loan to be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Dollars, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation with respect to any Loan to be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, and (iii) five (5) Business Days before the date of the requested conversion or continuation with respect to the conversion or continuation of any Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and the applicable Subsidiary Borrower shall give the applicable Alternate Currency Lender irrevocable notice by 11:00 a.m. (local time) three (3) Business Days prior to the conversion or continuation of such Alternate Currency Loan (or such other period as may specified in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), specifying: (x) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (y) the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted or continued; and (z) the amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loan(s) or Alternate Currency Loan(s), as applicable, into which such Loan is to be converted or continued, the Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Eurocurrency Rate Loans in an Agreed Currency may be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans only in the same Agreed Currency, and (ii) Alternate Currency Loans in an Alternate Currency may be continued as Alternate Currency Loans only in the same Alternate Currency.

2.12 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each outstanding Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate otherwise applicable thereto (giving effect to the provisions of Section 2.16(d)(ii)) plus 2% per annum.

2.13 Method of Payment. All payments of principal, interest, fees, commissions, and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent (a) at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XV with respect to Advances or other Obligations denominated in Dollars and (b) at the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office with respect to any Advance or other Obligations denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Company, by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably among the applicable Lenders with respect to any principal and interest due in connection with Loans. Each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in the Agreed Currency in which it was made in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall also be paid in such currency. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Administrative Agent received at its address specified in Schedule 2.13 or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Company authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the account of the Company maintained with BNS for each payment of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.13 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to each Issuing Bank, in the case of payments required to be made by the Company to any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article III.

All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in respect of any Alternate Currency Loans shall be made in the currencies in which such Loans are denominated and in funds immediately available, at the office or branch from which the Loan was made pursuant to Section 2.23 and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date on which such payment shall become due. Promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt, upon receipt of any payment of principal of the Alternate Currency Loans the applicable Alternate Currency Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by telex or telecopy of the receipt of such payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, with the result that different types of such Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, (the “New Currency”) are introduced and the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or any Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Alternate Currency Lender, as applicable, in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent or Alternate Currency Lender, as applicable, in such amount and such type of the New Currency or Dollars as shall be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Dollars, the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Alternate Currency Lender in the type of currency in which such Advance was made because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Advance shall instead be repaid when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such Advance.

2.14 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing all indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to such Lender hereunder from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.3(c) shall reflect (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and the currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 14.3, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(c) The entries made in the Loan Account, the Register and the other accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be presumptively correct for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender making a Revolving Loan may request that the Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit G-1. Any Lender making a Term Loan may request that the Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit G-2. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note for such Loans payable to the order of such Lender and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 14.3) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

2.15 Telephonic Notices. The Borrowers authorize the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend Loans, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the applicable Borrower. The Borrowers agree to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.16 Promise to Pay; Interest and Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Taxes.

(a) Promise to Pay. Each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest and Mandatory Costs (if any) accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, upon any prepayment whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise plus Mandatory Costs (if any)). Interest accrued on each Fixed-Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed-Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed-Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last day of each fiscal month of the Company, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation, (ii) upon repayment thereof in full or in part, and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(i) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and after the Closing Date until the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a non-refundable commitment fee accruing at the rate of the then Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage on the daily average unutilized portion of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (treating Alternate Currency Loans as usage). The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date after the Closing Date, and, in addition, on any date on which the Commitment shall be terminated in whole or, with respect to such terminated amount, in part.

(ii) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the sole account of the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise agreed between the Administrative Agent and any Lender) the fees set forth in each Fee Letter, payable at the times and in the amounts set forth therein.

(iii) The applicable Borrower agrees to pay to each Alternate Currency Lender, for its sole account, a fronting fee equal to the percentage set forth in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum multiplied by the average daily outstanding Dollar Amount of all Alternate Currency Loans made by such Alternate Currency Lender.

(d) Interest and Fee Basis; Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage.

(i) Interest on all Fixed-Rate Loans (except as provided otherwise in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum in the case of an Alternate Currency Loan) and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on all Floating Rate Loans shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day, or when appropriate 366-day, year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 3:00 p.m. (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

(ii) (A) For the period commencing on the Amendment Effective Date and ending on the adjustment date determined in accordance with the next paragraph of this clause (ii) with respect to the fiscal quarter of the Company ending March 30, 2007, the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined based on the Merger Date Leverage Ratio and (B) thereafter, the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined from time to time on the basis of the then applicable Leverage Ratio in accordance with the following table:

LEVERAGE RATIO	APPLICABLE FLOATING RATE MARGIN	APPLICABLE FIXED RATE MARGIN	APPLICABLE COMMITMENT FEE PERCENTAGE
Less than 1.00	0.000%	0.625%	0.125%
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50	0.000%	0.750%	0.150%
1.50 or greater, but less than 2.00	0.000%	0.875%	0.175%
2.00 or greater, but less than 2.50	0.000%	1.000%	0.200%
2.50 or greater	0.125%	1.125%	0.225%

Upon receipt of the financial statements to be delivered by the Company in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, for any fiscal quarter or, if earlier, upon receipt of the Company’s audited financial statements for any fiscal year, the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be adjusted, such adjustment being effective five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such financial statements and the compliance certificate required to be delivered in connection therewith pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii); provided that if the Company shall not have timely delivered its financial statements in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, then commencing on the date upon which such financial statements should have been delivered and continuing until such financial statements are actually delivered, it shall be assumed for purposes of determining the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage that the Leverage Ratio was greater than 2.50 to 1.0. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be the highest Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Fixed Rate Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Margin set forth in the foregoing table.

