During any period that the Borrower has received more than two Credit Ratings and such Credit Ratings are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the highest Credit Rating if they differ by only one Level; provided, if they differ by two or more Levels, then the Applicable Margin will be determined by the average of the highest two Credit Ratings unless the average is not a specified Level, in which case the Applicable Margin will be based on the Level corresponding to the second highest Credit Rating.

Each borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount then available hereunder or if the proceeds of such borrowing are to be used to repay a Reimbursement Obligation or a Swingline Loan, in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation or the principal balance of such Swingline Loan, as applicable). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 10:00 a.m. at least (i) one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Revolver Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Effective Date, the loans outstanding under the Existing Revolver Agreement will be deemed to be outstanding as Revolving Loans hereunder and the existing LIBOR rates and Interest Periods applicable thereto will remain for purposes of determining LIBOR with respect to the interest rate thereon until the end of the applicable interest period (unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof).

-45-

(c) Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Revolver Notice of Borrowing under subsection (b) of this Section, the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender to the Borrower with the Agent at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans.

With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Revolving Lender. In such event, if such Revolving Lender does not make available to the Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Revolving Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Type of Revolving Loan designated by Borrower in the applicable Revolver Notice of Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Revolving Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Revolving Lender pays to the Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender.

Section 2.2. Term Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make an Additional Term Loan in the applicable Tranche (Tranche A, Tranche B or Tranche C) as set forth on Schedule I, and after giving effect to any reallocation of its Existing Term Loans to the applicable Tranches specified on Schedule I in Dollars to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the amount, if any,

-46-

by which (x) the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment for any applicable Tranche described in clause (a) of the definition thereof exceeds (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Existing Term Loans (after giving effect to any reallocation of its Existing Term Loans to the applicable Tranches specified on Schedule I), if any (it being agreed that a Term Loan Lender shall not be required to make an Additional Term Loan on the Effective Date absent such an excess). Upon a Term Loan Lender’s funding of its Additional Term Loan to the applicable Tranche(s), if required, on the Effective Date, the Term Loan Commitment of such Term Loan Lender shall terminate, and upon completion of the reallocations pursuant to Section 2.17. on the Effective Date, the Term Loan Commitments of all other Term Loan Lenders shall terminate. Amounts deemed outstanding or borrowed under this Section 2.2(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) Notwithstanding the division of the Term Loan into Tranches, all Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall rank pari passu in right of payment except as otherwise set forth herein.

(d) Requests for Term Loans. For each request by the Borrower for a Tranche A Borrowing, Tranche B Borrowing, or Tranche C Borrowing on the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Term Loan Notice of Borrowing. Each Term Loan Notice of Borrowing shall specify whether the Borrower is requesting a Tranche A Borrowing, Tranche B Borrowing, or Tranche C Borrowing, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed, the date such Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), and the Type of the requested Term Loans. Each Term Loan Notice of Borrowing or any telephonic notice of a borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Effective Date, the loans outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement will be deemed to be outstanding as Term Loans hereunder and the existing LIBOR rates and Interest Periods applicable thereto will remain in place for purposes of determining LIBOR with respect to the interest rate thereon until the end of the applicable interest period (unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof).

(e) Funding of Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Term Loan Notice of Borrowing under subsection (d) of this Section and subject to Section 5.1., the Agent shall notify each Term Loan Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Term Loans to be made by such Term Loan Lender to the Borrower with the Agent at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent) on the date of such proposed Term Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b) Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender

-48-

and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender and the Agent prior written notice thereof no later than 1:00 p.m. on the day prior to the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan on demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 p.m. on proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing.

The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. At the time each Swingline Loan is made, each Revolving Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage in such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g), upon notice from the Agent or the Swingline Lender, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in respect of such participation the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swingline Loan. A Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(f) or (g)), or the termination of any Revolving Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent,

-49-

any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Revolving Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

Section 2.4. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to clause (b) below with respect to any Extended Letters of Credit and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.15., the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower (which may be for the benefit of a Subsidiary) during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount then in effect.

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit may not extend beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date, and (ii) no Letter of Credit shall have an initial duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision (satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Bank) providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Revolver Maturity Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrower delivers to the Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. In such event, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower

-50-

fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Maturity Date or any earlier date as required by Section 2.14, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with subsections (i) and (j) of this Section, with the proceeds being deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Agent).

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Agent written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing Bank. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date five (5) Business Days following the date after which the Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of subsection (i) of this Section such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

-51-

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in subsection (d) of this Section, the Borrower shall advise the Agent and the Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent and the Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation (each an “L/C Borrowing”) and the Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled or terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Bank, Agent or any of the Revolving Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or

-52-

of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, Agent or the Revolving Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in good faith in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Agent or any Revolving Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of subsection (e) of this Section, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Bank, the Agent or any Revolving Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Agent, any Revolving Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit so long as any such gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct is determined to have occurred by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Agent and Requisite Class Lenders holding Revolving Loans (or all of the Revolving Lenders if required by Section 12.7.) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the second to last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).

