2.1. Loans Generally.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the last Banking Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, each Lender shall make, on a pro rata basis according to that Lender’s Percentage of the then-current Aggregate Commitment, its share of a Loan to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request that do not result in the Outstanding Facility Amount (after giving effect to all amounts requested thereunder) exceeding the Aggregate Commitment and provided that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all conditions to Advances hereunder shall have been satisfied. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Facility without premium or penalty.

(b) The obligation of each Lender to make Advances (including Swing Loan Advances) in accordance with its respective Commitments is several, and not joint and several; and no Lender shall be obligated to advance more than its respective Commitment, notwithstanding the default of any other Lender.

(c) Each Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan which shall specify the requested (i) date of such Loan (which must be a Banking Day), (ii) type of Loan, (iii) amount of such Loan, and (iv) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan, the Interest Period for such Loan.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Request for Loan, the Administrative Agent shall (by the end of business on the same day that the request was received) notify each Lender of the date and type of the Loan, the LIBOR Period or Absolute Interest Period, if applicable, and that Lender’s Percentage of the Loan, if any. Not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the date specified for any Loan (which must be a Banking Day), each Lender shall make its Percentage of the Loan in immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 8, all Advances shall be credited on that date in immediately available funds to the Designated Deposit Account.

(e) Unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, each Loan shall be not less than $1,000,000 and all Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.

(f) The Advances made by each Lender under its Commitment shall be evidenced by that Lender’s Notes.

(g) A Request for Loan shall be irrevocable upon the Administrative Agent’s first notification thereof.

(h) If no Request for Loan has been made within the requisite notice periods set forth in Section 2.2 or 2.3 prior to the end of the LIBOR Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, then on the last day of such LIBOR Period, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan in the same amount.

2.2. Base Rate Loans. Each request by Borrower for a Base Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the Banking Day immediately prior to the date of the requested Base Rate Loan. All Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 or a Competitive Bid Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.

2.3. LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) Each request by Borrower for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Banking Days before the first day of the applicable LIBOR Period.

(b) On the date which is two (2) Banking Days before the first day of the applicable LIBOR Period, the Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to Borrower and the Lenders.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, there shall be no more than ten (10) different LIBOR Periods in effect at any one time.

(d) No LIBOR Rate Loan may be requested or continued during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to fund any LIBOR Rate Advance in the London interbank market.

2.4. Competitive Bid Loans.

(a) Competitive Bid Option. In addition to ratable Advances pursuant to Section 2.1(a), but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(a) as to the maximum amount of all Loans not exceeding the Aggregate Commitment), the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.4, request the Lenders, prior to the Maturity Date, to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.4. Competitive Bid Loans shall be evidenced by the Competitive Bid Notes.

(b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.4, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by telecopy or electronic mail a Competitive Bid Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto so as to be received no later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least five Banking Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least one Banking Day prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate specifying:

(i) the proposed Borrowing Date for the proposed Competitive Bid Loan,

(ii) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Loan which must be at least $25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000,

(iii) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a Competitive LIBOR Margin or an Absolute Rate, or both,

(iv) the LIBOR Interest Period, if a Competitive LIBOR Margin is requested, or the Absolute Interest Period, if an Absolute Rate is requested, and

(v) whether or not such Competitive Bid Loan may be prepaid at the Borrower’s option prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, if so, whether partial prepayments will be permitted and whether any minimum amount or increments in excess of such minimum will apply to such prepayments.

The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request, but in no event shall there be more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for Competitive Bid Loans in existence at any time. Not more than two (2) Competitive Bid Quote Requests shall be given within any period of 30 days. A Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto shall be rejected, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection by telecopy or electronic mail.

(c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly and in any event before the close of business on the same Banking Day of receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request that is not rejected pursuant to Section 2.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall send to each of the Lenders by telecopy or electronic mail an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes.

(i) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes (each such offer, an “Offer”). Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this Section 2.4(d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or telecopy or electronic mail at its offices not later than (a) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three Banking Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (b) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and rate as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent may only be submitted if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the terms of the Offer or Offers contained therein no later than 60 minutes prior to the latest time at which the relevant Competitive Bid Quotes must be submitted by the other Lenders. Subject to the Borrower’s compliance with all other conditions to disbursement herein, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto and shall in any case specify:

(1) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes,

(2) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (x) may be greater than, less than or equal to the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (y) must be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers are requested,

(3) as applicable, the Competitive LIBOR Margin and Absolute Rate offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan,

(4) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan which may be accepted by the Borrower, and

(5) the identity of the quoting Lender, provided that such Competitive Bid Loan may be funded by such Lender’s Designated Lender as provided in Section 2.4(i), regardless of whether that is specified in the Competitive Bid Quote.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that:

(1) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto or does not specify all of the information required by Section 2.4(d)(ii),

(2) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other than any such language contained in Exhibit C-3 hereto,

(3) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or

(4) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.4(d)(i).

If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(iii), then the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as practical.

(e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.4(d) and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request and the respective principal amounts and Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered.

(f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three Banking Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers of which it has been notified pursuant to Section 2.4(e); provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of Section 2.4(d)(iii)); provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans to be disbursed on a given Borrowing Date may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,

(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and

(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.4(d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers provided, however, that no Lender shall be allocated any Competitive Bid Loan which is less than the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event on the same Banking Day, notify each Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice and the principal amounts of the Competitive Bid Loans allocated to each participating Lender.

(h) Other Terms. Any Competitive Bid Loan shall not reduce the Commitment of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan, and each such Lender shall continue to be obligated to fund its full Percentage of all pro rata Advances under the Facility. In no event can the aggregate amount of all Competitive Bid Loans at any time exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then current Aggregate Commitment. Unless expressly specified to the contrary in the Competitive Loan Bid Request, a Competitive Bid Loan shall not be prepaid prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period. Competitive Bid Loans may not be continued and, if not repaid at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, shall (subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) be replaced by new Competitive Bid Loans made in accordance with this Section 2.4 or by ratable Advances in accordance with Section 2.1(a).

(i) Designated Lenders. A Lender may designate its Designated Lender to fund a Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf as described in Section 2.4(d)(ii)(5). Any Designated Lender which funds a Competitive Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time such Competitive Bid Loan is funded.

2.5. Swing Loan Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is thirty (30) Banking Days prior to the Maturity Date upon notice by Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this Section 2.5 such sums as are requested by Borrower that do not result in (i) an aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans at any one time outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested thereunder) being in excess of the Swing Loan Commitment, or (ii) the Outstanding Facility Amount (after giving effect to all Swing Loans requested thereunder) being in excess of the Aggregate Commitment. Swing Loans shall constitute “Loans” for all purposes hereunder, but shall not be considered the utilization of a Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied on the date of such funding (other than advance notice requirements).

(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in such amount as may be outstanding from time to time thereunder and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.