(e) Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings or any interest, penalties and liabilities with respect thereto but excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, such taxes (including income taxes, franchise taxes and branch profit taxes) as are imposed on or measured by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, net income by the United States of America, or any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction with which such Lender or Administrative Agent has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising solely from having executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received payment under, or enforced this Agreement) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities which the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines to be applicable to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16(e)) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, from the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.16(e)) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.16(e) submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if a Lender is so submitting) by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall attach a copy of the original official document from the Governmental Authority asserting such Taxes or Other Taxes and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.16(e) shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

(vi) Each Lender (including any Replacement Lender or Purchaser) that is not created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a political subdivision thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date, or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 14.3 (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only for so long as such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), either (A) two (2) duly completed copies of either (x) IRS Form W-8BEN, or (y) IRS Form W-8ECI, or in either case an applicable successor form or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (I) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Non-U.S. Lender to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”) and (II) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or applicable successor form. Each such Lender further agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(e)(vi). Further, each Lender which delivers a form or certificate pursuant to this clause (vi) covenants and agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of such form, for so long as this Agreement is still in effect, another such certificate and/or two (2) accurate and complete original newly-signed copies of the applicable form (or any successor form or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder).

(vii) Each Lender shall promptly furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent such additional official forms prescribed by Applicable Law and documents required to be attached thereto (“Additional Documentation”) as may be reasonably required by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to establish any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld; provided the applicable Lender is legally entitled to provide such Additional Documentation and provided further, that applicable Lender will incur no adverse consequences (as determined in such Lender’s sole discretion after consultation with the Company) as a result of furnishing such Additional Documentation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(e), no Borrower shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(i), or to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(iii), in respect of any withholding taxes to the extent imposed solely as a result of the failure of such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.16(e)(vii).

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(e), no Borrower shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(i), or to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes (A) to which amounts payable to such Lender is subject as of the time such Lender becomes a party hereto or (B) to the extent imposed as a result of (I) the failure of such Lender to deliver to the Company the form or forms and/or an Exemption Certificate, as applicable to such Lender, pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(vi) or 2.16(e)(vii), or (II) such form or forms and/or Exemption Certificate not establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or the information or certifications made therein by the Lender being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered in any material respect; provided that the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to gross up any payments to any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(i), and to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(iii), in respect of United States federal withholding taxes if (x) any such failure to deliver a form or forms or an Exemption Certificate or the failure of such form or forms or exemption certificate to establish a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the date such Lender became a party hereto which change rendered such Lender no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Exemption Certificate or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the information or the certifications made in such form or forms or Exemption Certificate untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (y) the obligation to gross up payments to any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(i), or to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(e)(iii), is with respect to a Purchaser that becomes a Purchaser as a result of an assignment made at the request of the Company or the redesignation of the Lender’s lending office made at the request of the Borrower.

2.17 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify the Company or applicable Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate and Agreed Currency applicable to each Fixed-Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and Agreed Currency and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans or Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments and/or payments of L/C Obligations are to be made.

2.19 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of any Borrower, a payment of principal, interest fees or other Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.20 Termination Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the date (the “Termination Date”) upon which (a) all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied, (b) all commitments of the Lenders to extend credit hereunder have expired or have been terminated, (c) all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been canceled or terminated and (d) all Hedging Agreements (except for Hedging Agreements relating to foreign currency exchange) shall have been terminated. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Termination Date, obligations of the Borrowers and other terms hereof which by the terms of this Agreement survive termination shall survive the Termination Date.

2.21 Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall have: (a) failed to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance requested by the applicable Borrower, or to make payment in respect of any Alternate Currency Loan purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(e), which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement and which failure has not been cured, (b) requested compensation from any Borrower under Sections 2.16(e), 4.1 or 4.2 to recover Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders except as provided under any applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, or (c) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 4.3 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the Company for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, then, in any such case, after the engagement of one or more “Replacement Lenders” (as defined below) by the Company and/or the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the Company and a copy to the Company in the case of a demand by the Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment Agreements five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 14.3(a) which the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose (each, a “Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit and Alternate Currency Loans hereunder) in accordance with Section 14.3. The Administrative Agent is authorized to execute one or more of such Assignment Agreements as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. With respect to such assignment the Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under Sections 2.16(e), 4.1, and 4.2 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under Section 2.16(c) in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under clause (b) or clause (c) of this Section 2.21; provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16(e), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, and 11.6, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 12.8.

