CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 30, 2008, among MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time, and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).  All capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 11 are used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower the respective credit facilities provided for herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

SECTION 1.Amount and Terms of Credit.

1.01  The Commitments.  (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed for any Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time, and (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount at such time.

(b)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (exclusive of Revolving Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Swingline Loans) then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence

of Swingline Loans) at such time, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans (exclusive of Revolving Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Swingline Loans) then outstanding, the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount at such time, and (vi) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.01(b), (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

(c)On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount at such time.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as

2

shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

1.02  Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing.  The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Loans.  More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate.

1.03  Notice of Borrowing.  (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such day.  Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify:  (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (iii) whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b)(i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

3

(ii)Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(c), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in
Section 1.01(c).

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

1.04  Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(c)), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 1.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof).  All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day thereafter) pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter, and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08.  Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

4

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

(b)The Revolving Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Effective Date (or, if issued after the Effective Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender (or, if issued after the termination thereof, be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender at such time) and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c)The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Effective Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 4.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

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

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 1.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes.  No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents.  Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing

5

its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (d).  At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender, at the Borrower’s expense, the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

1.06  Conversions.  The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one Type of Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Revolving Loan, provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Revolving Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans if (x) a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 is in existence on the date of the conversion or (y) any other Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has received instructions from the Required Lenders to that effect, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 1.02.  Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Revolving Loans.  Upon any such conversion the proceeds thereof will be deemed to be applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being converted.   Swingline Loans may not be converted pursuant to this Section 1.06.

1.07  ProRata Borrowings.  All Borrowings of Revolving Loans (including Mandatory Borrowings) under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages.  It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

1.08  Interest.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06 or 1.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such

6

Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c)Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time.  Interest that accrues under this Section 1.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

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

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

1.09  Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans.  At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period, provided that (in each case):

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

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

7

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

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

(v)no Interest Period may be selected at any time when (x) a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 is then in existence or (y) any other Default or Event of Default is then in existence and the Administrative Agent has received instructions from the Required Lenders to that effect; and

(vi)no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Eurodollar Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

If by 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

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

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

(ii)at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to:  (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for (x) taxes with respect to which additional amounts are paid pursuant to Section 4.04 or (y) changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net

8

profits (or any franchise or similar tax imposed in lieu of a net income or net profits tax) of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

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

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b).

9

(c)If any Lender determines that after the date on which it became a Lender hereunder the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital.  In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.  Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

1.11  Compensation.  The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b).  Any Lender’s determination of compensation owing to it under this Section 1.11 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

1.12  Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender or Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender or Issuing Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender or Issuing Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the

10

operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender or Issuing Lender provided in Sections 1.10, 2.06 and 4.04.

1.13  Replacement of Lenders.  (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (z), will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement), to replace such Lender with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such Lender which is replaced by a Replacement Lender is referred to herein as a “Replaced Lender”); provided that:

(i)at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13, the Replaced Lender and the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans of, and participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and in connection therewith, the Replacement Lender shall pay to (I) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the aggregate principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding Revolving Loans of the Replaced Lender, (2) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (3) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (II) each Issuing Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (III) the Swingline Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time; and

(ii)all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

11

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 1.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 1.13 and Section 13.04.  Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Revolving Note executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

SECTION 2.Letters of Credit.

2.01  Letters of Credit.  (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”).  All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only.  It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule II (the “Existing Letters of Credit”), which were issued by DBAG (or an Affiliate thereof) under the Existing Credit Agreement and remain outstanding on the Effective Date, shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date.

(b)Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

(i)any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender

12

is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii)such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 2.03(b).

2.02  Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities; etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed, when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the one year anniversary of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender) and (B) the one year anniversary of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

2.03  Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.  (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile).  Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”) to specify:  (i) the name of the respective Issuing Lender thereof; (ii) the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; (iv) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the L/C Supportable Obligations to be supported thereby; and (v) the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

(b)The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.02.  Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 5 or 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.  Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or

13

amendment thereto, as the case may be.  Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the respective Letter of Credit Outstandings.

(d)The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

2.04  Letter of Credit Participations.  (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.  Upon any change in the RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the respective Lender or Lenders.