(c) Each borrowing of a Swing Loan shall be subject to the limits for Base Rate Loans set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Request for Loan no later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan. Each such Request for Loan shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the requested date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall bear interest at the One Day LIBOR Rate. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be made available by the Swing Loan Lender to Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Office (on the same Banking Day that the Request for Loan was received, if received prior to the deadline stated above on such day) by crediting the account of Borrower at such office with such proceeds.

(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall within five (5) Banking Days after the date a Swing Loan is made, request each Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) shall be considered a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Unless any of the events described in Section 9.1(j) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.5(e) shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than the next Banking Day after the date such notice is given just as if the Lenders were funding a Base Rate Loan directly to Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Notes. The proceeds of such Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.

(e) If prior to the making of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(d) by all of the Lenders, one of the events described in Section 9.1(j) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan as provided in Section 2.5(d) or to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance (except only the failure of the Swing Loan Lender to make the request described in Section 2.5(d)), including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by any Lender; (v) the failure to satisfy all of the conditions to disbursement set forth in Article 8; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding or purchase by a Lender under the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a waiver of any claim that a Lender may otherwise have against the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of Section 2.9 shall apply to any Lender which fails or refuses to make a Loan or fund its participation as provided herein. Each Swing Loan, once so converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Loan made by each Lender under its Commitment.

2.6. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is thirty (30) Banking Days prior to the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that takes over such position from KeyBank in accordance with the terms hereof) shall issue such Letters of Credit as Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Exposure shall not exceed $75,000,000, (ii) the Outstanding Facility Amount (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested thereunder) shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (iv) the conditions set forth in Article 8 shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed the lesser of

twelve (12) months or a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the Banking Day which is immediately prior to the Maturity Date, provided that any such Letter of Credit may contain an automatic extension or renewal clause, so long as the final expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall not be later than the Banking Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the final expiration date of a Letter of Credit may extend beyond the Maturity Date but not in any event more than twelve (12) months beyond the Maturity Date if Borrower agrees in writing in the application for such a Letter of Credit to deposit, and thereafter does deposit, 100% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit into the cash collateral account described in Section 9.1 below not later than the first to occur of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of any earlier termination of the Aggregate Commitment hereunder. The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Commitments as a Loan.

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Banking Days prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used and (ii) a certification by a Responsible Official of Borrower that Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Borrower shall further deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional applications and documents as the Administrative Agent may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, if it approves of the content of the Letter of Credit Request (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such issuance and shall provide copies of each Letter of Credit Request and the corresponding Letter of Credit to any Lender which requests same.

(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit upon the Agreement Effective Date, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to its respective Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that no Lender shall be obligated to transfer funds in such amount to the Administrative Agent at such time.

(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for its own account, an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis, payable by Borrower on the issuance of each such Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof, plus all reasonable out of pocket costs and the Administrative Agent’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing such Letter of Credit and processing draws thereunder, and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages in such Letter of

Credit, a “Letter of Credit Fee” calculated at the rate of the Applicable Margin per annum in effect from time to time with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans on the face amount of such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the issuance date of such Letter of Credit to its expiration or termination date. The Letter of Credit Fee payable to the Lenders shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable quarterly in arrears as of the first day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first calendar quarter following the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit) and on the Maturity Date. Following its receipt of any such Letter of Credit Fee, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender its pro rata share of such Letter of Credit Fee.

(f) If and to the extent that any amounts are drawn upon any Letter of Credit, the amounts so drawn shall, from the date of payment thereof by the Administrative Agent to either the date of reimbursement thereof by Borrower or repayment through a borrowing by Borrower of a Loan, bear interest at the Base Rate. Upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any draw or other presentation for payment of a Letter of Credit and the payment by the Administrative Agent of any amount under a Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by Borrower within twenty four (24) hours of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such draw, the Administrative Agent shall, without further notice to or the consent of Borrower, direct the Lenders to fund to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.9 on or before 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the next Banking Day following Borrower’s failure to reimburse the Administrative Agent, their respective Percentage of the amount so paid by the Administrative Agent as a Loan. The proceeds of such funding shall be paid to the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit and shall thereafter be evidenced by the Line Notes. The provisions of Section 2.9 shall apply to any Lender or Lenders failing or refusing to fund its Percentage of any such draw. The Lenders shall be required to make such Loans regardless of whether all of the conditions to disbursement set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied, provided that the making of such Loans shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any claim that a Lender may otherwise have against the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) If, following a draw under any Letter of Credit, but prior to the making of a Loan with respect thereto under Section 2.6(f) above, one of the events described in Section 9.1(j) shall have occurred, each Lender will promptly pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds its Percentage of the amount drawn under such Letter of Credit, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount funded by such Lender. The provisions of Section 2.9 shall apply to any Lender which fails or refuses to fund its participation as provided herein.

(h) Whenever at any time after the Administrative Agent has received from any Lender such Lender’s payment of funds for its participating interest under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment (or portion thereof) received by the Administrative Agent is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Administrative Agent any pro rata portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent to it.

(i) Unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit shall be in an amount of not less than $100,000.

(j) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(k) The obligations of Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Borrower may have or have had against the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (except such as may arise out of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including, without limitation, any setoff, counterclaim or defense based upon or arising out of the following circumstances: (i) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or any right which Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) any breach of any agreement between any Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (v) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) payment by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent.

2.7. Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate Commitment. Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least three (3) Banking Days’ prior written notice by a Responsible Official of Borrower to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiples of $1,000,000 but not less than $5,000,000, or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of the Aggregate Commitment; provided that in no event shall the Aggregate Commitment be reduced to an amount less than $100,000,000 (unless terminated in its entirety). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitment under this Section. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of the Aggregate Commitment. Upon any such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Swing Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent may each elect, at its option, to reduce the Swing Loan Commitment or the maximum amount of Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 2.6(a), as the case may be, by the same percentage as the percentage reduction in the Aggregate Commitment.

2.8. Increase in Aggregate Commitment. At any time after the Closing Date of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (which discretion shall not be arbitrarily or unreasonably exercised contrary to the request of Borrower so long as the conditions set forth below are satisfied), without the consent of the Lenders (except as specified in this Section 2.8), from time to time at the request of Borrower, increase the Aggregate Commitment by (i) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each a “Subsequent Lender”), or (ii) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”), subject to the following conditions:

(i) each Subsequent Lender is an Eligible Assignee;

(ii) Borrower executes (A) a new Line Note and Competitive Bid Note payable to the order of a Subsequent Lender in the amount of its Commitment, or (B) a replacement Line Note payable to the order of an Increasing Lender in the amount of its new, increased Commitment;

(iii) each Subsequent Lender executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent a signature page to this Agreement, and each Increasing Lender executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent a new signature page to this Agreement reflecting its increased Commitment;

(iv) after giving effect to the admission of any Subsequent Lender or the increase in the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $1,250,000,000;

(v) no Event of Default exists; and

(vi) no Lender shall be an Increasing Lender without the written consent of such Lender, which consent such Lender may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

After the admission of any Subsequent Lender or increase in the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to Borrower copies of the signature pages of such Subsequent Lender or Increasing Lender, and a statement of the current Aggregate Commitment and related Percentage of each Lender (which may be in the form of a revised Schedule 1.1).