-53-

(i) Revolving Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon (i) the Effective Date with respect to all Existing Letters of Credit and (ii) the date of issuance by the Issuing Bank of any other Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the subsection (j) of this Section, such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank, Agent or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to the third, the second-to last and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(c)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section; provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 12:00 p.m., then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(f) or (g), (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments, or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Revolving Lenders. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Revolving Lender any information reasonably requested by such Revolving Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other

-54-

than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Revolving Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under subsection (j) of this Section.

(l) Extended Letters of Credit. Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under subsections (i) and (j) of this Section shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise

(m) Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders agree that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.4.(m) (each an “Existing Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be a “Letter of Credit” issued and outstanding under this Agreement subject to the terms of this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) with respect to Revolving Loans, (x) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) applicable to Revolving Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR applicable to Revolving Loans for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans;

(ii) with respect to Tranche A Loans, (x) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) applicable to Tranche A Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche A Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR applicable to Tranche A Loans for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche A Loans that are LIBOR Loans;

(iii) with respect to Tranche B Loans, (x) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) applicable to Tranche B Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR applicable to Tranche B Loans for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans that are LIBOR Loans; and

(iv) with respect to Tranche C Loans, (x) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) applicable to Tranche C

-55-

Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche C Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR applicable to Tranche C Loans for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for Tranche C Loans that are LIBOR Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.1.(a), 10.1.(b), 10.1.(f) or 10.1(g), and, at the election of the Required Lenders during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Class of Lenders and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of each Class of Loans made by such Lender, on the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Credit Rating Election. From and after the occurrence of the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Borrower may make a one-time irrevocable election upon written notice to the Agent to utilize its Credit Rating in determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee, pursuant to the relevant table set forth in the definition of Applicable Margin and Applicable Facility Fee, respectively.

(c) Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each (a) (i) Base Rate Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) LIBOR Loan shall be payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan exceeds three (3) months, interest shall be payable on such LIBOR Loan on the respective dates that fall every three (3) months after the beginning of such Interest Period and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, commencing with the first such date occurring after the Effective Date, and (b) in all cases, on any date on which the principal balance of such Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such

-56-

additional interest or fees due to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.6. Number of Interest Periods. There may be no more than (a) seven (7) different Interest Periods for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans and (b) seven (7) different Interest Periods for Term Loans (inclusive of all Tranches) that are LIBOR Loans, collectively, outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous).

Section 2.7. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, (i) the Revolving Loans on the Revolver Maturity Date, (ii) the Tranche A Loans on the Tranche A Maturity Date, (iii) the Tranche B Loans on the Tranche B Maturity Date, and (iv) the Tranche C Loans on the Tranche C Maturity Date. Without limitation of the foregoing, Swingline Loans shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.3.(e).

Section 2.8. Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Section 4.4., the Borrower may prepay any Revolving Loan, Tranche A Loan and Tranche B Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower’s prepayment of any Tranche C Loan will be subject to, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay, a (i) 2.00% penalty on the principal amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs during the first twelve (12) months following the Effective Date and (ii) 1.00% penalty on the principal amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs during months thirteen (13) through twenty-four (24) following the Effective Date (each such penalty, a “Prepayment Penalty”), such Prepayment Penalties to be for the pro rata account of the Tranche C Lenders. Beginning in the twenty-fifth (25) month following the Effective Date, subject to Section 4.4, the Borrower may prepay any Tranche C Loan without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8.(a) of any Base Rate Loans and at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8.(a) of any LIBOR Loans, specifying the Class of Loan to be prepaid, the proposed date of prepayment of such Loan and the principal amount to be prepaid, and, if such prepayment is to be contingent on the consummation of a refinancing or other capital transaction, as set forth in the following proviso, notice that such prepayment is so contingent; provided, however, that such notice of proposed prepayment may be revoked or modified in connection with an optional prepayment of Loans at any time on or prior to the date of prepayment if such prepayment is contingent, and notice of such contingency has been provided pursuant to this sentence, on the consummation of a refinancing or other capital transaction that does not close on the originally anticipated closing date. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans of the same Class shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such Class then being repaid. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant

-57-

to Section 4.4 and, in addition, any prepayment of a Tranche C Loan shall be accompanied by any applicable Prepayment Penalty.

(b) Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect at such time, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day of the occurrence of such excess pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (b)(1) shall be made without premium or penalty (subject to Section 4.4) and be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans first to Swingline Loans, second to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and third to LIBOR Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this subsection prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

Section 2.9. Continuation. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 10:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of written communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans, Class and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.10. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

-58-

Section 2.10. Conversion. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of written communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted in accordance with Section 2.5. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.

Section 2.13. Extension of Revolver Maturity Date.

-60-

Subject to the terms of this Section 2.13., the Borrower shall have the right to extend the Revolver Maturity Date two (2) times by six (6) months each time. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent at least thirty (30) days but not more than ninety (90) days prior to the then current Revolver Maturity Date, a written notice of such extension (an “Revolver Extension Notice”). The Agent shall forward to each Revolving Lender a copy of any such Revolver Extension Notice delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolver Maturity Date then in effect shall be extended for six (6) months: (x) upon the giving of such Revolver Extension Notice and on the Revolver Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) and immediately after giving effect thereto, (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and (b) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent otherwise qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent otherwise qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents; provided that, for purposes of Section 5.2., the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1.(k) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 8.1. and Section 8.2., (y) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(d), and (z) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a Compliance Certificate executed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of the Parent evidencing that the Borrower shall be in compliance with each of the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the extension of the Revolver Maturity Date and certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(a) and (x)(b). The Revolver Maturity Date may be extended only twice (for a period of six (6) months on each occasion) pursuant to this Section 2.13.

