(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(G) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.02(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender, it being understood that the receipt by the Collateral Agent of cash Collateral from either the Borrowers or such

-43-

Defaulting Lender in respect of such Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed satisfactory to the L/C Issuer; or

(H) any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender, unless the Collateral Agent has received (as set forth below) cash Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) from either the Borrowers or such Deteriorating Lender in respect of such Deteriorating Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.02(c), it being understood that the receipt by the Collateral Agent of cash Collateral from either the Borrowers or such Deteriorating Lender in respect of such Deteriorating Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed satisfactory to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit, except in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least four (4) Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the account party thereunder, and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrowers and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

-44-

Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing. Not later than 12:00 p.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date of payment, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which may be effected through the debiting of one or more deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed

-45-

Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.02.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall accrue beginning on the Honor Date for any such draw under a Letter of Credit.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

-46-

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.02(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

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

(iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that a Borrower or any other Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such

-47-

transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

(vi) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any Property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or any difference between any such Property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such Property as described in such documents;

(vii) the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of Property as described in documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;

(viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

(ix) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any Property;

(x) any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter of Credit not caused by the L/C Issuer, or any delay or interruption in any such message;

(xi) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the L/C Issuer in connection with a Letter of Credit;

(xii) any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer;

(xiii) the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to the L/C Issuer in connection with a Letter of Credit; and

-48-

(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers;

provided, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of the Borrowers of any claims as further set forth in Section 2.02(f) below.

The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each of the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Sections 2.02(e)(i) – (xiv); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

-49-

(g) Cash Collateral.

(i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. The Borrowers hereby grant the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a Lien on all such cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for the Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit. The Lien held by the Collateral Agent in such cash collateral to secure the Obligations shall be released upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (2) all L/C Obligations shall have been repaid in full and (3) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(ii) In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 2.02(a)(ii)(H), if at any time during which one or more Letters of Credit are outstanding, any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender, then no later than five (5) Business Days of written demand thereof from the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers and/or the Deteriorating Lender (or just the Borrowers to the extent the Deteriorating Lender fails to do so) shall provide the Collateral Agent with Cash Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) in respect of such Deteriorating Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.02(c) in an amount not less than the aggregate amount of such obligations. The Borrowers and/or such Deteriorating Lender hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral (and the Cash Collateral described in Section 2.02(a)(ii)(H)) and all proceeds of the foregoing. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate L/C Obligations in respect of such Deteriorating Lender, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate L/C Obligations over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Governmental Rules, to reimburse the L/C Issuer. If the Administrative Agent determines in its discretion that a Deteriorating Lender shall no longer be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Deteriorating Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of such determination and any the Cash Collateral shall be returned to the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, as further provided and on the terms set forth in Section 7.07(c) hereof.

(iii) Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Wells Fargo and may be invested in Cash Equivalents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such accounts must be subject to control agreements pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has “control,” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to perfect on a first priority basis a security interest in such cash collateral.

(h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International

-50-

Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) (the “ISP”) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share, a Letter of Credit fee for each such Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (plus two percent (2.00%) during such time that the Default Rate is in effect with respect to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.07(c)) applicable from time to time during such period multiplied by the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each such fee, when due, shall be fully earned and when paid, shall be non-refundable. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans during any quarter, the Applicable Margin used for the calculation of the Letter of Credit fee shall be the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on each day during such quarter.

(j) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, transfer, negotiation, fronting, presentation, amendment, documentation and other processing fees (including, without limitation, the issuance fee set forth in the Fee Letter) and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Trade Bank as L/C Issuer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, at its option, Wells Fargo, as L/C Issuer, may arrange for Letters of Credit to be issued by Trade Bank as agent for Wells Fargo. All parties hereto understand and agree that to the extent any Letters of Credit are issued by Trade Bank as agent for Wells Fargo, (i) Trade Bank is agent only to Wells Fargo and not to the Borrowers and has no obligations to the Borrowers, (ii) the Letters of Credit issued by Trade Bank will be deemed Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer for all purposes hereunder and (iii) any of the obligations performed or rights exercised pursuant to or in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Trade Bank shall be deemed obligations performed or rights exercised by Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer. To the extent that the L/C Issuer is required to provide any notices to, or take any other actions for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent hereunder, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by Trade Bank, no such notice or action shall be required.

