Adjusted EBITDA shall be determined by reference to Holdings’ statement of operations for the applicable period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) Adjusted EBITDA shall not include any revenues generated by or allocable to any GGP Property to the extent that the Investment in such GGP Property violates Section 7.7; (2) Adjusted EBITDA shall not include any revenues generated by or allocable to any Real Estate Under Construction with respect to which Holdings elects to include Construction Asset Cost in Capitalization Value (provided, however, that such revenues may be included to the extent that (A) the construction in question constitutes renovation or expansion of a GGP Property that is otherwise completed, open for business and operational, (B) the construction in question will not materially interrupt, limit or impair such ongoing business and operations, and (C) the inclusion of both such revenues in Adjusted EBITDA and such Construction Asset Cost in Capitalization Value is not duplicative); (3) the headquarters building located at 110 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois is not a GGP Property for purposes of this definition; and (4) Adjusted EBITDA for any period of four consecutive calendar quarters shall not include any revenues generated by or allocable to any GGP Property Disposed of by any Consolidated Entity or any Minority Holding during such period (as if the consummation of such Disposition occurred on the first day of such period); provided that Adjusted EBITDA generated by or allocable to any GGP Property Disposed of by any Consolidated Entity or any Minority Holding during such period shall be included in Adjusted EBITDA solely for the purposes of calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; provided, further, that the immediately preceding “provided” clause shall not apply to the extent that the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA from GGP Property which has been Disposed of by any Consolidated Entity or any Minority Holding would result in duplication due to the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA (on an annualized basis) from any GGP Property acquired by any Consolidated Entity or any Minority Holding during such period.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, such Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note of such Borrower evidencing any Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or Competitive Bid Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender owed by such Borrower, substantially in the forms of Exhibit F-1, F-2, F-3 or F-4 respectively (a “Tranche A-1 Term Note”, “Revolving Credit Note”, “Swing Line Note” or “Competitive Bid Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit on the Closing Date.

2.9 Credit Facility Fees, etc. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a credit facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Credit Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender made available to such Borrower hereunder during the period for which payment is made (whether or not such Revolving Credit Commitment is then in use), payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day immediately following the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(b) Holdings shall pay to, or cause to be paid to, the Arrangers (or their Affiliates) the fees in the amounts and on the dates that Holdings and the Arrangers have previously agreed in writing.

(c) Holdings shall pay to, or cause to be paid to, the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates that Holdings and the Administrative Agent have previously agreed in writing.

2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments made available to such Borrower hereunder or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments made available to such Borrower hereunder; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any payments or prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and Competitive Bid Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments made available to such Borrower hereunder then in effect.

2.11 Optional Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to such Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is

of Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Competitive Bid Loans (to the extent then prepayable), and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the relevant Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21 and (ii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of (A) Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans or (B) Competitive Bid Loans that are Absolute Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Tranche A-1 Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) Except as may be expressly provided in the related Competitive Bid, Competitive Bid Loans may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the applicable Lender(s).

2.12 [Intentionally Omitted.]

2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans owed by it to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date that is at least three Business Days’ prior to such conversion irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans owed by it to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date that is at least three Business Days’ prior to such conversion irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Each Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan owed by it as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan; in the event a Borrower neither timely elects to continue a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with the preceding provisions of this sentence nor notifies the Administrative Agent of such Borrower’s election to convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan within the time set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.13(a) (by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date three Business Days prior to expiration of the then current Interest Period), then such Borrower shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to continue such Eurodollar Loan for a new Interest Period of one month, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided further, that if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice (or upon any deemed election to continue any Eurodollar Loan) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(c) A Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by such time as may be required under this Section 2.13 (or by the definition of the term “Interest Period” in Section 1.1) if the Borrower confirms such telephonic notice by delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the same day.

2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan (other than Competitive Bid Loans) shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day.

(c) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest for each Interest Period (if an Eurodollar Loan) or day (if an Absolute Rate Loan) with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive Bid Rate for such Competitive Bid Loan.

(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any Facility Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration date of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as

practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate, as applicable. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the relevant Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of any Borrower, deliver to such Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15.