Section 2.14. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolver Maturity Date.

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder with respect to which the Borrower has not complied with the conditions set forth in the third sentence of Section 2.4.(b) (without regard to any time period specified therein), the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank, an amount of money equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the payment made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If at any time the amount on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceeds an amount of money

-61-

equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit, then, upon the Borrower’s written request, Agent shall promptly deliver such excess to an account designated in writing by the Borrower.

Section 2.15. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Revolving Lender shall be required to make a Revolving Loan, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit, and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of any such Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time and (ii) no Term Loan Lender shall be required to make a Term Loan if immediately after the making of any such Term Loan, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans would exceed the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments at such time or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of any of its Term Loans would exceed its Tranche A Commitment, Tranche B Commitment and/or Tranche C Commitment, as applicable.

Section 2.16. Increase in Revolving Commitments; Additional Term Loans.

(a) With the prior written consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Borrower shall have the right (i) during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolver Maturity Date, to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, and (i) during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the latest Maturity Date of any Term Loan to request the making of additional term loans (which increase may take the form of new term loan tranches or increasing the size of an existing Tranche) (the “Additional Term Loans”). In no event shall the aggregate increases in Revolving Commitments and Additional Term Loans, taken together, exceed $300,000,000. Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments or borrowing of an Additional Term Loan must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower). In connection with any such increase in the Revolving Commitments, the amount of the Swingline Commitment shall increase by a proportionate amount, rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000. The Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments and the making of any Additional Term Loans, including decisions with the consent of the Borrower as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to any such increase or making of Additional Term Loans and the allocations of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment, to provide a new Revolving Commitment or to make an Additional Term Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in

-62-

connection with any such requested increase of the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans must be an Eligible Assignee.

(b) If a new Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Revolving Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment hereunder) (and, in each case, as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage determined with respect to the Revolving Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders at the Agent’s Head Office, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Revolving Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 4.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.

(c) The effectiveness of any increase of the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans under this Section is subject to the satisfaction of following conditions precedent: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents, (iii) the Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent: (1) if not previously delivered to the Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Additional Term Loans and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase of the Revolving Commitments or Additional Term Loans; (2) if requested by the Agent, an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Agent (provided that the Borrower and the Guarantors shall only be required to deliver the legal opinions required by Section 5.1.(a)(iv) if so requested by the Agent); and (3) new Revolving Notes and new Term Notes, as applicable, executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders providing a Revolving Commitment and/or an Additional Term Loan and to any existing Lenders providing an Additional Term Loan, and replacement Notes

(d) The effectiveness of any increase of the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans under this Section is subject to the following:

(i) each increase in the Revolving Commitments and any Additional Term Loans shall constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be guaranteed with the other Loans on a pari passu basis or, in the case of any Additional Term Loans taking the form of a new term loan tranche, may be on a lesser basis;

(ii) in the case of each Additional Term Loan taking the form of a new term loan tranche, this Agreement shall be amended, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, the Borrower and the lenders in respect of such term loan tranche, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan commitment; provided that the interest rates, Applicable Margin, pricing grid, upfront fees, maturity, prepayment premiums or penalties and other economic terms applicable to such term loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders holding commitments in such term loan tranche; provided further that the scheduled maturity date of any Additional Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Tranche A Maturity Date;

(iii) in the case of each increase in the Revolving Commitments or the amount of an existing Tranche:

(x) any upfront fees shall be determined by the Lenders participating in such increase and the Borrower; and

(y) all of the other terms and conditions applicable to such increase shall be identical to the terms and conditions applicable Class being increased; and

(iv) (x) any Lender participating in an increase of the Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Lenders and shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving Loans made hereunder; and (y) any Lender participating in an increase of an existing Tranche shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Term Loan Lenders under such Tranche and shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Term Loans outstanding under such Tranche.

(e) In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and the making of any Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16. any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction

-64-

outside of the United States of America, provide to the Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

(f) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.16., any increase of the Revolving Commitments and the making of any Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16. shall be effected pursuant to one or more amendments to, or an amendment and restatement of, this Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Agent and the applicable Lenders participating in such increase of the Revolving Commitments or the making of such Additional Term Loans (which may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16.).

(g) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.3 or 12.7 to the contrary.

Section 2.17. Reallocations.