2.03. Swing Line.

(a) The Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date up to but not including the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, and provided, further, that the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. Furthermore, before making any Swing Line Loans (if at such time any Lender is a Deteriorating Lender), the Swing Line Lender may condition the provision of such Swing Line Loans on its receipt of Cash Collateral or similar security satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) from either the Borrowers or such Deteriorating Lender in respect of such Deteriorating Lender’s risk participation in such Swing Line Loans as set forth below. The Borrowers and/or such Deteriorating Lender hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, deposit accounts at Wells Fargo and may be invested in Cash Equivalents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such accounts must be subject to control agreements pursuant to which the Collateral Agent has “control,” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to perfect on a first priority basis a security interest in such cash collateral. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate risk participation of such Deteriorating Lender in the relevant Swing Line Loan, the Borrowers and/or such Deteriorating Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate risk participation over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Collateral Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. At such times there are Swing Ling Loans outstanding for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied as and when determined by the Swing Line Lender, to the extent

-52-

permitted under applicable Governmental Rules, to reimburse and otherwise pay the applicable obligations owing to the Swing Line Lender.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be requested pursuant to the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount shall be a minimum amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by the delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, which notice may be delivered by facsimile. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m., on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m., on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers at its office by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan

-53-

to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be requested in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such purchase of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participation was outstanding and funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds

-54-

Rate from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Subject to Section 2.07(c), each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Proportionate Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing March 31, 2010) and at maturity.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

(i) The Borrowers may not reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; and

(ii) The Borrowers may not cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

(i) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced by an amount equal to the maximum amount that would be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(d) in connection with a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.06(c)(v) or Section 2.06(c)(vii) if the

The Borrowers shall pay the Commitment Fees in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing March 31, 2010) and on the Maturity Date (or if all of the Total Revolving Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the Maturity Date, on such prior date).

(e) Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on

-61-

which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrowers have made or will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error as to the matters noted therein. In addition to the Loan Accounts, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.

-62-

Borrowers’ Obligations. The Borrowers further authorize each Revolving Lender to attach to and make a part of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. If, because any Revolving Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, such Revolving Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Revolving Loans, then each such note shall be in the form of Exhibit E, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall be (w) payable to the order of such Revolving Lender, (x) in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, (y) dated the Closing Date and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Revolving Loan Note.

(c) Term Loan Notes. Upon request by any Term Lender, each Term Lender’s Term Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F (individually, a “Term Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Term Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan, (iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. If, because any Term Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Portions and LIBOR Portions, such Term Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Portions, then each such note shall be in the form of Exhibit F, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall be (w) payable to the order of such Term Lender, (x) in the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan, (y) dated the Closing Date and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Term Loan Note.

(d) Swing Line Notes. Upon request by the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit G (individually, a “Swing Line Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans, (iii) dated the Closing Date and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.

After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Loan or Letter of Credit, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the joint account of the Borrowers maintained by the Borrowers on the books of Wells Fargo with the amount of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrowers as provided above.

(b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share or Term Proportionate Share, as the case may be, of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.09(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share or Term Proportionate Share, as the case may be, of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at per annum rates equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.09(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share or Term Proportionate Share, as the case may be, of any Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the Borrowers shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(c) Lenders’ Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be funded by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing or fund its participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan or fund any participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans which another Lender has failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing or to fund any participation required to be funded by such other Lender.

2.10. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing and reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

(ii) The Term Loan Borrowing shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Term Proportionate Shares;

-64-

(iii) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

(iv) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

(v) Each payment of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.02(i) shall be shared among the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender;

(vi) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

(vii) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, fees paid in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.10(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance

-65-

with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant.

2.11. Change of Circumstances.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, (i) any Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market or (ii) any Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent that the rate of interest for such Loan or Portion, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to the Borrowers and the other Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until the Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions into Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions, as the case may be, unless such suspension has then ended.

(b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion as determined in good faith by such Lender (such determination shall be made only after consultation with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent), such Lender shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a new Interest Period for LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions with respect to such Lender shall be terminated, and (ii) the Borrowers shall, at the request of such Lender, pursuant to Section 2.01(e), convert any such then outstanding LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions of such Lender into Base Rate Loans or Base Rate Portions, as the case may be, at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions or when required by law. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.13. After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such a Change of Law and until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, all Revolving Loans and all Portions of the Term Loan of such Lender shall be Base Rate Loans and Base Rate Portions, respectively.

-66-

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by the Borrowers to any Lender under this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its principal executive office is located or as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) imposing such amounts (other than any such connection arising from the Lender’s having executed, delivered, or performed its obligation, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit Documents or having received payments under any Credit Document) or changes with respect to Taxes for which the Lender has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.12); or

(ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate for any Loans or Portions), special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any Lender for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion; or

(iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition related to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or such Lender’s Commitments;

and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”) and (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Person, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand of such Lender, such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs, submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this

-67-

Agreement. Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than nine months prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Borrowers of such Change of Law and such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the Change of Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within nine months from the date on which the applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change of Law.

