CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of January 18, 2007, among UNIVERSAL AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORP., a New York corporation (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions listed from time to time on Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Bank” and, collectively, the “Banks”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and L/C Issuer (defined herein). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 9 are used herein as so defined.

RECITALS:

The Borrower has requested that the Banks provide a revolving credit facility in an amount up to $50,000,000 to the Borrower, and the Banks are willing to provide such revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

1.01 Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Bank severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower, which Loans shall be drawn under the Revolving Loan Facility as set forth below:

(a) Each Loan under the Revolving Loan Facility (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”):

(i) may be incurred by the Borrower at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date but prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date;

(ii) shall be denominated in Dollars;

(iii) may, except as hereinafter provided, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that all Revolving Loans incurred as part of the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type;

(iv) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

(v) shall not exceed, for any Bank, a principal amount which, when added to the Outstanding Amount of all other Revolving Loans made by such Bank plus such Bank’s pro rata share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing hereunder shall not be less than $1,000,000 and, if in excess thereof, shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000; provided, however, that a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans may be equal to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than five Borrowings of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans.

1.03 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans under the Facility, it shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall, except as expressly provided in Section 1.11, be irrevocable, and, in the case of each written notice and each written confirmation of telephonic notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether such Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of such Bank’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the relevant Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

1.04 Disbursement of Funds.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank will make available its pro rata share of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below. All amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, denominated in Dollars, at the Payment Office and the Administrative Agent will promptly make available to the Borrower by depositing to the Borrower’s account at the Payment Office or such other account as the Borrower may designate, the amounts so made available in immediately available funds, denominated in Dollars. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Bank. If such Bank 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 within two Business Days pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Bank 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 to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Bank, the

overnight Federal Funds Rate or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.09, for the respective Loans.

(b) Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall, or shall be deemed to, relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its commitments and to fully perform its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

1.05 Notes.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Bank and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the Register) and each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Banks to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Note, which shall evidence such Bank’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Bank may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a), each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Bank of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Bank in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

1.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day, all or a portion at least equal to $1,000,000 (and, if in excess thereof, an integral multiple of $500,000) of the Outstanding Amount of the Loans of one Type pursuant to the Facility into a Borrowing or Borrowings of the other Type of Loan under the Facility; provided that (i) no partial conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans pursuant to such Borrowing to less than $1,000,000, (ii) Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such conversion, (iii) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans resulting from this Section 1.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 1.02 and (iv) each such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Loans of each Bank of the Type being converted. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans to be so converted, the Type of Loans to be converted into and, if such Loans are to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

1.07 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 1.07 (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Initial Borrowing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower (provided that any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries may be named as the account party in any Letter of Credit), and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in each case in accordance with clause (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Bank shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or (z) the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans of such Bank, plus such Bank’s pro rata share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, would exceed such Bank’s Revolving Loan Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirements applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, one which applies generally to a class or category of financial institutions of which the L/C Issuer is part and compliance with which is in accordance with the general practice of those institutions) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Banks have approved such expiry date;

(D) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $500,000.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s pro rata share of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Bank’s pro rata share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 1.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment and the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.07(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Bank (including the Bank acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 1.07(c)(iii), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the sum of (i) 2% and (ii) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. In such event, each Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 1.07.

(iv) Until each Bank funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 1.07(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Bank’s pro rata share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by

this Section 1.07(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 1.07(c) is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.07(c) by the time specified in Section 1.07(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover from such Bank, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Bank such Bank’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 1.07(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Bank its pro rata share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 1.07(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.07 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its pro rata share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will, within two Business Days, notify the L/C Issuer.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Bank and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificate or document expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Bank for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Banks or the Required Banks, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 1.07(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages

suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and document(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Banks, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing.

(h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank in accordance with its pro rata sharea Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Percentage times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within two Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

1.08 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Loans, L/C Advances and participations in Letters of Credit under this Agreement shall be made by the Banks pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments. The obligations of the Banks to make Loans and L/C Advances and to fund participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan or L/C Advance or to fund such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to so make its Loan or L/C Advance or to purchase its participation.

1.09 Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan or (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Eurodollar Loans plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder, and, during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01, the Outstanding Amount of each Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the rate of interest otherwise then applicable thereto.

(d) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period of six months, on the date occurring three months after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any conversion or prepayment (on the amount so converted or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 11.08(b) and (c).