The Agent, the Borrower and each Lender agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the amount of each of the Commitments of such Lender is as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) of each of the Revolving Lenders under the Existing Revolver Agreement, and the outstanding Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) and the participations of the Revolving Lenders in the Existing Letters of Credit and outstanding Swingline Loans (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) thereunder shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages hereunder (it being acknowledged that, on the Effective Date, the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Revolver Agreement will be deemed to be outstanding as Revolving Loans hereunder and the existing LIBOR rates and Interest Periods applicable thereto will remain in place for purposes of determining LIBOR with respect to the interest rate thereon until the end of the applicable interest period (unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof)), and (b) the Existing Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be reallocated among the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments hereunder. To effect such reallocations, (x) each Revolving Lender who either had no Commitment (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or whose Revolving Commitment upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds its Commitment (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Revolving Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Revolving Commitments from the Revolving Lenders whose Revolving Commitments are less than their respective Commitments (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Revolving Lender”) and all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Commitment (as defined in the Existing Revolver Agreement) of Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania (the “Exiting Lender”), the Commitment of which shall be terminated on the Effective Date and which shall cease

-65-

to be a Lender, so that the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender will be as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, and (y) each Term Loan Lender, which either held no Existing Term Loan or whose Term Loan Commitment upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds its Existing Term Loan (each an “Assignee Term Loan Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased from the Term Loan Lenders whose Term Loan Commitments are less than the Existing Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders (each an “Assignor Term Loan Lender”) all right, title and interest in, that portion of the Existing Term Loans that exceeds the Term Loan Commitments of the Assignor Term Loan Lenders and all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Existing Term Loans of the Exiting Lender so that the Term Loans are held by the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, and with respect to each Term Loan Lender whose Term Loans are being assigned in their entirety, such Term Loan Lender shall cease to be a Term Loan Lender. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment and Assumptions without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for Notes to be provided to the Assignor Revolving Lenders, Assignee Revolving Lenders, Assignor Term Loan Lenders, and Assignee Term Loan Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Commitments of the applicable Class, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Revolving Lenders, the Assignee Revolving Lenders, the Assignor Term Loan Lender, the Assignee Term Loan Lenders, the Exiting Lenders and the other Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Agent, as the Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the Effective Date and any netting transactions effected by the Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Class and Tranche of Loans shall be held by the Lenders of such Class and Tranche pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Commitments of such Class (determined without giving effect to any termination of Commitments effected by the making of any such Loans) of the Lenders of such Class and Tranche.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.11), to the Agent at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 10.4., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied, and with respect to the Term Loans, the Tranche to which such payment shall be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Agent from time to time,

-66-

for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by the Issuing Bank to the Agent from time to time, for the account of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b) Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a), 2.3.(e) and 2.4.(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under Sections 3.5.(a) and 3.5.(b), the first sentence of Section 3.5(c), and Section 3.5.(d) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.12. or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2(a) shall be made from the Term Loan Lenders pro rata for each Tranche according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments applicable to the respective Tranches; (c) each payment or prepayment of principal of a Class of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.10., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) each payment of interest

-67-

on a Class of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Class of Loans then due and payable to the respective Class of Lenders; (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Class or Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Loans of such Class and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.3., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; and (f) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Revolving Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan of a Class made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders of the same Class in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders of such Class participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans of such Class made by the other Lenders of such Class or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders of such Class shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 10.4., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders of such Class shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender of such Class so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to the other Lenders of such Class may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans of such Class in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

-68-

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans times the daily average undrawn Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each calendar year, (ii) the Revolver Maturity Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero, and (iii) after such date described in clause (ii), from time to time on demand of the Agent. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account and not the account of any Revolving Lender, an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to 0.125% of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. The Fees provided

-69-

for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable upon issuance. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the letter of credit fee shall continue to accrue after the Revolver Maturity Date at the rate in effect on the Revolver Maturity Date for the benefit of the Issuing Bank with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit and shall be paid as set forth above during any period of extension.

(d) Extension Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Revolver Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.13., the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, each time it exercises such right, a fee equal to 0.075% of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized) at the time of such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the date the Agent receives a Revolver Extension Notice pursuant to such Section.

(e) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as provided in the Fee Letter and such other fees and as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 3.6. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, any accrued interest on any Base Rate Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.8. Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Sections 2.5.(a), 2.5.(b) and 2.3.(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges,

-70-

increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.9. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.10. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders, subject to Section 12.7.(c).

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X. or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. 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 Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank

-71-

or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender 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 Loans of any Class or amounts required to have been funded by the Revolving Lenders under Section 2.3.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of such Class of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans of such Class and, as applicable, funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the subsection (d) of this Section) and all Term Loans are held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata for the applicable Tranche as if there had been no Defaulting Lenders in such Class or Tranche. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(a) or Section 3.5(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, subject to clause (iii) below) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.10.(e).

(iii) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.10(c), the Borrower shall (x) pay to the Agent for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.10.(d), (y) pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any

-72-

such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee, if any.

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. In the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article V. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If the reallocations described in this section 3.10(d) are not affected, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 (including the consents required thereunder). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment and satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 12.6, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees.

(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i) If the reallocation described in subsection (d) of this Section above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect

-73-

to subsection (d) of this Section and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligations of Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section 3.10(e). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the obligation of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the subsection (b) of this Section, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, and solely in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, 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 (which, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters

-74-

of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the subsection (d) of this Section), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 3.11. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

-75-

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section 3.11(f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), 2 executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor

-76-

form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty and, in either case, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1;

(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

-77-

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this

-78-

subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered within 15 days after presentation to the Borrower by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof pursuant to such Lender’s customary practice.