2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified in good faith by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof to the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which notice, in the case of Section 2.17(b), the Administrative Agent shall withdraw promptly upon notice by Majority Facility Lenders that the determination made thereunder is no longer the case (which notice Majority Facility Lenders shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent when the determination made under Section 2.17(b) is no longer the case)), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder (except for Swing Line Loans, Competitive Bid Loans and additional loans made pursuant to Section 2.27, if any), each payment by any Borrower on account of any Facility Fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche A-1 Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including any prepayment or payment pursuant to Section 2.3(a)) by any Borrower on account of principal of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A-1 Terms Loans of such Borrower then held by the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lenders.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans of such Borrower then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender.

(d) Unless otherwise designated by the relevant Borrower, the application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility (and, as among such Eurodollar Loans, first to the Eurodollar Loan(s) which have the shortest remaining Interest Period(s)). Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by all Lenders or expressly provided otherwise herein, any proceeds received in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be allocated pro rata between the Revolving Credit Facility (including Swing Line Loans and Competitive Bid Loans) and the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility according to the respective outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility at such time and then each such allocated portion shall be further allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Tranche A-1 Term Lenders, as applicable, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans or Tranche A-1 Term Loans, as the case may be, then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be.

(f) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made no later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by any Borrower after 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest

thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the relevant Borrower. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the corresponding amount of such Lender’s share of such borrowing that was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan, and if both such Lender and such Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Borrower such corresponding amount of such advance by the Administrative Agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation to make Loans or shall be deemed to limit the rights of any party against any such Lender.

(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the relevant Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Borrower.

(i) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems in good faith to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender, within 30 days of written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable on the Loans owed by such Borrower. Any such demand for additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19(a) shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such additional amount and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations to a Borrower hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then within 30 days after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, each Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction that is attributable to the Loans owed to such Lender by such Borrower; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. Any request for additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19(b) shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such additional amount and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, gross receipts, capital or franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to increase

any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of an SPC, at the time such SPC initially makes a Loan hereunder), except if and to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) (or, in the case of an SPC, such SPC’s Granting Lender) was entitled, at the time of assignment (or, in the case of an SPC, at the time such SPC initially makes a Loan hereunder), to receive additional amounts from such Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a).

(b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes applicable to the Loans owed by it hereunder to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as reasonably possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such taxes.

(d) (1) Each Lender that is a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and that is not a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and/or whose name does not contain an unambiguous expression of corporate status as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1) or whose lending office is in a jurisdiction outside the U.S. shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (2) each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two original copies of either a duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of an SPC, at the time such SPC initially makes a Loan hereunder). In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms (or any successor thereto) to the Borrowers promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably

requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or treaty as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation.

(f) For purposes of this Section 2.20, an SPC that makes a Loan pursuant to Section 10.6(g) shall be treated as a Lender.

2.21 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify on demand each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by such Borrower of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the relevant Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the relevant Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21. If, at any time after an event giving rise to the operation of this Section 2.22 with respect to a Lender has occurred, such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice to each other Lender. Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Loans shall thereupon be restored.

2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the relevant Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or

regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.

2.24 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (b) assigns (or purports to assign) its Loans or any portion thereof in violation of Section 10.6(b) or 10.6(c) or (c) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution; provided that, as to any replacement, (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have, in accordance with Section 2.23, eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or eliminated the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.22, (iii) the replacement financial institution or institutions shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.25 Extension Options.

(a) The Borrowers shall have one option (the “Revolving Credit Extension Option”) to extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Commitments for a period of one year. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.25(c), the Borrowers may exercise such option by delivering written notice (the “Revolving Credit Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 45 days prior to the then applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date, but in no event prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the then applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Borrowers’ delivery of the Revolving Credit Extension Notice shall be irrevocable (subject to clause (d) below).

