2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS.

2.1 Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Credit Loan” and, as the context may require, collectively with all Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender and with the Revolving Credit Loans of all other Lenders, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount, together with such Lender’s share of the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Loans outstanding at such time, not to exceed at any time such Lender’s Commitment Amount for the purposes set forth in Section 2.15. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. The acceptance by Borrower of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty that all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 (with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made on the Effective Date) and 6 (with respect to all other Revolving Credit Loans) have been satisfied. At no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of all Lenders plus the Letter of Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Loans exceed the Total Commitment Amount. Between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date, the Borrower may borrow, prepay in whole or in part and reborrow under the Commitments at any time and from time to time, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.8, Revolving Credit Loans may be (a) Prime Rate Loans, (b) LIBOR Loans, or (c) any combination thereof.

2.1A Swing Loan Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this Section 2.1A, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment (the “Swing Loans”); provided that (i) after giving effect to any such Swing Loan, the aggregate principal balance of any Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Loans (after giving effect to the Letter of Credit Exposure) plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all Swing Loans, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; (ii) in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes (after giving effect to all amounts requested thereunder) plus the Letter of Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment Amount; (iv) no Swing Loan shall be used to repay a Swing Loan; and (v) no Lender shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement. Swing Loans shall constitute “Loans” for all purposes hereunder, but shall not be considered the utilization of a Lender’s Commitment. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 (with respect to any Swing Loans made on the Effective Date) and Section 6 (with respect to all other Swing Loans) have been satisfied on the date of such funding.

(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit J hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in such amount as may be outstanding from time to time thereunder and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Borrowing Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the

Swing Loan Lender’s record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.

(c) Each borrowing of a Swing Loan shall be subject to the limits and restrictions for Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans set forth in this Agreement. Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Borrowing Request (or a telephonic request confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Swing Loan Lender of a written Borrowing Request signed by Borrower) no later than 12:00 p.m. (i) on the requested Borrowing Date with respect to a Prime Rate Loan, and (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, with respect to a LIBOR Loan, specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan. The Borrowing Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by Section 2.3(b)(i)-(v) (provided, however, the minimum amount for such requested Swing Loan shall be $100,000.00). Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Borrowing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall either be a Prime Rate Loan or, if the Borrower has requested a LIBOR Loan (of any interest period) in the Borrowing Request delivered in connection with such Swing Loan, a LIBOR Loan having an Interest Period of seven (7) days (regardless of the Interest Period so requested), and in the event that the Borrower fails to specify whether it has selected a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed conclusively to have selected a Prime Rate Loan. If the Borrower requests a LIBOR Loan in the Borrowing Request delivered in connection with such Swing Loan, then upon the date that the Lenders shall be required to fund the Loans pursuant to Section 2.1A(d) to refund such Swing Loan, the interest rate shall be reset to correspond to the rate applicable to a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period as specified in the Borrowing Request given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in connection with such Swing Loan (such Interest Period to commence on the date of such funding of Loans by the Lenders to fund such Swing Loan), or if no Interest Period is so specified, then as a Prime Rate Loan. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be made available by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 by crediting the account of the Borrower at such office with such proceeds. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed a LIBOR Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall within three (3) days after the Borrowing Date with respect to such Swing Loan request each Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given, unless the Borrower has advised Administrative Agent in the Borrowing Request for such Swing Loan that Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan in full on the date that is seven (7) days after the making of such Swing Loan. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3 without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount for Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment Amount and the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1A(d) shall be considered a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 9.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.1A(e) shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 prior to 1:00 p.m. in funds immediately available on the date specified in such request just as if the Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such obligations of Borrower with respect to such Swing Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans. Administrative Agent may, at its option, also request that the Lenders make a Loan as provided herein in the event that the Borrower fails to repay a Swing Loan on its maturity date after having indicated that it would so repay such Swing Loan. Until such Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 are made pursuant to this paragraph, interest shall accrue under the Swing Loan only.

(e) If (i) prior to the making of a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1A(d) by all of the Lenders, one of the events described in Section 9.1(h) or (i) shall have occurred, or (ii) for any reason any Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 2.1A(d), each Lender will, on the date such Loan

pursuant to Section 2.1A(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to Section 2.1A(d) was to have been made, transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Loan as provided in Section 2.1A(d) or to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.1A(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default arising after the relevant Swing Loan was advanced by the Swing Loan Lender; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Swing Loan Lender as a Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lender as contemplated in Section 9.1. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Loan made by each Lender under its Commitment.

2.2 Notes.

(a) Revolving Credit Notes. The Loans (other than the Swing Loans) of each Lender shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit K, with appropriate insertions therein as to date and principal amount (each, as endorsed or modified from time to time, a “Revolving Credit Note” and, collectively with the Revolving Credit Notes of all other Lenders, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in the initial principal face amount equal to the original amount of the Commitment of such Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the lesser of (i) the original amount of the Commitment of such Lender and (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to any Letters of Credit and such Lender’s pro rata percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Loans based on its Commitment Percentage, plus interest and other amounts due and owing to the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Loans to the Borrower of more than the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.

(b) The Revolving Credit Notes Generally. Each Revolving Credit Note shall bear interest from the date thereof on the unpaid principal balance thereof at the applicable interest rate or rates per annum determined as provided in Section 2.9 and shall be stated to mature on the Maturity Date. The following information shall be recorded by each Lender on its books: (i) the date and amount of each Loan of such Lender; (ii) its character as a Prime Rate Loan, a LIBOR Loan or a combination thereof; (iii) the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Loans; and (iv) each payment and prepayment of the principal thereof; provided, that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make payment when due of any amount owing under the Loan Documents.

2.3 Procedure for Revolving Credit Loan Borrowings.

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Except for Revolving Credit Loans which the Borrower has requested to be made as Swing Loans (as to which provisions of Section 2.1A shall apply), and subject to the limitations set forth

in Sections 2.1 and 2.3(c), the Borrower may borrow under the Commitments on any Business Day between the Effective Date and the Maturity Date by providing notice thereof in accordance with Section 2.3(b).

