"ALTERNATE BASE RATE" shall mean for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards to the nearest 1/16 of 1% if not already an integral multiple of 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect for such day plus 1/2 of 1% or (c) the Base CD Rate in effect for such day plus 1%. For purposes hereof, "PRIME RATE" shall mean the rate per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City.

Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Average Weekly Three-Month Secondary CD Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the CD Rate.

If no election as to the Interest Rate Type of a Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. If the Borrower shall not have given a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.5 of its election to refinance a Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing with an ABR Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.5 and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.6. REFINANCINGS. The Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Interest Rate Type pursuant to a Borrowing Request under Section 2.5, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at any time after the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a Default or an Event of Default, a Borrowing or portion thereof may only be refinanced with an ABR Borrowing. Any Borrowing or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.8 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing, which will repay the Borrowing being refinanced, shall not be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, and each new Borrowing will merely reflect a new or continued interest rate option. SECTION 2.7. FEES.

The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.9.

(e) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Term Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Term Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Term Note"). SECTION 2.9. INTEREST ON TERM LOANS. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Term Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days -17- elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin therefor from time to time in effect. Interest on each LIBOR Borrowing shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Term Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin therefor from time to time in effect. (c) Interest on each Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Term Loan. LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.10. INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, in the case of amounts bearing interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate and a year of 360 days in all other cases, equal to (a) in the case of the remainder of the then current Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, the rate applicable to such Term Loan under Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum and (b) in the case of any other amount, the rate that would at the time be applicable to an ABR Loan under Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum. SECTION 2.11. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the amount of the requested principal amount of such LIBOR Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank Market, or that the rate at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its portion of such LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopier notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have determined that circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.12. RESERVED. SECTION 2.13. PREPAYMENT OF TERM LOANS. -18- (a) Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17 but otherwise without premium or penalty, upon prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon New York City time at least one Business Day in the case of an ABR Loan and at least three Business Days in the case of a LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000. (b) Each notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13 shall specify the specific Borrowing(s), the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing(s) by the amount stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by the payment of unpaid accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment. Prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof in the direct order of maturity. Any amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.13 may not be reborrowed. SECTION 2.14. EURODOLLAR RESERVE COSTS. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of, or including, Eurocurrency Liabilities (as defined in Regulation D of the Board), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to the Borrower by such Lender, from the date of such Term Loan until such Term Loan is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Term Loan to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) LIBOR for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by multiplying LIBOR as referred to in clause (i) above by the Statutory Reserves of such Lender for such Interest Period.