(b) The Borrowers shall have one option (the “Tranche A-1 Term Loan Extension Option”) to extend the maturity of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans for a period of one year. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.25(c), the Borrowers may exercise such option by delivering written notice (the “Tranche A-1 Term Loan Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 45 days prior to the then applicable Tranche A-1 Term Loan Termination Date, but in no event prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the then applicable Tranche A-1 Term Loan Termination Date. The Borrowers’ delivery of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Extension Notice shall be irrevocable (subject to clause (d) below).

(c) The Borrowers’ right to exercise either Extension Option shall in each case be subject to the following conditions: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either on the date the applicable Extension Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent or on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Termination Date, as the case may be, (ii) all representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in any Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the applicable extension (except that representations and warranties which refer to an earlier date need only have been true and correct in all material respects

when made), (iii) the applicable Extension Notice was delivered in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.25 and (iv) the Borrowers have paid the applicable Extension Fee to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the applicable extension date.

(d) Within 15 Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Extension Notice, the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Facility Lenders, shall provide written notice (the “RCR Notice”) to the Borrowers of the Retail Cap Rate that will apply for such extension term. If within seven Business Days of the delivery of the RCR Notice to the Borrowers, the Borrowers have not withdrawn their Extension Notice by written notice to the Administrative Agent, then the Retail Cap Rate for such extension term shall be as set forth in the RCR Notice. If the Borrowers withdraw the applicable Extension Notice, no extension shall occur with respect to the applicable Facility and to the extent the Borrowers have paid an Extension Fee in accordance with clause (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly refund such amount to the Borrowers. To the extent the Administrative Agent has previously paid any Extension Fee it received to the Lenders, each such Lender shall promptly refund same to the Administrative Agent (which shall refund amounts so received by it to the Borrowers).

2.26 Competitive Bid Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, any Borrower may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Bid Loans; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans at any time shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate amount of the greater of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as of the Closing Date and (B) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at the time such Competitive Bid Loan is made, (ii) after giving effect to the making of such Competitive Bid Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be less than zero and (iii) after giving effect to the making of such Competitive Bid Loan, the aggregate amount of Revolving Extensions of Credit owing by such Borrower shall not exceed the limit applicable to such Borrower set forth in Section 2.4(c). To request Competitive Bids, the requesting Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed Eurodollar Loan and, in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Absolute Rate Loan; provided that the Borrower may submit no more than three (3) Competitive Bid Requests within any 30 day period. Each such telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit H (or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Competitive Bid Request shall specify the following information:

	(i)		the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Bid Loan;

	(ii)		the date such Competitive Bid Loan is to be made, which shall be a Business Day;

	(iii)		whether such Competitive Bid Loan is to be a Eurodollar Loan or an Absolute Rate Loan;

	(iv)		(A) the term for and Interest Period(s) applicable to any Competitive Bid Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan, which term shall be a period of one, two, three or six months for Eurodollar Loans or (B) the term for any Absolute Rate Loans, which shall be seven to 180 days; and

(v)

the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in accordance with this Section 2.26, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

(b) Each Lender may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to the requesting Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive Bid Loan, and in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Bid Loan. Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the form approved by the Administrative Agent may be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender and Borrowers of such rejection as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $20,000,000 and an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Bid Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Competitive Bid Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places), (iii) if a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and (iv) the maturity of such Loan.

(d) Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Loan, and in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Bid Loan; provided that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each applicable Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid, and (iv) except pursuant to clause (iii) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Bid Loan unless such Competitive Bid Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $20,000,000 and an integral multiple of $10,000,000; provided further that if a Competitive Bid Loan must be in an amount less than $20,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iii) above, such Competitive Bid Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iii) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the principal amount and Competitive

Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Bid Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.26(b).

(g) Any Lender whose offer to make any Competitive Bid Loan has been accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.26 shall, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make available the principal amount of such Loan to the Administrative Agent as specified by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower and designated by the Borrower at the time of its acceptance of a Competitive Bid.

2.27 Increase in Revolving Credit Facility and Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility.

(a) Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility, or a combination of both, by an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $500,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $5,000,000. The notice sent by the Borrowers shall specify the amount they desire to increase the Revolving Credit Facility or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility, or a combination of both. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond as to whether such Lender agrees to increase the amount of its Commitment in accordance with Section 2.27(b).