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

(c)(i) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each relevant Participant of such failure, and each such Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds.  If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds.  If and to

14

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

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

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

(f)The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

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

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

15

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

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

2.05  Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.  (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b) below, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to such Issuing Lender for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00%, with such interest to be payable on demand.  Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

2.06  Increased Costs.  If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any

16

Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for (x) taxes with respect to which additional amounts are paid pursuant to Section 4.04 or (y) changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits (or any franchise or similar tax imposed in lieu of a net income or net profits tax) of such Issuing Lender or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital.  Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant.  The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 3.Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

3.01  Fees.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage on the daily average Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time.  Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit.  Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears

17

on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500; it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment, upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

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

(e)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (and/or its respective affiliates) such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent (and/or its respective affiliates).

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

(b)In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, subject to its compliance with the requirements of Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender as provided in Section 13.12(b), so long as all Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 4.01(b) (at which

18

time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit are cash collateralized by the Borrower in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

3.03  Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  (a) The Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on April 30, 2008, unless the Effective Date has occurred on or prior to such date.

(b)In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

(c)In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 as in effect on the Effective Date), the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Debt Proceeds of the respective issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness.

(d)In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom; provided, however, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be required to be so reduced on such date so long as no Specified Default or Event of Default then exists or would result from such Asset Sale and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets (other than working capital unless purchased as part of a Permitted Acquisition) used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.12 (including funding of Permitted Acquisitions) within 270 days following the date of such Asset Sale, and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 3.03(d) are not so reinvested within such 270-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such amount shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as provided above in this Section 3.03(d) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(e)In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, within 10 days following each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Insurance Proceeds therefrom do not exceed

19

$250,000), the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event; provided, however, that so long as no Specified Default or Event of Default then exists, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be required to be reduced from such Net Insurance Proceeds within such 10-day period to the extent that the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent within such 10-day period stating that such Net Insurance Proceeds will be used to replace or restore properties or assets in respect of which such Net Insurance Proceeds were paid within 270 days following the date of the receipt of such Net Insurance Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net Insurance Proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Insurance Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 270 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Insurance Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower determines not to reinvest the Net Insurance Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as provided above in this Section 3.03(e) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(f)Each reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender.

SECTION 4.Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

4.01  Voluntary Prepayments.  (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:  (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans (or same day notice in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans) and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Eurodollar Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (y) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), provided that if any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; and (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be

20

applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans, provided that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(b)In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) repay all Revolving Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees, and other amounts (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11) owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b) so long as (A) (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 3.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.

4.02  Mandatory Repayments.  (a) (i) On any day on which the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (III) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess.  If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(ii)On any day on which the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount at such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such date the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

21

(b)With respect to each repayment of Revolving Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Revolving Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that:  (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(c)In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, (i) all then outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date, (iii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, all then outstanding Loans and other Obligations shall be repaid in full on the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and (iv) on each day on which the Corporate Ratings Condition is not met (but only to the extent that the Corporate Ratings Condition is applicable), the Borrower shall repay in full all outstanding Loans on such day and pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash equal to 100% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders in respect of such Letters of Credit in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(d)If any Letter of Credit is outstanding on the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or, if later, the day on which such Letter of Credit is to be issued hereunder) which has an expiry date later than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or which, pursuant to its terms, may be extended to a date later than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date), the Borrower shall, on such 30th day (or such later day, as the case may be), either (x) pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount of cash equal to 105% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders in respect of such Letters of Credit in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent or (y) deliver to the Administrative Agent a standby letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) in favor of the Administrative Agent and in a stated amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit, which standby letter of credit shall be in form and substance, and issued by a financially sound financial institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

4.03  Method and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately

available funds at the Payment Office.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

4.04  Net Payments.  (a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.  Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits (or any franchise or similar tax imposed in lieu of a net income or net profits tax) of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (each a “Section 4.04 Indemnitee”), as the case may be, pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”).  If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower and any other Credit Party agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document to any Section 4.04 Indemnitee, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such other Credit Document.  If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower and each other Credit Party jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Section 4.04 Indemnitee, upon the written request of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits (or any franchise or similar tax imposed in lieu of a net income or net profits tax) of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Section 4.04 Indemnitee shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Section 4.04 Indemnitee in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee pursuant to this sentence.  The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower or the respective Credit Party.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Section 4.04 Indemnitee and reimburse each such Person upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by each such Person.