(b) If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies or the policies of its holding company, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction upon demand by such Lender. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (i) such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts referred to in the preceding clause (i), shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the same. (d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to such Interest Period or any other Interest Period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition which shall have been imposed. -20- (e) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that (i) would cause it to incur any increased cost under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.21 or (ii) would require the Borrower to pay an increased amount under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.21, it will use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such event or condition and, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies, will use its reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Term Loans of such Lender through another Lending Office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional monies which would otherwise be required to be paid or the reduction of amounts receivable by such Lender thereunder in respect of such Term Loans would be materially reduced, or any inability to perform would cease to exist, or the increased costs which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.21 would be materially reduced or the taxes or other amounts otherwise payable under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.21 would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Term Loans through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Term Loans or such Lender. (f) In the event any Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a notice that LIBOR Loans are no longer available from such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, that amounts are due to such Lender pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof or that any of the events designated in paragraph (e) hereof have occurred, the Borrower may (but subject in any such case to the payments required by Section 2.17), provided that there shall exist no Default or Event of Default, upon at least five Business Days' prior written or telecopier notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, but not more than 30 days after receipt of notice from such Lender, identify to the Administrative Agent a lending institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent which will purchase the amount of outstanding Term Loans from the Lender providing such notice and such Lender shall thereupon assign any Term Loans owing to such Lender and Term Notes held by such Lender to such replacement lending institution pursuant to Section 9.3. Such notice shall specify an effective date for such assignment and at the time thereof, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest and all other amounts (including without limitation all amounts payable under this Section) owing hereunder to such Lender as at such effective date for such assignment.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may: (b) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Loans from such Lender hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and (c) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event (A) all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans -21- as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.16(b) and (B) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted LIBOR Loans shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans resulting from the conversion of such LIBOR Loans. (d) For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a) shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower. SECTION 2.17. REIMBURSEMENT OF LENDERS. (a) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) by any prepayment (for any reason) or refinancing of any LIBOR Loan if such LIBOR Loan is repaid or refinanced other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Term Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.5 in respect of LIBOR Loans, the applicable Term Loan is not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified by the Borrower for any reason other than (I) a suspension or limitation under Section 2.16 of the right of the Borrower to select a LIBOR Loan or (II) a breach by a Lender of its obligations hereunder. In the case of such failure to borrow, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount not borrowed, at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, for the period from the date of such failure to borrow, to the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds not advanced during the period referred to above. In the case of a payment other than on the last day of the Interest Period for a Term Loan, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Term Loan, over (B) the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of the Term Loan so paid times (y) the current daily yield on U.S. Treasury Securities (at such date of determination) with maturities approximately equal to the remaining Interest Period for such Term Loan times (z) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period for such Term Loan. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same. (b) In the event the Borrower fails to prepay any Term Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.13(a), the Borrower on demand by any Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the -22- Administrative Agent from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.18. PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as permitted or required under Sections 2.14, 2.15(c), 2.16 and 2.17, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Term Loans and each refinancing of any Borrowing with, or conversion of any Borrowing to, another Borrowing, or continuation of any Borrowing, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amount of their outstanding Term Loans. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing computed in accordance with Section 2.1, to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. SECTION 2.19. RIGHT OF SETOFF. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Lender shall have requested the Administrative Agent to declare the Term Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article 7, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender and any other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to, or for the credit or the account of, the Borrower, against any of and all the obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Term Loans held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Term Loans and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 2.20. MANNER OF PAYMENTS. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the Term Notes shall be made in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds without deduction, setoff or counterclaim at the office of the Administrative Agent's Agent Bank Services Department, 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10081, Attention: Sharon Hambousi, for credit to Cendant Corporation Clearing Account, Account No. 144812905 (Reference: Cendant Corporation Term Loan Agreement dated as of February 22, 2001), or to such other address or account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time notify the Borrower, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Term Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including the date of such Term Loan to, but excluding, the date on which such Term Loan is paid or refinanced with a Term Loan of a different Interest Rate Type. -23- SECTION 2.21. UNITED STATES WITHHOLDING. (a) Prior to the date of the initial Term Loans hereunder, and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or required because, as a result of a change in Applicable Law or a change in circumstances or otherwise, a previously delivered form or statement becomes incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide, if applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with complete, accurate and duly executed forms or other statements prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying such Lender's exemption from, or entitlement to a reduced rate of, United States withholding taxes (including backup withholding taxes) with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder and under the Term Notes. (b) The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any and all present or future taxes or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, from payments hereunder or under the Term Notes, if and to the extent that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in good faith determines that such deduction or withholding is required by the law of the United States, including, without limitation, any applicable treaty of the United States. In the event the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so determine that deduction or withholding of taxes is required, it shall advise the affected Lender as to the basis of such determination prior to actually deducting and withholding such taxes. In the event the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so deduct or withhold taxes from amounts payable hereunder, it (i) shall pay to or deposit with the appropriate taxing authority in a timely manner the full amount of taxes it has deducted or withheld; (ii) shall provide evidence of payment of such taxes to, or the deposit thereof with, the appropriate taxing authority and a statement setting forth the amount of taxes deducted or withheld, the applicable rate, and any other information or documentation reasonably requested by the Lenders from whom the taxes were deducted or withheld; and (iii) shall forward to such Lenders any receipt for such payment or deposit of the deducted or withheld taxes as may be issued from time to time by the appropriate taxing authority. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under the Term Notes are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. (c) Each Lender agrees (i) that as between it and the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, it shall be the Person to deduct and withhold taxes, and to the extent required by law it shall deduct and withhold taxes, on amounts that such Lender may remit to any other Person(s) by reason of any undisclosed transfer or assignment of an interest in this Agreement to such other Person(s) pursuant to paragraph (g) of Section 9.3 and (ii) to indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any officers, directors, agents, or employees of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent against, and to hold them harmless from, any tax, interest, additions to tax, penalties, reasonable counsel and accountants' fees, disbursements or payments arising from the assertion by any appropriate taxing authority of any claim against them relating to a failure to withhold taxes as required by Applicable Law with respect to amounts described in clause (i) of this paragraph (c). -24- (d) Each assignee of a Lender's interest in this Agreement in conformity with Section 9.3 shall be bound by this Section 2.21, so that such assignee will have all of the obligations and provide all of the forms and statements and all indemnities, representations and warranties required to be given under this Section 2.21. (e) In the event that any withholding taxes shall become payable solely as a result of any change in any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation occurring after the Initial Date in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Fundamental Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.21) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 2.21, the term "Initial Date" shall mean (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, the date hereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender as of the date hereof, the date hereof and (iii) in the case of any other Lender, the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender. SECTION 2.22. CERTAIN PRICING ADJUSTMENTS. For any day that the S&P rating of the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is less than BBB- and the Moody's rating of the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is less than Baa3 (or the Borrower's senior unsecured debt is not rated by at least one of S&P and Moody's), the Applicable Margin will increase by 50 basis points. In the event that the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is rated by only one of S&P and Moody's, then that single rating shall be determinative. The Borrower shall cause its senior unsecured long-term debt to be rated by either S&P or Moody's. Any reduction of any such rating shall become effective on the date of announcement or publication by the Borrower or either such rating agency of a reduction in such rating or, in the absence of such announcement or publication, on the effective date of such decreased rating, or on the date of any request by the Borrower to either of such rating agencies not to rate its senior unsecured long-term debt or on the date either of such rating agencies announces it shall no longer rate the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt. Any increase of any such rating shall be effective on the date of announcement or publication by either of such rating agencies of an increase in rating or in the absence of announcement or publication on the effective date of such increase in rating. 3.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its discretion, to take or refrain from taking such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise or refrain from exercising such powers under the Fundamental Documents, the Term Notes and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement as are delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriate, together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as set forth in the Fundamental Documents. Any Lender which is a Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent (as indicated on the signature pages hereto) for the credit facility hereunder shall not have any duties or responsibilities except as a Lender hereunder.

