SECTION 2.                                   COMMITTED LOANS AND COMMITTED NOTES.

Section 2.1.                            Agreement to Make Committed Loans.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans (herein collectively called “Committed Loans” and individually each called a “Committed Loan”) on a revolving basis from time to time from the date hereof until such Bank’s Termination Date in such Bank’s Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Company may from time to time request as provided in Section 2.2; provided, that, (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of any Bank shall not at any time exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank’s name on Schedule I (as reduced in accordance with Section 4.1, Section 12.4 or Section 12.9), (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of all Banks shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment, and (c) at no time shall there be more than 15 Committed Loans outstanding.  Within the limits of this Section 2.1, the Company may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Committed Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.2.                            Procedure for Committed Loans.

(a)                               Committed Loan Requests.  The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable telephonic notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in writing on the same day), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, (i) at least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) on the Funding Date in the case of Base Rate Loans, of each requested Committed Loan, and the Agent shall promptly advise each Bank thereof and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the Reuters Page is not available, request each Reference Bank to notify the Agent of its applicable rate (as contemplated in the definition of Base LIBOR).  Each such notice to the Agent (a “Committed Loan Request”) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Committed Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b) below), (iii) whether each Committed Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate

Loan or a Base Rate Loan and (iv) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan Period therefor (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Loan Period).  After giving effect to all Committed Loans and all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other there shall not be more than ten Loan Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

(b)                              Amount and Increments of Committed Loans.  Each Committed Loan Request shall contemplate Committed Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed in the aggregate (for all requested Committed Loans) the excess of the then Aggregate Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans, calculated as of the relevant Funding Date.

(c)                               Funding of Committed Loans.

(i)                                  Not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of a Committed Loan, each Bank shall, subject to this Section 2.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds covering such Bank’s Committed Loan (provided, that, a Bank’s obligation to provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank’s delivery to the Agent at its Notice Office not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, of a Federal reserve wire confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank’s Committed Loan) and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Company not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received the documents required under Section 9 with respect to such Committed Loan and the other conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan shall have been satisfied not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day.  If the Agent does not receive such documents or such other conditions precedent have not been satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not pay over such funds to the Company, (B) the Company’s Committed Loan Request related to such Committed Loan shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) in the case of Committed Loan Requests relative to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Company shall be liable to each Bank in accordance with Section 6.4 and (D) the Agent shall return the amount previously provided to the Agent by each Bank on the next following Business Day.

(ii)                              The Company agrees, notwithstanding its previous delivery of any documents required under Section 9 with respect to a particular Committed Loan, immediately to notify the Agent of any failure by it to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan.  The Agent shall be entitled to assume, after it has received each of the documents required under Section 9 with respect to a particular Committed Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan has been satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary received by the Agent prior to the time of the receipt of such documents.  Unless the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of any Committed Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan have not been satisfied, the Banks shall be entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been satisfied.

(d)                             Repayment of Committed Loans.  If any Bank is to make a Committed Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay (or has elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 4.2) all or any part of any outstanding Committed Loan held by such Bank, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be applied to make such repayment and only an amount equal

to the positive difference, if any, between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the Agent to be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.3.                            Maturity of Committed Loans.  Except for a Base Rate Loan, which shall mature on the Termination Date, a Committed Loan made by a Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank; provided, that, a LIBOR Rate Loan maturing at the end of a Loan Period may at the end of such Loan Period, pursuant to Section 3.1(b), become a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.4.                            Optional Conversion of Committed Loans.  The Company may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1, Convert all Committed Loans of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Committed Loans of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made only (x) on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans or (y) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans so long as the Company pays the amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.4(a), any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.2(b) and no Conversion of any Committed Loans shall result in more separate Committed Loans than permitted under Section 2.2(a); provided, further, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default no Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be permitted.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Committed Loans to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into LIBOR Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Loan Period for each such Committed Loan.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.

SECTION 3.                                   INTEREST AND FEES.

Section 3.1.                            Interest Rates.  The Company hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Committed Loan for the period commencing on the Funding Date for such Committed Loan until such Committed Loan is paid in full, as follows:

(a)                               if such Committed Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Committed Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus 2% per annum; and

(b)                              if such Committed Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Loan; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Committed Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall, at the end of the applicable Loan Period then in effect, bear interest on

the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such Committed Loan immediately prior to maturity of such Committed Loan) plus 2% per annum.