(b)Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that

23

is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the respective Non-U.S. Lender was already a Non-U.S. Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Non-U.S. Lender or, in the case of a successor Issuing Lender, the date such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, the date of the appointment of such Administrative Agent, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption from withholding under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document, or (ii) if the Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or Form W 8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption from withholding under an income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that from time to time after the date such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Non-U.S. Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any other Credit Document, or such Non-U.S. Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or Certificate, in which case such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any such form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b).  Each U.S. Lender (other than a Lender, an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in U.S. Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a U.S. Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the respective U.S. Lender was already a U.S. Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such U.S. Lender or, in the case of a U.S. Lender that is a successor Issuing Lender, the date such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender or, in the case of a U.S. Lender that is a successor Administrative Agent, the date of the appointment of such Administrative Agent, two accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor forms) certifying to such U.S. Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but

24

subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income (including income taxes imposed by withholding) or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to, or to indemnify, a Lender, an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in respect of income (including income taxes imposed by withholding) or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, has not provided to the Borrower the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender, an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, described in clause (ii) in the first sentence above in this Section 4.04(b), to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender and Issuing Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) as a result of any changes that are effective after the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income (including income taxes imposed by withholding) or similar taxes or (ii) to the extent such Lender or Issuing Lender is an assignee of another Lender or Issuing Lender that was entitled, at the time the assignment became effective, to receive additional amounts under this Section 4.04 (except in each case to the extent that such Lender or Issuing Lender is legally entitled to provide a form establishing exemption from withholding of such taxes but fails to do so).

(c)If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Section 4.04 Indemnitee, and such Section 4.04 Indemnitee determines in its sole good faith discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Section 4.04 Indemnitee shall pay to such Borrower an amount that the Section 4.04 Indemnitee shall, in its sole good faith discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Section 4.04 Indemnitee in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Section 4.04 Indemnitee may determine, in its sole good faith discretion consistent with the policies of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any taxes that are imposed on a Section 4.04 Indemnitee as a result of a disallowance or reduction, (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Section 4.04 Indemnitee that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Section 4.04 Indemnitee has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Section 4.04

25

Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses, (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require any Section 4.04 Indemnitee to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iv) no Section 4.04 Indemnitee shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) at any time that a Default or an Event of Default exists.

32

future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

(b)All Letters of Credit will be used for the purposes described in Section 2.01(a).

(c)Except as otherwise permitted by Section 9.03, no part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(d)Except to the extent permitted by Section 8.17, the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than the capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) does not exceed $5,000,000.  At the time of each Credit Event, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (including all capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) will constitute Margin Stock.

Borrower) of such Mortgaged Property equals or exceeds $1,000,000.  All such security interests and Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and shall constitute, after appropriate filings have been made (to the extent required to be so made), valid and enforceable perfected security interests and Mortgages superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens.  The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full.

(b)           The Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Credit Parties to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements, control agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require.  Furthermore, the Borrower will, and will cause the other Credit Parties to, deliver to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 8.12 has been complied with.

(c)           If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that they are required by law or regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries constituting Collateral, the Borrower will, at its own expense, provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)           (i)  The Borrower will cause each Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary of the Borrower (whether existing on the Effective Date or thereafter created, established or acquired) that has not entered into any Credit Document because to have done so either (x) would have violated a law, regulation, rule, order, approval, license or other restriction applicable to such Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary and issued or imposed by any governmental authority or (y) would have reasonably been expected to cause such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to fail to satisfy a net worth, net equity or capital requirement or similar calculation or requirement imposed on such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary by any governmental authority having jurisdiction of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary due to the regulated nature of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary’s operations, in either case to, upon such restrictions ceasing to (or to the extent that such restrictions do not) apply to such Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent counterparts of the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Subsidiaries Guaranty (to the extent that any such Credit Documents were not theretofore entered into by such Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary), together with all other relevant documentation (including opinions of counsel, resolutions, officers’ certificates and UCC financing statements) of the type described in Section 5

47

as such Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary would have had to deliver if it executed such Credit Documents on the Effective Date (after which time such Wholly-Owned Specified Subsidiary shall cease to constitute same); provided, however, no Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be required to take any actions pursuant to this Section 8.12(d)(i) except to the extent required by Section 8.13.

(ii)           To the extent that the capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary of the Borrower have not theretofore been pledged to the Collateral Agent under the Pledge Agreement because to have done so would have violated a law, regulation, rule, order, approval, license or other restriction applicable to such Subsidiary and issued or imposed by any governmental authority due to the regulated nature of such Subsidiary’s operations, the Borrower will, or will cause the other applicable Credit Party to, upon such restrictions ceasing to apply to such Subsidiary, pledge and deliver to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and to the extent required by, the Pledge Agreement the capital stock or other equity interests of any such Subsidiary.