(b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower shall, within 15 days after receipt by Borrower of a reasonably detailed invoice for such Additional Costs, pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

-79-

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or

(iii) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.

(c) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(d) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Revolving Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine

-80-

in good faith to be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent, Issuing Bank, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent), provided, further, that (i) the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and (ii) neither the Agent nor a Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to submit a claim for compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section unless such Person shall have determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims (it being agreed that neither the Agent nor a Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim). The Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of the Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant to the Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section and stating that such claim is consistent with such Person’s general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims. Determinations by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 4.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR; or

(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are

-81-

not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 4.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make, maintain or fund Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based on LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each requesting Lender, upon the request of the Agent, such amount or amounts as the Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(f) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(g) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan

-82-

for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date (but in any event excluding lost profits). Upon the Borrower’s request, the Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis.

Section 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent, as applicable), and, unless and until such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1., Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans (with the Base Rate being determined without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate if required by such Lender); and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans (with the Base Rate being determined without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate if required by such Lender).

If such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 4.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.11. or 4.1., and Lenders constituting Required Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR

-83-

Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. but the obligation of Lenders constituting Required Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, (c) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which, pursuant to Section 12.7., requires the vote of such Lender, and the Required Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as there does not then exist any Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.3.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.11., 4.1. or 4.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 4.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.11., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 4.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

If after the Investment Grade Rating Date and release of Material Subsidiaries and Other Subsidiary Guarantors from the Guaranty pursuant to the following subsection (b), the Borrower does not continue to maintain an Investment Grade Rating, then within 10 Business Days of such occurrence, the Borrower shall cause each Material Subsidiary and each other Subsidiary required in order to permit the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 7.12(c), to deliver to the Agent a new Guaranty in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto or, as applicable, an Accession Agreement executed by each Material Subsidiary and Other Subsidiary Guarantor, if applicable, and each of the items that would have been delivered under clauses (iv) through (viii) of Section 5.1.(a) with respect to each Material Subsidiary (or Other Subsidiary Guarantor) as if each Material Subsidiary (or Other Subsidiary Guarantor) had been a Material Subsidiary Guarantor (or Other Subsidiary Guarantor) on the Agreement Date (provided that the Borrower shall only be required to deliver the legal opinions required by Section 5.1.(a)(iv) if so requested by the Agent), and the first sentence of this subsection (a) shall be effective with respect to any Person that becomes a Material Subsidiary thereafter, notwithstanding that the Investment Grade Rating Date had previously occurred.

All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders; provided, however, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the payment made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Agent may (and, if instructed by the Required Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.4.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever,

-124-

such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. When this Agreement has terminated pursuant to Section 12.11., all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 10.6. Performance by Agent.

If any Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure has continued after the expiration of any cure or grace period set forth herein, the Agent may, after notice to the Borrower (which such notice shall serve as notice to the applicable Loan Parties), perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Loan Party. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.7. Rights Cumulative.

(a) Generally. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives Providers in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b) Enforcement by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider, as

-125-

the case may be) hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as applicable, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.4. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to Article X. and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE XI. THE AGENT

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “administrative agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Parent or the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Parent, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders

-126-

and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders have directed the Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 11.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 11.3. Notice of Defaults.

-127-

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.4. Agent as Lender.

The Lender acting as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include KeyBank in each case in its individual capacity. KeyBank and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 11.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Parent or the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such

-128-

communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to amendments, waivers or consents that require the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to Section 12.7.(b).

Section 11.6. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to the Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to the Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

Section 11.7. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,

-129-

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Agent) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.8. Successor Agent.

The Agent (a) may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower or (b) may be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than any Lender that is serving as the Agent or is an affiliate of the Agent) acting unanimously or, if the Agent is then a Defaulting Lender, by the Required Lenders (in each case other than the Lender then acting as Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 days' prior written notice if the Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event

-130-

of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or upon the removal of the current Agent, then the current Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (2) all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly and (3) all determinations provided to be made by the Agent shall instead be made by the Required Lenders, until such time as a successor Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and the Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by, or removal of, the Agent shall also constitute the resignation by, or removal of, the Lender then acting as Agent as the Issuing Bank and as the Swingline Lender (the “Resigning Lender”), except that such Lender, in its capacity as Issuing Bank, shall continue to have obligations under the Letters of Credit issued prior to such resignation or removal until a successor Agent is appointed (and shall be afforded all of the protections and rights of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 11.9. Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Title Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents

-131-

to the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Failure of a Person

-133-

Section 12.2. Expenses.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expense and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent relating to all such activities; provided, that, with respect to this clause (a) only, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Agent and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Agent in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (the “Lender Parties”) for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Parent, the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Lender Parties for fees and expenses in connection with the matters described in items (b) and (d) shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Lender Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Lender Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant

-134-

jurisdiction to the affected Lender Parties similarly situated. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be due and payable within 15 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of the Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of the Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Required Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.3., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders.