Section 3.2.                            Interest Payment Dates.  Except for Base Rate Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, accrued interest on each Committed Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the one, two or three month, as applicable, Loan Period therefor and with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, accrued interest on any Committed Loan shall be payable on demand.  If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the interest paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Committed Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

Section 3.3.                            Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates.

(a)                               The applicable interest rate for each Committed Loan hereunder shall be determined by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to the Company and to each Bank.  Each determination of the applicable interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of demonstrable error.

(b)                              In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to notify the Agent in a timely fashion of its applicable rate after the Agent’s request (if any) therefor under Section 2.2(a) (as contemplated in the definition of Base LIBOR).  If as to any Loan Period the Reuters Page is not available and any one or more of the Reference Banks is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable rate by 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rate or rates of which the Agent is given notice by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks by such time.  If the Reuters Page is not available and none of the Reference Banks notifies the Agent of the applicable rate prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Company the Committed Loan Request delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a) with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be deemed to have specified a Base Rate Loan.

(c)                               The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 3.4.                            Commitment Fee.  The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages an annual commitment fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such commitment fee in accordance with Schedule II hereto.  Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with the last Business Day of December, 2012) until the Commitments have expired or have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank’s Termination Date), in each case for the period then ending for which such commitment fee has not previously been paid; provided, that, no Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee in respect of its Commitment for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank).

Section 3.5.                            Agent’s Fees.  The Company agrees promptly to pay to the Agent such fees as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Agent.

Section 3.6.                            Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, and commitment fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

SECTION 4.                                   REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

Section 4.1.                            Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a) The Company may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the next Business Day advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans.  Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Concurrently with any such reduction, the Company shall prepay the principal of any Committed Loans outstanding to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced.  The Company may from time to time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Committed Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations of the Company hereunder. Any notice of reduction or termination in full of the Commitments hereunder may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b)                              Termination of Defaulting Bank.  The Company shall be entitled at any time to (i) terminate the unused Commitment of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank (the “Defaulted Commitments”) upon prior notice of not less than one Business Day to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), and/or (ii) replace all of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank with Commitments of a Successor Bank, provided, that, (x) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement with respect to all of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments, as the case may be, and (y) concurrently with such assignment, either the Company or one or more Successor Banks shall pay for the account of such Defaulting Bank an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Committed Loans owing to such Defaulting Bank, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement.  In either such event, the provisions of Section 4.3 shall apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Company or such Successor Bank for the account of such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, commitment fees or other amounts), provided, that, such termination or assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Company, the Agent, or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

Section 4.2.                            Voluntary Prepayments.  The Company may voluntarily prepay Committed Loans without premium or penalty, except as may be required pursuant to subsection (d) below, in whole or in part; provided, that, (a) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) the Company shall give the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall promptly advise each Bank) not less than two Business Days’ prior notice thereof for prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans and same day notice thereof for prepayments of Base Rate Loans specifying the Committed Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment, (c) any prepayment of principal of any Committed Loan shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid and (d) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4. Any notice of prepayment in full of all Committed Loans hereunder or reduction of Commitments in full may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 4.3.                    Defaulting Banks.

(a)                               No Commitment of any Bank shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.3 or otherwise specifically provided herein, performance by the Company of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 4.3.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 4.3 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Company, the Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(b)                              If the Company and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Commitments of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Commitments to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively or with duplication with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

(c)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, commitment fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of any Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Committed Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent;  third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Committed Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Committed Loans were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 9 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Committed Loans of all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Committed Loans of such Defaulting Bank and provided, further, that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Bank shall be returned to such Defaulting Bank upon the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Bank’s obligations hereunder.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

SECTION 5.                                   MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES.

Section 5.1.                            Making of Payments.  Except as provided in Section 2.2(d), payments (including those made pursuant to Section 4.1) of principal of, or interest on, the Committed Loans and all payments of fees and any other payments required to be made by the Company to the Agent hereunder shall be made by the Company to the Agent in immediately available funds at its Payment Office not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next following Business Day.  Subject to Sections 3.4 and 4.3, the Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of each such payment.  All payments under Section 6 and all payments required to be made hereunder to any Person other than the Agent shall be made by the Company when due directly to the Persons entitled thereto in immediately available funds.