(b) Borrowing Requests. To request Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans or (ii) in the case of a Prime Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon one (1) Business Day before the date of such proposed advance. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information: (A) the aggregate amount of the requested borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans; (B) the date of such borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, which shall be a Business Day; (C) whether the requested Revolving Credit Loan is to be a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan; (D) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and (E) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.3(d).

(c) Limits on Advances. Each borrowing of (i) Prime Rate Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the Available Commitment Amount, and (ii) LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the Available Commitment Amount.

(d) Funding of Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt of each Borrowing Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof. Subject to its receipt of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, each Lender will make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.2 not later than 11:00 a.m. on the relevant Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at such office. The amounts so made available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date will then, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, be made available on such date to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of said amounts received by the Administrative Agent, provided that Revolving Credit Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a payment made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.5 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.

(e) Effect of Incomplete Borrowing Request. If no election is made as to the whether the Revolving Credit Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, then the requested Revolving Credit Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested borrowing of LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(f) Administrative Agent’s Assumption. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice from a Lender (by telephone or otherwise, such notice to be promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share of the Loans (including, without limitation, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with this Section, provided that such Lender received notice of the proposed borrowing from the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such pro rata share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount (to the extent not previously paid by the other), together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Borrower, the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 2.9 for Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, as initially requested by Borrower, and, in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with

the foregoing. Such payment by the Borrower, however, shall be without prejudice to its rights against such Lender. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of the Loans for purposes of this Agreement, which Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loans, but without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights against such Lender.

(g) Reduction or Termination of Commitments.

(i) The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time to terminate the Commitments or from time to time to permanently reduce the Commitments, provided that (A) the Total Commitment Amount shall not be reduced below an amount equal to the sum of the aggregate principal balance of the Loans plus the Letter of Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Loans (in each case after giving effect to any contemporaneous prepayment of the Loans) then outstanding thereunder, and (B) any such reduction of the Commitments shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. In the event that the Total Commitment Amount is reduced below the Swing Loan Commitment, the Swing Loan Commitment shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Total Commitment Amount, as reduced. Upon receipt of each such notice of termination or permanent reduction of Commitments from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall from time to time to permanently reduce the Commitments to the extent required by and otherwise in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.7(b) and 8.15(c) hereof. In the event that the Total Commitment Amount is reduced below the Swing Loan Commitment, the Swing Loan Commitment shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Total Commitment Amount, as reduced.

(iii) Reductions of the Commitments shall be applied pro rata according to the Commitments of each Lender, as the case may be. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Commitments under this Section, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans outstanding thereunder by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Loans plus the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the amount of the Commitments, as so reduced. Simultaneously with a termination of the Commitments under this Section, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Fee accrued (but not yet paid) with respect to the portion of the Commitment being terminated at such time. If any prepayment is made under this Section with respect to any LIBOR Loans, in whole or in part, prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.

2.4 [Intentionally Omitted.] [NOT STANDARD FOR CLUB DEAL]

2.5 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date through the day that is seven (7) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit L hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the outstanding Letters of Credit (including Letters of Credit accepted but unpaid) shall not exceed Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the amount of the Loans outstanding and the amount of Letters of Credit outstanding (after giving effect to the Letter of Credit Exposure) exceed the Total Commitment Amount, (iv) the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Signatory of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender. The Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by

its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it. In addition, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of such Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit (other than any extension of the original term of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(d)) shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is seven (7) days prior to the Maturity Date (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Commitment Amount as a Loan. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto as Letters of Credit, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later time as may be permitted by the Issuing Lender, in its discretion) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of Section 2.15 of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by an Authorized Signatory of the Borrower that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 6 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation approval by Issuing Lender of the content of the Letter of Credit Request), the Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall provide copies of each Letter of Credit to the Lenders.

(d) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the beneficiary thereof (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit, at any time to an expiry date that may or may not extend beyond the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (i) the Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form

(as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.05(a) or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is thirty (30) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension, and provided further, however, that in the event that the expiry date of any Letter of Credit (whether or not such Letter of Credit is an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit) shall extend beyond the date that is after the Maturity Date and if as of the date that is seven (7) days prior to the Maturity Date, any such Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure (in an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Exposure).

(e) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit, provided, however, that with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Effective Date, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a subparticipation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Existing Letters of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate or subparticipate, as applicable, in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

(f) In connection with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay (i) directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account, a fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not, on an annual basis, be less than $500.00 in any event) (the “Letter of Credit Fronting Fees”), and (ii) the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation or subparticipation, as applicable, in such Letter of Credit, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Commission Fees”). The Letter of Credit Fronting Fees payable under clause (i) above shall be (A) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (B) payable (w) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and December, (x) upon the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit, (y) on any termination of the Total Commitment Amount, and (z) on the Maturity Date. The Letter of Credit Commission Fees payable under clause (ii) above shall be (A) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and (B) payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September, and December, (y) on any termination of the Total Commitment Amount, and (z) on the Maturity Date. In addition to and concurrently with the payment of the Letter of Credit Commission Fees and the Letter of Credit Fronting Fees, Borrower shall pay directly to, the applicable Issuing Lender its customary issuance, presentation, amendment, and other processing fees, and all other standard costs and charges of such Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect (such charges not to exceed $500.00).

(g) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of such payment by the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Prime Rate Loan under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw occurs, such Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw occurred until the date on which such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations and subparticipations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Administrative Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this Section 2.5(g) until such amount has been funded (as a

result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority position for such amounts as provided in Section 9.1. The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Administrative Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5(g).

(h) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(g), one of the events described in Section 9.1(h) or (i) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(g) was to have been made, transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation or subparticipation, as applicable, based on that Loan that it was to have made on such date and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate or subparticipation certificate, as applicable, dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(i) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest or subparticipating interest, as applicable, in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest or subparticipating interest, as applicable, was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

(j) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(k) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) any breach of any agreement between Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (v) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vi) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender, and (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

(l) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof;

(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Administrative Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower.

(m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

2.6 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Promise to Pay. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that Swing Loans shall be paid pursuant to Section 2.1A.