(f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof.

1.10 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, it shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

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

(ii) if any Interest Period 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;

(iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period 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;

(iv) no Interest Period for a Borrowing under the Facility may be elected if it would extend beyond the Maturity Date for the Facility; and

(v) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, the Borrower has failed, or is not permitted, to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Bank shall have determined, in each case acting in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period, that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the London interbank market for Dollar deposits generally, 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 Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (excluding any Taxes, Other Taxes and amounts relating thereto, payment with respect to which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 3.05) because of any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, one which applies generally to a class or category of financial institutions of which such Bank is part and compliance with which is in accordance with the general practice of those institutions), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, 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); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful due to the compliance by such Bank in good faith with any change since the Effective Date in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, one which applies generally to a class or category of financial institutions of which such Bank is part and compliance with which is in accordance with the general practice of those institutions;

then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (x) on such date and (y) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). 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 Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or notice of a new Interest Period pursuant to Section 1.10 given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which has not yet occurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing or, in the case of the selection of a new Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 1.10, shall be deemed to be a Notice of Conversion of such Borrowing to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, within 10 days of its receipt of written demand therefor (which shall include sufficient detail to demonstrate the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis shall be reasonable and consistently applied, submitted to the Borrower by such Bank and shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the increased costs or reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Bank hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans), such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.11(b) as promptly as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Bank pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, convert the related Notice of

Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Bank to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Bank to convert each such affected Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all affected Banks must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 1.11(b).

(c) If, any Bank shall have determined that, after the Effective Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, one which applies generally to a class or category of financial institutions of which such Bank is part and compliance with which is in accordance with the general practice of those institutions) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Bank’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Borrower shall within 10 days of its receipt of written demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Bank, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and consistently applied. Such written notice shall be received prior to or contemporaneously with any demand in respect thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any notice required by this Section 1.11 or Section 1.12 is given by any Bank more than 180 days after such Bank obtained actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional costs of the type described in this Section 1.11 or Section 1.12, such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 1.11 or Section 1.12 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 180 days prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

1.12 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit with respect to such Loans) which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.11(a)), or a new Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans selected pursuant to Section 1.10 does not become effective; (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable 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 failure by the Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to

Section 1.11(b). The amount payable to such Bank by the Borrower under this Section 1.12 shall be an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received or recovered had it been received or recovered on the last day of the applicable Interest Period exceeds (ii) the amount of interest, which, in the reasonable opinion of such Bank, would have been payable to such Bank on the last day of such Interest Period in respect of a Dollar deposit equal to the amount so received or recovered placed by it with a prime bank in London for a period starting on the date of such receipt or recovery and ending on the last day of such Interest Period.

1.13 Change of Lending Office. The L/C Issuer and each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3.05 with respect to the L/C Issuer or such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of the L/C Issuer or such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Letters of Credit or Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that, in the good faith opinion of the L/C Issuer or such Bank, the L/C Issuer or such Bank and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the L/C Issuer or any Bank provided in Section 1.11 or 3.05.

1.14 Replacement of Banks. If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c) or Section 3.05 with respect to any Bank which results in such Bank charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Banks, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to replace such Bank (the “Replaced Bank”) with one or more Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Bank at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Bank”), provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.14, the Replacement Bank shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 11.04(b) to be paid by the Borrower or the Replacement Bank) pursuant to which the Replacement Bank shall acquire all of the Commitment, outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations held by the Replaced Bank and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Bank in respect thereof an amount equal to (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans held by the Replaced Bank plus (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Bank pursuant to Section 1.07(i) and Section 2.01, and (ii) all obligations (including, without limitation, all such amounts, if any, due and owing under Section 1.12) of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Bank (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 Bank concurrently with such replacement. 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 6.12 and, if so requested by the Replacement Bank, delivery to the Replacement Bank of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Bank shall become a Bank hereunder and the Replaced Bank shall cease to constitute a Bank hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 3.05, 10.07 and 11.01(b)), which shall survive as to such Replaced Bank and (y) Schedule 1 hereto shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Commitments (and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be) resulting from the assignment from the Replaced Bank to the Replacement Bank.

SECTION 2. Fees; Termination of Commitments.