Section 5.2.                            Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

(a)                               Except as required pursuant to Section 3.4, Section 4.3, Section 6 or Section 12.9, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Committed Loans, each payment of interest on the Committed Loans and each payment of the commitment fee shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages.

(b)                              If any Bank or other holder of a Committed Loan shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or fees or other amounts with respect to any Committed Loan in excess of the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under Section 6 or pursuant to Section 12.9) such Bank or other holder would have received if such payment had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such participations in the Committed Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Committed Loans shall be shared by the Banks and other holders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 5.3.                            Set-off.  The Company agrees that the Agent, each Arranger, each Bank, each Participant and any of their respective branches or agencies, to the extent permitted by applicable law, has all rights of set-off and banker’s lien provided by applicable law, and the Company further agrees that at any time, (i) any amount owing by the Company under this Agreement is due to any such Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such Person, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may apply to the payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Person.

Section 5.4.                            Taxes, etc.  (a) All payments made by the Company to the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant under this Agreement and the Committed Notes shall be made without any set off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without

deduction for or on account of any present or future Covered Taxes (except to the extent that such withholding or deduction is compelled by law).  If the Company is compelled by law to make any such deductions or withholdings of any Taxes it will:

(i)                                  pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted,

(ii)                              pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent, each Bank, each Assignee and each Participant after such deductions or withholdings for Covered Taxes (including any required deductions or withholdings of Covered Taxes on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and

(iii)                          promptly forward to the Agent (for delivery to such payee) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities.

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant, such payee may pay such Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt or other reasonably satisfactory documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such additional amount (including, without limitation, any reasonable expenses with respect thereto) as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such payee after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that, the Agent, the Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the extent possible any material amounts of such Covered Taxes if they can do so without material cost or legal or regulatory disadvantage).  For purposes of this Section 5.4, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank, Assignee or Participant shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company.  The Company’s agreement under this Section 5.4 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

(b)                              In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Company’s undertakings in Section 5.4(a), each Bank other than a Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent and the Company, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under this Agreement, two original copies of IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any successor forms), as appropriate, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the effect that such Non-U.S. Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax

Compliance Certificate”), claiming complete exemption from (or a reduced rate of) withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, (ii) to the extent it does not act or has ceased to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Bank under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Non-U.S. Bank or where such Non-U.S. Bank is a partnership), (1) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts for its own account, two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Non-U.S. Bank under subsection (i) of this Section 5.4(b), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete exemption from (or a reduced rate of) withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (2) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank does not act or has ceased to act for its own account, two original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8EXP (or any successor forms), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided, that if the Non-U.S. Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, (iii) any other properly completed and duly executed form or forms reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as a basis for claiming complete exemption from (or a reduced rate of) withholding and deduction of Taxes, together with such supplementary documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent to permit the Company or the Agent to determine the withholding (including backup withholding) or deduction required to be made and whether such Non-U.S. Bank is subject to information reporting requirements.

(c)                               Each Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent and the Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before the date such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent) a copy of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such U.S. Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(d)                             If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that

such Non-U.S. Bank has complied with such Non-U.S. Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(e)                               Each Bank hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Bank of any forms or other information pursuant to Section 5.4(b) or 5.4(c), whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Bank shall promptly (and in all events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver to the Agent and the Company two original copies of any renewal, amendment or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law or regulation in order to confirm or establish such Bank’s complete exemption from (or entitlement to a reduced rate of) withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to payments to such Bank under this Agreement, (ii) if applicable, in the case of a change in law after the date on which such Bank became a Bank hereunder that results in a withholding or deduction of United States Federal Taxes on payments hereunder to such Bank, establish the status of such Bank as other than a United States person for United States Federal tax purposes and, to the extent entitled under an applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit of an exemption or a reduced rate of withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to any such payments under an applicable tax treaty of the United States, and/or (iii) if applicable, confirm or establish that such Bank does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such payments.