(e)           The Borrower agrees that each action required by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 8.12 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 30 days (or 10 days in the case of preceding clause (d)) after such action is required to be taken or is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be; provided that, in no event will the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 8.12.

(f)            No later than 30 days after the Effective Date (as such date may be extended by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion), the Borrower will deliver to the Collateral Agent fully executed bank account control agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the initial Primary Concentration Accounts.

8.13         Foreign Subsidiaries Security.  Following a change in the relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or other official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower which has not already had all of its stock pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Administrative Agent may request in writing that the Borrower deliver to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after such request evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that (i) a pledge of 66% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary entitled to vote, (ii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a security agreement in substantially the form of the Security Agreement and (iii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a guaranty in substantially the form of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, in any such case would no longer reasonably be expected to cause (x) any undistributed earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for Federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent for Federal income tax purposes or (y) other materially adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Credit Parties, and, to the extent such evidence is so delivered (or no evidence to the contrary is delivered within such 30-day period) the Borrower will, at the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, take one or more of the actions described in the immediately

48

succeeding sentence.  Provided that the actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above would not cause the conditions set forth in either clause (x) or (y) above to be met, then within 45 days after the Administrative Agent’s request, (I) the Borrower will, or will cause its applicable Subsidiary to, pledge that portion of each such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding capital stock not theretofore pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), (II) the Borrower will cause each such Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent that it is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) to execute and deliver the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement (or another security agreement or pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), granting the Secured Creditors a security interest in all of each such Foreign Subsidiary’s assets and securing the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents, under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and under any Secured Cash Management Arrangement and, in the event the Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary thereunder, and (III) the Borrower will cause each such Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent it is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) to execute and deliver the Subsidiaries Guaranty (or another guaranty in substantially similar form, if needed), guaranteeing the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents, under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and under any Secured Cash Management Arrangement, in each case to the extent that the entering into the Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement or Subsidiaries Guaranty is permitted by the laws of the respective foreign jurisdiction and with all documents delivered pursuant to this Section 8.13 to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

8.14         Ownership of Subsidiaries; etc.  Except (i) for non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date or (ii) as otherwise permitted by Sections 9.05(xiv) and (xv) and the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, either solely or together with one or more other Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, own 100% of the capital stock and other equity interests of each of their Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary, directors’ qualifying shares and nominal shares held by local nationals, in each case to the extent required by applicable law).

8.15         Permitted Acquisitions.  (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.15 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and each of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition):  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given to the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice of any Permitted Acquisition (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the principal terms and conditions of such Permitted Acquisition; (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received, to the extent available, audited year end financial statements for at least the previous fiscal year and interim unaudited quarterly financial statements for the then current fiscal year of the Acquired Entity or Business being acquired pursuant to such proposed Permitted Acquisition, although to the extent that such audited year end financial statements are

49

not available, the Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied with the form and scope of all financial statements for such Acquired Entity of Business for the then most recently ended fiscal year of such Acquired Entity or Business and for the then current fiscal year of such Acquired Entity or Business; (iv) calculations are made by the Borrower with respect to the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.08 and 9.09 for the respective Calculation Period on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated after the first day of such Calculation Period) had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period, and such calculations shall show that such financial covenants would have been complied with as of the last day of such Calculation Period; (v) all of the representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (vi) after giving effect to such proposed Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all amounts (including fees and expenses) owing in connection therewith, the sum of the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Amount then in effect plus the aggregate amount of all Unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors at such time shall equal or exceed the sum of (I) $50,000,000 plus (II) an amount equal to the aggregate amount reasonably likely to be payable within the 12 months following such Permitted Acquisition in respect of all post-closing purchase price adjustments, earn-out payments, non-compete payments and/or deferred purchase payments (or similar payments), in each case required or which will be required in connection with such Permitted Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which such purchase price adjustments and other payments may be required to be made) as determined by the Borrower in good faith; and (vii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (with copies for each Lender) a certificate executed by one of its Authorized Officers certifying compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive (to the extent applicable), and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iv) and (vi); provided, however, the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall not be applicable to Permitted Acquisitions in which the Maximum Permitted Consideration is less than $25,000,000.

(b)           At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other equity interest of any Person, the capital stock or other equity interests thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall be pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Pledge Agreement.

(c)           The Borrower will cause each Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary and, to the extent required by Section 8.13, each Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary, in each case which is formed to effect, or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and to execute and deliver all of the documentation as and to the extent required by, Sections 8.12 and 9.13, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

(d)           The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the certifications pursuant to this Section 8.15 are true and correct and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied (or waived, to the extent

50

applicable, in a prior writing by the Required Lenders) and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 7 and 10.