2.9. Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Funds Available for Loans. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time on the Banking Day of the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the total amount of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender plus an administrative fee of $200. If such Lender does

not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount (but not the administrative fee) to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) from such Lender, the daily Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) from Borrower, at the applicable rate for such Loan. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.10. Extension of Line Facility Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the one time right and option to extend the Maturity Date to July 13, 2016 (which is the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date) upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of such extension of the Maturity Date:

(a) Extension Request. Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Administrative Agent not earlier than one hundred fifty (150) days and not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the initial Maturity Date.

(b) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, at the time of the Extension Request, for the benefit of the Lenders, an extension fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then-current Aggregate Commitment. Following its receipt of the Extension Fee, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender its pro rata share of such Extension Fee.

(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the initial Maturity Date there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

(d) Representations and Warranties. On the date of such Extension Request Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Certificate of a Responsible Official signed by a Senior Officer on behalf of Borrower stating that the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 (other than (i) representations and warranties which expressly speak as of a particular date or are no longer true and correct as a result of a change which is not in violation of this Agreement and (ii) as otherwise disclosed by Borrower and approved in writing by the Requisite Lenders) will be true and correct in all material respects, both immediately before and after giving effect to the Extension Request, as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of that date.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS AND FEES

3.1. Principal and Interest.

(a) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set forth or provided for herein before and after Default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue interest at the Default Rate in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Interest on Competitive Bid Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans shall be computed on a 360 day year, and actual days elapsed. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, and actual days elapsed.

(b) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date or at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6, the unpaid principal amount of any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate.

(c) Interest accrued on each Competitive Bid Loan and each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date or at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6, the unpaid principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable LIBOR Period and the unpaid principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either the Competitive LIBOR Rate or the Absolute Rate, as the case may be, for the applicable Interest Period.

(d) In the event that any additional interest becomes due and payable for any period with respect to a Loan, or any additional Facility Fee becomes due and payable for any period, as a result of the Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Percentage being changed due to any change in the Guarantor’s Credit Rating, and the interest or Facility Fee for such period has previously been paid by Borrower, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the amount of such increase within ten (10) days of demand.

(e) If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be payable on the Maturity Date, provided that if any Letter of Credit Exposure is then outstanding, Borrower shall make a deposit to the cash collateral account described in Section 9.2(e) to the extent of the then-current Letter of Credit Exposure. Nothing herein shall require Borrower to make any mandatory principal payment on account of the receipt of the proceeds of any Debt Offering or Equity Offering.

(f) The Notes may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under this Section, (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by noon, Cleveland time on the date of prepayment (which must be a Banking Day) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan, three (3) Banking Days before the date of prepayment, which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to Section 3.5(d) and (iv) upon any partial prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan that reduces it below $1,000,000, the remaining portion thereof shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. Unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary in the applicable Competitive Bid Quote Request, a Competitive Bid Loan may not be paid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, provided, however, that if a Competitive Bid Loan becomes due prior to its stated maturity due to acceleration of the Obligations, then payment of such Competitive Bid Loan shall be accompanied by any amount due pursuant to Section 3.5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

3.2. Other Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit issuance fee described above and the Facility Fees described below, Borrower shall pay to KeyBank, KeyBank Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC each of the other fees specified in the Fee Letter as and when due in accordance therewith.

3.3. Facility Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis by multiplying (i) the Facility Fee Percentage in effect on such day, expressed as a per diem rate, times (ii) the Aggregate Commitment in effect on such day. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Banking Day of each calendar quarter (for the prior calendar quarter) and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety. Following its receipt of any such Facility Fee, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender an aggregate amount equal to the sum of such Lender’s applicable Percentage of the daily amount of such Facility Fee, based on such Lender’s Commitment on such day. The Facility Fee shall be computed on a 360 day year, and actual days elapsed.

3.4. Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender’s or such corporation’s failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten (10) Banking Days after demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days preceding the date of such demand. Each Lender’s determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case under this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a “change” under this Section 3.4 and shall entitle the Lenders to recover the amounts described in this Section 3.4, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

3.5. LIBOR Costs and Related Matters.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance:

(i) shall subject any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption;

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the London interbank market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans, its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advance or in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, then, within five (5) Banking Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Rate Advance in the London interbank market), provided, that with respect to any additional amount arising as a result of the occurrence of an event described in clause (i) above, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (1) the last day of the LIBOR Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Rate Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.5(d). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above (or those set forth in clause (d) below), to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special LIBOR Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

(c) If, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan:

(i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the London interbank market for the applicable LIBOR Period; or

(ii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market in the relevant amount for the applicable LIBOR Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable LIBOR Rate Advances;

then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended.

(d) Except for a failure caused by any Lender’s default, Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss or expense that the Lenders may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Competitive LIBOR Margin Competitive Bid Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans) as a consequence of (i) any failure of Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder, (ii) any failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert, to the extent applicable, a Competitive LIBOR Margin Competitive Bid Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (iii) any failure to fulfill on the scheduled commencement date of any Interest Period hereunder the applicable conditions set forth herein as prerequisites to an Advance that is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive LIBOR Margin Competitive Bid Loan or to the election of an Absolute Rate, a Competitive LIBOR Margin or a LIBOR Rate, (iv) any failure to borrow hereunder after a request for a LIBOR Rate Loan has been given, (v) any payment or prepayment permitted or mandated hereunder of a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan on a date other than the last day of the relevant Interest Period, including without limitation upon acceleration following an Event of Default, unless otherwise provided in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request and related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan, or (vi) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including but not limited to any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, such loss or expense shall conclusively be deemed to include a “Breakage Fee” (as defined below). The term “Breakage Fee” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of $200 or the financial loss incurred by the Lenders resulting from prepayment or failure to borrow, calculated by the Administrative Agent as the difference between the amount of interest the Lenders would have earned (from like investments in the Money Markets (as hereinafter defined) as of the first day of the applicable Interest Period) had prepayment or failure to borrow not occurred and the interest the Lenders would actually earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment or failure to borrow) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment or failure to borrow. Borrower agrees that the Breakage Fee shall not be discounted to its present value. Any voluntary prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan shall be in an amount to be agreed upon between Borrower and Administrative Agent, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, or in such amount as was proposed by Borrower in the applicable Competitive Bid Quote Request pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(v) and agreed to by the applicable Competitive Bid Lender in its related Competitive Bid Quote, with respect to any Competitive Bid Loan. The term “Money Markets” refers to one or more wholesale funding markets available to Lenders, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, Eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds and others. The Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer of the Administrative Agent, explaining any such loss or expense and setting forth the computation of the Breakage Fee pursuant to the preceding provisions which, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower.