2.22 Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Subject to prior or concurrent satisfaction of the conditions precedent in this Section 2.22, any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company may become a party to this Agreement and a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder on or after the Amendment Effective Date, entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations incident thereto.

(b) The Company shall have provided to the Administrative Agent (with sufficient copies for each Lender) a written request that it desires to add as a party to this Agreement a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Such written request shall include the name and address of the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower”, its jurisdiction of formation or organization, its principal place of business and a brief description of its significant business activities.

(c) If the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower” is a Domestic Subsidiary, the Company shall obtain the written consent of the Administrative Agent to add such Person.

(d) If the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower” is a Foreign Subsidiary, the Company shall obtain the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, which consent of each Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that a Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in withholding its consent if (i) it is unlawful for any Lender to make Loans under this Agreement to the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower,” (ii) any Lender cannot or has not determined that it is lawful to do so, (iii) the making of a Loan to the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower” might subject any Lender to adverse tax consequences, or (iv) any Lender is required or has determined that it is prudent to register or file in the jurisdiction of formation or organization of the proposed Subsidiary Borrower and it does not wish to do so).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received from the proposed “Subsidiary Borrower” a certificate, dated the effective date of the Assumption Letter duly executed and delivered by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other authorized representative of such Subsidiary Borrower as to:

(i) resolutions of its Board of Directors or its executive committee, as the case may be, then in full force and effect authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to be executed by it and evidence of any necessary filing of such resolution with the appropriate governmental office;

(ii) the certificate of incorporation or equivalent document of such Subsidiary Borrower;

upon which certificate each Lender may conclusively rely until the Administrative Agent shall have received a further certificate of the Secretary or other authorized Person of such Subsidiary Borrower canceling or amending such prior certificate. In addition, each Subsidiary Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a good standing certificate from the relevant governmental regulatory institution of its jurisdiction of organization, if applicable in such jurisdiction, each such certificate to be dated a date reasonably near (but prior to) the date such Subsidiary Borrower becomes a Borrower hereunder.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have received (i) an original Assumption Letter with sufficient counterparts for each Lender, duly executed and completed by the proposed Subsidiary Borrower, and (ii) such other guaranty and subordinated intercompany indebtedness documents (and related closing documentation) as required by Section 5.3 or as otherwise may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, such documents with respect to any additional Subsidiaries to be substantially similar in form and substance to the Loan Documents executed on or about the Amendment Effective Date by or in respect of the Subsidiaries parties hereto as of such date.

(g) So long as the principal of and interest on any Advances made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower have expired or been returned and terminated and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Company may, by not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary Borrower’s status as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder.

2.23 Alternate Currency Loans.

(a) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V and set forth in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, from and including the later of the Closing Date and the date of execution of the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum and prior to the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), each Alternate Currency Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, to make Alternate Currency Loans under such Alternate Currency Addendum to the applicable Borrower party to such Alternate Currency Addendum from time to time in the applicable Alternate Currency, in an amount not to exceed each such Alternate Currency Lender’s applicable Alternate Currency Commitment; provided that at no time shall the Dollar Amount of the Alternate Currency Loans for any specific Alternate Currency exceed the maximum amount specified as the maximum amount for such Alternate Currency in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum other than as a result of currency fluctuations and then only to the extent permitted in Section 2.6(b)(ii); providedfurther that at no time shall the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, the applicable Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Alternate Currency Loans in the applicable Alternate Currency at any time prior to the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum). On the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum), the outstanding principal balance of the Alternate Currency Loans shall be paid in full by the applicable Borrower and prior to the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (or such earlier termination date as shall be specified in or pursuant to the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum) prepayments of the Alternate Currency Loans shall be made by the applicable Borrower if and to the extent required by Section 2.6(b)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to execute an Alternate Currency Addendum and so to become an Alternate Currency Lender.

(b) Borrowing Notice. When the applicable Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.23, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice, signed by it, as provided in Section 2.9 specifying that such Borrower is requesting an Alternate Currency Loan pursuant to this Section 2.23, and the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of any such request for an Alternate Currency Loan. Any Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation Notice given pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be irrevocable.

(c) Termination. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall any Alternate Currency Lender have the right to accelerate the Alternate Currency Loans outstanding under any Alternate Currency Addendum or to terminate its commitments (if any) thereunder to make Alternate Currency Loans prior to the stated termination date in respect thereof, except that each Alternate Currency Lender shall have such rights upon an acceleration of the Loans and a termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Article IX.