8.16         Cash Management System; etc.  The Borrower and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall maintain a cash management system in a manner and following procedures consistent with their past business practices, which cash management system, in any event, shall provide that all available cash of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than (i) nominal amounts of cash, (ii) Restricted cash and (iii) cash required to be maintained at Subsidiary Guarantors in order to (but only to the extent required to) maintain capital or net worth requirements imposed on such Subsidiary Guarantors by governmental authorities due to the regulated nature of such Subsidiary Guarantors’ operations) be swept on a daily basis to one of the Primary Concentration Accounts in which the Collateral Agent has “control” over within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC.

8.17         Margin Regulations.  Except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, the Borrower will take all actions so that at all times the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) shall not exceed $5,000,000.  So long as the covenant contained in the immediately preceding sentence is complied with, all Margin Stock at any time owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Credit Document.  If at any time the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) exceeds $5,000,000, then (x) all Margin Stock owned by the Credit Parties (other than capital stock of the Borrower held in treasury) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and (y) the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Lenders appropriate completed forms (including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing compliance with Regulations T, U and X.  If at any time any Margin Stock is required to be pledged as a result of the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, repayments of outstanding Obligations shall be required, and subsequent Credit Events shall be permitted, only in compliance with the applicable provisions of Regulations T, U and X.

SECTION 9.           Negative Covenants.  The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and all Letters of Credit have terminated (or have been cash collateralized or supported by a backstop letter of credit as provided in Section 4.02(d)) and the Loans, Notes and Unpaid Drawings (in each case, together with interest thereon), Fees and all other Obligations (other than any indemnities described in Section 13.13 which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full:

9.01         Liens.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets (real or personal, tangible or intangible) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or sell any such property or assets subject to an understanding or agreement, contingent or otherwise, to repurchase such property or assets (including sales of accounts receivable with recourse to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), or assign any right

51

to receive income or permit the filing of any financing statement under the UCC or any other similar notice of Lien under any similar recording or notice statute; provided that the provisions of this Section 9.01 shall not prevent the creation, incurrence, assumption or existence of the following (Liens described below are herein referred to as “Permitted Liens”):

Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

12.02  Nature of Duties.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

12.03  Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.  Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and Letters of Credit and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or the issuance of any Letter of Credit or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05  Reliance.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

12.08  Holders.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

94

additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation.  Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b)Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

delayed), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15.  To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b).  To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 2.06 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective assignment).

(c)       Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder as security for the obligations of such Lender, including (i) to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), in the case of any Lender which is a fund, to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

13.05  No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06  Payments Pro Rata.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on

99

behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b)Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to
Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07  Calculations; Computations.  (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 8.15, 9.03(iii), 9.05(xiv), 9.08, 9.09 and 9.10(i)(B) shall utilize generally accepted accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited historical financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 7.05(a) and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b)All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

13.08  GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE MORTGAGES, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED

100

101

GUARANTOR (IF ANY) THAT IS A FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY OF THE BORROWER AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16(a) OF THE SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY.

13.09  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

13.10  Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing), written or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it and (ii) the conditions contained in Section 5 are met to the satisfaction of the Agents and the Required Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent has received actual notice from any Lender that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence have not been met to its satisfaction, upon the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been met, then the Effective Date shall have deemed to have occurred.  The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

13.11  Headings Descriptive.  The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

13.12  Amendment or Waiver; etc.  (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the one year anniversary of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except for

102

technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date), or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (4) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision of this Agreement as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, or (5) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

(b)If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and repay all outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender and cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(b), provided that, unless the Revolving Loan Commitments which are terminated and Revolving Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Revolving Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

103

13.13  Survival.  All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.14  Domicile of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans and/or participations in outstanding Letters of Credit at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans and/or participations in outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.06 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15  Register.  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders, the amount of any principal or interest due and payable with respect to such Loans and each repayment in respect of the principal amount, and related interest amounts of the Loans of each Lender.  Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.  With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.  The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of the Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b).  Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Revolving Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Revolving Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15 except to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).  In addition, the Borrower shall have the right, upon its written request to the Administrative Agent, to review a copy of the Register at any reasonable time.

13.16  Confidentiality.  (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without

104

the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its reasonable discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated as confidential by the Borrower, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16, and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes, Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b)The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.