(b) Lenders’ Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the debt of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Accounts. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and payment made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit made hereunder, the type of Advance thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any other sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Entries Made in Accounts. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note and absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender, the Swing Loan Lender or the Administrative Agent, to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans or any payment made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to make any payments in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(e) Loans Evidenced by Notes. The Loans and interest thereon shall, upon request of the applicable Lenders, be evidenced by one or more Notes in like form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

2.7 Prepayments of the Loans.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than any indemnification amounts, as provided for in Section 2.14) at any time and from time to time by notifying the Administrative Agent in writing not later than the Business Day on which Loans consisting of Prime Rate Loans are prepaid and at least three Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date in the case of Loans consisting of LIBOR Loans, specifying the Loans to be prepaid consisting of Prime Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans or a combination thereof, the amount to be prepaid and the date of prepayment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof. Partial prepayments of (i) Prime Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Swing Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000, or, if less, the outstanding principal balance thereof. After giving effect to any partial prepayment with respect to LIBOR Loans which were converted on the same date and which had the same Interest Period, the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans shall be at least (subject to Section 2.8(a)) $1,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Any Loans prepaid may be reborrowed as provided in Section 2.1 and 2.1A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be payable as follows:

(i) the amount, if any, by which the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (after giving effect to all amounts disbursed thereunder) plus the Letter of Credit Exposure plus the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding, at any time exceeds the Total Commitment Amount shall be payable immediately;

(ii) the amount, if any, by which the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Exposure plus the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding, at any time exceeds the Total Commitment Amount shall be payable immediately;

(iii) the amount, if any which the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Exposure plus the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding, at any time following the Trigger Date exceeds the amount of liability of the Centro Parties under the Centro Party Guaranty as determined in accordance with Section 1.1(c) thereof; provided, that any prepayment made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Commitments hereunder by an amount equal to the difference between $350 million and the amount of liability of the Centro Parties under the Centro Party Guaranty as determined in accordance with Section 1.1(c) thereof; and

(iv) the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date.

Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 2.7(b)(i) or (ii) above, Borrower shall immediately upon demand from Administrative Agent pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent first for the account of Swing Loan Lender for application to outstanding Swing Loans and second for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application first to Prime Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans

(c) In General. If any prepayment is made in respect of any Advance, in whole or in part, prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14.

(d) Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans (other than Prime Rate Loans) under Section 2.7(a) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of any outstanding Swing Loans, and then to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.

2.8 Conversions.

(a) Conversion Elections. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so converted, provided, that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. In addition, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans or to convert LIBOR Loans to new LIBOR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so converted and the initial Interest Period relating thereto, provided that any such conversion of Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall only be made on a Business Day and any such conversion of LIBOR Loans to new LIBOR Loans shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the LIBOR Loans which are to be converted to such new LIBOR Loans. Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit M and must be delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon on the Business Day required by this Section for the delivery of such notices to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with notice of any such election. Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans may be converted pursuant to this Section in whole or in part, provided that conversions of Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, or LIBOR Loans to new LIBOR

Loans, shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. This Section shall not apply to Swing Loans, which may not be converted or continued beyond the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b) Effect on Conversions if an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, no Prime Rate Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Loan, and no LIBOR Loan may be converted to a new LIBOR Loan, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing either (i) at the time the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its election to convert or (ii) on the requested Conversion Date. In such event, such Prime Rate Loan shall be automatically continued as a Prime Rate Loan or such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan.

(c) Conversion not a Borrowing. Each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of its new Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, as applicable, to its Advances (or portion thereof) being converted (it being understood that any such conversion shall not constitute a borrowing for purposes of Sections 4, 5 or 6).

2.9 Interest Rate and Payment Dates.

(a) Prior to Maturity. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(b), prior to the Maturity Date, the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at the applicable interest rate or rates per annum set forth below:

ADVANCES		RATE

Each Prime Rate Loan		Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Each LIBOR Loan		LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

Swing Loans		The rate for the applicable Swing Loan determined pursuant to Section 2.1A.

(b) Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of (i) the LIBOR Rate Loans and any overdue interest with respect thereto shall bear interest, whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon, at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% and (ii) the Prime Rate Loans and any overdue interest with respect thereto or other overdue amount payable under the Loan Documents shall bear interest, whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% (the “Default Rate”).

(c) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loans prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) General. Interest on (i) Prime Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (ii) LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last. Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from a change in the Prime Rate or a Pricing Level shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the Prime Rate or a Pricing Level, but any failure to so notify shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the Loans in the amounts and on the dates required. Each determination of the Prime Rate, a LIBOR or a Pricing Level by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error. At no time shall the interest rate payable on the Loans of any Lender (including Swing Loan Lender), together with the Facility Fee and all other amounts payable

under the Loan Documents, to the extent the same are construed to constitute interest, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If interest payable to a Lender (including Swing Loan Lender) on any date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest payment shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permitted amount, and interest for any subsequent period, to the extent less than the maximum amount permitted for such period by the Highest Lawful Rate, shall be increased by the unpaid amount of such reduction. Any interest actually received for any period in excess of such maximum allowable amount for such period shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans. The Borrower acknowledges that the Prime Rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on Prime Rate Loans on the Prime Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrower has not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make loans to other borrowers.

2.10 �� Substituted Interest Rate.

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section 2.9 or (ii) the Required Lenders shall have notified the Administrative Agent that they have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the applicable LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding loans bearing interest based on such LIBOR, with respect to any portion of the Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans that will result from the requested conversion of any portion of the Advances into LIBOR Loans (each, an “Affected Advance”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (by telephone or otherwise, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such determination, on or, to the extent practicable, prior to the requested Borrowing Date or Conversion Date for such Affected Advances. If the Administrative Agent shall give such notice, (a) any Affected Advances shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (b) the Advances (or any portion thereof) that were to have been converted to Affected Advances shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (c) any outstanding Affected Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Prime Rate Loans. Until any notice under clauses (i) or (ii), as the case may be, of this Section has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (by notice to the Borrower promptly upon either (x) the Administrative Agent having determined that such circumstances affecting the LIBOR market no longer exist and that adequate and reasonable means do exist for determining the LIBOR pursuant to Section 2.9 or (y) the Administrative Agent having been notified by such Required Lenders that circumstances no longer render the Advances (or any portion thereof) Affected Advances), no further LIBOR Loans shall be required to be made by the Lenders nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert all or any portion of the Loans to LIBOR Loans.