2.12. Taxes on Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.12, all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future federal, state, local and foreign taxes, levies, imposts, duties and deductions, fees, assessments, withholdings, or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by a Governmental Authority and all interest, penalties and other liabilities imposed with respect thereto, including withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, but excluding (except as provided in the second succeeding sentence) (i) Taxes imposed on a Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s overall net income and franchise taxes imposed on such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in each case, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or Administrative Agent’s principal office or any political subdivision thereof or as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender (or Administrative Agent) and the jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof imposing such amounts (other than any such connection arising from the Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s having executed, delivered, or performed its obligations, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit Documents or having received payments under any Credit Document) and (ii) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States of America or similar Taxes imposed as of the date hereof (other than as a result of a Lender or the Administrative Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations, or enforced this Agreement or any other Credit Documents or having received payments under any Credit Document) by any other jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, fees, assessments, withholdings, or other charges of whatever nature and all interest, penalties and other liabilities imposed with respect thereto being referred to herein as “Indemnifiable Taxes”, and such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, fees, assessments, withholdings or other charges of whatever nature and all interest, penalties and other liabilities imposed with respect thereto being referred to herein as “Excluded Taxes”). If Indemnifiable Taxes are imposed in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, then (i) subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(e), the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make all required deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If any amounts are payable in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for Excluded Taxes and for any withholding of Taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf

-68-

of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. In addition, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any excise, transfer, sales and use, value added or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b) Subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(e), the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of all Indemnifiable Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12(b) or the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(a)) paid by such Lender, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days following the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor; provided, that the Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) shall provide the Borrowers with a certificate setting forth the manner in which the amount of such indemnification was calculated.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld hereunder (and, with respect to any Taxes or Other Taxes not so withheld, to the extent available), the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations hereunder.

(e) On or prior to the date of the initial Loans or, if such date does not occur within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, by the end of such 30-day period, (I) each Lender which is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor applicable form), as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments of interest under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (B) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC and cannot deliver either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (A) above (any such lender, a “Non-Bank Lender”), (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K (any such certificate, a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement, and (II) each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC), shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Each such Lender further agrees (i) promptly to notify the Borrowers and the

-69-

Administrative Agent of any change of circumstances which would prevent such Lender from receiving payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding of Indemnifiable Taxes and (ii) if such Lender has not so notified the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change of circumstances which would prevent such Lender from receiving payments hereunder without any deduction or withholding of Indemnifiable Taxes, then on or before the date that any certificate or other form delivered by such Lender under this Section 2.12(e) expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent such certificate or form previously delivered by such Lender, to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a new certificate or form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction of Indemnifiable Taxes, but only if and to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so. If a Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under Section 2.15) fails to provide to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.12(e) (or, in the case of an Assignee Lender, Section 8.05(c)) any certificates or other evidence required by such provision to establish that such Lender is, at the time it becomes a Lender hereunder, entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, such Lender shall not be entitled to any indemnification under Section 2.12(a) for any such Taxes imposed on such Lender primarily as a result of such failure, except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time such Lender became a Lender hereunder, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Tax pursuant to Section 2.12(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12, the Borrowers agree to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.12(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes (other than a change in rate of taxation with respect to Excluded Taxes that are not described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(a)).

(f) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and such Lender’s internal policies) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrowers, if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such Indemnifiable Taxes attributable to the Loans and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available any of its Tax Returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

2.13. Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrowers shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion for which a Notice of Loan Borrowing has been

-70-

delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Revolving Loans into LIBOR Loans or any Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing into a LIBOR Portion in accordance with a Notice of Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent, or (d) fail to continue LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion for which a Notice of Interest Period Selection has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee, failure to convert fee or fail to continue fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion had been funded in the London interbank eurodollar currency market), equal to the sum of:

(a) $250; plus

(b) the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest would have accrued on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Portions if that amount had remained or been outstanding through the last day of the applicable Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest that such Lender could recover by placing such amount on deposit in the London interbank eurodollar currency market for a period beginning on the date of the prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, if no deposit rate quotation is available for such period, for the most comparable period for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained); plus

(c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.14. Security.

(a) Security Documents. The Loans, together with all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens granted by the Borrowers under the Security Documents (or, in the case of any Real Property Security Document, the Obligations described in such Real Property Security Document and subject to any limitation specifically set forth therein). All obligations of a Guarantor under the Credit Documents shall be secured by the Liens granted by such Guarantor under the Security Documents. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Documents (a) on a pari passu and ratable basis to the extent of the associated Termination Value as set forth in Section 6.02, and (b) to the extent of any excess, with the priority relative to the other Obligations as set forth in Section 6.02. Lender Bank Products shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Documents with the priority relative to the other Obligations as set forth in Section 6.02.