2.01 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Effective Date to and including the date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, computed at a rate for each day equal to the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Commitment Fees multiplied by the daily Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of each such Bank. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account when and as due, the administrative fee, if any, set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.02 Termination of Commitments. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date on which a Change of Control occurs, (iii) the date on which the Other Credit Agreement is terminated, amended and restated, replaced or refinanced, and (iv) the date on which the Borrower ceases for any reason to be an issuer of securities required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 3. Payments.

3.01 Termination or Reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Any reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Bank according to its pro rata share.

3.02 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans, without premium or penalty (except for amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.12), in whole or in part, from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such prepayment is made, which notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, or (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Banks; (ii) each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an

aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, provided that no partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000; and (iii) each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment), in each case as the Borrower may direct in its sole discretion.

3.03 Mandatory Commitment Reductions.

(i) Requirements:

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) With respect to any prepayment of Loans required by this Section 3.03, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided that (i) the Borrower shall first so designate all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment prior to designating any other Eurodollar Loans; (ii) if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000, such Borrowing shall be immediately converted into Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such 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 with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.12.

3.04 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under the Credit Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Banks entitled thereto, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America at the Payment Office, it being understood that written, telex or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative

Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder 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 during such extension period at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

3.05 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under the Credit Documents will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. In addition, except as provided in this Section 3.05, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Bank under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Bank, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Bank, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). Except as otherwise provided in clause (b) below, if the Borrower shall be required by any laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Bank, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable laws and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to the L/C Issuer or such Bank) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies (but specifically excluding all other United States Federal taxes, other than withholding taxes, unless such exclusion is not required as a condition for an exemption from reporting requirements under Sections 6011, 6111 or 6112 of the Code) which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Bank, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Bank, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Bank specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Bank would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Bank for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and such Bank, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.05(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this clause (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Bank, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, delivers to the Borrower a certificate pursuant to Section 3.05(g).

(e) The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Bank that is a party to this Agreement on the Effective Date represents to the Borrower that as of the Effective Date it is entitled to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under the Credit Documents. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Bank that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, or in the case of a Bank that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (unless the respective Bank was already a Bank hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Bank, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Bank that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, or in the case of a Bank that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (unless the respective Bank was already a Bank hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Bank, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or successor forms) certifying to such Bank’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under the Credit Documents, or (ii) if the Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Section 3.05(e)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form certifying to such Bank’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 the Credit Documents. In addition, each Bank agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, and from time to time upon reasonable request, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or a Section 3.05(e)(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 Bank to a continued complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments under the Credit Documents, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Bank shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.05(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.05(a), but subject to 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 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 under the Credit Documents for the account of any Bank to the extent that such Bank has not provided to the Administrative Agent or 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 to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify any Bank in the manner set forth in Sections 3.05(a) and (d) in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Bank has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.05(e) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Bank described in clause (ii) above, 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 3.05 (other than Section 3.05(b)), except as set forth in Section 3.05(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Bank in the manner set forth in Sections 3.05(a) and (d) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

(f) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 3.05 to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Bank and such Person determines in its sole discretion, acting in good faith, 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 Person shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Person shall, in its sole discretion, acting in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Person in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) such Person may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Person, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on such Person as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Person that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Person has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.05(f) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Person pursuant to this Section 3.05 without any exclusions or defenses; and (iii) nothing in this Section 3.05(f) shall require such Person to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns) except as may be required by Section 11.17.

(g) A certificate of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.05 and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

10.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4 that are applicable on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Initial Borrowing Date specifying its objection thereto.

10.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or any other Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks.

10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Administrative Agent. Each Bank acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act

by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

10.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Total Commitments, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

10.08 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other

Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as the L/C Issuer. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agentand the L/C Issuer and the respective terms “Administrative Agent” and “L/C Issuer” shall mean such successor administrative agent and Letter of Credit issuer and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring L/C Issuer’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring L/C Issuer or any other Bank, other than the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.01 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above.

10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) To file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 1.07(i) and (j), 2.01 and 11.01(a)) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) To collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.01 and 11.01(a).

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding.

10.11 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Banks or other Persons identifiedon the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Banks, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

11.04 Benefit of Agreement.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of a participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (c) of this Section or (iii) by way of a pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (d) of this Section, (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H, appropriately completed, (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.12, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.11, 1.12, 3.05 and 11.01 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower shall execute and deliver one or more new Notes to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section.