2.11 Taxes; Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings required by law to be withheld from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents. A statement setting forth the calculations of any amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph submitted by a Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender which is a foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 1442 of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower such certificates, documents or other evidence as the Borrower may reasonably require from time to time as are necessary to establish that such Lender is not subject to withholding under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code or as may be necessary to establish, under any law hereafter imposing upon the Borrower, an obligation to withhold any portion of the payments made by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, that payments to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender are not subject to withholding.

2.12 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive hereafter enacted, promulgated, approved or issued, or any change in any presently existing law, regulation, treaty or directive, or in

the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Credit Party to make or maintain its LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Credit Party shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Credit Parties and the Borrower, whereupon (a) the commitment of such Credit Party hereunder to make LIBOR Loans or convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Credit Party’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans affected hereby, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or within such earlier period as required by law. If the commitment of any Credit Party with respect to LIBOR Loans is suspended pursuant to this Section and thereafter it is once again legal for such Credit Party to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such Credit Party’s commitment to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be reinstated and such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the conditions giving rise to the notice requirement set forth in this Section can be eliminated by the transfer of such Credit Party’s Loans or Commitment to another of its branches, and to the extent that such transfer is not inconsistent with such Credit Party’s internal policies of general application and only if, as determined by such Credit Party in its sole discretion, the transfer of such Loan or Commitment, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or such Credit Party, the Borrower may request, and such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to effect, such transfer.

2.13 Increased Costs.

In the event that any law, regulation, treaty or directive hereafter enacted, promulgated, approved or issued or any change in any presently existing law, regulation, treaty or directive therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or compliance by any Credit Party (or any corporation directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Credit Party) with any request or directive, whether or not having the force of law, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, agency or instrumentality:

(a) does or shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to any LIBOR Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation or subparticipation therein or its obligations under this Agreement to make LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate or subparticipate therein, or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Credit Party of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder in respect of its LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or participations or subparticipations therein, including any Taxes required to be withheld from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents (except for (i) imposition of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of such Credit Party or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Advances by any jurisdiction, including, in the case of Credit Parties incorporated in any State of the United States, such tax imposed by the United States and (ii) any franchise, unincorporated business or gains taxes); or

(b) does or shall impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, assessment, increased cost or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Credit Party in respect of its LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or participations or subparticipations therein, which, in the case of LIBOR Loans, is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making, issuing, renewing, converting or maintaining its LIBOR Loans, issuing Letters of Credit or participating or subparticipating therein, or its commitment to make such LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate or subparticipate therein, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect of its LIBOR Loans, Letters of Credit or participation or subparticipation therein, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay such Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party for such additional cost or reduction in such amount receivable which such Credit Party deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Credit Party; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall require the Borrower to indemnify the Credit Parties with respect to withholding Taxes for which the Borrower has no obligation under Section 2.11. No failure by any Credit Party to demand compensation for any increased cost during any Interest Period shall constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation at any time. A statement setting forth the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by a Credit Party to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any of the Commitments or the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days and shall thereafter terminate forever. Failure to demand

compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation. To the extent that any increased costs of the type referred to in this Section are being incurred by a Credit Party and such costs can be eliminated or reduced by the transfer of such Credit Party’s Loans or Commitment to another of its branches, and to the extent that such transfer is not inconsistent with such Credit Party’s internal policies of general application and only if, as determined by such Credit Party in its sole discretion, the transfer of such Loan or Commitment, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loan or such Credit Party, the Borrower may request, and such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect, such transfer.

2.14 Indemnification for Break Funding Losses.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (a) the Borrower shall fail to borrow on the Borrowing Date, if it shall have requested a LIBOR Loan, or shall fail to convert on a Conversion Date, after it shall have given notice to do so in which it shall have requested a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.8, or (b) a LIBOR Loan shall be terminated or prepaid for any reason prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including, without limitation, any mandatory prepayment or a prepayment resulting from acceleration or illegality), the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Credit Party against, and to pay on demand directly to such Credit Party, any loss or expense suffered by such Credit Party as a result of such failure to borrow or convert, or such termination or repayment, including, without limitation, an amount, if greater than zero, equal to:

A x (B-C) x D/360

where:

“A” equals such Credit Party’s pro rata share of the Affected Principal Amount;

“B” equals the applicable LIBOR;

“C” equals the applicable LIBOR in effect on or about the first day of the applicable Remaining Interest Period, based on the applicable rates offered on or about such date, for deposits in an amount equal approximately to such Credit Party’s pro rata share of the Affected Principal Amount with an Interest Period equal approximately to the applicable Remaining Interest Period, as determined by such Credit Party;

“D” equals the number of days from and including the first day of the applicable Remaining Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Remaining Interest Period;

and any other out of pocket loss or expense (including any internal processing charge customarily charged by such Credit Party) suffered by such Credit Party in connection with such LIBOR Loan including, without limitation, in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the funding of its pro rata share of the Affected Principal Amount, or redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to its pro rata share of the Affected Principal Amount. A statement setting forth the calculations of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Credit Party to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

2.15 Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of Loans and the issuances of Letters of Credit shall be used solely (a) to repay other Indebtedness; and (b) for general business purposes, including, without limitation, working capital.