(e) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.5, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender.

3.6. Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) at all times equal to (i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the case of any other amount, the sum of the Base Rate plus 3%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon demand. In addition, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

3.7. Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest at the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

3.8. Non Banking Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a payment relating to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Competitive Bid Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day, and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

3.9. Manner and Treatment of Payments.

(a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of each of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. All payments shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Each payment or prepayment made when no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing shall be applied first to Swing Loans until paid in full, then to Base Rate Loans until paid in full, then, at Borrower’s option, either to LIBOR Rate Loans or to Competitive Bid Loans or any combination thereof until all LIBOR Rate Loans and Competitive Bid Loans are paid in full. Any payment or prepayment made when an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing shall be applied first to Swing Loans until paid in full, then to all other Advances then outstanding on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Lender’s Funded Percentage of the aggregate amount of Advances then outstanding. Each payment or prepayment on account of any such Base Rate Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive Bid Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender comprising such Loan.

(c) Each Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to Section 10.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

(d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by any Lender’s overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income tax, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which any Lender has failed, for whatever reason, timely to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption (all such non excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net after Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding.

3.10. Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

3.11. Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.6), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.6), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

3.12. Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

3.13. Calculations Detail. The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, within a reasonable period of time after request by Borrower.

3.14. Survivability. The provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive following the date on which the Commitments and all Letters of Credit are terminated and all Loans and Obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit hereunder are fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower.

Each of Borrower and Guarantor is duly qualified or registered to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Projects makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure so to qualify or register and to be in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower and Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease its Projects and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a Party and to perform its Obligations. All

outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no holder thereof has any enforceable right of rescission under any applicable state or federal securities Laws. To Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Borrower and Guarantor is in compliance with all Laws and other legal requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure so to comply, obtain authorizations, etc., file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

and neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in violation of, or default under, any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit agreement described in Section 4.2(e), in any respect that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. No Governmental Approvals Required. Except as previously obtained or made, and except for consents, approvals or permits pertaining to construction or development of a type that are routinely granted and that would not normally be obtained before the commencement of performance and which Borrower has no reason to believe will not be obtained as and when required, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Agency is or will be required to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution, delivery and performance by each of Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party.

As of the Closing Date, no circumstance or event has occurred that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7. [Intentionally Omitted.]

4.8. Intangible Assets. Borrower and Guarantor own, or possess the right to use to the extent necessary in their respective businesses, all material trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, computer software, licenses and other Intangible Assets that are used in the conduct of their businesses as now operated, and no such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that such conflict constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9. [Intentionally Omitted.]

Schedule 4.10, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending as to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries have been served or have received notice or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Project of any of them before any Governmental Agency, mediator or arbitrator. As of the Closing Date, there are no judgments outstanding against or affecting the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Project individually or in the aggregate involving amounts in excess of $50,000,000.

4.11. Binding Obligations. Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower or Guarantor is a Party will, when executed and delivered by Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable against Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.

4.12. No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing that is a Default or Event of Default.

(iii) no “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, but excluding such events as to which the PBGC has by regulation waived the requirement therein contained that it be notified within thirty days of the occurrence of such event) has occurred that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect; and

(iv) neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any nonexempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that would constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

4.15. Disclosure. No written statement made by a Senior Officer to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement, or in connection with any Loan, as of the date thereof contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted a material fact necessary to make the statement made not misleading in light of all the circumstances existing at the date the statement was made.

4.16. Tax Liability. Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes with respect to the periods, Project or transactions covered by said returns, or pursuant to any assessment received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except (a) such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been established and maintained, (b) immaterial taxes so long as no material Project of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited and (c) certain tax returns of the Borrower and Guarantor and their Subsidiaries are on extension.

Except as described in Schedule 4.17, as of the Closing Date (a) neither Borrower, nor to the best knowledge of Borrower, Guarantor or other Person at any time has disposed of, discharged, released or threatened the release of any Hazardous Materials on, from or under the Projects in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law that would individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (b) to the best knowledge of Borrower, no condition exists that violates any Hazardous Material Law affecting any Projects except for such violations that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (c) no Projects or any portion thereof is or has been utilized by Borrower nor, to the best knowledge of Borrower, Guarantor or other Person as a site for the manufacture of any Hazardous Materials, (d) to the extent that any Hazardous Materials are used, generated or stored by Borrower or Guarantor or other Person on any Project, or transported to or from such Project by Borrower or Guarantor or other Persons, such use, generation, storage and transportation by Borrower and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, by Guarantor or other Person are in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws except for such non compliance that would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect or be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders, and (e) no Project is subject to any remediation, removal, containment or similar action conducted by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor or other Person except for such remediation, removal or containment or similar action that would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect or be materially adverse to the interest of the Lenders.

4.18. [Intentionally Omitted].

4.19. Projects. All of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ Projects are in good repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, other than with respect to (i) deferred maintenance existing as of the date of acquisition of such Project as permitted in this Section 4.19, (ii) Projects currently under development, (iii) defects relating to Projects which would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) casualty and condemnation. Borrower and Guarantor further have completed or caused to be completed an appropriate investigation of the environmental condition of each such Project as of the later of (a) the approximate date of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s purchase thereof or (b) the approximate date upon which such Project was last security for Indebtedness of Borrower, Guarantor or such Subsidiary if such financing was not closed on or about the date of the

acquisition of such Project to the extent such an investigation was required by the applicable lender, including preparation of a “Phase I” report and, if appropriate, a “Phase II” report, in each case prepared by a recognized environmental consultant in accordance with customary standards which discloses that such Project is not in violation of the representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement, unless such violation as to Unencumbered Projects has been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and satisfactory remediation actions are being taken. There are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any Unencumbered Project, and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened by any taking authority which individually or in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Project of Borrower or Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged or injured as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Effect. The Projects owned by Parent, Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, are set forth on Schedule 4.19 hereto.

4.20. Brokers. None of Borrower, Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.

4.21. Other Debt. None of Borrower or Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries is in default (after expiration of all applicable grace and cure periods) in the payment of any other Indebtedness or under any mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement or indenture involving Indebtedness of $25,000,000 or more or under any other material agreement or lease to which any of them is a party.

4.22. Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all of the Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither Borrower nor Guarantor (taken on a consolidated basis) is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities (taken on a consolidated basis), each of Borrower and Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and each of Borrower and Guarantor has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

4.23. No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by Guarantor with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

4.24. Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Guarantor; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of Borrower and Guarantor. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of Borrower and Guarantor to be jointly and severally liable as co Loan obligor for the Loan, Borrower and Guarantor would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable Borrower and Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

4.25. No Bankruptcy Filing. None of Borrower and Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its Property, and neither of Borrower and Guarantor has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any Subsidiary.