(a) On the date of the making of the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Term Loan to be made by it in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and requests the Administrative Agent to advance for its account, pursuant to the terms hereof, the amount of the Term Loan to be made by it, unless with respect to any Lender, such Lender has theretofore specifically notified the Administrative Agent that such Lender does not intend to fund that particular Term Loan. Each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately available funds on the same day on which the Administrative Agent shall have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender in accordance with this Section 8.2, such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent's cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such reimbursement is not made by the second Business Day following the day on which the Administrative Agent shall have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender or such Lender has indicated that it does not intend to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall immediately pay such unreimbursed advance amount (plus any accrued, but unpaid interest at the rate applicable to ABR Term Loans) to the Administrative Agent. (b) Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or the Term Notes the application of which is not otherwise provided for shall be applied, in accordance with each of the Lenders' pro rata interest therein (and subject to Section 9.3(k) with respect to any Lender which meets its obligations hereunder by or through an SPC), first, to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Term Loans, second, to pay the principal balance outstanding on the Term Loans and third, to pay other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders. All amounts to be paid to any of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to the Lenders, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in -41- immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in such Lender's correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, or as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree. SECTION 8.3. SHARING OF SETOFFS AND CASH COLLATERAL. Each of the Lenders agrees that if it shall, through the operation of Section 2.19 hereof or the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Term Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Term Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of any of the other Lenders (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lenders a participation in the Term Loans of such other Lenders, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each of the Lenders' Term Loans and its participation in Term Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Term Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro rata. SECTION 8.4. NOTICE TO THE LENDERS. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of any communication calling for an action on the part of the Lenders, or upon notice to the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent will in turn immediately inform the other Lenders in writing (which shall include telegraphic communications) of the nature of such communication or of the Event of Default, as the case may be. SECTION 8.5. LIABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of the Lenders may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through its officers, agents, or employees and neither the Administrative Agent nor its directors, officers, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable to the Lenders or any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, or be responsible to the Lenders or to any of them for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or for any loss, unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates shall in no event be liable to the Lenders or to any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it pursuant to instructions received by it from the Required Lenders or in reliance upon the advice of counsel selected by it.

(c) The Administrative Agent in such capacity hereunder shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine or correct and to have been signed or sent by a Person or Persons believed by it to be the proper Person or Persons, and it shall be entitled to rely on advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other professional advisers and experts selected by it.