-71-

(b) Further Assurances. The Borrowers shall deliver, and shall cause each Guarantor to deliver, to the Administrative Agent such mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, pledge agreements, control agreements, and other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and fixture filings) as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to:

(i) grant, perfect, maintain, protect and evidence security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any or all present and future property of the Borrowers and the Guarantors prior to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except for Permitted Liens; and

(ii) otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights provided to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Security Documents.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, enter into, and cause each depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements with respect to each deposit, securities, commodity or similar account maintained by such Person (other than any Excluded Account) as of or after the Closing Date; provided, that the parties hereto hereby agree that the Borrowers shall have ninety (90) days from the Closing Date (or such longer period of time acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to obtain each of the Control Agreements required to be obtained pursuant to this Section 2.14 for accounts existing as of the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, “Excluded Accounts” shall mean, collectively, (i) any deposit account of any Borrower or Guarantor which is used exclusively for the payment of payroll, payroll taxes, employee benefits, withholding or escrow or fiduciary deposits or deposits permitted under Sections 5.02(b)(v) or (xi) and (ii) any other deposit, securities, commodity or similar account of any Borrower or Guarantor, so long as the aggregate amount of available funds on deposit does not at any time exceed (x) $200,000 for any such account or (y) $500,000 for all such accounts.

In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor establishes a new deposit, securities, commodity or similar account that is not an Excluded Account or any existing account ceases to be an Excluded Account, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and take commercially reasonable efforts to promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time acceptable to the Administrative Agent) from the establishment of such new account or the date such existing account ceases to be an Excluded Account, as applicable, enter into a Control Agreement with respect to such account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantors will not be required (x) to obtain from any lessor any consent or estoppel or to enter into or obtain any mortgage or deed of trust with respect to any lease other than the Collateral Assignment of Leases, (y) to enter into or obtain any mortgage or deed of trust with respect to any fee interest in real property except as required under Section 5.01(k) or (z) enter into any Control Agreements except as required by this Section 2.14. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary foregoing, no Borrower or Guarantor is deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the Collateral Assignment of Leases, including, without limitation, the effectiveness thereof or the perfection of any security interests granted pursuant thereto, except the

-72-

representation and warranty that the Collateral Assignment of Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower or Guarantor.

The Borrowers shall fully cooperate with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and perform all additional acts requested by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to effect the purposes of this Section 2.14.

2.15. Replacement of the Lenders. If (a) any Lender shall become a Deteriorating Lender, (b) any Lender shall suspend its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions pursuant to Section 2.11(b) for a reason which is not applicable generally to the other Lenders, (c) any Lender shall demand any payment under Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d) for a reason which is not applicable generally to other Lenders or (d) a Lender refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to Section 8.04 requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the affected Lenders and the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification or waiver (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may replace such Lender (the “affected Lender”), or cause such affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the “replacement Lender”) satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Section 8.05(c), by having the affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the replacement Lender pursuant to Section 8.05(c); provided, however, that if the Borrowers seek to exercise such right, it must do so within one hundred eighty (180) days after it first knows of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to such right, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender for the Borrowers (it being expressly agreed that in such circumstances it is the Borrowers’ obligation to identify or locate a replacement Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Upon receipt by any affected Lender of a written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers stating that the Administrative Agent is or the Borrowers are, as applicable, exercising the replacement right set forth in this Section 2.15, such affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 2.15, participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and Section 8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the affected Lender’s Loans so sold and assigned or such other amount is agreed to by such affected Lender and such replacement Lender), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled; provided, however, that if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender solely because it refused to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver that required the consent of 100% of Lenders with Obligations directly affected thereby (which amendment, modification or waiver did not accordingly require the consent of 100% of all Lenders), the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender that are subject to the assignments required by this Section 2.15 shall include only those Loans and Commitments that constitute the Obligations directly affected by the amendment, modification or waiver to which such Non-Consenting Lender refused to provide its consent.

-73-

2.16. Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or L/C Issuer responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or L/C Issuer to receive payments under Sections 2.11(c) or 2.11(d), it will use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or L/C Issuer through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or L/C Issuer, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Sections 2.11(c) or 2.11(d) would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or L/C Issuer; provided that such Lender or L/C Issuer will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless Borrowers agree to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or L/C Issuer as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described above.

ARTICLE III. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

3.01. Initial Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the Lenders to make the Loans comprising the initial Borrowings are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth on Schedule 3.01 and receipt by the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each item listed on Schedule 3.01, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with sufficient copies for the Administrative Agent and, where noted, each Lender.

3.02. Conditions Precedent to each Credit Event. The occurrence of each Credit Event (including the initial Borrowings occurring on the Closing Date) is subject to the further conditions that:

6.02. Remedies. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g)), the Administrative Agent may or shall, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrowers, (a) terminate the Commitments, any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions and the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans, (b) declare all or a portion of the outstanding Obligations (other than in connection with Lender Rate Contracts or Lender Bank Products) payable by the Borrowers to be immediately due and payable and/or (c) require that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g), immediately and without notice, (1) the Commitments, any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions and the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans shall automatically terminate, (2) the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations shall automatically become effective, which amounts shall be immediately pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations and (3) all outstanding Obligations payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may exercise any other right, power or remedy available to it under any of the Credit Documents or otherwise by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Documents, all Cash Collateral pledged by the Borrowers as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.02(a)(ii)(H), shall first be applied to reimburse the L/C Issuer in respect of any amounts that a Lender has failed to fund under Section 2.02(c), then to the remaining L/C Obligations and then to the remaining Obligations in the manner set forth below:

The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities:

First, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, pari passu and ratably, in an amount sufficient to pay in full the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs;

Second, to the Lenders in an amount equal to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (except for Lender Rate Contracts and Lender Bank Products);

-111-

Third, pari passu and ratably, to (i) the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings and to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations on a pro rata basis in accordance with the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations (with the portion allocated to the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations to be applied first to repay the Swing Line Loans in full, second to repay the Revolving Loans in full and then to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations) and (ii) to the Lender(s) or their Affiliates to whom obligations are owed in connection with any Lender Rate Contracts to the extent of the associated Termination Values of such Lender Rate Contracts;

Fourth, to the Lenders in an amount equal to any other Obligations (other than the Obligations related to Lender Rate Contracts not paid under clause Third above and to Lender Bank Products) which are then unpaid;

Fifth, to the Lender Parties in an amount equal to any other Obligations related to Lender Rate Contracts the terms of which comply with the Credit Agreement, which are then unpaid;

Sixth, to the Lender Parties in an amount equal to any Secured Obligations related to Lender Bank Products which are then unpaid; and

Finally, upon payment in full of all of the Obligations, to the Person(s) legally entitled thereto.

No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Credit Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity.

ARTICLE VII. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT AND

RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities.

(a) Each Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or a provider of Lender Bank Products) hereby appoints and authorizes Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association hereby accepts such appointment as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent. Each Lender (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or provider of Lender Bank Products) hereby authorizes the

-112-

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Syndication Agent and Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities or any liabilities under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents and any amendments, consents, waivers or any other actions taken in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall not require the consent of the Syndication Agent or, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 8.04(e), the Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or provider of Lender Bank Products) or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or provider of Lender Bank Products). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rules. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders or in the absence of such direction, such action as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in good faith deems advisable under the circumstances.

(b) The Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(a) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder and hereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VII, Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this

-113-

Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile, e-mail or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (including any certificate, notice or other document from a Loan Party that a sale, transfer, or other disposition of Collateral is permitted by Section 5.02(c)), and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

7.03. Defaults. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including, without limitation, the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, ratably in accordance with its Proportionate Share of all Obligations and Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in

-114-

any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent, nor any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party; (b) have any duty or responsibility to disclose to or otherwise provide any Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose or otherwise provide any Lender, with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or the other Credit Documents; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer, employee or agent of any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Credit Documents, or (iv) any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

7.06. Resignation of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, if not a Lender,

-115-

shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no right to approve a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent if a Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder; provided that the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations arising hereunder from and after the end of such thirty (30) day period even if no successor has been appointed. If no such successor has been appointed, the Required Lenders shall act as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 7.06. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. In the case of the replacement of the Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent (or if there is no successor, one of the Lenders appointed by the Required Lenders that accepts such appointment) shall also simultaneously replace the then existing Administrative Agent and the then existing Administrative Agent shall be fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the then existing Administrative Agent, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” for all purposes hereunder.

7.07. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release (and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to release) any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon (A) termination of the Commitments, (B) the full Cash Collateralization of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, (C) either full Cash Collateralization of or other arrangements satisfactory to the obligees thereof in respect of Obligations under Lender Rate Contracts and Lender Bank Products and (D) the payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations payable under this Agreement and under the other Credit Documents; (ii) constituting property of the Loan Parties which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Documents; (iii)

-116-

constituting property leased to the Loan Parties under an operating lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or the Credit Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been and is not intended by the Loan Parties to be, renewed or extended; (iv) consisting of an instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (v) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by Section 8.04. In the case of clause (ii) above involving a sale of a Guarantor, the Lenders also irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release a Guarantor from the Guaranty. Upon request by the Collateral Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.07.

(c) Any and all cash collateral for the Obligations shall be released to the Borrowers, to the extent not applied to the Obligations, only if (i) the Commitments have been terminated (ii) all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of Lender Rate Contracts and Lender Bank Products) have been paid in full and are no longer outstanding, including, without limitation, any L/C Obligations or any other contingent obligations and (iii) Obligations in respect of Lender Rate Contracts and Lender Bank Products have been either fully Cash Collateralized or other arrangements satisfactory to the obligees thereof have been made; provided, however, that any cash Collateral posted by any Borrower under Sections 2.02(a), 2.02(g)(ii) or 2.03(a) shall be released if no Event of Default then exists and the situation requiring such cash Collateral no longer exists.

7.08. Performance of Conditions. For the purpose of determining fulfillment by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties of conditions precedent specified in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 only, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, and approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with each document or other matter sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required under Article III to be consented to, or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to, that Lender, unless an officer of the Administrative Agent who is responsible for the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents shall have received written notice from that Lender prior to the making of the requested Loan or the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit specifying its objection thereto and either (i) such objection shall not have been withdrawn by written notice to the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any condition to the making of a Loan, that Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent that Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Loan or Letter of Credit.