4.26. OFAC Representation. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor is not, and shall not be at any time, a person with whom the Lenders are restricted from doing business under the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of Treasury of the United States of America (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to provide (and cause the Guarantor to provide) to the Administrative Agent any information that the Administrative Agent deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable Laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to Borrower’s and Guarantor’s or such Subsidiaries’ normal business operations.

5.15. More Restrictive Agreements. Promptly notify the Administrative Agent should Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Borrower and Guarantor enter into or modify any agreements or documents pertaining to any existing or future Indebtedness, Debt Offering or issuance of Preferred Equity, which agreements or documents include covenants, whether affirmative or negative, which are individually or in the aggregate more restrictive as to the matters covered by the definitions of the term “Total Unencumbered Asset Value”, or the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.5 through 6.13, inclusive (or any other provisions which may have the same practical effect as any of the foregoing) against any of Borrower and Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries than those set forth herein.

(e) any other Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to impair the ability to place mortgage financing on the Project encumbered by such Liens or otherwise constitute a Material Adverse Effect or subject such Project to a material impending risk of loss of forfeiture or a material loss of value; and

(a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j):

(i) the commitments to make Advances and Swing Loans and to issue Letters of Credit and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 12.1) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances and Swing Loans and to issue Letters of Credit, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; and

(ii) the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j):

(i) the commitments to make Advances and Swing Loans and to issue Letters of Credit and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 12.1) may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances and Swing Loans and to issue Letters of Credit, which determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; and

(ii) the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, all without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and Guarantor and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

(d) The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent and of the Lenders, then to the repayment of Swing Loans, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of interest and principal (in that order) due on Swing Loans, third, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and fourth, pari passu to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents and to the payment of any termination payments due from Borrower in respect of Swap Agreements. No application of payments under this clause (d) will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

(e) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default, or to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or Section 3.1 above, Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure (or that portion thereof required under Section 2.6(a)) at such time. Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders under the Facility, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all obligations of Borrower in respect of such Letters of Credit under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders under the Facility, such further documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral account. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any Notes. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all obligations under the Letters of Credit shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to Borrower. In addition, at any time that amounts are being held in such cash collateral account and the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Facility Amount, the balance in such cash collateral account, to the extent of any such excess of the Aggregate Commitment over the Outstanding Facility Amount, shall be returned to Borrower promptly after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written request from Borrower.

ARTICLE 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1. Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 10.8, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the contractual representative on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.

10.2. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” includes KeyBank in its individual capacity. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as the Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, other than as required of any Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary or agency 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. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall apply equally to any other agents named herein.

10.3. Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of collateral (if any) or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Administrative Agent’s interest in such collateral (if any) or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders.

10.4. Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

10.5. Action by Administrative Agent.

(a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default (other than the failure to make a payment of principal or interest when due) has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

(b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

(c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to comply with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.1) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.

(d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in clause (a) or has actual knowledge of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders and shall comply with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.1), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 12.1) fail, for five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

10.6. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

(a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Lender;

(b) May consult with legal counsel (including in house legal counsel), accountants (including in house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for the Consolidated Group or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts;

(c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents;

(d) Shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or Guarantor of any of the terms, conditions (except to ascertain that documents facially responsive to the requirements of Article 8 have been delivered) or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or any Property, books or records of the Borrower and Guarantor;

(e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any collateral;

(f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;

(g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or payable by Borrower or Guarantor or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower and/or Guarantor shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred; and

(h) Have not made nor do they now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Consolidated Group, the value of their respective assets or the collectability of the Loans.

10.7. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage of the aggregate Commitments (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in accordance with its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes and Letter of Credit Exposure (if the Commitments have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as the Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Percentage of any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or Guarantor is required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or Guarantor. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or Guarantor, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such amount.

10.8. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective not earlier than thirty (30) days after such notice, upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent. The Requisite Lenders or all other Lenders other than the Administrative Agent may (with the prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of Parent, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) remove the Administrative Agent from its capacity as Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. If the Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall require approval by Parent so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of Parent, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10, and Sections 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Administrative Agent has not been paid its administrative agency fees under the Fee Letter or has not been reimbursed for any expense reimbursable to it under Section 11.3, in either case for a period of at least one (1) year and (b) no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, the Requisite Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States; provided that, without the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Requisite Lenders shall not be permitted to select a successor that is not a U.S. financial institution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A). If no such successor shall have been appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Requisite Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date and the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent shall inure to and be performed by the Requisite Lenders pending such appointment and acceptance.

10.9. No Obligations of Borrower. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.

10.10. Agents. Neither the Co-Lead Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent as shown on the cover of this Agreement have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights or obligations, if any, as a Lender.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1. Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.

11.2. [Intentionally Omitted.]

11.3. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration and interpretation of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof. Following and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out of pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any

bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any member of the Consolidated Group. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by any Lender’s overall net income imposed on such Lender (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is “doing business” or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which any Lender has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.

11.4. Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group. A default by any Lender will not increase the Percentage of the Commitments attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (which will not include the payment of money) either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace such a Lender in default. A defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to vote on any matter presented to the Lenders shall be suspended during the pendency of such Lender’s default.

11.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

11.6. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered (provided that if any such communication is received after normal business hours or on a day that is not a Banking Day, it shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day following receipt). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given to them by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person on each notice purportedly given by Borrower, except to the extent of such Person’s gross negligence.

11.7. Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

11.8. Binding Effect; Assignment; Replacement.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower and Guarantor are a party are and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower and Guarantor may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

(b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Commitment; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall require approval by the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) by Borrower (provided that (i) neither of such approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) Borrower’s approval may be deemed given under certain circumstances as set forth below), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitments of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a share of the Commitments that is equivalent to less than $10,000,000, (iv) the assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five (5) Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the approval of Borrower to a proposed assignment under the preceding sentence, Borrower shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Banking Days after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If Borrower does not so respond to the Administrative Agent within such period, the Administrative Agent may issue a second request in writing to Borrower for such approval, which shall include in the heading a notice in capital letters that such request is a second request and that Borrower’s approval shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received by the Administrative Agent within five (5) Banking Days after such second request. If Borrower fails to so respond to such second request within such period of five (5) Banking Days, Borrower shall be deemed to have approved the proposed assignment. Upon the effective date of such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with a Percentage and Commitment as therein (and herein, if such Eligible Assignee was already a Lender) set forth and, to the extent of the portion of the Commitments assigned, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s Commitment, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining balance of such Lender’s Commitment.

(c) By executing and delivering a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Administrative Agent and the assigning Lender has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Assigning Lender has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower and Guarantor or the performance by Borrower and Guarantor of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitments Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Percentage and Commitment amounts held by each Lender, giving effect to each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Commitment Assignment and Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee and the Notes subject to such assignment, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, upon the request of any party, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1 giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitments shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of such Commitments.

(e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Lender but excluding an Employee Plan) in a portion of its Commitments; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 11.11 and 11.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Commitment as they then exist and shall not afford such participant any rights or privileges under the Loan Documents except as provided in clause (iii) above.

