“Acquired Entity or Business” shall mean either (x) the assets and liabilities constituting a business, division or product line of any Person not already a Subsidiary of the Borrower or (y) the Equity Interests of any such Person, which Person shall, as a result of such stock acquisition, become a Subsidiary of the Borrower (or shall be merged with and into the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, with (i) the Borrower being the surviving Person of any merger to which it is a party, (ii) a Subsidiary Guarantor being the surviving Person of any merger to which it is a party or (iii) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower being the surviving person of any merger to which it is a party).

“Additional Security Documents” shall have the meaning provided in Section 9.12.

“Adjusted Consolidated Net Income” shall mean, for any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period plus the sum of the amount of all net non-cash charges (including, without limitation, depreciation, amortization, deferred tax expense, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock or stock option compensation expense) and net non-cash losses which were included in arriving at Consolidated Net Income for such period, less the amount of all net non-cash gains and non-cash credits which were included in arriving at Consolidated Net Income for such period.

“Adjusted Consolidated Working Capital” shall mean, at any time, Consolidated Current Assets less Consolidated Current Liabilities at such time; provided that increases or decreases in Adjusted Consolidated Working Capital shall be calculated without regard to any changes in Consolidated Current Assets or Consolidated Current Liabilities as a result of (a) any reclassification in accordance with GAAP of assets or liabilities, as applicable, between current and noncurrent or (b) the effects of purchase accounting.

“Administrative Agent” shall mean DBTCA, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders hereunder, and shall include any successor to the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 12.09.

“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling (including, but not limited to, all directors and senior or executive officers of such Person), controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, such Person.  A Person shall be deemed to control another Person if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power (i) to vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors (or equivalent governing body)

of such Person or (ii) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such other Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Affiliate thereof shall be considered an Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.

“Agreement” shall mean this Credit Agreement, as modified, supplemented, amended, restated (including any amendment and restatement hereof), extended, renewed, increased or restructured from time to time.

“Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall have the meaning provided in Section 8.21.

“Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage” shall mean, initially, a percentage per annum equal to 0.50%.  From and after each day of delivery of any certificate delivered in accordance with the first sentence of the following paragraph (each, a “Start Date”) to and including the applicable End Date described below, the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage shall be that percentage per annum set forth below opposite the Total Net Leverage Ratio indicated to have been achieved in any certificate delivered in accordance with the following sentences:

The Total Net Leverage Ratio used in a determination of the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage shall be determined based on the delivery of a certificate (each, a “Quarterly Pricing Certificate”) of an Authorized Financial Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender) within 45 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (or within 90 days after the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter of the Borrower).  The Quarterly Pricing Certificate shall set forth the calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the Test Period ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date and the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage which shall be thereafter applicable (until such Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage is changed in accordance with the following sentences).  The Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage so determined shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant Start Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which the next Quarterly Pricing Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (y) the date which is 45 days (or 90 days in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter of the Borrower) following the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage was most recently determined pursuant to this definition (such earlier date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no Quarterly Pricing Certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to a new Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage shall be 0.50%.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, (A) the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage shall be 0.50% (x) at all times during which an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and after any cure or waiver of such Event of Default (but only so long as no other Event of Default then exists) the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply) and (y) at all times prior to the date of delivery of the financial statements of the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.01(b) for the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending September 30, 2012 and (B) the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage in respect of any Tranche of Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be the applicable percentage per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Offer accepted by the respective Extending RL Lenders.

2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Total Net Leverage Ratio set forth in any Quarterly Pricing Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and, as a result thereof, the RL Lenders received a Commitment Commission that is less than that which would have been applicable thereto had the Total Net Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each RL Lender such additional Commitment Commission for such period in an amount equal to the remainder of (x) the amount of Commitment Commission to which such RL Lenders would have received had the Total Net Leverage Ratio been correctly computed minus (y) the amount of Commitment Commission actually paid to such RL Lenders for such period, together with interest on such additional amounts (to the extent permitted by law) for such period at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate that was in effect from to time during such period plus the Applicable Margin during such period for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans.  Such Commitment Commission and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower and (ii) within five Business Days after the Borrower obtains knowledge (including by way of notification thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) that the Total Net Leverage Ratio was inaccurately computed; provided that in the case of preceding clause (ii), nonpayment of such Commitment Commission and interest as a result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate), at any time prior to the date that is five Business Days after the Borrower obtains knowledge (including by way of notification hereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) that the Total Net Leverage Ratio was inaccurately calculated.

“Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage” shall mean 50%; provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Specified Default exists on the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, (i) if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period is less than or equal to 4:00:1.00 but greater than 3:00:1.00, then the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage instead shall be 25% and (ii) if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period is less than or equal to 3:00:1.00, then the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage instead shall be 0%.

“Applicable Margin” shall mean a percentage per annum equal to: (i) in the case of Initial Term Loans maintained as (x) Base Rate Loans, 3.25%, and (y) Eurodollar Loans, 4.25%; (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans maintained as (x) Base Rate Loans, 3.25%, and (y) Eurodollar Loans, 4.25%; (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, 3.25%; (iv) in the case of any Type of Incremental Term Loan of a given Tranche that is not an Initial Term Loan, that percentage per annum set forth in, or calculated in accordance with, Section 2.14 and the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement; (v) in the case of any Type of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans made pursuant to any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, that percentage per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Offer accepted by the respective Extending RL Lenders; (vi) in the case of any Type of Extended Term Loans of a given Tranche, that percentage per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Offer accepted by the respective Extending Term Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, the Applicable Margin shall be increased as and to the extent necessary to comply with Section 2.14(a) or 2.15(a), as the case may be.

3

SECTION 2.         Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.01        The Commitments.  (a)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan or term loans (each, an “Initial Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Initial Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Initial Borrowing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Initial Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (iv) shall be made by each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Initial Borrowing Date.  Once repaid, Initial Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

(b)        Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time.

(c)                          Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees to make a term loan or term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing of such Tranche on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Incremental Term Loans of the same Type, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Incremental Term Loan Lender at any time of any incurrence thereof, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender for such Tranche on the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date.  Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

(d)        Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time

41

outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Swingline Loans) at such time, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(d), the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party, the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders with Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders with Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable.

(e)         On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the RL Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL Lenders pro rata based on each such RL Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans.  Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(f)         If the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date

42

all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 3.07), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to Extended Revolving Loan Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

2.02        Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing.  The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche.  More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate for all Tranches of Loans (unless a greater number of such Borrowings is agreed to by the Administrative Agent).

2.03        Notice of Borrowing.  (a)  Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder or (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day.  Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify:  (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans, and if Incremental Term Loans, the specific Tranche thereof, and (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, written notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b)        (i)  Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

(ii)                                  Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(e), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(e).

43

(c)                          Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error or willful misconduct.

2.04        Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(e)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof).  All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If 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.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately following such notification pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08.  Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05        Notes.  (a)  The Borrower’s obligations to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, promptly following request also be evidenced (i) in the case of Initial Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each an “Initial Term Note” and, collectively, the “Initial Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans (including any Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to an Extended Revolving Loan Commitment), by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Revolving

44

Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”), (iv) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”), and (v) in the case of Extended Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-5, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each an “Extended Term Note” and, collectively, the “Extended Term Notes”).

(b)                         Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c)                          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes.  No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents.  Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b).  At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall (at its expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06                        Conversions.  The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan; provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted unless the Borrower pays any amounts due under Section 2.11 and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans if any Event of Default is in existence on the proposed date of conversion and either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have elected to not permit such conversion in its or their sole discretion and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02.  Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) (x) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a conversion into Eurodollar Loans and (y) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans (in each case, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans,

45

the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07                        Pro Rata Borrowings.  All Borrowings of Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Initial Term Loan Commitments, applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages.  It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08                        Interest.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b)                         The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan hereunder, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c)                          Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time.  Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on written demand.

(d)                         Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of (A) any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche and (B) in the case of Revolving Loans, the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e)                          Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09                        Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the

46

third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period, or, to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with Commitments and/or Loans under the relevant Tranche, a nine or twelve month period, provided that (in each case):

(i)                                     all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii)                                  the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii)                               if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv)                              if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v)                                 at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in its or their sole discretion, no Interest Period may be selected at any time if an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vi)                              no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans.