2.16 Capital Adequacy.

If (a) after the date hereof, the enactment or promulgation of, or any change or phasing in of, any United States or foreign law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, (b) compliance with any directive or guideline from any central bank or United States or foreign Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) promulgated or made after the date hereof, or (c) compliance with the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as set forth in 12 CFR Parts 208 and 225, or of the Comptroller of the Currency, Department of the Treasury, as set

forth in 12 CFR Part 3, or similar legislation, rules, guidelines, directives or regulations under any applicable United States or foreign Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by a Credit Party (or any lending office of such Credit Party) or any corporation directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Credit Party or imposes any restriction on or otherwise adversely affects such Credit Party (or any lending office of such Credit Party) or any corporation directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Credit Party and such Credit Party shall have reasonably determined that such enactment, promulgation, change or compliance has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or the asset value to such Credit Party of any Loan made by such Credit Party, or Letter of Credit issued by such Credit Party (or participation or subparticipation therein) as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of its obligations to make and maintain the funding of its Loans or issue Letters of Credit or participate or subparticipate therein at a level below that which such Credit Party could have achieved but for such enactment, promulgation, change or compliance (after taking into account such Credit Party’s policies regarding capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Credit Party to be material, then, upon demand by such Credit Party, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Credit Party for such reduction in such rate of return or asset value. A certificate in reasonable detail as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent setting forth the determination of such amount or amounts that will compensate such Credit Party for such reductions shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. No failure by any Credit Party to demand compensation for such amounts hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation at any time. Such Credit Party shall, however, use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such claim within 90 days after the officer of such Credit Party having primary responsibility for this Agreement has obtained knowledge of the events giving rise to such claim. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

2.17 Administrative Agent’s Records.

The Administrative Agent’s records with respect to the Loans, the interest rates applicable thereto, each payment by the Borrower of principal and interest on the Loans, and fees, expenses and any other amounts due and payable in connection with this Agreement shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error as to the amount of the Loans, and the amount of principal and interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Loans and as to the other information relating to the Loans, and amounts paid and payable by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes. The Administrative Agent will when requested by the Borrower advise the Borrower of the principal and interest outstanding under the Loans as of the date of such request and the dates on which such payments are due.

2.18 [Intentionally Omitted.]

2.19 Representative of Borrower.

Borrower hereby appoints each of the Authorized Signatories as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the purpose of making Borrowing Requests, Letter of Credit Requests, payment and prepayment of Loans, the giving and receipt of notices by and to Borrower under this Agreement and all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Borrower agrees that any action taken by any such Authorized Signatory as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of Borrower shall be binding on Borrower to the same extent as if directly taken by Borrower.

3. FEES; PAYMENTS.

3.1 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage, a fee (the “Facility Fee”), from the Effective Date through the Maturity Date, computed as follows: while any Loans are outstanding, an amount, determined periodically as hereinafter set forth, equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage times (ii) the average daily Total Commitment Amount during the quarter for which the Facility Fee is being paid times (iii) a fraction equal to the number of days elapsed during such quarter (or portion thereof during which this Agreement was in effect) divided by 360. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such day following the Effective Date, on any

termination of the Total Commitment Amount, and on the Maturity Date. The Facility Fee (and the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed without regard to the amount of Loans outstanding during any period for which the Facility Fee is computed.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to Bank of America and BAS on the Effective Date, an all arrangement, commitment and loan structuring fees (collectively, the “Bank of America Fee”), as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. Bank of America shall pay to the other Lenders a commitment and loan structuring fee in accordance with their respective separate agreements.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay any other fees payable to any Credit Party under any separate agreement at the times so agreed upon in such separate agreements.

(d) The Bank of America Fee shall be paid on the date due, in immediately available funds, to Bank of America or BAS, as applicable. All fees and other amounts payable under paragraph (a) of this Section shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of the Facility Fee and participation fees described therein, and other fees and amounts payable under this Section shall be payable directly to the Credit Party to whom such fees and other amounts are payable. The Bank of America Fee, the Facility Fee and all other fees and amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

3.2 Payments; Application of Payments.

Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Loans and the Facility Fee, the Bank of America Fee, the Administrative Agent’s fees, Letter of Credit fees and any other amounts due hereunder shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or Bank of America, as applicable, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, at its office set forth in Section 11.2 in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at such office by 12:00 noon on the due date for such payment. Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall remit, in like funds as received, (a) to the Lenders who maintain any of their Loans as Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, each such Lender’s pro rata share of such payments which are in respect of principal or interest due on such Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (b) [intentionally omitted], (c) in the case of the Facility Fee, to all Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Lenders Commitment Percentage thereof, (d) in the case of Swing Loan fees, to the Swing Loan Lender, and (e) in the case of Letter of Credit fees, to the Issuing Lender and the Lenders as provided in Section 2.5; provided that any such payment shall, to the extent distributed after the Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, be accompanied by interest on such payment amount (payable by the Administrative Agent) calculated at the Federal Funds Rate commencing as of the date which is two (2) days following the Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such payment through the date on which the Administrative Agent makes such payment to the applicable Lender(s). The failure of the Borrower to make any such payment by such time shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 12:00 noon on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Loans. If any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided in the definition of Interest Period) shall be extended to the next Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension. If any payment is made with respect to any LIBOR Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender in accordance with Section 2.14.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

4.1 Existence and Power.

(a) The Borrower (i) is a Maryland limited liability company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is in good standing and authorized to do business in each

jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the Property owned therein make such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Subsidiary of the Borrower (including each Subsidiary Guarantor) (i) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, real estate investment trust or business trust, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and (ii) is in good standing and authorized to do business in each other jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the Property owned therein make such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.2 Authority.

The Borrower has full legal power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to make the borrowings contemplated thereby, to execute, deliver and carry out the terms of the Notes and to incur the obligations provided for herein and therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action.

4.3 Binding Agreement.

(a) The Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not violate the provisions of any applicable statute, law (including, without limitation, any applicable usury or similar law), rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority.

4.4 Subsidiaries; DownREIT Partnerships.

As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has only the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 4.4. Schedule 4.4 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary of the Borrower and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case as of the Effective Date. The shares of each corporate Subsidiary of the Borrower that are owned by the Borrower are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned free and clear of any Liens. The interest of the Borrower in each non-corporate Subsidiary is owned free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens applicable to a partner under the terms of any partnership agreement, or those applicable to a member under the terms of any limited liability company operating agreement, to secure the Borrower’s obligation to make capital contributions or similar payments thereunder). As of the Effective Date, the only DownREIT Partnership is Excel Realty Partners, L.P. and the only Subsidiaries of Excel Realty Partners, L.P. are as set forth on Schedule 4.4. As of the Effective Date, there is no Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than ERT Development Corporation) that is a guarantor of any unsecured Indebtedness of Borrower (other than the Loans) that is not also a Subsidiary Guarantor.