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

(e) Risk Participation. Immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of a Default under Sections 8.1(a), (e) or (f), each Lender shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Alternate Currency Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in each Alternate Currency Loan ratably in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of principal and accrued interest of such Loan, and immediately and automatically all Alternate Currency Loans shall be converted to and redenominated in Dollars equal to the Dollar Amount of each such Alternate Currency Loan determined as of the date of such conversion; provided that to the extent such conversion shall occur other than at the end of an Interest Period, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender, all losses and breakage costs related thereto in accordance with Section 4.4. Each of the Lenders shall pay to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender not later than two (2) Business Days following a request for payment from such Alternate Currency Lender, in Dollars, an amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the Alternate Currency Loan purchased by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.23(e). In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender of any amount due under this Section 2.23(e), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives from such Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Lender’s payment obligation as prescribed in this Section 2.23(e) together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the applicable Alternate Currency Lender and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly remit all payments received as provided above to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender. In consideration of the risk participations prescribed in this Section 2.23(e), each Lender shall receive from the applicable Alternate Currency Lender, from the accrued interest paid for periods prior to the conversion of any Alternate Currency Loan as described above by the applicable Borrower on each Alternate Currency Loan, a fee equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Applicable Fixed Rate Margin component of the interest accrued on such Loan, as in effect from time to time during the period such interest accrued. Such portion of the interest paid by the applicable Borrower on Alternate Currency Loans to the applicable Alternate Currency Lender shall be paid as promptly as possible by such Alternate Currency Lender to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible convert such amount into Dollars at the spot rate of exchange in accordance with its normal banking practices and apply such resulting amount ratably among the Lenders (including the Alternate Currency Lenders) in proportion to their Pro Rata Share.

(f) Other Provisions Applicable to Alternate Currency Loans. The specification of payment of Alternate Currency Loans in the related Alternate Currency at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement is of the essence. Such Alternate Currency shall, subject to Section 2.22, be the currency of account and payment of such Loans under this Agreement and the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of the applicable Borrower in respect of such Loans shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the applicable Alternate Currency and transfer to such Lender under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against each of the Borrowers for the currency deficit. In the event that any payment, upon conversion and transfer, results in payment in excess of the amount of such Alternate Currency due under this Agreement or the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, such Lender shall refund such excess to the applicable Borrower.

2.24 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which the final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 13.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

2.25 Market Disruption; Denomination of Amounts in Dollars; Dollar Equivalent of Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in this Article II with respect to any Advance in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as applicable, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower, any Alternate Currency Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternate Currency Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in the Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as applicable, specified by the applicable Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company or such Borrower, the applicable Alternate Currency Lender and the Lenders, or the applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Alternate Currency Lender and the Lenders, as the case may be, and such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternate Currency Loans shall not be denominated in such currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice, as Floating Rate Loans, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on a date at least three (3) Business Days thereafter in a different Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, any Alternate Currency Lender, if applicable, and the Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Notice.

(b) Except as set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.4, 2.6 and 2.23, all amounts referenced in this Article II shall be calculated using the Dollar Amount determined based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect as of the date of any determination thereof; provided to the extent that any Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to pay in Dollars any Advance denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such amount shall be paid in Dollars using the Dollar Amount of the Advance (calculated based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment thereof) and in the event that the applicable Borrower does not reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are required to fund a purchase of a participation in such Advance, such purchase shall be made in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Advance (calculated based upon the Equivalent Amount in effect on the date of payment thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the full risk of currency fluctuations shall be borne by the Borrowers and the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuing Bank, the Alternate Currency Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any borrowing denominated in a currency other than in Dollars and for which the Lenders are not reimbursed on the day of such borrowing.

(b) as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a 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 the issuance of that Letter of Credit.

3.5 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 have been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices and, in this connection, such Issuing Bank may assume that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 3.4(b) and 5.4 have been satisfied unless it shall have received notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent or a Lender or has knowledge that the applicable conditions have not been met.

(b) Promptly, and in any event not more than one (1) Business Day following the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Letter of Credit (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of each such issuance.

(c) No Issuing Bank shall extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 3.5 are met as though a new Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

3.6 Letter of Credit Participation. On the Amendment Effective Date, with respect to existing Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, and immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit under this Agreement, each Lender shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Company in respect thereof, and the liability of such Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

3.7 Reimbursement Obligation.

(a) Each Borrower on whose behalf a Letter of Credit is issued agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Administrative Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft), each such reimbursement to be made by such Borrower no later than the Business Day on which the applicable Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, if such Borrower shall have received notice of a Reimbursement Obligation later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on any Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on the immediately following Business Day or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter of Credit, the date specified in the demand of such Issuing Bank. If the applicable Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested to borrow Revolving Loans from the Lenders, as of the date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, equal to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Such Revolving Loans shall be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation, automatically, without notice and without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to an Advance of Revolving Loans.

(b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.7(a) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank an amount (i) in the same Agreed Currency or (ii)(A) in the applicable Alternate Currency, if available to such Lender, or (B) if such Alternate Currency is not available to such Lender, in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (it being understood that any costs associated with currency conversions shall be borne by the applicable Borrower) of such Alternate Currency, as the case may be, as the applicable Letter of Credit and in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon such Lenders shall (subject to Section 3.7(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan constituting a Floating Rate Advance, the proceeds of which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, if notified prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) or on the next Business Day if notified thereafter, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from such date to the date such Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the draw, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 3.7.