If by 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10                        Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.  (a)  In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i)                                     on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii)                                  at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or

47

administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to (A) a change that shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes exclusively covered by Section 5.04(a) and (2) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market; or

(iii)                               at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, promptly following such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)                         At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) within one Business Day of the date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)                          If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such

48

Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, promptly following its written demand therefor (together with the reasonable detail described in the last sentence of this clause (c)) such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital.  In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and customary, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.  Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d)                         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) 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 regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

(e)                          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

2.11                        Compensation.  The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, promptly following its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans, or assignment of any of its Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.13, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12                        Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans

49

or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13                        Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) if any Lender is incurring or is reasonably expected to incur costs which are or would be material in amount and are associated with a Gaming Authority’s investigation of whether or not such Lender is a Qualified Person, (c) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs under any such Section, (d) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b) (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), or (e) a Lender rejects (or is deemed to reject) the Extension requested of it under Section 2.16 which Extension has been accepted under Section 2.16 by at least the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche of Loans whose Loans and Commitments are to be extended pursuant to such Extension, the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Qualified Persons, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b), where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender, provided that:

(a)                                 at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall be obligated to enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or the Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (b) the outstanding Term Loans of a Tranche or Tranches, the outstanding Term Loans of such Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (III) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.01 (other than pursuant to Section 4.01(h)), (y) except in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Replaced Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by

50

such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest thereon at such time; and

(b)                                 all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those (x) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Sections 2.11 and 4.01(h) or (y) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, prompt delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.  In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting such replacement within five Business Days after the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption Agreement without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

2.14                        Incremental Term Loan Commitments.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right to request, at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Qualified Persons and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) any Lender (including any Qualified Person who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, and all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto, shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (whether constituting a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or being added to (and thereafter constituting a part of) a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan

51

Commitment under such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (including Qualified Persons who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000 (or such lower amount as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other integral multiple as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount at such time, (vi) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees, payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the Borrower and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender, (vii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall (A) have an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, (B) have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Initial Term Loans and (C) be subject to the Applicable Margins as are set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement governing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up-front or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (y) four years) payable to all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and any Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared generally with all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up-front or similar fees or original issue discount originally payable to all Lenders providing the Initial Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loans theretofore incurred and any Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans) relating to the Initial Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins relating to the Initial Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans thereto incurred shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins (determined as provided above) relating to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%, (viii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 8.08(c), (ix) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate the Tranche or Tranches of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as the Initial Term Loans or any other then existing Tranche of Term Loans) unless the requirements of Section 2.14(c) are satisfied), (x) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranties, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranties, (xi) each Lender (including any Qualified Person who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(c) and such Incremental Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents, and (xii) other terms may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(b)                         At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Qualified Person which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan

52

Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein (and the making of the respective Incremental Term Loans thereunder) to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Required Lenders prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments), and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.14, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2, B-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.), provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i)                                     the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added; provided, however, if the up-front fees and/or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (y) four years) payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the up-front fees and/or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Term Loans and (y) four years) originally payable to the Lenders that provided the Tranche of Term Loans to which such Incremental Term Loans are to be added by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Term Loans shall be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to eliminate any such deficiency in excess of 0.50%;

(ii)                                  the new Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Term Loan Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans proportionately); and

(iii)                               on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term

53

Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche of Term Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period).  In connection therewith, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding Eurodollar Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by the Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

The Incremental Term Loan Agreement may, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but without the consent of any other Credit Party or the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14.