4.5 Litigation.

(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.5, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of their respective Properties or rights, which (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) call into question the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or (iii) could reasonably be expected to result in the rescission, termination or cancellation of any franchise, right, license, permit or similar authorization held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, which rescission, termination or cancellation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) As of the date hereof, Schedule 4.5 sets forth all actions, suits and proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of their respective Properties or rights which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Required Consents.

No consent, authorization or approval of, filing with, notice to, or exemption by, stockholders, any Governmental Authority or any other Person not obtained is required to be obtained by the Borrower to authorize, or (except for filings required to be made with the SEC) is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents or is required to be obtained by the Borrower as a condition to the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents.

4.7 No Conflicting Agreements.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period under any mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound, the effect of which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery or carrying out of the terms of the Loan Documents will not constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement.

4.8 Compliance with Applicable Laws.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is in default with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or decision of any Governmental Authority which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, rules and orders applicable to Borrower or such Subsidiary of all Governmental Authorities, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and ERISA, a violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Taxes.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns required to be filed and has paid, or has filed appropriate extensions and has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against it (other than those being contested as permitted under Section 7.4) in which the failure to pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no tax Liens have been filed with respect thereto. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower with respect to all federal, state, local and other taxes are, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, adequate for the payment of all such taxes, and the Borrower knows of no unpaid assessment which is due and payable against it or any of its Subsidiaries or any claims being asserted which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Governmental Regulations.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is subject to any statute or regulation which prohibits or restricts the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, statutes or regulations relative to common or contract carriers or to the sale of electricity, gas, steam, water, telephone, telegraph or other public utility services.

4.11 Federal Reserve Regulations; Use of Loan Proceeds.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for a purpose which violates any law, rule or regulation

of any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

4.12 Plans; Multiemployer Plans.

As of the Effective Date, each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates maintains or makes contributions only to the Plans and Multiemployer Plans listed on Schedule 4.12. Each Plan, and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Federal or state law, and no event or condition is occurring or exists concerning which the Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish a report to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as required by Section 7.2(d). As of May 31, 2006, each Plan was “fully funded”, which for purposes of this Section means that the fair market value of the assets of such Plan is not less than the present value of the accrued benefits of all participants in the Plan, computed on a plan termination basis. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Plan has ceased being fully funded.

4.13 Financial Statements.

The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (a) copies of the audited consolidated balance sheet of NXL and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and the quarterly unaudited officer-certified financial statements of the Borrower as of the quarter ending March 31, 2007 (collectively, with the related notes and schedules, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the Consolidated financial condition and results of the operations of NXL and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (as applicable) as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP (subject, in the case of quarterly financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end adjustments). Except as reflected in the Financial Statements or in the notes thereto, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower has, as of the Effective Date, any obligation or liability of any kind (whether fixed, accrued, contingent, unmatured or otherwise) involving material amounts which, in accordance with GAAP, should have been shown on the Financial Statements and was not. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), operations, prospects or business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower taken as a whole.

4.14 Property.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of its Property, title to which is material to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, subject to no Liens, except Permitted Liens. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or similar taxes or assessments on or against any Real Property other than (a) real estate or other taxes or assessments that are not yet due and payable, and (b) such taxes as the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower is contesting in good faith or which individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. There are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any Real Property, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any Governmental Authority against any Real Property, which pending, threatened or contemplated proceedings individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Real Property is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.15 Franchises, Intellectual Property, Etc.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries possesses or has the right to use all franchises, Intellectual Property, licenses and other rights, in each case that are material and necessary for the conduct of its business, with no known conflict with the valid rights of others which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which permits or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, after notice or the lapse of time or both, or any other condition, could reasonably be expected to permit, the revocation or termination of any such franchise, Intellectual Property, license or other right and which revocation or termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.16 Environmental Matters.

(a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable Environmental Laws except for such non-compliance which could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No Hazardous Substances have been (i) generated or manufactured on, transported to or from, treated at, stored at or discharged from any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws; (ii) discharged into subsurface waters under any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws; or (iii) discharged from any Real Property on or into property or waters (including subsurface waters) adjacent to any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws, which violation, in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii) could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has received notice (written or oral) or otherwise learned of any claim, demand, suit, action, proceeding, event, condition, report, directive, lien, violation, non-compliance or investigation indicating or concerning any potential or actual liability (including, without limitation, potential liability for enforcement, investigatory costs, cleanup costs, government response costs, removal costs, remedial costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal injuries or penalties) arising in connection with (x) any non-compliance with or violation of the requirements of any applicable Environmental Laws, or (y) the presence of any Hazardous Substance on any Real Property (or any Real Property previously owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or the release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance into the environment which, in either case, could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has any threatened or actual liability in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substance on any Real Property (or any Real Property previously owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or the release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance into the environment which, in either case, could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) has received notice of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on any Real Property (or any Real Property previously owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or a release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance into the environment for which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower is or may be liable the results of which could, in either case, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) has received notice that the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower is or may be liable to any Person under any Environmental Law which liability could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, no Real Property is located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards, or if any such Real Property is located in such a special flood hazard area, then the Borrower has obtained all insurance that is required to be maintained by law or which is customarily maintained by Persons engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower operates.

4.17 Labor Relations.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement, other than the collective bargaining agreement covering fewer than 25 employees at the Roosevelt Mall Shopping Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no petition has been filed or proceedings instituted by any employee or group of employees with any labor relations board seeking recognition of a bargaining representative with respect to the Borrower or such Subsidiary. There are no material controversies pending between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any of their respective employees, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.19 Solvency.

On the Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Loan (assuming for the purposes of this paragraph that the Letter of Credit Exposure is included as a part of the Loans), and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loan: (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, including Contingent Obligations, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and mature; (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and mature; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted hereafter.