Section 12.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the subsection (f) of this Section. Subject to the last sentence of the subsection (b) of this Section, any attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto not permitted by clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (A) of this Section 12.6(b)(i), the aggregate amount of a specific Class of Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Class of Commitments is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the applicable Class of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than

-137-

$5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Commitment or a Loan, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender, or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Commitment or Loan then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within 10 Business Days after having received written notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment of the same Class, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500 for each assignment (which fee the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries

-138-

or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to the subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the subsection (d) of this Section.

-139-

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent’s Head Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.16. or any extension as contemplated under Section 2.13., it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.1. or 5.2. or of any Default or Event of Default (other than under Sections 10.1.(a) or (b)) and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase in the Commitments of any Lender, provided that the consent of 100% of the Lenders voting in favor of an acceleration of the Obligations or a termination of the Commitments shall be required to effect the termination of any such acceleration or the reinstatement of such Commitments), (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except as contemplated under Section 2.13., it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, and the forbearance with respect thereto is not considered such an extension, provided that 100% of the Lenders voting in favor of an acceleration of the Obligations shall be required to effect the termination of any such acceleration), (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (I) amend the definition of “Post-Default Rate”, to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Post-Default Rate or to retract the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and (II) amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any Fee payable based on such financial covenant or (z) release all or substantially all of the value of obligations under the Guaranty, except as contemplated by Section 7.12.(b) on or at any time after the Investment Grade Rating Date, in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections

-140-

3.11., 4.1. and 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.11.(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.11.(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1. or 3.11., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (and is maintained in accordance with Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations) (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.11., 4.1. and 4.4. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent which consent may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion. A Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent, to comply with Section 3.11.(f) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or under any

-141-

of the other Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent exercised in their sole discretion, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(h) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Agent to comply with federal law.

Section 12.7. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders (or the Agent at the written direction of the Required Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating solely to the rights or obligations of the Lenders of a particular Class, and not Lenders of any other Class, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders for such Class of Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is a party thereto).

(b) Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1. (other than Section 5.1.(xiii) with respect to payment of Fees due on the Closing Date, which shall require only the consent of the Persons directly affected thereby), or, in the case of the initial extension of credit hereunder on the Effective Date, Section 5.2., without the written consent of each Lender;

(ii) extend or increase (or reinstate) the Commitment of any Lender (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 12.6.

-142-

and any increases contemplated under Section 2.16. and any extension contemplated under Section 2.13.) without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that, subject to clause (b)(i) above, a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.1. or 5.2. or of any Default or Event of Default (other than under Sections 10.1.(a) or (b)) and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase in, or extension or reinstatement of, the Commitments of any Lender, provided that the consent of 100% of the Lenders voting in favor of an acceleration of the Obligations or a termination of the Commitments shall be required to effect the termination of any such acceleration or the reinstatement of such Commitments);

(iv) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to or for the account of a Lender without the written consent of such Lender; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce any Fee payable based on such financial covenant;

(x) while any Term Loans are outstanding, amend, modify or waive (A) Section 5.2.

or other action by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances .

(e) Term Loans; Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.7., this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with only the written consent of Agent and the Borrower (a) to provide for the making of Additional Term Loans as contemplated by Section 2.16. and to permit the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and other Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such Term Loans in any determination of the Required Lenders and Requisite Class Lenders. Furthermore, this Agreement may be amended to extend the Commitments and/or Revolving Loans outstanding pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section.

(f) Technical Amendments. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.7., if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(g) Amend and Extend Transactions. (i) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the Maturity Date of any Class of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments to the extended Maturity Date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (C) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of such Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

-146-

(ii) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1. and in each other Loan Document shall be deemed to be made and shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the effective date of such Extension except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents, (C) the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit or making of Swingline Loans at any time during the extended period and (D) the terms of such Extended Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with subclause (iii) of this Section 12.7.(g).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Commitments or Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 12.7.(g). unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.

(iii) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the Class of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans subject to such Extension, (B)(x) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Commitments and (y) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension, (C) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees (including the payment of upfront fees only to the Lenders accepting such Extension), original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E)(x) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (Y) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Loans or Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Loans and

-147-

Commitments) and (F) the terms of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in subclauses (A) through (E) above).

(iv) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension.

Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 12.7.(g).

Section 12.8. Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Parent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party to review or inform the Parent or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Parent’s or the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 12.9. Confidentiality.

The Agent, the Titled Agents, the Issuing Bank and each Lender shall not disclose to any person (except as permitted in this Section 12.9) and shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other respective Related Parties (including their independent auditors and other professional advisors) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will either be subject to customary confidentiality obligations of employment or professional practice or agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 12.9. (or language substantially similar to this Section)); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment

-148-

or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case the Agent, the applicable Titled Agent, the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, agrees to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation and reasonably practicable, to inform the Borrower in advance thereof); (d) [reserved]; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (it being understood that 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); (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent (so long as such source is not actually known to the Agent, such Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates); (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it (it being understood that 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); (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Parent or the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from, or on behalf of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate. 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.