(b) Each Lender of the applicable Facility to which the Borrowers have requested an increase in accordance with Section 2.27(a) shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees, in its sole discretion, to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche A-1 Term Loan Commitment, or both, as the case may be, and, if so, by what amount (which need not be its pro rata share thereof). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. Each Lender that agrees to increase its Commitment shall be an “Increasing Lender”.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrowers may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders (each such Lender, a “New Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) If the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Commitment (including due to new Commitments by New Lenders) is increased in accordance with this Section 2.27, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the

Borrowers and the Lenders (including any New Lenders) of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Any increase in the Revolving Credit Facility or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility pursuant to this Section 2.27 shall be subject to the following conditions:

	(i)		The Borrowers shall have paid to (A) the Administrative Agent, such fees, if any, as shall be due to the Administrative Agent at such time, and (B) to each Lender, such fees, if any, as shall have been agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender;

	(ii)		As of the Increase Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result from such increase in Revolving Credit Facility or Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility (including on a pro forma basis relative to financial covenant compliance);

	(iii)		The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement and changes occurring in the ordinary course of business (in each case to the extent not constituting a Default or Event of Default), (2) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such increase in the Revolving Credit Facility or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility (including on a pro forma basis relative to financial covenant compliance), and (3) the incurrence of Indebtedness after giving effect to all Commitment increases and new Commitments would not result in a breach of, or a default under, any material agreement to which any Borrower is a party.

	(iv)		The Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders Notes (to the extent requested pursuant to Section 2.8(e)) and such documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders reasonably may require.

	(v)		The Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.21) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Credit Commitment allocations arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.27. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrowers may avoid the necessity of any such prepayment by borrowing from the Lenders providing such increase in the Commitments the amount needed so that the Revolving Credit Loans are ratable or may defer the Increase Effective Date of any new Revolving Credit Commitments so as to coincide with the expiration of Interest Periods then in effect.

(f) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any New Lender or Increasing Lenders, as the case may, such Borrower will promptly execute and deliver (i) a new Note to the order of such New Lender and (ii) a replacement Note to the order of such Increasing Lender, in each case in the appropriate stated amount.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.27 shall not constitute a “commitment” to lend, and the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be increased until satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2.27 and actual increase of the Commitments as provided herein.

(h) After any Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each applicable Lender and the Borrowers a statement setting forth the new Revolving Credit Percentages or the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Percentages.

2.28 Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement (a) permits the Borrowers to obtain the Facilities and (b) amends and restates the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement does not extinguish such Obligations nor does this Agreement constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of any of the Borrowers (to support such Borrower’s obligations or the obligations of any of its Subsidiaries) on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero or (iii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Extensions of Credit owing by such Borrower would exceed the limit applicable to such Borrower set forth in Section 2.4(c). Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any of the Borrowers may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to the Issuing Lender, the relevant Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the relevant Borrower (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit

earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by the Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the relevant Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall in turn give notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders) of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all its outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, each Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all its outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount, if any, to be agreed upon in writing between such Borrower and the Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the relevant Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender, if any, in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall

promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of the Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender, on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies such Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and paid by the Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(d), provided that no amount payable in respect of clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be due and payable to the Issuing Lender until the relevant Borrower is notified in writing of the incurrence of such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the relevant Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any

beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender and any L/C Participant shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant or other Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to such Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the relevant Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary, the Borrower which requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.

3.10 Existing Letters of Credit. Upon the Closing Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and shall be outstanding hereunder, and each Existing Letter of Credit Issuer shall be the Issuing Lender with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit issued by it.

No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) consents, authorizations, filings and notices in connection with contracts (other than agreements governing Secured Mortgage Indebtedness) that are not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the operations of any Borrower and which the failure to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) the consents listed on Schedule 4.4 which have not been obtained or made and which the failure to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) the filings referred to in Section 4.19.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject, in the case of any realization upon the Pledged Equity, to the obtaining of any third party consents or approvals and the giving of third party notices that may be required), the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate or conflict with (i) any Requirement of Law, (ii) any Loan Party’s charter, certificate or articles of incorporation, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational or governing documents of a Loan Party or (iii) any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member in any material respect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

4.6 No Material Litigation. Other than as may be disclosed on Schedule 4.6 or in Holdings’ filings with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or any other Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Intellectual Property. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, (ii) no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Group Member know of any valid basis for any such claim and (iii) the use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person.