(c) Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans, as contemplated by this Section 3.7, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Banks and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against an Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Unmatured Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(d) If, for any reason, the Company fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due and, for any reason, the Lenders are unable to make or have no obligation to make Revolving Loans, then such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Advance.

3.8 Letter of Credit Fees. The Company agrees to pay in the same Agreed Currency or Alternate Currency, as the case may be, as the applicable Letter of Credit:

(a) quarterly, in arrears, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable L/C Fee Percentage on the average daily outstanding amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit;

(b) quarterly, in arrears, to the applicable Issuing Bank, a letter of credit fronting fee in an amount agreed to between the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank on the average daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(c) to the applicable Issuing Bank, all reasonable and customary fees and other issuance, amendment, document examination, negotiation and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, presentation of L/C Drafts, and the like customarily charged by such Issuing Banks with respect to standby letters of credit.

3.9 Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. In addition to the notices required by Section 3.5(b), each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date and the reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any time during such month and the aggregate amount paid by the Company during such month. In addition, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit and any application for or reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent will provide to such Lender information concerning such Letters of Credit.

3.10 Indemnification; Exoneration.

(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article III, the Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(b) As among the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, the Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Company at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party in connection therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions not expressly provided on the face of such Letter of Credit and required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, put the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Company or relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

3.11 Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for a Letter of Credit, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Company shall, on the Business Day that it receives the Administrative Agent’s demand, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, cash, or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value, as determined by such Lenders, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding L/C Obligations. In addition, if the Availability is at any time less than the Dollar Amount of all contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time, the Company shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in Dollars in an amount equal to one-hundred five percent (105%) of the Dollar Amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Availability. Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks as collateral security for the Company’s obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Letters of Credit and L/C Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall determine. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 3.11 which are not to be applied to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts actually paid or to be paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft, shall be returned to the Company within one (1) Business Day (after deduction of the Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account).

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 Yield Protection. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) adopted after the Closing Date or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance of any Lender therewith, subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from any Borrower (excluding any taxes covered by the provisions of Section 2.16(e)), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (other than changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of such Lender) in respect of its Commitment, Loans, its L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or other amounts due it hereunder, or imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) with respect to its Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit, or imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Commitment, Loans, the L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit or reduces any amount received by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Commitment, Loans or Letters of Credit, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Commitment, Loans or L/C Interests held or interest received by it or by reference to the Letters of Credit, by an amount deemed material by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests, or Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company or any other Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests, Letters of Credit and its Commitment; providedhowever that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 4.1 for the payment of any such amounts incurred or accrued more than 180 days prior to the date on which notice of the event or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make such payment is given to the Company hereunder; providedfurther that if the event or occurrence giving rise to such obligation is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; providedfurther that (1) if the Company objects in good faith to any payment demanded under this Section 4.1 on or before the date such payment is due, then the Company and the Lender demanding such payment shall enter into discussions to review the amount due and the Company’s obligation to pay such amount to such Lender shall be deferred for 30 days after the original demand for payment and (2) if the Company and such Lender do not otherwise reach agreement on the amount due during such 30 period, the Company shall pay to such Lender at the end of such 30 day period the amount certified by such Lender to be due. Subject to the last proviso in the preceding sentence, a certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

4.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines (a) the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a “Change” (as defined below), and (b) such increase in capital will result in an increase in the cost to such Lender of maintaining its Commitment, Loans, L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder, then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company or any other Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Commitment, its Loans, its L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy); provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 4.2 for the payment of any such amounts incurred or accrued more than 180 days prior to the date on which notice of the event or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make such payment is given to the Company hereunder; provided, further, that if the event or occurrence giving rise to such obligation is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; providedfurther that (1) if the Company objects in good faith to any payment demanded under this Section 4.2 on or before the date such payment is due, then the Company and the Lender demanding such payment shall enter into discussions to review the amount due and the Company’s obligation to pay such amount to such Lender shall be deferred for 30 days after the original demand for payment and (2) if the Company and such Lender do not otherwise reach agreement on the amount due during such 30 period, the Company shall pay to such Lender at the end of such 30 day period the amount certified by such Lender to be due. Subject to the last proviso in the preceding sentence, a certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. “Change” means (i) any change after the Closing Date in the “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” (as defined below) excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any phasing in of such Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or any other capital requirements passed prior to the date hereof, or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Closing Date, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Closing Date.

4.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If (a) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (b) the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type, currency or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed-Rate Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to a Fixed-Rate Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such an Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (a), require any Advances of the affected Type to be repaid or converted into another Type.