(f)                                If the Company determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 5.4, the Agent and the Banks, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 5.4(g), cooperate with the Company in challenging such Covered Tax at the Company’s expense if requested by the Company (it being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any Tax).  If the Agent or a Bank has actual knowledge that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) in respect of a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 5.4, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware of such refund by the Company) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from the Company, apply for such refund at the Company’s expense.  If the Agent or any Bank receives a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) of any Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 5.4 which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this Section 5.4, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) shall be paid to the Company, but only to the extent of the additional amounts received from the Company, provided, that, in the case of a Covered Tax the Company was required to deduct and withhold under this Section 5.4, the Company deducted and withheld such Covered Tax in full as and when required pursuant to this Section 5.4, provided, further, that if all or any portion of such refund subsequently becomes unavailable or must be returned, the Company shall repay to the Agent or Bank that paid over such refund to the Company an amount equal to any portion of the refund that must be returned, plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed with respect thereto.

(g)                              Notwithstanding any other provision of paragraphs (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 5.4, an Agent or Bank shall not be required to deliver any form that such Agent or Bank is not legally able to deliver.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall require any Agent, Bank, Assignee or Participant to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

(h)                              Each Bank will, at the Company’s request, designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, amounts required to be paid by the Company under this Section 5.4 and will not, in such Bank’s sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(i)                                  The applicable Bank, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such Participant’s interest in such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Committed Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Committed Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Bank under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.                                   INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR RATE LOANS.

Section 6.1.                            Increased Costs.  (a)If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the making or issuance of any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency and compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) therewith, then, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, which shall provide the sole source of additional amounts payable to any Bank with respect to the matters covered therein,

(A)                          shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) to any present or future tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans (except for (i) Covered Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes);

(B)                           shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest pursuant to Section 3.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for insurance of

deposits) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

(C)                           shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Committed Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose an additional cost on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank’s Funding Office) under this Agreement or under its Committed Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid or reimbursed).

(b)                              If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine that the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the making or issuance of any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency and compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank or such Bank’s holding company) therewith, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or such Bank’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such Bank’s holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Bank’s holding company for such reduction.

(c)                               Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Bank’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 6.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Company of the change in law or other event occurring after the date hereof giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law or other such event is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d)                             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that any changes resulting from requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) issued in

connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III) shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be adopted subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that no Bank shall be entitled to receive any compensation or reimbursement hereunder with respect to any such changes unless such requirements are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by the applicable Bank in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from borrowers similarly situated to the Company; provided, further, that no Bank shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection therewith.

Section 6.2.                            Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

(a)                               the Reuters Page is not available and the Agent is advised by two or more Reference Banks that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Base LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(b)                              the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Banks of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in such Required Banks’ opinion materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loan or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 6.3.                            Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful.  In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the Company for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Bank, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (c) on the last day of the current Loan Period for such Bank’s LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation) such Bank’s Committed Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.  If at any time

the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

Section 6.4.                            Funding Losses.  The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without limitation, any payment pursuant to Section 6.3 or 12.9(b) or any payment resulting from acceleration) or Conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any Committed Loans on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any failure to borrow resulting from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing).  For this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

Section 6.5.                            Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 6.1(c)), each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Committed Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such LIBOR Rate Loan for such Loan Period.

Section 6.6.                            Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.  Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.4.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Committed Loans.

SECTION 7.                                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

SECTION 11.                           THE AGENT.

Section 11.1.                    Authorization and Authority.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the Committed Notes and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required Banks or if required under Section 12.1, all of the Banks.  Other than as expressly set forth herein, the Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank its share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.  Other than Section 11.9, the provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Company shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 11.2.                    Agent Individually.  (a) The Person serving as the Agent, if a Bank hereunder, shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its

Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

(b)                              Each Bank understands that the Person serving as Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 11.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates.  Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Company and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Company or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Company and its Affiliates.  Each Bank understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Company and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder) which information may not be available to any of the Banks that are not members of the Agent’s Group.  None of the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Bank or use on behalf of the Banks, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Bank such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by the Agent to the Banks.