Section 12.10. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, all of the Affiliates of each of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the

-149-

“Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.11. or 4.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that violates a sanction administered or enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Parent or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders and/or the Issuing Bank as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses: (i) arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under any Loan Document, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, or (ii) arise from any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties (except in connection with claims or disputes (1) relating to whether the conditions to any Credit Event have been satisfied, (2) with respect to a Defaulting Lender or the determination of whether a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and (3) with or against the Agent or the Arrangers in their respective capacities as such). This Section 12.9.(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes addressed in Section 3.11. or yield maintenance obligations described in Section 4.1. and Section 4.4. It is understood that, with respect to any particular action, suit, proceeding or investigation subject to indemnification hereunder, the Credit Parties shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and

-150-

expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to up to one local outside counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel) for all Indemnified Parties that are the subject of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of one additional outside counsel to the affected parties (along with one additional local outside counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one additional regulatory counsel).

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Parent or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Parent, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

-151-

(g) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

(h) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

Section 12.11. Termination; Survival.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated, expired or been canceled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required in Section 2.3.(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and the Issuing Bank is no longer obligated under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence and contingent obligations that have not yet been asserted) have been paid and satisfied in full in cash. Promptly following such termination, upon the Borrower’s written request, each Lender shall promptly return to the Borrower any Note issued to such Lender. The indemnities to which the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.11., 4.1., 4.4., 7.9, 11.7., 12.2. and 12.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.5., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Agent agrees to deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.

Section 12.12. Severability of Provisions.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.13. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 12.14. Counterparts.

-152-

To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

Section 12.15. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Parent and the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Parent or the Borrower may have that the Parent or the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

Section 12.16. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Parent or the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or any of the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 12.17. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 12.18. Construction.

The Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, the Parent and the Borrower acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an

-153-

opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, the Parent and the Borrower.

Section 12.19. Headings.

The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.

Section 12.20. Patriot Act.

The Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with such Patriot Act.

Section 12.21. Effect of Existing Revolver Agreement and Existing Term Loan Agreement.

(a) Existing Credit Facilities. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.1. and 5.2. of this Agreement with respect to the first Credit Event hereunder on the Effective Date, this Agreement shall exclusively control and govern the mutual rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the Existing Revolver Agreement and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, and the Existing Revolver Agreement and the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement in all respects, in each case, on a prospective basis only.

(b) NO NOVATION. THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY TO AMEND, RESTATE AND CONSOLIDATE THE TERMS OF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OWING UNDER AND IN CONNECTION WITH, THE EXISTING REVOLVER AGREEMENT AND THE EXISTING TERM LOAN AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXISTING REVOLVER AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE EXISTING REVOLVER AGREEMENT) AND THE EXISTING TERM LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE EXISTING TERM LOAN AGREEMENT).

Section 12.22. Non-Recourse to the Parent.

This Agreement and the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are fully recourse to the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the Parent as a Loan Party, other

-154-

than as expressly provided in the Parent Guaranty, the Parent is not a guarantor of the Obligations of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any applicable law that would make the owner of a partnership or general partner liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership, nothing contained herein or in the Loan Documents shall be construed to create or impose upon the Parent or any limited partner of the Borrower (in its capacity as such), any obligation with respect to the repayment of Indebtedness hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 12.22 shall be deemed to (i) release the Borrower or any Guarantor from any liability pursuant to, or from any of its obligations under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) constitute a waiver of any Obligation arising under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iii) limit the rights of the Agent or any of the Lenders to pursue any right or remedy or any judgment against, or proceed against or realize upon the assets of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or (iv) release the Parent, in its capacity as the general partner of the Borrower, from any Obligations other than the obligation to repay the Indebtedness hereunder, or release the Parent from any personal liability for the failure of the Parent, including in its capacity as the general partner of the Borrower, to satisfy and comply with all of the covenants and agreements (x) of the Parent set forth in Sections 7.14., 9.2. or 9.14. of this Agreement or under the Parent Guaranty or (y) in its capacity as the general partner of the Borrower, of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement. In addition, (i) the Parent shall be fully liable to the Agent and the Lenders to the same extent that the Parent would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.22 for fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Obligations or any Loan Documents (to the full extent of losses suffered by the Agent or any Lender by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentation) and (ii) nothing in this Section 12.22 shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which the Agent may have under §506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto or similar provisions under applicable state law to file a claim against the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors for the full amount of the Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Borrower herein to cause the Parent to comply with the provisions hereof or to do or refrain from doing or taking certain actions as set forth herein will not be construed to depend upon the Borrower’s ability to do so or upon any actual control of the Parent by the Borrower and it shall not be a defense to any failure by the Borrower to comply with such obligations that the Borrower did not actually control the Parent.

THIS GUARANTY dated as of December 4, 2015, executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of an Accession Agreement (as defined below) (all of the undersigned, together with such other Persons each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of December 4, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among First Potomac Realty Investment Limited Partnership, as Borrower, First Potomac Realty Trust, as Parent, the financial institutions party thereto as Lenders and their assignees under Section 12.6. thereof (the “Lenders”), KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank, their respective Related Parties, the Specified Derivatives Providers and each other Person to whom any Obligation is owed are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Guarantied Parties”.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Specified Derivatives Providers may from time to time enter into Specified Derivatives Contracts with the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and to enter into Specified Derivatives Contracts, through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and from the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

I-1

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees (in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement) and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party thereunder (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) all Specified Derivatives Obligations; (c) all other Obligations; (d) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments, replacements or substitutions of the foregoing; and (e) in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement, all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder; provided that no Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor be a guarantor of the Specified Derivatives Obligations.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than the full and indefeasible payment in cash

I-2

and performance of the Guarantied Obligations), including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c) any furnishing to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(h) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

I-3

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(j) any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties;

(k) any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(l) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, Specified Derivatives Contract or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties may, in a manner not in contravention of the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3, and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations, increasing the amount of the Loans made or available to be made under the Credit Agreement or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties shall elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full. Such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be made by each Guarantor each time the Borrower is required to make representations and warranties under the Credit Agreement.