7.09. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their Individual Capacities. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Loan Party and its Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder and as though the Collateral Agent were not the Collateral Agent hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral

-117-

Agent in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the terms “Lender” or “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in its capacity as a Lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to hold a fiduciary, trust or other special relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

7.10. Collateral Matters/Lender Rate Contracts/Lender Bank Products. Each Lender on its own behalf on behalf of its Affiliates understands and agrees that counterparties to Lender Rate Contracts and providers of Lender Bank Products will have the benefits of the Collateral as set forth in the Credit Documents.

7.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.02(i), 2.02(j), 2.05, 8.02 and 8.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05, 8.02 and 8.03.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Platform. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(c) Smile West, Smile Texas and Smile East hereby appoint and constitute Smile Brands (the “Borrower Representative”) as its agent to (i) receive statements on account and all other notices from the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender and (ii) execute and deliver notices, statements and certificates to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, in each case, with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of Smile West, Smile Texas or Smile East by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by Smile West, Smile Texas or Smile East, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against Smile West, Smile Texas or Smile East (as applicable) to the same extent as if made directly by Smile West, Smile Texas or Smile East (as applicable). Any notice or certificate required or permitted hereunder to be delivered by any or all of the Borrowers (or their Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) may be delivered by the Borrower Representative (or its Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) on behalf of any or all of the Borrowers, as the case may be. The Borrowers may replace the Borrower Representative with a different Borrower from time to time upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.

8.02. Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand, whether or not any Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including syndication expenses, travel expenses, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses incurred by the

-121-

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder, due diligence, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments, waivers, consents, modifications and supplements related to the Credit Documents, (b) all reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the use of any Platform and (c) all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, (i) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from time to time and (ii) incurred after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by the Lenders, in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party). The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and in addition to any other indemnity set forth in the Credit Documents, the Borrowers agree to (a) protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands, including in respect of or for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses (collectively, “Damages”) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them (excluding Taxes (other than Taxes addressed in clause (v) of this Section), which shall be governed by Section 2.12), arising out of or relating to (i) the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or related thereto, including the making of any Loans, the funding of any Unreimbursed Amounts and any use by a Borrower of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (ii) any Environmental Damages, (iii) any claims for brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with a Borrower’s failure to conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, (iv) the use of any Platform or (v) any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Security Documents, including any penalties, claims or other losses resulting from any delay in paying such excise, sales or other similar taxes and (b) reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such Indemnitee’s investigation or defense of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall obligate the Borrowers to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any Damages to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this Section 8.03 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or

-122-

not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, the holders of a Borrower’s Equity Securities, any creditor of a Borrower or an Indemnitee and whether not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, either Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender, as applicable, shall give the Borrowers notice of the matter, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the events giving rise to such Third Party Claim, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger or such Lender may select its own counsel and the Borrowers shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, or the Borrowers may assume the defense of such Third Party claim, with legal counsel selected by the Borrowers and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger or such Lender as the case may be, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and the Borrowers shall not be liable to the Indemnitees for any legal or similar expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have the right to retain one separate counsel to represent it, and the Borrowers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such separate counsel, in the defense of any Third Party Claim that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority having authority to regulate the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, such Joint Lead Arranger’s or such Lender’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indemnitees will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Borrowers and for any other party in an action related to a Third Party Claim, and the Borrowers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such separate counsel, if, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnitees, there is a conflict of interest or other reasonable basis exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Borrowers not advisable, all at the Borrowers’ reasonable expense; provided, that any such representation is limited to matters where such conflict of interest exists. If the Borrowers choose to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Borrowers’ request) the access to and the provision to the Borrowers of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and Representatives available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. In the event an Indemnitee (or any of its officers, directors or employees) appears as a witness in any action or proceeding related to a Third Party Claim brought against the Borrowers in which an Indemnitee is not named as a defendant, the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Indemnitee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with its appearing as a witness. Any failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender to notify the Borrowers of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations under this Section 8.03, except to the extent the Borrowers shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting

-123-

from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Whether or not the Borrowers assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitees shall not admit any liability with respect to, settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the Borrowers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Borrowers assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnitee to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee and (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The obligations of the Loan Parties with respect to Environmental Damages are (1) separate and distinct from the Obligations described within the Real Property Security Documents and the Liens and security interests created in the Real Property Security Documents, and (2) may be enforced against the Loan Parties without regard to the existence of the Real Property Security Documents and independently of any action with respect to the Real Property Security Documents.