(c)                               Each Bank further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Company and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Banks (including the interests of the Banks hereunder).  Each Bank agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Bank.  None of (i) this Agreement, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including “Information” as defined in Section 12.6) concerning the Company or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual (other than the administrative duties of the Agent expressly provided hereunder) duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Bank including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Company or its Affiliates) or for its own account.

Section 11.3.                    Indemnification.  The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without releasing the Company from its obligation to do so, to the extent applicable), ratably according to their respective Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the repayment of the Committed Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that, no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 12.5 each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company.  All obligations provided for in this Section 11.3 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.4.                    Action on Instructions of the Required Banks.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Committed Loans), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Banks.  In no event will the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.  The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any holder of a Committed Loan or of a participation therein nor to impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.

Section 11.5.                    Payments.  (a)The Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Bank has made its Committed Loan available in accordance with Section 2.2(c) unless such Bank notifies the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for such Committed Loan that it does not intend to make such Committed Loan available, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  If the Agent makes any payment to the Company on the assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such Committed Loan available to the Agent but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Committed Loan available to the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount of such Bank’s Committed Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which the proceeds of such Bank’s Committed Loan become immediately available to the Agent at its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City

time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days.  A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 11.5(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  If the proceeds of such Bank’s Committed Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days’ demand from the Company, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, based upon a year of 360 days.  Nothing in this paragraph (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to make any Committed Loan or prejudice any rights which the Company may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

(a)                               The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Company has made all payments due hereunder from the Company on the due date thereof unless it receives notification prior to any such due date from the Company that the Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank hereunder in the belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Company has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the payment made by the Agent to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the date on which the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days.  If the amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting the term “Base Rate” for the term “Federal Funds Rate”.  A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 11.5(b) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 11.6.                    Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Agent’s duties hereunder are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided, that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(b)                              The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.1, 11.1 or 10.1) or (ii) in the absence of its

own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until the Company or any Bank shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Event of Default and such event or events.

(c)                               Neither the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in or in connection with this Agreement or the Information Memorandum, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 9 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(d)                             Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Bank and each Bank confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 11.7.                    Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Committed Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Committed Loan, and such Bank shall not have made available to the Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of the applicable Committed Loan.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.8.                    Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of

its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.5 and subject to the duties and obligations of the Agent under the Agreement (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 11.9.                    Resignation of Agent.  The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor reasonably acceptable to the Company (such consent of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and not required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) from among the Banks, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Banks, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation.  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder (other than with respect to its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct concerning any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.10.            Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks.  (a)  Each Bank confirms to the Agent, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agent, any other Bank or

any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Committed Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Committed Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b)                              Each Bank acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i)                                  the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Company;

(ii)                              the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii)                          determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Committed Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv)                          the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information delivered by the Agent, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 11.11.            The Register; the Committed Notes.

(a)                               The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall maintain at the Payment Office a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Banks and the Commitments and Committed Loans of, and principal amounts and interest owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)                              The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and the Committed Loans from time to time of each Bank, the amount of each Bank’s participation in

outstanding Committed Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Committed Loans of each Bank, the principal and other amounts owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Committed Loan to each Bank of such Committed Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period for each such Committed Loan shall begin and end.  Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided, that, failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any of the Company’s obligations in respect of the applicable Committed Loans; and provided further, that, in such case, the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank inscribed in the Register with respect to such Committed Loans.

(c)                               Each Bank shall record on its internal records the amount of each Committed Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided, that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank’s records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or demonstrable error.

(d)                             If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the Company (with a copy to Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 12.4.1 hereof) promptly after receipt of such notice, a Committed Note substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

Section 11.12.            No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person acting as “Book Runner”, “Lead Arranger”, “Documentation Agent” or “Syndication Agent” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

SECTION 12.                           GENERAL.

Section 12.1.                    Waiver; Amendments.  No delay on the part of the Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Committed Loan in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Committed Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company, the Agent and by the Non-Defaulting Banks having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Committed Notes, by the Required Banks, and then any amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No amendment, modification, waiver or consent (i) shall change the definition of “Required Banks” or “Percentage” in Section 1, amend, waive, change or otherwise modify the terms of Section 3.6, Section 5.2(a), Section 10.1.1, or this Section 12.1 or otherwise change the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without the written consent of the Company and all Non-Defaulting Banks, (ii) shall modify or waive any of the conditions precedent specified in

(b)                              The Company hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Agent, it will provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (with such Communications to contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Agent to global.loans.support@citi.com (or such other e-mail address designated by the Agent from time to time); provided, that, if requested in writing by any Bank, the Company will provide to such Bank a hard copy of its financial statements required to be provided hereunder.