2.15                        Incremental RL Commitments.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right to request, at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Qualified Persons and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental RL Commitments and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental RL Commitment Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental RL Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental RL Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental RL Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.15, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental RL Commitment incurred pursuant to this Section 2.15, (ii) any Lender (including any Qualified Persons who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental RL Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each incurrence of Incremental RL Commitments on a given Incremental RL Commitment Date pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental RL Commitment (including any Eligible Transferee who will become Lenders) of at least $5,000,000 (or such lower amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other integral multiple as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the aggregate amount of Incremental RL Commitments to be incurred pursuant to this Section 2.15 at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental RL Commitment Amount at such time, (v) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees, payable to each Incremental RL Lender in respect of each Incremental RL Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the Borrower and each such Incremental RL Lender, (vi) if the Applicable Margins with respect to Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to an Incremental RL Commitment shall be higher in any respect than those applicable to any other Revolving Loans, the Applicable Margins for such other Revolving Loans and extension of credit hereunder shall be automatically increased as and to the extent needed to eliminate any deficiencies in accordance with the definition of “Applicable Margin” contained herein, (vii) the proceeds of all Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental RL Commitments shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 8.08(b), and (viii) all Loans subsequently incurred pursuant to such

54

Incremental RL Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranties, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranties.

(ii)                                  except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity, the Revolving Loan Commitment of any RL Lender (an “Extending RL Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Loan Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) (except for covenants or other provisions contained herein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01(f) and 3.07 to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their RL Percentages (and, except as provided in Sections 2.01(f) and 3.07, without giving effect to changes thereto on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings and commitment reductions under Revolving Loan Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Revolving Loan Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (including extended Revolving Loan Commitments and any original Revolving Loan Commitments) which have more than three different Revolving Loan Maturity Dates;

(iii)                               except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained herein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect);

(iv)                              the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.02(b) for periods prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date may not be increased;

(v)                                 the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

(vi)                              any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;

56

(vii)                           if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;

(viii)                        all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing;

(b)                         With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.01, 5.02, or 13.06 and (ii) no Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $25,000,000 and no Tranche of Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an amount less than $5,000,000 (in either case, the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (but otherwise subject to Section 13.12(a)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16, provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of an Extension Offer.

57

(c)                          The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrower (and the other applicable Credit Parties) as (and to the extent) may be necessary in order establish new Tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a Maturity Date prior to the then latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d)                         In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

2.17                        Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of the Initial Borrowing Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction” and each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent, such investment bank in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied (or waived in writing by the Required Lenders prior to the commencement of any Auction):

(i)                                     each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.17 and Schedule 2.17 or such other procedures, terms and conditions established by the Borrower and the Auction Manager and consented to (acting reasonably) by the Administrative Agent;

(iv)                              the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not exceed $50,000,000;

(v)                                 after giving effect to any purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17, the sum of (x) the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment plus (y) the aggregate amount of all Unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall equal or exceed $35,000,000;

58

(vi)                              the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(viii)                        no more than three Auctions may be effected in any twelve month period unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion;

(x)                                 no purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be made with proceeds received from the incurrence of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans; and

(xi)                              at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii), (iv), and (v) (and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iv) and (v)).

(b)                         The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction.  The Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder.  With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06 (although the par principal amount of Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be applied to reduce the remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans of the applicable Lenders being repaid on a pro rata basis).

(c)                          The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.17 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.  The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 12 and Section 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

59

(d)                                 Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw its offer for any Auction under this Section 2.17 prior to the completion thereof.

(e)                                  Each Lender participating in any Auction acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such Auction, (i) the Borrower then may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to participate in such Auction (“Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, has made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.  Each Lender participating in any Auction further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

2.18                        Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)                         if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time an RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)                                     all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all RL Lenders’ that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders Individual RL Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to an RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual RL Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time;

(ii)                                  if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following written notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Loan Exposure (without any permanent reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment) and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”);

(iii)                               the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;

(iv)                              if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then the fees payable to the RL Lenders

60

pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages; and

(v)                                 if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any RL Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(b)                         notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(d) or Section 3, so long as any RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such RL Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the RL Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such RL Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other RL Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such RL Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be returned to the Borrower within five Business Days.  If the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all Obligations in respect of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings) have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations which are not then due and payable) and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be returned to the Borrower within five Business Days.

SECTION 3.                            Letters of Credit.

3.01                        Letters of Credit.  (a)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 10th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”).  All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(b)                         Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and

61

prior to the 10th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

(i)                                     any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii)                                  such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

3.02                        Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $10,000,000 or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 15 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

3.03                        Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.  (a)  Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile).  Each notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b)                         The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02.  Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied (or waived in writing by the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit), or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall,

62

subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.  Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be.  Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment.  On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written report (which may be transmitted via facsimile) of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.