8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that:

(a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) amend the definition of “Required Lenders”, or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or to waive any rights under, or to modify any provision of, this Agreement, (ii) increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, (iii) amend this Section 8.04, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or (v) release any Guarantor must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all of the Lenders (provided that any Guarantor may be released without any Lender approval in connection with a sale or other disposition of the Equity Securities of such Guarantor that is permitted under Section 5.02(c) or (d), and provided, further, that this clause (v) shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to Section 5.02(c) or (d), which amendment, waiver or consent shall require the consent of the Required Lenders); provided, however that only the consent of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders shall be required to amend the definition of “Excess Cash Flow” (or any defined term used therein);

(b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) reduce the principal of or interest on any Loans or L/C Borrowings or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder, (ii) extend any date (including the Maturity Date) fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of a Lender (excluding mandatory prepayments required by Sections 2.06(c)(ii) – (viii)), or (iii) amend Section 2.10, must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by each Lender directly adversely affected thereby;

-124-

(c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases the Proportionate Share of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender (other than any assignment permitted under Section 8.05(c);

(d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender;

(e) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights of the Joint Lead Arrangers under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 must be in writing and signed by the Joint Lead Arrangers;

(f) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer;

(g) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent must be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent; and

(h) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent must be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent.

For the avoidance of doubt, the application of the provisions of Section 2.01(b) of the Guaranty or any similar provisions in any other Credit Document: (1) is automatic to the extent applicable, (2) is not an amendment or modification of the Guaranty or any other Credit Document and (3) does not require the consent or approval of any Person.

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent of any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on payment of a fee by the Borrowers (which may be payable only to the Lenders that consent to such matters within specified periods).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Fee Letter may only be amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof and (y) each Lender Rate Contract and agreement with respect to Lender Bank Products may only be amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the Borrowers or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at

-125-

law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 6.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 8.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10); and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall mutually agree upon new levels for the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.03 substantially consistent with the cushions above the Loan Parties’ projections that were implicit in the financial covenant levels set forth in this Agreement as of the Closing Date (provided that (i) the maximum Total Leverage Ratio will not be set above the ratio for any applicable period set forth in Section 5.03(a) and (ii) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will not be set below the ratio for any applicable period set forth in Section 5.03(b)) and all parties hereto agree to execute an amendment in order to effect such amendment in the financial covenant levels mutually agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

8.05. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document (except in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 5.02(d)) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any purported assignment or transfer by a Loan Party in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrowers, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 8.05(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the

-126-

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. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Section 8.04(a)(iv) or (v) or Section 8.04(b)(i) or (ii) but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are not paid when due (whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.10(b). The Borrowers also agree that any Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its Commitment or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer, be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, as if such Lender had not made such transfer.

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including for purposes of this Section 8.05(c), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:

(i) Each Assignee Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding;

(ii) Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Lender may make any Assignment of Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans, L/C Advances or Swing Line Loans to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate thereof or Approved Fund as to such Lender; and

(iii) Without the written consent of (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) if such Assignment would result in the Assignee Lender becoming a Revolving Lender, the L/C Issuer, and (3) if no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, each such consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, no Lender may make any Assignment to

-127-

any Assignee Lender (I) with respect to any Assignment of a Term Loan, that is less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate, (II) with respect to any Assignment of Revolving Loans or a Revolving Loan Commitment, that is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate or (III) if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), respectively (except that, in each case, a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan to zero without the written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by Section 8.05(c)(ii) above).

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note, if any, of the Assignor Lender thereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note to the order of each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note (with each new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment assumed by such Assignee Lender and each new Term Loan Note to be in the original principal amount of the Term Loan then held by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, a new Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note to the order of the Assignor Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with the new Revolving Loan Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment retained by it and the new Term Loan Note to be in the original principal amount of the Term Loan retained by it. Each such new Revolving Loan Note and Term Loan Note shall be dated the Closing Date, and each such new Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked “Replaced”. Each Assignee Lender which was not previously a Lender hereunder shall, within three (3) Business Days of becoming a Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent the applicable forms described in Section 2.12(e) as if it were a Lender but only if and to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so (it being understood that if such Lender is not legally entitled to do so but is entitled to deliver applicable forms which entitle such Lender to a reduced rate of withholding tax, it shall execute and deliver

-128-

such other forms) and such Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrowers under Section 2.15) shall not be entitled to indemnification for such Taxes under Section 2.12 greater than that to which its assignor was entitled immediately preceding such Assignment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 8.05(c) above, Wells Fargo may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Wells Fargo shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.02(c)). If Wells Fargo resigns as the Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

(d) Register. The Borrowers hereby designates the Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.05(d), to maintain a register at its address referred to in Section 8.01 (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by, and Letters of Credit of, each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan or Letter of Credit made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Agent. The ownership of such Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit prior to such recordation and all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.05(c). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to assigning or transferor Lender. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Agent in performing its duties under this Section 8.05(d).

-129-

(e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrowers a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Commitments or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto (and in any event Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect any assignment consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or upon any Lender becoming a party to this Agreement by any other means).

(f) Confidentiality. Subject to Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information relating to the Loan Parties to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender.