(f) Within thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by Administrative Agent of notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 3.4 or Section 3.5(a) or Section 3.5(b), which demand shall not have been revoked, (ii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Agency for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.9(d), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have been cured or waived; or (iv) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Requisite Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender, or each Lender affected thereby, is required with respect thereto, (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being an “Affected Lender”) Borrower may, at its option, notify such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent of Borrower’s intention to obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and, in the event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender described in the preceding clause (iv), such Replacement Lender consents to the requested amendment, waiver or modification making the replaced Lender an Affected Lender. In the event Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Loans and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.8(b); provided, that (A) Borrower shall have, as applicable, reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under any of Section 3.4, Section 3.5(a) or Section 3.5(b), as applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment, and (B) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the $3,500 assignment fee in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 11.8(b) within five (5) Banking Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 11.8(f) and presentation to such replaced Lender of a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 11.8(f), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, and any such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance executed by Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.8(b), Borrower, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 11.8(f) and Section 11.8(b). The removal of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 11.8(f) or pursuant to Section 11.28(e) shall not preclude Borrower from pursuing all remedies available to it against such Defaulting Lender for damages arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s breach hereof.

11.9. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders and subject to the provisions of Section 11.10) may exercise its rights, if any, under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. any and all rights to require administrative agent or any Lender to exercise its rights or remedies with respect to any other collateral which secures the loan (if any), prior to exercising its right of setoff with respect to such deposits, credits, or other property of borrowers, are hereby, knowingly, voluntarily, and irrevocably waived.

11.10. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, or through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest (unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest). Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 11.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

11.11. Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers and each Lender and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.9(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, the other members of the Consolidated Group or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity,

applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.11 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

11.12. Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower or Guarantor made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower and Guarantor are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

(c) The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other member of the

Consolidated Group; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group; Borrower and such other members shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or any other member of the Consolidated Group, and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

11.13. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans and Letters of Credit, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8, 11.11 and 11.22 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

11.14. Confidentiality.

(a) Confidentiality. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Party”) hereby agrees for itself only that, except as specifically set forth herein, such Lender Party (i) shall not participate in or generate any press release or other release of information to the general public relating to the closing of the Loan without the prior written consent of Borrower, (ii) shall hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence in accordance with such Lender Party’s customary procedures to prevent the misuse or disclosure of confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, (iii) shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes of underwriting the Loan or acquiring an interest therein, carrying out such Lender Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, in connection with the syndication of the Loan, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal examination, supervision or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably determined by such Lender Party, or as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Section 11.14 (collectively, “Permitted Purposes”), and (iv) shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or with prior written consent of Borrower. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify Borrower in the event that it becomes aware of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information.

Each Lender Party shall not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to a specific portion of the Confidential Information if such Lender Party can demonstrate that such Confidential Information (i) was publicly available at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, (ii) became publicly available subsequent to the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party (except to the extent such public availability was the result of such Lender Party’s disclosure), (iii) was in or comes into a Lender Party’s possession from a source not known to such Lender Party (after reasonable inquiry) to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower in making such disclosure to such Lender Party, (iv) was in or comes into Lender Party’s possession free of any obligation of confidence owed to Borrower at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, or (v) was developed by the employees or agents of the Lender Party without the use of the Confidential Information.

(b) Disclosures. Any Lender Party or its legal counsel may disclose the Confidential Information (i) to Borrower, other Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective legal counsel, (ii) to its auditors in connection with bank audits or regulatory officials having jurisdiction over such Lender Party, (iii) to its legal counsel who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of representing or advising the Lender Parties, (iv) to its consultants, agents and advisors retained in good faith by such Lender Party with a need to know such information in connection with a Permitted Purpose or to otherwise advise or consult with such Lender Party, (v) as required by Law or legal process (subject to the terms below), or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender Party and Guarantor are adverse parties (and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), each Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and Guarantor in accordance with the Act), (vi) to another potential Lender or participant in connection with an assignment or proposed assignment to that Person of all or part of that Lender Party’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, and (vii) to its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of underwriting the Loan or becoming a party to this Agreement, the syndication of the Loan, the administration, interpretation, performance or exercise of rights under the Loan Documents, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal supervision, examination or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably determined by such Lender Party, provided that any Person to whom any of the Confidential Information is disclosed is informed by such Lender Party of the strictly confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and such Persons described in clauses (b)(iv) and (vi) shall agree in writing to be bound by confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such Lender Party is requested or required by any Law or any order of any Governmental Agency or self regulatory body or other legal process to make any disclosure of or about any of the Confidential Information. In such event (except with respect to banking regulators or auditors), such Lender Party shall, if permitted by Law, promptly notify Borrower in writing so that Borrower may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (provided that if a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or if prior notice is not possible, and a Lender Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such Lender Party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which its counsel advises it that such Lender Party is compelled to disclose, and provided further that in any event, such Lender Party will not oppose action by Borrower to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.) Each Lender Party shall be liable (but only to the extent it is finally determined to have breached the provisions of this Section 11.14(b)) for any actions by such Lender Party (but not any other Person) which are not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.14(b).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) No Rights in Confidential Information. The Administrative Agent and each Lender recognizes and agrees that nothing contained in this Section 11.14 shall be construed as granting any property rights, by license or otherwise, to any Confidential Information (other than the Agreement or any amendments thereto or any related agreements), or to any invention or any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right that has issued or that may issue, based on such Confidential Information (other than the Agreement or any amendments thereto or any related agreements). No Lender Party shall make, have made, use or sell for any purpose any product or other item using, incorporating or derived from any such Confidential Information; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any way the creation, use or sale of banking or related services by any Lender Party.

(d) Survival. All Confidential Information provided by or on behalf of Borrower during the term of this Agreement or any predecessor agreements shall remain confidential indefinitely and shall continue to receive that level of confidential treatment customarily provided by commercial banks dealing with confidential information of their borrower customers, subject, however, to the specific exceptions to confidential treatment provided herein. For a period of one year after the Termination Date, the affected Lender Party shall continue to make reasonable inquiry of any third party providing Confidential Information as to whether such third party is subject to an obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower or its Subsidiaries and if such Lender Party obtains knowledge that such third party is violating a confidentiality agreement with Borrower, such Lender Party shall treat the Confidential Information received from such third party as strictly confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.14. For purposes of this Section 11.14(d), the “Termination Date” shall mean the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or, with respect to a specific Lender Party, the date such Person no longer holds an interest in the Loan.

(e) Injunctive Relief. Each Lender Party hereby agrees that breach of this Section 11.14 will cause Borrower irreparable damage for which recovery of damages would be inadequate, and that Borrower shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief under this Agreement, as well as such further relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) No Fiduciary Duty. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrower.