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

4.5 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. If reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed-Rate Loans to reduce any liability of any Borrower to such Lender under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 4.3, so long as such designation is not, in such Lender’s judgment, disadvantageous to such Lender. Any demand for compensation pursuant to this Article IV shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount. Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed-Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed-Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed-Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The obligations of the Company and the other Borrowers under Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrowers and to issue the Letters of Credit described herein, each of the Borrowers represents and warrants as follows to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the date of this Agreement, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and thereafter on each date as required by Sections 5.3 and 5.4:

6.1 Organization; Corporate Powers. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.2 Authorization and Validity. Each of the Loan Parties has the requisite power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which it is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against each of the Loan Parties in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

6.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or by-laws or other constitutive documents and agreements or the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

6.4 Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2005 were prepared in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.

6.5 Material Adverse Change. Since December 30, 2005, there has occurred no change in the financial condition, operations, assets, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any other event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6 Taxes. The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided, or where the failure to make such payment could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges have been made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

6.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Borrowers, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a) challenging the validity or enforceability of any material provision of the Loan Documents or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material loss contingency within the meaning of Agreement Accounting Principles which has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company referred to in Section 6.4 or prepared and delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) for the fiscal period during which such material loss contingency was incurred. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order of any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 6.8 to the Disclosure Letter contains an accurate list of all of the Subsidiaries of the Company in existence on the Amendment Effective Date, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of formation. All of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8 to the Disclosure Letter, as of the Amendment Effective Date, no authorized but unissued or treasury shares of Capital Stock of any Subsidiary are subject to any option, warrant, right to call or commitment of any kind or character. As of the Amendment Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its Capital Stock or any convertible securities, rights or options to purchase its Capital Stock except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 6.8 to the Disclosure Letter. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8 to the Disclosure Letter, as of the Amendment Effective Date the Company does not own or hold, directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock or equity security of, or any equity or partnership interest in any Person other than such Subsidiaries. As of the Amendment Effective Date, no Domestic Subsidiary is required to execute and deliver the Subordination Agreement or a joinder thereto in accordance with Section 7.2(k)(iii).

6.9 ERISA. As at December 30, 2005 the Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans did not in the aggregate exceed $5,000,000. Each Plan complies and has been maintained in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan having any Unfunded Liability which has or may reasonably be expected to result in a liability to the Company in excess of $10,000,000. Neither the Company nor any other members of the Controlled Group has terminated any Single Employer Plan without in each instance funding all vested benefit obligations thereunder. Each member of the Controlled Group has fulfilled its minimum funding obligations with respect to each Multiemployer Plan. No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. There are no material actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or its Subsidiaries, threatened with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

6.10 Accuracy of Information. None of the (a) information, exhibits or reports furnished or to be furnished by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents, or (b) representations or warranties of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when taken together with the Company’s filings with the Commission, contained, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. The pro forma financial information and projections (which have not been made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles) contained in such materials is based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time made (it being understood that projections are not to be viewed as facts and by their nature involve estimations and uncertainties, and that actual results can differ from pro forma and projected financials).

6.11 Regulation U. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of those assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder.

6.12 Material Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Contractual Obligation the performance of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.13 Compliance With Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any Requirements of Law or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.14 Ownership of Properties. On the Amendment Effective Date, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good title, free of all Liens, to all of the properties and assets reflected on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet as owned by it, except Liens permitted under Section 7.3(b).

6.16 Environmental Matters. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Laws in effect in each jurisdiction where it is presently doing business and as to which the failure to so comply, in the aggregate for all such failures, would reasonably be likely to subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to liability that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any liability under the Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Laws in effect in any jurisdiction where it is presently doing business that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any:

(c) communication, written or oral, from any Governmental Authority concerning action or omission by the Company or such Subsidiary in connection with its ownership or leasing of any property resulting in the release of any hazardous substance resulting in any violation of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law;

where the effect of which, in the aggregate for all such notices and communications, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.17 Insurance. The properties and assets and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Subsidiaries of the Company, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and are similarly situated.

Each Loan Document, including, without limitation, any Alternate Currency Addendum, executed by such Subsidiary Borrower is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by such Subsidiary Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by it of the transactions therein contemplated to be consummated by it, nor compliance by such Subsidiary Borrower with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or such Subsidiary Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ memoranda of association or articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other constituent documents and agreements or the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the property of such Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental agency is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

(d) Filing. To ensure the enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement and each Loan Document to which such Subsidiary Borrower is a party (including, without limitation, any Alternate Currency Addendum) in its Home Country, except as set forth in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, it is not necessary that this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which such Subsidiary Borrower is a party or any other document be filed or recorded with any court or other authority in its Home Country or that any stamp or similar tax be paid to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document of such Subsidiary Borrower. Except as set forth in the applicable Alternate Currency Addendum, the qualification by any Lender or the Administrative Agent for admission to do business under the laws of such Subsidiary Borrower’s Home Country does not constitute a condition to, and the failure to so qualify does not affect, the exercise by any Lender or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege, or remedy afforded to any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents to which such Subsidiary Borrower is a party or the enforcement of any such right, privilege, or remedy against such Subsidiary Borrower.