I-4

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower has agreed to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and will refrain from taking any actions that the Borrower has agreed not to permit it to take under the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents.

Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guarantee hereunder by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to any Specified Derivative Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Specified Derivative Obligations as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Specified Derivative Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering the Borrower’s or such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of the Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. The Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this paragraph to constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act ((7 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, herein, the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The term “Guarantor”, as used in this Guaranty, shall, where the context so requires, include the Borrower to the extent the Borrower has any obligations under the “keepwell” provisions hereof.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

I-5

or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party. The Administrative Agent will endeavor to provide notice to such Guarantor (which notice may be through the Borrower) of any such claim and any settlement or compromise resulting therefrom, provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide any such notice shall not be a breach hereof and shall not in any way limit or alter the provisions of this Section 9 or create any liability of the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

I-6

prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders exercised in their respective sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom. If an Event of Default shall exist, then, except as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

I-7

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL

I-8

NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOAN AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 12.11 of the Credit Agreement and the termination of all Specified Derivatives Contracts in accordance with their respective terms.

Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to

I-9

which the Administrative Agent and all of the Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR (BUT NOT ITS LIMITED PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS OR MEMBERS IN SUCH CAPACITIES (AS OPPOSED TO IN THEIR SEPARATE CAPACITY AS A GUARANTOR, IF APPLICABLE)) CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

WHEREAS, Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and from the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts and, accordingly, Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein (such guarantee to be subject to the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event (as defined below), as more fully set forth herein); and

J-1

WHEREAS, Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Guarantor, upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees (in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement) and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party thereunder (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) all Specified Derivatives Obligations; (c) all other Obligations; (d) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments, restatements or substitutions of the foregoing; and (e) in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement, all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Guaranty, this Guaranty and the limitations contained herein do not, and are not intended to, limit the provisions of, or the obligations of the Guarantor as described in, Section 12.22 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Guarantor, upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent

J-2

or the Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than the full and indefeasible payment in cash and performance of the Guarantied Obligations, including without limitation, the following (whether or not Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;

J-3

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(k) any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(l) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, Specified Derivatives Contract or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties may, in a manner not in contravention of the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, and without discharging Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3, and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations, increasing the amount of the Loans made or available to be made under the Credit Agreement or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including, without limitation, Guarantor); and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties shall elect in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 5. [Reserved.]

Section 6. [Reserved.]

J-4

Section 7. Waiver. Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations, after the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event Guarantor agrees that, following the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Guarantor shall be and remain liable, following the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party. The Administrative Agent will endeavor to provide notice to Guarantor (which notice may be through the Borrower) of any such claim and any settlement or compromise resulting therefrom, provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide any such notice shall not be a breach hereof and shall not in any way limit or alter the provisions of this Section 9 or create any liability of the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be

J-5

credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, and if Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only so long as a Springing Recourse Event has occurred), without any prior notice to Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders exercised in their respective sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom. If an Event of Default shall exist, then, except as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Guarantor shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against Guarantor in such

J-6

Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and Guarantor or any other Person shall not have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY

J-7

OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTOR, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

J-8

Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to Guarantor shall be deemed to include Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or Guarantor. Guarantor may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and all of the Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. GUARANTOR (BUT NOT ITS LIMITED PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS OR MEMBERS IN SUCH CAPACITIES (AS OPPOSED TO IN THEIR SEPARATE CAPACITY AS A GUARANTOR, IF APPLICABLE)) CONFIRMS THAT, SUBJECT TO THE OCCURRENCE OF A SPRINGING RECOURSE EVENT, IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS UNDER ANY SEPARATE GUARANTY IN FAVOR OF THE AGENT AND/OR THE LENDERS.

Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent on demand therefor.

Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement or Specified Derivatives Contract, as applicable, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other

J-9

communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any Specified Derivatives Contract. Further, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties or any of the Administrative Agent’s or of any Guarantied Parties’, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

Section 29. Electronic Delivery of Certain Information. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that information regarding the Guarantor may be delivered electronically pursuant to Section 8.6. of the Credit Agreement.

Section 30. Existing Guaranties. Upon the effectiveness of this Guaranty, each of (i) the Guaranty, dated as of October 16, 2013, in connection with the Existing Revolver Agreement, and (ii) the Guaranty, dated as of October 16, 2013, in connection with the Existing Term Loan Agreement, are terminated and superseded by this Guaranty, except for any obligations with respect to the waiver of jury trial contained in Section 17 of each of such Guaranties that expressly survive the termination thereof.