Additionally, in the event that any Subsidiary of the Borrower, whether presently existing or hereafter formed or acquired, which is not a Subsidiary Guarantor at such time, shall after the date hereof become a guarantor under any existing or future unsecured Indebtedness of Borrower, then promptly after the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver a Guaranty to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, duly executed by such Subsidiaries (together with certificates and attachments of a nature similar to those described in Section 5.1(b) and (c) with respect to such Subsidiaries and an opinion of counsel of a nature similar to those in the form required pursuant to Section 5.6 (c)).

(b) Incur or permit any Subsidiary to incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets; or

(c) Incur or permit any Subsidiary to incur, notwithstanding compliance with any of the other covenants set forth herein, any additional Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than intercompany debt that is subordinated to the obligations hereunder) during the term hereof except to the extent such Indebtedness is either (i) refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness existing as of the date hereof and entered into on then-current market terms and conditions or terms and conditions more favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary and with respect to which any excess proceeds obtained above the amount required to repay such refinanced Indebtedness are used to prepay, to the extent required thereunder and to the extent no Event of Default is then-continuing, the Bridge Facility to permanently reduce the Indebtedness under the Bridge Facility or, if not so required or if an Event of Default is then-continuing, to prepay the Indebtedness under this Agreement (which prepayment shall be made together with a permanent reduction in the Total Commitments pursuant to Section 2.3(g) in the full amount of such prepaid Indebtedness) or (ii) constitutes Non-Recourse Indebtedness and, in any case, 100% of the net proceeds of such Indebtedness (after, in the case of subclause (i) above, refinancing of the applicable Indebtedness) are used to prepay, to the extent required thereunder and to the extent no Event of Default is then-continuing, the Bridge Facility to permanently reduce the Indebtedness under the Bridge Facility or, if not so required or if an Event of Default is then-continuing, to prepay the Indebtedness under this Agreement (which prepayment shall be made together with a permanent reduction in the Total Commitments pursuant to Section 2.3(g) in the full amount of such prepaid Indebtedness).

The Borrower hereby further expressly waives and covenants not to assert any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or similar laws, now or at any time hereafter in force which might delay, prevent or otherwise impede the performance or enforcement of any Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if demanded by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion (a) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has not been reimbursed on the date when made or refinanced as a Prime Rate Loan, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Administrative Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other obligations hereunder. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, Administrative Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or if there are no such outstanding obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by Borrower will be released to Borrower.

provided, however, that distributions in respect of such fees and expenses due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower shall be made pari passu with respect to the payment of any other fees, expenses or amounts due the Lenders from the Borrower; (iv) fourth, to the payment of interest due on the Swing Note; (v) fifth, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Swing Note; (vi) sixth, to the payment of interest due on the Notes; (vii) seventh, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Notes; and (viii) eighth, to the payment of any other amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders under any Loan Document or other document or agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby. In the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under Section 2.1, 2.1A, 2.3 or 2.5 and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by the other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other obligations described in subsections (ii) – (viii) in the preceding sentence.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as provided in Section 10.8 and 10.12, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as

the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 and 9.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V, Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. To the extent any Lender requests any materials or information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable good faith efforts to deliver such materials or information to such Lender promptly following such request.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying in good faith upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 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, 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 Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from a Lender or the Borrower. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided, however, 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 to be in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, and shall apply to any such Related Parties’ activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

10.7 Indemnification.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify and reimburse the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata according to its Commitment, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, any amounts paid to the Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) by the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must

otherwise be restored or returned) which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

10.8 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment in writing within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender prior to the end of the 60th day from such notice from among any of the Lenders who shall have at such time agreed to act as the successor Administrative Agent and shall have at such time a Commitment of at least $10,000,000 (an “Approved Successor”). If no Lender has a Commitment of at least $10,000,000 (or no Lender whose Commitment is at least $10,000,000 shall agree to accept such appointment), then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint any other Lender or any other commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as a successor Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be given in any event prior to the end of the 60th day from the date of the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of removal or resignation, provided that during any period in which there exists and is continuing an Event of Default, no consultation with, or approval from, the Borrower with respect to the appointment of an Approved Successor shall be required. Upon the acceptance of an appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and any required approval of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. The Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent from its capacity as administrative agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent selected by the Required Lenders. Any successor Administrative Agent must satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 10.8 (including, without limitation, the consultation with, and approval from, the Borrower, to the extent required under this Section 10.8). 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 rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Administrative Agent, and the removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, provided that the Administrative Agent shall remain liable to the extent provided in the Loan Documents for its actions and omissions occurring prior to such removal. The Commitment of the Lender which is acting as Administrative Agent shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Required Lenders for the purposes of removing Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.5 and 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by, or removal of, Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation or removal, as applicable, as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, (b) the retiring or removed Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring or removed Issuing Lender to effectively assume, at the time of such succession, the obligations of the retiring or removed Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After the retiring Issuing Lender’s and Swing Lender’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.5 and 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Issuing Lender and Swing Lender, their sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Issuing Lender and Swing Lender were acting as Issuing Lender and Swing Lender, respectively.

10.9 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.10 No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book Manager or the Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

10.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Exposure 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 or Letter of Credit Exposure and all other obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Loan Documents 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 Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.5(f) 3.1, 11.5 and 11.12) 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 Lender and the Issuing Lender 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 Lenders and the Issuing Lender, 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 3.1, 11.5 and 11.12.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, or the Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Loan Documents or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.12 Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if (i) such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or own any assets (other than assets of nominal value) as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or (ii) the Borrower otherwise requests such release and provides evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that after giving effect to such release the Borrower will be in compliance with all covenants under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations under Section 7.11.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.12.

11. OTHER PROVISIONS.

With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications of the Loan Documents and, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may execute and deliver to any such parties a written instrument waiving or a consent to a departure from, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of the Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders: (a) extend the Maturity Date; (b) decrease the rate, or extend the time of payment, of interest of, or change or forgive the principal amount of, or change the requirement that payments and prepayments of principal on, and payments of interest on, the Notes be made pro rata to the Lenders on the basis of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, (c) amend the definitions of “Required Lender”, (d) amend any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action, (e) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty except as provided in Sections 8.2 or 10.12, or (f) reduce any fee payable for the account of the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.1 or change the provisions of this Section 11.1; and provided further that no such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall amend, modify, waive or consent to a departure from any provision of Section 10 or otherwise change any of the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. In addition, no Commitment of any Lender may be increased or decreased without the approval of such Lender except, with respect to decreases of a Lender’s Commitment, in connection with a pro rata reduction of the Total Commitment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall cause a copy of each written request for such an amendment, supplement or modification delivered by the Borrower to it to be delivered to each Lender. Any such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the parties to the applicable agreement, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes.