(g) Separate Action. Borrower covenants and agrees not to, and hereby expressly waives any right to, raise as a defense, affirmative defense, set off, recoupment or otherwise against any Lender Party any claim arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this Section 11.14 in any action, claim or proceeding relating to a breach of the Loan Documents by Borrower or other action to enforce or recover the Obligations, and covenant and agree that any claim against a Lender Party arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this Section 11.14 by a Lender Party shall only be asserted as an affirmative claim in a separate action against the applicable Lender Party.

11.15. Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

11.16. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

11.17. Governing Law. Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York without any regard to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Laws of the State of New York.

11.18. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

11.19. Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

11.20. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

11.21. Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Lender that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the Closing Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a participation interest herein pursuant to Section 11.8, if applicable) two duly completed copies, signed by a Responsible Official, of either Form W 8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or Form W 8ECI (relating to all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement), or W-8IMY, as applicable, of the United States of America Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Lender. If a Lender is claiming a “portfolio interest exemption,” such Lender shall, in addition to Form W 8BEN, provide a certificate signed by a Responsible Official to the effect that (i) such Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) such Lender is not a 10% shareholder of Borrower, and (iii) such Lender is not related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, including before the expiration of any previously delivered form, each such Lender shall (a) promptly submit to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States of America taxing authorities) as may then be required under then current United States of America Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States of America withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re designation of its LIBOR Lending Office, if any) to avoid any applicable deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. In the event that Borrower or the Administrative Agent become aware that a participation has been granted pursuant to Section 11.8(e) to a financial institution that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, upon request made by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Lender which granted such participation, such Lender shall cause such participant financial institution to deliver the same documents and information to Borrower and the Administrative Agent as would be required under this Section if such financial institution were a Lender. Each Lender that is a United States of America Person shall, upon the reasonable request of Borrower, deliver Form W-9 on or before the Closing Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a participation pursuant to Section 11.8, if applicable) and before the expiration of a previously delivered form.

11.22. Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the

defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Projects of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Projects and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Projects by Borrower or Guarantor or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors thereof, or any third Persons at any time occupying or present on any Project, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Project. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any Project, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Project or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous Materials on any Project, the presence of which is caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower under this Section (and under Sections 4.17 and 5.10) shall be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Project. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

11.23. [Intentionally Omitted].

11.24 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County or the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, or any appellate court from any thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

11.24. Waiver Of Right To Trial By Jury. Each party to this agreement hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under any loan document or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto or any of them with respect to any loan document, or the transactions related thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise; and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that any party to this agreement may file an original counterpart or a copy of this section with any court as written evidence of the consent of the signatories hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

11.25. Purported Oral Amendments. Borrower expressly acknowledges that this agreement and the other loan documents may only be amended or modified, or the provisions hereof or thereof waived or supplemented, by an instrument in writing that complies with section 12.1. Borrower agrees that it will not rely on any course of dealing, course of performance, or oral or written statements by any representative of the administrative agent or any Lender that does not comply with section 12.1 to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to this agreement or the other loan documents.

11.26. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.

11.27. Defaulting Lenders. In the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any rights and remedies that may be available to Borrower or the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent (such other Lenders and the Administrative Agent being called “Non Defaulting Lenders”) at law or in equity:

(a) The Defaulting Lender’s rights to participate in the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents, including any right to vote upon, approve, disapprove, consent to or direct any action of the Administrative Agent (other than amendments to the Loan Documents directly affecting the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or forgive any portion of the Outstanding Facility Amount held by such Defaulting Lender), shall be suspended and such rights shall not be reinstated unless and until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender (and all decisions, except the decision to remove the Administrative Agent, which are to be based on a vote of the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders shall be resolved based upon a decision or determination made by the required percentage of the Non-Defaulting Lenders); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall continue to have all rights provided for in this Loan Agreement, as the Administrative Agent only, with respect to the administration of the Loan unless it is removed and replaced as the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 10.8.

(b) Any or all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated) to: (i) fund the aggregate amount that the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund or pay to the Administrative Agent (such amount being called the “Defaulted Amount”); and (ii) collect interest at the Default Rate on the Defaulted Amount (after crediting all interest actually paid by Borrower on the Defaulted Amount from time to time), either directly from the Defaulting Lender or from amounts otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender, for the period from the date on which the Defaulted Amount was funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders until the date on which payment is made. If the Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulted Amount, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to collect interest at the Default Rate from the Defaulting Lender on the Defaulted Amount as set forth above, as if the Administrative Agent were a Non-Defaulting Lender that had elected to fund the Defaulted Amount.

(c) In the event the Defaulted Amount is funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.28(b) above, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans, the Loan Documents and proceeds thereof shall be subordinated to any Defaulted Amount funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.28(b) above, plus all interest which may be due in accordance with Section 11.28(b) above (to be applied pari passu among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) funding the Defaulted Amount), without necessity for executing any further documents; provided that such Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof shall no longer be so subordinated if the Defaulted Amount funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent (and all interest which has accrued pursuant to Section 11.28(b) above) shall be repaid in full.

(d) If, following the payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to Section 11.28(c) above to the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) which have funded all or any portion of any Defaulted Amount, there remains any unfunded Defaulted Amount which has not been funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender (“Unfunded Defaulted Amount”), then a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof equal to the amount of the Unfunded Defaulted Amount (together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Defaulted Amount from time to time pursuant to the Loan Documents) shall be subordinated to the interests of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) unless and until such Unfunded Defaulted Amount is funded either by one or more Non -Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.8 and the definition of Eligible Assignee, each Non-Defaulting Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all or a proportionate share (based on the ratio of its Commitments to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders that elect to acquire a share of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including without limitation its proportionate share in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and all rights and interests of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(f) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to waive, diminish, limit, prevent or estop the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Lender from exercising or enforcing any rights or remedies which may be available at law or in equity as a result of or in connection with any default under this Agreement by a Lender (including the right to bring suit against the Defaulting Lender to recover the Defaulted Amount and interest thereon at the rate provided in this Section 11.28).

ARTICLE 12

AMENDMENTS; CONSENTS

12.1. Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or Guarantor therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party, signed by each such party, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to Section 3.2 or Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

(a) To amend, modify, forgive, reduce or waive the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Note, or the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, or the Percentage of any Lender (except with respect to increases in the Aggregate Commitment up to $1,250,000,000, as specifically provided for herein, provided that in no event may a Lender’s Commitment be increased without such Lender’s consent) or the amount of any Facility Fee payable to any Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any fee;

(b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note or any installment of any fee, or to extend the term of the Commitments (other than pursuant to Section 2.10);

(c) To amend the provisions of the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Maturity Date”;

(d) To amend or waive this Section 12.1;

(e) To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all of the Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action;

(f) To release Borrower or Guarantor from liability under the Loan Documents; or

(g) To change the manner or order of priority of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.