(c)                               Each party hereto agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Banks by posting the Communications on DebtDomain or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank and the Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Agent) (the “Platform”).  Nothing in this Section 12.2

shall prejudice the right of the Agent to make the Communications available to the Banks in any other manner specified in this Agreement.

(d)       The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e., Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities) (each, a “Public Bank”).  The Company hereby agrees that (i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Banks shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Banks to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Bank,” and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Bank.”

(e)        Each Bank agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Bank for purposes of this Agreement.  Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Bank to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(f)        Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii) none of the Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Citigroup Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Citigroup Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

Section 12.3.     Computations.

(a)        Subject to Section 12.3(b), where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of AmericaGAAP as in effect from time to time.  If

there should be any material change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of AmericaGAAP after the date hereof which materially affects the financial covenants in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate revisions of such covenants (it being understood, however, that such covenants shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their existing terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Banks of any such amendment).

(b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the adoption or issuance of any accounting standards after the Closing Date will not cause any rental obligation that was not or would not have been Capitalized Rentals prior to such adoption or issuance to be deemed Capitalized Rentals.

(c)        In the event that (i) any accounting standard that is adopted or issued after the Closing Date would, but for the provisions of Section 12.3(b), cause any rental obligation that was not or would not have been Capitalized Rentals prior to such adoption or issuance to be deemed Capitalized Rentals and (ii) the effect of Section 12.3(b) shall materially impact the calculation of the financial covenants in this Agreement, then the Company thereafter shall provide, at the time of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2, to the Administrative Agent and the Banks financial statements and other documents required or as reasonably requested under this Agreement to, as applicable, provide an unaudited estimated reconciliation of such financial covenant at the close of each quarterly period with respect to the treatment of Capitalized Leases and Capitalized Rentals, calculated using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of AmericaGAAP as in effect before such adoption or issuance and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of AmericaGAAP in effect after such adoption or issuance.

12.4.1  Assignments.  Any Bank may with the written consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Bank’s Committed Loans and Commitment; each such assignment of a Bank’s Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that, any such Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in Section 5.4(b), Section 5.4(c), Section 5.4(d), Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f)  and Section 5.4(h) (subject to Section 5.4(g)); provided, further, the Company may withhold consent to the assignment of any Bank’s Committed Loans and Commitment to an Assignee for whom it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan described in Section 12.9(b)(iii) or that the Company would be required to compensate for any withholding or deductions described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 12.9(b) that are in excess of any such withholding or deductions the Company would be required to compensate to such assigning Bank, and any such withholding of consent by the Company is and hereby will be deemed to be reasonable; provided, further, that the Company

and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee shall have consummated such assignment; and provided, further, that in the event the Company is assigned any Committed Loans or Commitments hereunder, the Company’s vote in its capacity as a Bank on account of such Committed Loans or Commitments on any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement pursuant to which the Banks have voting rights hereunder shall be deemed to be voted in favor and/or against approval in direct proportion to the votes of the other Banks that have voted in favor and/or against approval of such matter:

(i)         given written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, to the Company and the Agent;

(ii)        provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Agent that, as of the date of such assignment and delegation the Company will not be required to pay any costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature (including under Section 12.5) with respect to the interest assigned in excess of those payable by the Company with respect to such interest prior to such assignment;

(iii)       paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500; and

(iv)       provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Bank has complied with the provisions of Section 11.10.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the Agent, and subject to the acceptance and recordation of the assignment by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.11, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments and documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder, except as specified in the last sentence of Section 12.6.  The Agent may from time to time (and upon the request of the Company or any Bank after any change therein shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Banks party hereto or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register.  Within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent of the effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the Assignee in accordance with Section 11.11, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Committed Notes in favor of such Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Committed Loans and a Commitment hereunder and if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 11.11, replacement Committed Notes in favor of the assigning Bank (such Committed Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Committed Notes previously held by such assigning Bank).  Each such Committed Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Committed Notes.  The assigning Bank shall promptly mark the predecessor Committed Notes,

if any, “exchanged” and deliver them to the Company.  Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 12.4.1 shall be null and void.