(e) No Immunity. Neither such Subsidiary Borrower nor any of its assets is entitled to immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process. Such Subsidiary Borrower’s execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party constitute, and the exercise of its rights and performance of and compliance with its obligations under such Loan Documents will constitute, private and commercial acts done and performed for private and commercial purposes.

(f) Application of Representations and Warranties. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the representations and warranties of each Subsidiary Borrower (other than any Subsidiary Borrower that shall be a Subsidiary Borrower as of the Closing Date) in this Section 6.22 shall only be applicable to such Subsidiary Borrower on and after the date of its execution of an Assumption Letter and, if applicable, an Alternate Currency Addendum.

ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS,

AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Termination of Commitments; Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.1(e) or 8.1(f) occurs with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of any Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders, or the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers expressly waive.

9.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:

(a) Postpone or extend the applicable Commitment Termination Date, the Stated Maturity Date or any other date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.13).

(b) Reduce the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon.

(c) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders hereunder specified to be the applicable percentage in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”.

(d) Increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder.

(e) Permit the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement or any Guaranty (other than pursuant to Section 7.3(h)).

(g) Amend this Section 9.2.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to (a) the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, (b) any Issuing Bank shall be effective without the written consent of such Issuing Bank and (c) any Swing Line Loan shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Bank. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 14.3(b) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders.

9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Company or any other Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the requisite number of Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

10.2 Waivers. The Company waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. The Company further waives presentment, protest, notice of notices delivered or demand made on any Obligor or action or delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to sue any Obligor, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Company their assessments of the financial condition of the Obligors.

10.3 Guaranty Absolute. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a primary obligation of the Company and not one of surety, and the validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations other than the Guaranteed Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Administrative Agent and the Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Guaranty; (g) any change in the ownership of any Obligor or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Obligor; (h) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations; (i) the failure of the Company or any Obligor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty; (j) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any Obligor, or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction; (k) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any case or proceeding instituted under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (l) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by the Company, as debtor in possession, under section 363 or 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (m) the disallowance of all or any portion any Lender’s claims for repayment of the Guaranteed Debt under section 502 or 506 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; or (n) any other circumstances, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which could constitute a defense to a guarantor; all whether or not the Company shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (n) of this paragraph. It is agreed that the Company’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other guaranties or other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof and that the Company’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guaranties or other obligations or any provision of any applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner agreed upon between the Obligor and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

10.4 Acceleration. The Company agrees that, as between the Company on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, the obligations of each Obligor guaranteed under this Article X may be declared to be forthwith due and payable, or may be deemed automatically to have been accelerated, as provided in Section 9.1 for purposes of this Article X, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting such Obligor or otherwise) preventing such declaration as against such Obligor and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Obligor) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company for purposes of this Article X.

10.5 Marshaling; Reinstatement. None of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Company or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.

10.6 Subrogation. Until the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations and termination of all commitments which could give rise to any Guaranteed Obligation, the Company shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders now has or may hereafter have against the Company, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Company hereby waives any other liability of any Obligor to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders.

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

12.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. BNS is appointed by the Lenders as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Holder of Obligations by reason of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Holders of Obligations, and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates as Holders of Obligations, agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Holder of Obligations waives.

12.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents required to be taken by the Administrative Agent.

12.3 General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Company, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

12.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Creditworthiness, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or (e) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

12.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all owners of Loans and on all Holders of Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

12.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

12.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

12.8 The Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Banks’, Alternate Currency Lenders’ and Swing Line Bank’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.

(a) The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers (i) for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (ii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank and the Alternate Currency Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers (and without duplication of clause (a) above) (i) any amounts not reimbursed by any Borrower for which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank and the Alternate Currency Lenders are entitled to reimbursement by any Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any Alternate Currency Lender on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or any Alternate Currency Lender in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank or the applicable Alternate Currency Lender.

12.9 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment, Loans made by it, Swing Line Loans made by it and Letters of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, “Swing Line Bank”, “Issuing Bank” or “Issuing Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

12.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Company and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.11 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, subject to the Company’s approval, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Such successor Administrative Agent shall be a Lender or commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

12.12 No Duties Imposed Upon Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or Arranger. None of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, (a) expressly granted indemnification rights or rights under the Fee Letters and (b) if such Person is a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons identified on the cover page to this Agreement, the signature pages to this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement as a “Co-Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Arranger” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to or fiduciary relationship with any Lender. In addition to the agreements set forth in Section 12.10, each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

13.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, any Indebtedness from any Lender to the Company or any other Borrower (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

13.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 and payments expressly hereunder provided to be distributed on other than a pro rata basis or payments made and distributed in accordance with Section 2.13) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligation or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

100

13.3 Application of Payments. The Administrative Agent shall apply all payments and prepayments in respect of any Obligations in the following order:

(a) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the applicable Borrower and to pay any Swing Line Loan, Alternate Currency Loan or Reimbursement Obligation that has not been paid; (b) second, to the ratable payment of the Obligations then due and payable; and (c) third, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations (and in the case of the foregoing clauses (b) and (c), the amount of voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.6 shall be applied in direct order to the remaining Term Loan amortization payments due in the next succeeding twelve months and then prorata in accordance with the amount of each remaining Term Loan amortization payment).