No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver or consent may be effective to require a Lender to fund more than its Percentage of a Request for an Advance, a Swing Loan or a Letter of Credit without the approval of any Lender affected thereby. There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions in the Loan Documents with respect to Swing Loans without the consent of the Swing Loan Lender and there shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Banking Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond to the Administrative Agent within such period, the Administrative Agent may issue a second request in writing to such Lender for such consent, which shall include in the heading a notice in capital letters that such request is a second request and that such Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been given if no response is received by the Administrative Agent within five (5) Banking Days after such second request. If that Lender fails to so respond to such second request within such period of five (5) Banking Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request, unless the consent or approval of all Lenders is required for the requested action as provided under this Section 12.1, in which event failure to so respond to such second request shall not be deemed to be an approval of such request. Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

This ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT (the “Assignment and Acceptance”) dated as of                     , 201  _____, is made by and between                      (“Assignor”) and                                          (“Assignee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Assignor is party to that certain Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of July 14, 2011 (as it may have been or hereafter may be amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented or renewed from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among BioMed Realty, L.P. (“Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, including Assignor, “Lenders”), and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent for Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”). Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and Acceptance and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, as provided under the Credit Agreement, Assignor has committed to making advances to fund Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount, when combined with Assignor’s Percentage of any Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Loans, not to exceed $                     outstanding at any one time (the “Line Commitment”). Assignor also has the option, but not the commitment, to make Competitive Bid Advances to Borrower as provided under the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date (defined below), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances owing by Borrower to Assignor equals $                     of which $                     are Line Advances and $                     are Competitive Bid Advances; and

WHEREAS, Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee [a portion] [all] of the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Credit Agreement in respect of its Line Commitment, in an aggregate amount equal to $                     (the “Assigned Amount”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and Assignee wishes to accept assignment of such rights and to assume such obligations from Assignor on such terms and subject to such conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Assignment and Acceptance.

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Assignment and Acceptance, (i) Assignor hereby sells, transfers and assigns to Assignee, and (ii) Assignee hereby purchases, assumes and undertakes from Assignor, without recourse and without representation or warranty (except as provided in this Assignment and Acceptance)  _____% (the “Assignee’s Percentage Share”) of the Line Commitment of Assignor [together with Assignor’s rights to make Competitive Bid Advances], and (B) all related rights, benefits, obligations, liabilities and indemnities of Assignor under and in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

1.2 With effect on and after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 5 hereof), Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and shall succeed to all of the rights and be obligated to perform all of the obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement, including the requirements concerning the payment of indemnification, with a Line Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount (plus the amount of Assignee’s existing Line Commitment, if any). Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all of the obligations that it is required to perform as a Lender under the Credit Agreement. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Line Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the Effective Date, be reduced by an amount equal to the Assigned Amount and Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee; provided, however, that Assignor shall not relinquish its rights to be indemnified by Borrower under Sections 11.11 and 11.22 of the Credit Agreement or any other similar indemnity provisions of the Loan Documents to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the Effective Date.

1.3 After giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, on the Effective Date Assignor’s Line Commitment will be $                    .

1.4 After giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, on the Effective Date Assignee’s Line Commitment will be $                    .

2. Payments.

2.1 As consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer contemplated in Section 1 hereof, Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the Effective Date in immediately available funds an amount [as agreed to between the Assignor and Assignee] [equal to $                    , representing Assignee’s Percentage of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances under the Loan Documents].

2.2 Assignor further agrees to pay to Agent an assignment fee in the amount specified in Section 11.8(d) of the Credit Agreement.

2.3 Assignee shall be entitled to Assignee’s Percentage of any Facility Fees, any Letter of Credit Fees and any extension fees accruing on Assignee’s Line Commitment from and after the Effective Date, together with the following portions of the commitment fees and any other fees payable to Assignor:

[None, unless specified].

3. Re-Allocation of Payments. Any interest, fees (except as may otherwise be specified in Section 2.3 above) and other payments accrued to the Effective Date with respect to the Line Commitment or the outstanding Advances of Assignor shall be for the account of Assignor. Any interest, fees (except as may otherwise be specified in Section 2.3 above) and other payments accrued on and after the Effective Date with respect to the Assigned Amount shall be for the account of Assignee. Each of Assignor and Assignee agrees that it will hold in trust for the other party any interest, fees and other amounts that it may receive to which the other party is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence and pay to the other party any such amounts that it may receive promptly upon receipt.

4. Independent Credit Decision. Assignee (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and Acceptance; and (b) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Assignor, Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit and legal decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement.

5. Effective Date; Notices.

5.1 As between Assignor and Assignee, the effective date for this Assignment and Acceptance shall be                     , 201  _____  (the “Effective Date”); provided that the following conditions precedent have been satisfied on or before the Effective Date:

(a) this Assignment and Acceptance shall be executed and delivered by Assignor and Assignee;

(b) the consent of Agent and Parent required for an effective assignment of the Assigned Amount by Assignor to Assignee under Section 11.8(b) of the Credit Agreement shall have been duly obtained and shall be in full force and effect as of the Effective Date;

(c) Assignee shall pay to Assignor all amounts due to Assignor under this Assignment and Acceptance; and

(d) the assignment fee referred to in Section 2.2 hereof shall have been paid to Agent.

5.2 Promptly following the execution of this Assignment and Acceptance, Assignor shall deliver to Borrower and Agent for acknowledgment by Agent, a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1.

6. [Agent. [INCLUDE ONLY IF ASSIGNOR IS AGENT]

6.1 Assignee hereby appoints and authorizes Assignor to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

6.2 Assignee shall assume no duties or obligations held by Assignor in its capacity as Agent under the Credit Agreement.]

7. Withholding Tax. Assignee (a) represents and warrants to Lenders, Agent and Borrower that under applicable Law and treaties no tax will be required to be withheld by Lenders with respect to any payments to be made to Assignee hereunder, (b) agrees to comply with (if it is organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof) Section 11.21 of the Credit Agreement prior to the time that Agent or Borrower is required to make any payment of principal, interest or fees hereunder or under the Loan Documents to Assignee.

8.2 Assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto. Assignor makes no representation or warranty in connection with, and assumes no responsibility with respect to, the solvency, financial condition or statements of Borrower, or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith.

8.3 Assignee represents and warrants that (i) it is duly organized and existing and it has full power and authority to take, and has taken, all action necessary to execute and deliver this Assignment and Acceptance and any other documents required or permitted to be executed or delivered by it in connection with this Assignment and Acceptance, and to fulfill its obligations hereunder; (ii) no notices to, or consents, authorizations or approvals of, any Person are required (other than any already given or obtained) for its due execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment and Acceptance; and apart from any agreements or undertakings or filings required by the Credit Agreement, no further action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Person is required of it for such execution, delivery or performance; (iii) this Assignment and Acceptance has been duly executed and delivered by it, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Assignee, enforceable against Assignee in accordance with the terms hereof, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other Laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles; and (iv) it satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under the Credit Agreement.