(g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks; Other Pledges of Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In the case of any Lender that is a Fund, such Lender may (i) assign or pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such Loans) to the trustee under any indenture to which such Lender is a party in support of its obligations to the trustee for the benefit of the applicable trust beneficiaries, or (ii) pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such Loans) to its lenders for collateral security purpose; provided, however, no such pledgee under clause (i) or (ii) shall become a Lender hereunder (by foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) unless and until it complies with the assignment provisions of this Agreement to become a Lender hereunder and has received all consents required hereunder.

(h) True Sale. All participations in the Obligations or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to provisions hereof or otherwise, are intended to be “true sales” for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140. Accordingly, the L/C Issuer or any Lender that sells or is deemed to have sold a participation in the Obligations (including any participations in Letters of Credit and/or Loans, any participations described in Section 8.05(b) above and any participations under Section 2.10(b)) (each a “Participation Seller”) hereby agrees that if such Participation Seller receives any payment in respect of the Obligations to which such participation relates through the exercise of setoff by such Participation Seller against the Borrowers or any other obligor, then such Participation Seller agrees to promptly pay to the participating party in such participation such participant’s pro rata share of such setoff (after giving effect to any sharing with the Lenders under Section 2.10(b) hereof).

(i) Additional Forms. If required by applicable Governmental Rules or otherwise deemed prudent by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender shall prepare, execute and deliver a completed Form U-1 (or Form G-3, as applicable) for each

-130-

Lender (and, if applicable, for each Participant, in which case the applicable Lender shall cause its Participant to satisfy the requirements of this Section).

8.06. Setoff; Security Interest.

(a) Setoffs By Lenders. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Borrowers, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrowers. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrowers or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrowers or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrowers or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, the Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts or moneys of a Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect to such security interest.

8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL RULES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT.

8.10. Confidentiality. None of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall disclose to any Person any Confidential Information, except that any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may disclose any such information (a) to its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents, legal counsel, accountants, auditors and other representatives and advisors (collectively, its “Representatives”) in connection with the evaluation, administration and enforcement of the Credit Documents or the development of the relationship between such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and any Loan Party (it being understood that the Representatives to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential and not to use such Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose); (b) to any other Lender, the Trade Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Collateral Agent; (c) to the extent required by Governmental Rules or in connection with any legal proceedings or otherwise requested by any governmental agency, regulatory authority (including, any self-regulatory organization claiming to have jurisdiction) or any bank examiner; provided that if such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent discloses any Confidential Information to a person pursuant to this clause (c), then such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will, to the extent not prohibited by any Governmental Rules (i) inform such person of the confidential nature of such information and (ii) notify Parent of such disclosure promptly; provided, however, that such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to inform such person or give such notification to Parent if the disclosure was made to a bank examiner, regulatory examiner or self-regulatory examiner in the course of such examiner’s examination or inspection; (d) to any Assignee Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant; provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender or Participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of (or provisions substantially similar to) this Section 8.10; or (e) otherwise with the prior consent of such Loan Party; provided, however, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit the use of any Platform as described in Section 8.01(b).

8.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes. Transmission by facsimile, “pdf” or similar electronic copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart. Any party hereto may request an original counterpart of any party delivering such electronic counterpart.

8.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States located in New York, New York and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. In addition, the Borrowers irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of any State (each a “Real Property State”) where any real property described in any Real Property Security Agreement is located and the courts of the United States located in any such Real Property State and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Real Property Security

-132-

Agreement related to real property located in a Real Property State may be brought against such party in any such courts in such Real Property State. Final judgment against any party in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of any party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any other party in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any other party in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Borrowers agree that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitutes adequate service of process in any such suit. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of New York or any Real Property State or to any court of the United States; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to post security for the costs of any party or to post a bond or to take similar action.

8.13. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; nor shall the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their property, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the operations of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Borrowers and each of their Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and neither the Borrowers nor any of their Affiliates is entitled to rely thereon.

8.14. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents.

-133-

8.15. Waiver of Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it shall not seek from any other party to this Agreement any punitive, exemplary or consequential damages under any theory of liability.

8.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

8.17. Waivers and Agreements of Borrowers. While not intended by the parties hereto, if it is determined that either Borrower is a surety of the other Borrower:

(a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.13, the covenants, agreements and obligations of each Borrower set forth herein are joint and several and shall be primary obligations of such Borrower, and such obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

(b) Each Borrower hereby waives (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral after the sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations and (ii) any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to (A) proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations or (C) pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the other Borrowers or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause to the extent permitted by law, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the other Borrowers other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Collateral Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may have against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full or required by applicable law. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers.

8.18. Clarification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties hereto understand and agree that Wells Fargo is acting in various capacities under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and therefore shall be permitted to fulfill its roles and manage its

-134-

various duties hereunder in such manner as Wells Fargo sees fit and, for the avoidance of doubt, in lieu of sending notices to itself when acting in different capacities Wells Fargo may keep internal records regarding all such communications, notices and actions related to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with its past practice.