The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of, and this Section 12.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer by any Bank of all or any portion of such Bank’s Committed Loans or Commitment to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that, such Federal Reserve Bank shall not be considered a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement), or (ii) any Affiliate of such Bank (provided, that, the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company; provided, further, if such Affiliate is a Disqualified Person, then the foregoing consent requirement from the Company remains applicable to such assignment).  Further, the foregoing consent requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar central bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank party hereto.

The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section 12.4.1 each Assignee shall be considered a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 5.4, 6.1, 6.4, 12.5 and 12.6) and by its acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 5.4).

12.4.2  Participations.  Any Bank may at any time without the consent of the Company sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or other Person being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Committed Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Bank hereunder; provided, however, that

(a)        no participation contemplated in this Section 12.4.2 shall relieve such Bank from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

(b)        such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 12.4.2(d) below);

(c)        the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(d)       no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Bank, or is itself a Bank, shall be entitled to require such Bank to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, except that such Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank

will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in the third sentence of Section 12.1;

(e)        the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 3.1, 5.4 or 6.1 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold;

(f)        no Participant may further participate any interest in any Committed Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a restriction to such effect);

(g)        to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall be considered a Bank for purposes of Section 5.4, Section 6.1, Section 6.4, Section 12.5 and Section 12.6 and by its acceptance of a participating interest in any Committed Loan, Commitment or any other interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees that it is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under, the provisions of Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.4 as if such Participant were a Bank (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.4 shall be delivered to the participating Bank); and

(h)        such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 11.6.

Any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “SPV”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of its Committed Loans that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that, (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of this Section 12.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Committed Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 12.5 or 12.6 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided the Company with any part of any Committed Loan of such Granting Bank.  The making of a Committed Loan by a SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Bank.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Bank).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything contrary

contained in this Section 12.4.2, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Committed Loans to the Granting Bank providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Committed Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV at the time holding all or any part of any Committed Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 12.5.     Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  The Company agrees to pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a single counsel for the Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel)), in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the Committed Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel) incurred by the Agent and each Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Committed Notes or any such other instruments or documents.  Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent for such Bank’s pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any such costs or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the Banks and not paid by the Company other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent which exceed the amount which the Company has agreed with the Agent to reimburse.  In addition, without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.4, the Company agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the Banks harmless from all liability for, any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution, delivery and enforcement of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Committed Notes (if any) or the execution, delivery and enforcement of any other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, except, in each case, any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment or participation.  All obligations provided for in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.6.     Confidentiality.  Each of the Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that (i) no disclosure of Information shall be made by the Agent or any Bank to an Affiliate and such Affiliate’s respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives if such Affiliate is a Disqualified Person and (ii) the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal

process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Committed Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Committed Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.6, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the prior written consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.6 or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.  With respect to any disclosure under Section 12.6(c), each of the Agent and the Banks, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Company, to the extent legally permissible and practicable  under the circumstances, so as to permit the Company to obtain a protective order as to such disclosure, and each of the Agent and the Banks will reasonably cooperate (to the extent practicable and permitted by their respective then existing policies) with the Company for such purpose.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided, that, in the case of information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  With respect to any Bank or Agent, the obligations of such Bank or Agent pursuant to this Section 12.6 shall terminate on the first anniversary of the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which such Bank or Agent ceases to be a party hereto.