13.4 Relations Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

ARTICLE XIV

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

14.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the consent of all of the Lenders, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 14.1(a) shall be null and void, and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3. Notwithstanding clause (b) of this Section 14.1 or Section 14.3, (i) any Lender may at any time, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent (unless a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) any Lender which is a fund or commingled investment vehicle that invests in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business may at any time, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent (unless a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), pledge or assign all or any part of its rights under this Agreement to a trustee or other representative of holders of obligations owed or securities issued by such Lender as collateral to secure such obligations or securities; provided that no such assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may treat each Lender as the owner of the Loans made by such Lender hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until such Lender complies with Section 14.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Loan, Commitment, L/C Interest or any other interest of a lender under the Loan Documents agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such Loan.

101

14.2 Participations.

(a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 14.2, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender, any L/C Interest of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis. Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan or other interest to a Participant shall, as agent of the Borrower solely for the purpose of this Section 14.2, record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests. Moreover, notwithstanding such recordation, such participation shall not be considered an assignment under Section 14.3 and such Participant shall not be considered a Lender. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of all Loans made by it for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the applicable Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that, for purposes of Section 2.16, Article IV and Section 9.2, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 4.1 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which (i) forgives principal, interest or fees, (ii) reduces the interest rate or fees payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to any such Loan or Commitment or (iii) postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, or extends the Termination Date of, any such Loan or Commitment.

102

14.3 Assignments.

(a) Permitted Assignments. (1) Any Lender (each such assigning Lender under this Section 14.3 being an “Assigning Lender”) may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) (“Purchasers”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment, any Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans, and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loans hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3.

(A) Subject to clause (B) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Purchasers, Lenders, Affiliates of a Lender or Approved Funds of a Lender, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto; and

(ii) except in the case of (X) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the Assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or (Y) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or principal outstanding balance of the Loans of each of the Assigning Lender and the Purchaser after giving effect to the assignment shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents.

(B) Any assignment of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment proposed pursuant to clause (A) to any Person (other than a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender) (i) shall be made prorata with participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and (ii) shall be subject to the prior written approval of (X) the Administrative Agent, (Y) the Swing Line Bank, the Issuing Bank and any Alternate Currency Lender and (Z) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such assignment is to become effective, the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld). Any assignment of a Term Loan proposed pursuant to clause (A) to any Person (other than a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender) shall be subject to the prior written approval of (X) the Administrative Agent and (Y) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such assignment is to become effective, the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld). If the consent of the Company to an assignment is required hereunder, the Company shall be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the Assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Company, unless such consent is expressly refused by the Company prior to such tenth Business Day.

103

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (each such Lender, a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (each such special purpose funding vehicle, a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the applicable Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company and the other Borrowers all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the applicable Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by any SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the applicable Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or other similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the applicable Granting Bank). All notices hereunder to any Granting Bank or the related SPC, and all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Granting Bank or the related SPC, shall be made to such Granting Bank. In addition, each Granting Bank shall vote as a Lender hereunder without giving effect to any assignment under this Section 14.3(a)(ii), and not SPC shall have any vote as a Lender under this Agreement for any purpose. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereto. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.3, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing or administrative fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interest in any Advances to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 14.3(a)(i)) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Advances and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section 14.3(a)(ii) may not be amended without the written consent of each SPC affected thereby.

104

(b) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Alternate Currency Lenders of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Appendix I to Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consent required by Section 14.3(a), (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignee or the assignor (as agreed) to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, and (iii) the completion of the recording requirements in Section 14.3(c), such assignment shall become effective on the later of such date when the requirements in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) are met or the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment, Loans and L/C Obligations under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser, if not already a Lender, shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by any Borrower, the Lenders, the Alternate Currency Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the Assigning Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans and Letter of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Alternate Currency Loan participations assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 14.3(b), the Assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Alternate Currency Lenders and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, to the extent notes have been issued to evidence any of the transferred Loans, replacement notes are issued to such Assigning Lender and new notes or, as appropriate, replacement notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to pay under Section 2.15(e) to any Lender that is a Purchaser, assignee or transferee any sum in excess of the sum which such Borrower would have been obligated to pay to the Lender that was the Assigning Lender, assignor or transferor had such assignment or transfer not been effected.

(c) The Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such designation, to serve as such Borrower’s contractual representative solely for purposes of this Section 14.3(c). In this connection, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 15.1 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to this Section 14.3 and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender, the principal amount of and interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 14.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