4.10 Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (taking into account the due date (including any extensions thereto) for payment of such taxes, fees, or other charges) (other than the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the applicable Group Member); and, to the knowledge of Holdings or any other Borrower, no material claim is being asserted with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge which could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect in violation of the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.

4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or any other Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Group Members have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Plan has complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, where failure to comply with such requirements, singly or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan (other than standard termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA) resulting in liability under Title IV of ERISA has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period, and it is not reasonably anticipated that material liability will be assessed against the Borrowers or

any Controlled Group Entity under Section 4069 of ERISA. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation report prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity contributes to, or has contributed to, any Multiemployer Plan or has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan which contribution or withdrawal has resulted or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if any Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the knowledge of the Borrowers, no Multiemployer Plan, for which the Borrowers or any Commonly Controlled Entity has liability, is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Group Member or any of its Subsidiaries (i) is a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, (ii) is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (iii) is subject to regulations under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code, or any other federal or state statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of Holdings at the date hereof.

Schedule 4.15-2 sets forth as of a date reasonably close to the Closing Date a diagram indicating the structure of Rouse LLC and each Subsidiary of Rouse LLC (including the name of each such Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party). Schedules 4.15-1 and 4.15-2 are accurate and complete as of the Closing Date in all material respects.

(b) As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any material nature relating to any Capital Stock of any Group Member, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15.

SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf and in the Administrative Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person or Persons under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person or Persons’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper

Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, Holdings or any other Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the other Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the other Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and Holdings. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent (with the consent of such successor agent) for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by Holdings (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Any Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent resign as a Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by such Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers. Any Documentation Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent resign as a Documentation Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Documentation Agent hereunder

shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by such Documentation Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as an Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 Authorization to Execute Certain Documents and to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders (i) to execute and deliver each Acknowledgment Agreement, the Control Agreement and the Syndication Letter and (ii) to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

9.11 The Arrangers; the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents. None of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of Holdings or the other Borrowers, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its

participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section 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.

(c) Any Lender (each, an “Assignor”) may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned) at any time assign to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (each, an “Assignee”) all, or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, its Note and the other Loan Documents provided, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if an Event of Default exists, or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender, to an Affiliate of another Lender or to a Related Fund, (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 and, after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender (unless it has sold its entire remaining Commitment and outstanding Loans) holds a Commitment of at least $1,000,000, and (iii) such Assignee shall assume the assigned rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Any assignment in violation of this Section 10.6(c) shall be void ab initio.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrowers or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Within ten (10) Business Days after Holdings’ or Wachovia Bank, National Association’s (provided that, Wachovia Bank, National Association is then a Lender) written request from time to time, Administrative Agent shall furnish to Holdings or Wachovia Bank, National Association, as the case may be, a list of the Lenders as maintained in the Register.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of the Assignment Fee, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to Holdings and the other Borrowers. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrowers, at their own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note or applicable Tranche A-1 Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note or Tranche A-1 Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche A-1 Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche A-1 Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note or Tranche A-1 Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or applicable Tranche A-1 Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit, or require the consent of any other party hereto with respect to, assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the other Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). 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 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 thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of Holdings and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrowers may be disclosed only with the

consent of Holdings which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the other Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the other Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings or the other Borrowers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the other Borrowers, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Arranger, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED

AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATION IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to Holdings or the other Borrowers, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

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

10.13 Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or any other Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the other Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrowers and the Lenders.

10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall

prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its and its affiliates’ employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, auditors, trustees and other professional advisors, (d) to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(f) that, other than in the case of any Federal Reserve Bank, agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions or to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or the National Association of Securities Dealers or any similar self-regulatory body or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

10.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of Holdings in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers, as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of Holdings, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers, as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be automatically reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then Holdings and the Administrative Agent agree to