(c) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a

portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Bank’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.13 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.11, 1.12 and 3.05to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to compensation at a greater rate pursuant to any such Section than the Bank that sold such Participant its participation, unless the Borrower has consented to such participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.02as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.06(b) as though it were a Bank. In addition, each Bank that transfers or grants any participation to a participant under this Section 11.04(c) shall (i) keep a register, meeting the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 5f.163-1(c), relating to each such Participant, specifying such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation, and (ii) collect prior to the time such Participant receives payments with respect to such participation, from each such Participant the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 3.05(e) (and updated as required) as if such Participant were a Bank under Section 3.05.

(d) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Banks, resign as the L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Banks a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as the L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as the L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Banks to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 1.07(c)).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 11.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Bank hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.

(g) Each Bank initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Bank pursuant to an assignment permitted by clause (b) above will upon its becoming party to this Agreement represent, that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited investor” (as defined in SEC Regulation D) which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business or is acquiring the Loans without a view to distribution of the Loans within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that, subject to the preceding clauses (a) through (d), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Bank shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

11.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Bank 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 and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Bank would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations of the Borrower, it shall distribute such payment to the Banks (other than any Bank that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of 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 Banks 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, Fees or the L/C Obligations held by it, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Banks is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Bank bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to such receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall (i) purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Banks an interest in the Obligations of the Borrower to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Banks in such amount, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest, or (ii) otherwise share such excess payment with the other Banks so that all of the Banks share in such excess payment on a pro rata basis.

The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Bank prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

11.12 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and sub-Sections 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.

11.13 Amendment or Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Credit Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required

Banks and the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) Extend or increase the Commitment of any Bank (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.10) without the written consent of such Bank;

(b) Postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Credit Document for any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Banks (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby;

(c) Reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this Section 11.13) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Banks shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(d) Change Section 8.11 or Section 11.06 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Bank;

(f) Release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty without the written consent of each Bank; or

(g) Permit the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of each Bank;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, a Default or an Event of Default that has been waived in writing in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall no longer be deemed continuing, unless such written waiver expressly provides otherwise.

11.14 Survival.

(a) All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 1.11, 1.12, 3.05, 10.07 or 11.01(b) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans, the repayment of the Obligations, the termination of the Total Commitment and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit.

(b) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

11.15 Domicile of Loans. Subject to Section 11.04, each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank; provided that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.11 or 3.05 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Bank prior to such transfer; and provided further that, in the case of any transfer to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank, the transferring Bank shall maintain a register as provided in Section 11.04(c).

11.16 Interest Rate Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.17 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Credit Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other

similar organization. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.18 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.19 Severability. If any provision of Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

11.21 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Banks in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT

DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE L/C ISSUER, THE BANKS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF SUCH PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG SUCH PARTIES.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

GUARANTY, dated as of January , 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), made by each of the undersigned guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and, together with any other entity that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 26 hereof or otherwise, the “Guarantors”). Except as otherwise defined herein, terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Universal American Financial Corp. (the “Borrower”), the lending institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Banks”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”) and as L/C Issuer, have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of January 18, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Credit Extensions to the Borrower as contemplated therein (the Banks, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent are herein called the “Bank Creditors”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower may from time to time be party to one or more Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements with a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank (each such Bank or affiliate, but only so long as the respective Bank is a Bank under the Credit Agreement, together with such Bank’s or affiliate’s successors and assigns, collectively, the “Other Creditors,” and together with the Bank Creditors, are herein called the “Creditors”);

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the making of Credit Extensions to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Credit Extensions by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the entering into of Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Banks to make Credit Extensions to the Borrower and the Other Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements with the Borrower;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with each Creditor as follows:

1. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees: (i) to the Bank Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of (x) the principal of and interest on the Credit Extensions made to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and (y) all other obligations (including obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due) and liabilities owing by the Borrower to the Bank Creditors under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, indemnities, Fees and interest thereon) and the other Credit Documents, whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any such other Credit Document and the due performance and compliance with the terms of the Credit Documents by the Borrower (all such principal, interest, liabilities and obligations under this clause (i), except to the extent consisting of obligations or liabilities with respect to

Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, being herein collectively called the “Credit Document Obligations”); and (ii) to each Other Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations (including obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due) and liabilities owing by the Borrower under any Interest Rate Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower with all terms, conditions and agreements contained therein (all such obligations and liabilities being herein collectively called the “Other Obligations,” and together with the Credit Document Obligations are herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”), provided that the maximum amount payable by each Guarantor hereunder shall at no time exceed the Maximum Amount (as hereinafter defined) of such Guarantor. As used herein, “Maximum Amount” of any Guarantor means an amount equal to 95% of the amount by which (i) the present fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets exceeds (ii) the amount reasonably expected to come due in respect of all liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities), other than liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of such Guarantor hereunder, in each case determined on the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the case of a Guarantor that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 24 hereof, on the date such Guarantor becomes a party hereto) or (in either case) on the date any demand is made under this Guaranty, whichever date results in a higher Maximum Amount. Subject to the proviso in the second preceding sentence, each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against each Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, the Borrower, against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. All payments by each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made on the same basis as payments by the Borrower are made under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 of the Credit Agreement.

2. Additionally, subject to the Maximum Amount limitation contained in Section 1 above, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower of any of the events specified in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Creditors, or to their order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

3. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution or termination of, or increase, decrease or change in personnel by, the Borrower or (e) any payment made to any Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which such Creditor repays the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

4. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other

circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

5. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liability, suit or taking of other action by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Borrower).

6. Any Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to creditors of the Borrower;

(e) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Creditors regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(f) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Interest Rate Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements entered into by the Borrower and an Other Creditor, the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Interest Rate Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements entered into by the Borrower and an Other Creditor, the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(g) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against the Borrower to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty.

7. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other

circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

8. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

9. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Creditors; and such indebtedness of the Borrower to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Creditors and be paid over to the Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

10.

(a) Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute or law and cannot be waived) to require the Creditors to: (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Borrower or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Borrower or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Borrower or any other party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Borrower or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or the other Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Creditors may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or

subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

11. Each Creditor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Banks (or, after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no other Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Creditors in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty. Each Creditor further agrees that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder).

12. In order to induce the Banks to make Credit Extensions pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Other Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, each Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that:

(a) Such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (ii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Such Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as the case may be, action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each such Credit Document. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof (i) will contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or

any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under (except for those which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect), or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit agreement or other agreement to which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d) Except for (i) filings and approvals made or obtained on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, and (ii) those filings or approvals the failure of which to make or obtain, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party (other than any such consent, approval, license, authorization, validation, filing or registration required in order for such Guarantor to be in compliance with the Credit Agreement, which such Guarantor will make or obtain when and as required).

(e) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.04 to the Credit Agreement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Guarantor, threatened with respect to such Guarantor which, individually or in the aggregate, could (if adversely determined) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

13. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the date hereof and until the termination of the Total Commitment and all Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and when no Credit Extension remains outstanding and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than indemnities described in Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement which are not then due and payable), such Guarantor shall take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Section 6 or 7 of the Credit Agreement, and so that no Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

14. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty, and of the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by any of the Creditors or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be).

15. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Creditors and their successors and assigns.

16. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby and either (x) the Required Banks (or to the extent required by Section 11.13 of the Credit Agreement, the written consent of each Bank) at all times prior to the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in

full or (y) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations at all times after the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full; provided, that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Creditors (and not all Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors (as defined below) of such Class of Creditors (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released). For the purpose of this Guaranty the term “Class” shall mean each class of Creditors, i.e., whether (x) the Bank Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the Other Obligations. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Requisite Creditors” of any Class shall mean each of (x) with respect to the Credit Document Obligations, the Required Banks (or all the Banks if required by Section 11.13 of the Credit Agreement) and (y) with respect to the Other Obligations, the holders of at least a majority of all obligations outstanding from time to time under the Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements.

17. Each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Credit Documents, Interest Rate Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements has been made available to its principal executive officers and such officers are familiar with the contents thereof.

18. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (such term to mean and include any “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement or any payment default under any Interest Rate Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements continuing after any applicable grace period), each Creditor is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

19. All notices, requests, demands or other communications pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered to the Person to which such notice, request, demand or other communication is required or permitted to be given or made under this Guaranty, addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Bank Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement, (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at the address of the Borrower, as provided in the Credit Agreement and (iii) in the case of any Other Creditor, at such address as such Other Creditor shall have specified in writing to the Guarantor; or in any case at such other address as any of the Persons listed above may hereafter notify the others in writing.

20. If claim is ever made upon any Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

21.

(a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE CREDITORS AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of any of the Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