(c)                          The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $20,000 or such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04                        Letter of Credit Participations.  (a)  Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.  Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b)                         In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Issuing Lender (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c)                          In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds.  If the Administrative Agent so notifies, on or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day (or to the extent that the Administrative Agent so notifies such Participant after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day, in either case) in same day funds.  If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing

63

Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter.  The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d)                         Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

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

(f)                           The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever (except in the case of an Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i)                                     any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

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

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

(iv)                              the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

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

3.05                        Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available

64

funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of written notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default under Section 11.05 or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on written demand.  Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b)        The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment (other than payment or performance) which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Issuing Lender (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06        Increased Costs.  If at any time after the Effective Date and without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 2.10(c), the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes exclusively covered by Section 5.04(a) and (2) Excluded Taxes), then, promptly following the delivery of the

65

certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital.  Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant.  The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Issuing Lender or Participant pursuant to this Section 3.06 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Person notifies the Borrower of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

3.07        Extended Revolving Loan Commitments.  If the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the RL Lenders under the applicable Tranche to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.05) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders under the applicable Tranche pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated).  Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date with respect to a given Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders under a Tranche in any Letter of Credit under such Tranche issued before the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

3.08        Conflict with Letter of Credit Request.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Request or any other document related to issuing a Letter of Credit, (i) in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Request or such other document, the terms hereof shall control in all respects and (ii) any grant of a security interest in any Letter of Credit Request shall be null and void.

(c)         The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500; it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d)        The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable and customary expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

4.02        Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments.  (a)  Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender.

(b)        In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding the payment of amounts owing in respect of Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized in the manner set forth in clause (c) below, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

(c)         If any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time that an RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated as provided in Section 4.02(b), then:

(i)            all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of the Individual RL Exposures of all RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders plus such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure that is to be reallocated does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’

68

Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to an RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual RL Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; and

(ii)           if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (unless the Administrative Agent rescinds such notice in writing) cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding.

4.03        Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  (a)  The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety at 5:00 P.M. on May 9, 2012, unless the Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or prior to such date.

(b)           In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Initial Term Loan Commitment (and the Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Initial Term Loans on such date).

(d)           In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender) (other than Extended Revolving Loan Commitments) shall terminate in its entirety upon the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment remaining in effect after the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall terminate in its entirety upon the Revolving Loan Maturity Date applicable to any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments.

(e)           In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 5.02(j).  Each reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) shall be applied to proportionately reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender.

(b)        In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right (subject to Section 5.02(j)), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to repay all Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees, and all other amounts (including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11) then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments), and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized in the manner provided in Section 4.02(c) and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.  Each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Term Loan Repayment of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

70

5.02        Mandatory Repayments.  (a)  On any day on which the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (III) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans (without a reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment) and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loan (without a reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment) in an amount equal to such excess.  If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time (an “L/C Overadvance”), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established and controlled by the Administrative Agent solely until such time as the L/C Overadvance no longer exists and then only so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists.

(d)        In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within five Business Days after the date on which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default or Specified Default then exists and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets (other than working capital) used or useful in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 10.11 within (x) 365 days following receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to use such Net Sale Proceeds before the expiration of the 365 day period referred to in preceding clause (x), within 180 days after the end of such 365 day period; and provided further, however, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) are not so reinvested within the applicable time period (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(e)         In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (A) the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (B) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Loans (other than any Term Loans (calculated at the face amount thereof) purchased or repaid pursuant to an Auction) to the extent (and only to the extent) that such repayments were made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 5.01 with internally generated funds (but in a case of a voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a voluntary reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to such prepayment) during the

(g)         Subject to Section 5.02(j), each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied (i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and shall be allocated among each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of the respective repayment and (ii) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding clause (i), to repay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (with no corresponding reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment). The amount of each principal repayment of each Tranche of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), 5.02(d), 5.02(e) and 5.02(f) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments in direct order of maturity.

(i)          In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, and (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the