SECTION 8.7. RIGHTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Borrower as though it were not the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement. SECTION 8.8. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION BY LENDERS. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loans hereunder based on its own analysis of the transactions -43- contemplated hereby and of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not bear responsibility therefor. SECTION 8.9. NOTICE OF TRANSFER. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat any Lender that is a party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender's respective portions of the Term Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by any such Lender shall have been received by the Administrative Agent and become effective pursuant to Section 9.3.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which with the consent of the Borrower, which will not be unreasonably withheld, shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party (provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders), and all covenants, promises and agreements by, or on behalf of, the Borrower which are contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lenders. (b) Each of the Lenders may (but only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it and the Term Notes held by it); provided, however, that (1) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (2) the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Lender) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the assigning Lender's Term Loans), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (3) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Term Note subject to such assignment (if required hereunder) and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, and from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be not earlier than five Business Days after the date of acceptance and recording by the -45- Administrative Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.3, each Lender may at any time make an assignment of all or any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any Affiliate of such Lender or (ii) any other Lender hereunder. (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Fundamental Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Fundamental Documents; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) (or if none of such financial statements shall have then been delivered, then copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.4 hereof) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Fundamental Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (e) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address at which notices are to be given to it pursuant to Section 9.1, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Term Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Term Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Term Loan or other obligation hereunder as -46- the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Term Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Term Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any Term Notes subject to such assignment (if required hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee, the Administrative Agent (subject to the right, if any, of the Borrower to require its consent thereto) shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower. If a portion of the Term Loans owing to any Lender has been assigned by an assigning Lender, then such Lender shall deliver its Term Note, if any, at the same time it delivers the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent. Within five Business Days after receipt of the notice (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Borrower), the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lenders at their request, a new Term Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Term Loans assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and a new Term Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Term Loans retained by it hereunder. Any new Term Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of the respective assigning Lenders. All new Term Notes shall be dated the date hereof and shall otherwise be in substantially the forms of Exhibit A hereto. (g) Each of the Lenders may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it and the Term Note or Term Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) any such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such participant shall not be granted any voting rights under this Agreement, except with respect to matters requiring the consent of each of the Lenders hereunder, (iii) any such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.17 and 2.21(e) hereof but a participant shall not be entitled to receive pursuant to such provisions an amount larger than its share of the amount to which the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. (h) The Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.3, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree, by executing a confidentiality letter in form and substance equivalent to the confidentiality -47- provisions of Section 9.15 to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received from such Lender. (i) Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make the Term Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to preceding clauses (a) through (h), the disposition of the Term Notes or other evidence of Indebtedness held by that Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. (j) The Borrower consents that any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge, or otherwise grant a security interest in, any Term Loan or any Term Note evidencing such Term Loan (or any part thereof), including any such pledge or grant to any Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC") of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.6, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Term Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan or fund any other obligation required to be funded by it hereunder, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan or fund such obligation pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall satisfy the obligation of the Granting Lenders to make Term Loans to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Lender makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.3 any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loan to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Term Loans made by SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that it will not use the proceeds of any Term Loan made by a Lender which is funded through an SPC to be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock if such Lender (i) notifies the Borrower that its -48- Term Loan will be funded through an SPC and (ii) requests the Borrower prior to the Closing Date not to use the proceeds of its Term Loan for such purpose. SECTION 9.4. EXPENSES; DOCUMENTARY TAXES. Whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the Term Notes and the making of the Term Loans, including but not limited to any internally allocated audit costs, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, counsel to the Administrative Agent, as well as all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or the Term Notes or in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the Term Notes or any other Fundamental Document, and with respect to any action which may be instituted by any Person against any Lender in respect of the foregoing, or as a result of any transaction, action or nonaction arising from the foregoing, including but not limited to the fees and disbursements of any counsel for the Lenders. Such payments shall be made on the date of execution of this Agreement and thereafter on demand. The Borrower agrees that it shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from, and hold them harmless against, any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Term Notes or any other Fundamental Document. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Term Loans. SECTION 9.5. INDEMNITY. Further, by the execution hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) in any way relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such Indemnified Parties in connection with any one such action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Borrower's written consent, and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that this Section 9.5 shall not be construed to expand the scope of the Borrower's reimbursement obligations specified in Section 9.4. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or payment of the Term Loans. SECTION 9.6. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERM NOTES HAVE BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE -49- CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND, IN THE CASE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO INTEREST RATES, ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SECTION 9.7. NO WAIVER. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or under the Term Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. SECTION 9.8. EXTENSION OF MATURITY. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, should any payment of principal of or interest on the Term Notes or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension. SECTION 9.9. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower herefrom or therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (x) alter the stated maturity or principal amount of any installment of any Term Loan, or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon or decrease any fees payable hereunder or extend the date on which any interest payment is due, or (y) waive a default under Section 7(b) hereof with respect to a scheduled principal installment of any Term Loan; and PROVIDED, FURTHER that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of all of the Lenders (i) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, or (ii) amend this Section 9.9 or the definition of Required Lenders. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder without its prior written consent. No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Term Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Term Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by any holder of a Term Note shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Term Note, whether or not a Term Note is so marked. SECTION 9.10. SEVERABILITY. -50- Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