Section 12.7.     Indemnification.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Banks, but without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.4, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Banks, the Agent, the Arrangers, the Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent, and each of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Banks, the Agent and the Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent (collectively herein called the “Bank Parties” and individually called a “Bank Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively herein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) this Agreement, the Committed Notes (if any) or the Committed Loans or (ii) the direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Committed Loans or any credit extended hereunder, except for (x) any such

Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of such Bank Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment and (y) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities result from any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties other than any claims against Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent under this Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Company, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  The Company agrees not to assert any claim against the Bank Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Committed Notes (if any) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Committed Loans.  All obligations provided for in this Section 12.7 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement. This Section 12.7 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or similar items arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 12.8.     Regulation U.  Each Bank represents that it in good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 12.9.     Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of Banks; Substitution of Banks.  (a)Not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to any two anniversaries of the Closing Date (each such date, an “Anniversary Date”), the Company may, at its option, request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such shorter period as agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to the Agent (who shall promptly deliver such letter to each Bank), substantially in the form of Exhibit G.  Each Bank electing (in its sole discretion) to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall execute and deliver not earlier than the 30th day nor later than the 20th day prior to such Anniversary Date counterparts of such letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions no later than 15 days prior to such Anniversary Date, whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage of 50% or more decline to extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Banks and the Company thereof and no such extension shall occur) such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date shall be extended, effective only as of the date that is such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date.  Any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the Company’s request for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended its scheduled Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not effectuate such extension of the Termination Date more than twice during the term of this Agreement.

(a)        In addition to its rights to remove any Defaulting Bank under Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Bank (i) on account of which the Company is required to make any deductions or withholdings or pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 5.4, (ii)

on account of which the Company is required to pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 6.1, (iii) for which it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section 6.3, (iv) which has declined to (a) extend such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date under Section 12.9, or (b) consent to an amendment, modification or waiver and, in each case, Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 50% have elected to extend their respective Termination Dates or consent to such amendment, modification or waiver, the Company may in its discretion, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent and each Bank, remove such Bank as a party hereto.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such removal (which shall be a Business Day), which shall thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Bank.

(b)        In the event that any Bank does not extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above or is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, at any time prior to the Termination Date for such Bank (a “Terminating Bank”), the Company may, at its option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a Bank or Banks, or if not a Bank, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall herein be called a “Successor Bank”) with the approval of the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) succeed to all or a percentage of the Terminating Bank’s outstanding Committed Loans, if any, and rights under this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such Terminating Bank’s undertaking to make Committed Loans pursuant hereto and other obligations hereunder (as if (i) in the case of any Bank electing not to extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Successor Bank had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such subsection (a) and (ii) in the case of any Bank that is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by the Company); provided, that, prior to replacing any Terminating Bank with any Successor Bank, the Company shall have given each Bank which has agreed to extend its Termination Date an opportunity to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the Terminating Banks’ Commitments.  Such succession and assumption shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this Agreement among the Terminating Bank, the Successor Bank, the Company and the Agent.  On and as of the effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i) each Successor Bank party thereto shall be and become a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Bank hereunder and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner as any other Bank and (ii) the Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500 for each such Successor Bank which is not a Bank.

(c)        On the Termination Date for any Terminating Bank, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment shall terminate and the Company shall pay in full all of such Terminating Bank’s Committed Loans (except to the extent assigned pursuant to subsection (c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.4 on account of such payment); provided, that, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date scheduled as any Terminating Bank’s Termination Date, payment of such Terminating Bank’s Committed Loans shall be postponed to (and, for purposes of calculating commitment fees under Section 3.4 and determining the Required Banks (except as provided below), but for no other purpose, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment shall continue until) the first Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured

Event of Default exists (without regard to any waiver or amendment that makes this Agreement less restrictive for the Company, other than as described in clause (ii) below) or (ii) the Required Banks (which for purposes of this subsection (d) shall be determined based upon the respective Percentages and aggregate Commitments of all Banks other than any Terminating Bank whose scheduled Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this proviso) waive or amend the provisions of this Agreement to cure all existing Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or agree to permit any borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any such event.  In the event that Citibank or its Affiliates shall become a Terminating Bank, the provisions of Section 11.9 shall apply with respect to Citibank in its capacity as Agent.

Section 13.6.     Continuing Guaranty.  The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 13.7.     Indemnity and Rights of Contribution.  The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that (a) if a payment of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and (b) if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations that shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company, then the other Subsidiary Guarantors shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such

Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.  The payment obligation of the Company to any Subsidiary Guarantor or of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Obligor under the other provisions of this Agreements, including this Section 13, and such Subsidiary Guarantor or Excess Funding Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

Section 13.8.     General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.  In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 13.1 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 13.7, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Bank, the Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