All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes.

The Borrower agrees, promptly upon presentation of a statement or invoice therefor, and whether any Loan is made (a)to pay or reimburse Bank of America, Administrative Agent and Bank of America in its capacity as Lead Arranger for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of, the Loan Documents, the syndication of the loan transaction evidenced by this Agreement (whether or not such syndication is completed) and any amendment, supplement or modification hereto (whether or not executed), any documents prepared in connection therewith and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Special Counsel, (b) to pay or reimburse each Credit Party for all of its respective reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in connection with (i) any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from any Event of Default (including, without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred after the entry of judgment in an attempt to collect money due in the judgment) or in connection with the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out” (whether consummated or not) of the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii)the enforcement of this Section, (c)

to pay, indemnify, and hold each Credit Party harmless from and against, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify and hold each Credit Party and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, controlling persons and attorneys (as used in this Section, each an “indemnified person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) with respect to any claim, investigation or proceeding from any third party relating to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including the enforcement and performance of the Loan Documents and the use of the proceeds of the Loans (all the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), whether or not any such indemnified person is a party to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and to reimburse each indemnified person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any indemnified liabilities, and, if and to the extent that the foregoing indemnity may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum payment permitted or not prohibited under applicable law; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to pay indemnified liabilities to any Credit Party arising from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party or (B) disputes solely between the Credit Parties and which are not related to any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or the failure of the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses referred to in clause (d) of the preceding paragraph shall not be payable by the Borrower if (x) any such enforcement action brought by such Credit Party is dismissed, with prejudice, on the pleadings or pursuant to a motion made by the Borrower for summary judgment, and (y) if such Credit Party appeals such dismissal, such dismissal is affirmed and the time for any further appeals has expired. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

11.6 Lending Offices.

Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to transfer its Loans to a different office, provided that such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any such change of office. Such office shall thereupon become such Lender’s Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater amount under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.16 as a result of a transfer of any such Loans to a different office of such Lender than it would be entitled to immediately prior thereto unless such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred.

11.7 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge, assignment or grant of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (k) 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more 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 subsection (b), participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender 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 $5,000,000 (or such amount plus a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) unless 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); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Loan Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has a reasonable basis for rejecting a proposed Lender that is a Public Lender as a result of the potential difficulties that could arise in the connection with such Public Lender’s participation in this Agreement, but that this provision shall not prohibit the Borrower’s approval of such a Public Lender or the assignment of rights and obligations hereunder to a Public Lender under circumstances where the Borrower’s consent is not otherwise required) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (3) such assignment is entered into in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain commitment letter among Bank of America, BAS and Borrower;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Loan Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee

in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender 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 Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13, 2.14, 11.5 and 11.12 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note (i) to the assignee Lender and (ii) to the assignor Lender if such assignment is less than such assignor Lender’s entire commitment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender 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 Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof 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 treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower and the Issuing Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other party hereto, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations and subparticipations in any Letter of Credit Exposure and/or Swing Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.10 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.3(d) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.13 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign corporation (as referred to in Section 2.11(b)) if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant, for the benefit of the Borrower, complies with Section 2.11(b) as though it were a Lender.

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

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Loan Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender hereunder subject to the acceptance of such appointed Lender in writing, provided, however, in the event that no Lender shall agree to accept such appointment, then the Person serving as Administrative Agent following such assignment by Bank of America shall serve as the Issuing Lender and/or Swing Lender; provided further, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint, or Administrative Agent to accept, any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all Letters of Credit Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations or subparticipations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Sections 2.5(g) and 2.5(h)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Loan Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Loan Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Sections 2.1(A)(d) and 2.1(A)(e).

(i) Resignation by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Lender acting as Administrative Agent or any successor Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall at any time hold a Commitment of less than $10,000,000.00, then such Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Lenders, and the Required Lenders shall have the right, to be exercised within fifteen (15) days of delivery of such notice by such Administrative Agent, to elect to remove such Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent and replace such Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, subject to the terms of Section 10.8 (including, without limitation, the consultation with, and approval from, the Borrower, to the extent required under Section 10.8.

(j) Resignation by other Agents. In the event that a Lender that is also a Lead Arranger or Book Manager assigns all of its Commitment, contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such assignment, such Lender shall no longer serve in such capacity as Lead Arranger or Book Manager, as applicable.

(k) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by such Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to

provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, such Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.11 or 2.13), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) a Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the applicable Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt 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 proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the applicable Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

11.8 [Intentionally Omitted].

11.9 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article V, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. A telecopied counterpart of any Loan Document or to any document evidencing, and of any an amendment, modification, consent or waiver to or of any Loan Document shall be deemed to be an originally executed counterpart. A set of the copies of the Loan Documents signed by all the parties thereto shall be deposited with each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any party to a Loan Document may rely upon the signatures of any other party thereto which are transmitted by telecopier or other electronic means to the same extent as if originally signed.

11.10 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender, including Swing Loan Lender (a “Benefited Lender”), shall at any time receive any payment of all or any part of its Loans or participation or subparticipation in payments made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(h) or (i), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or participation or subparticipation in payments made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from each of the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans and participation and subparticipation in payments made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loans, and shall provide each of such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and

benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or participations or subparticipations in payments by the Issuing Lender pursuant to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off, to the extent not prohibited by law) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the obligations owing in connection with the Loan Documents, or at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (b), each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower, at, or at any time after, the happening of any of the above-mentioned events. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.11 Lenders’ Representations.

Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that, in acquiring its Note, it is acquiring the same for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to selling the same in connection with any distribution thereof, provided that the disposition of each Lender’s own Property shall at all times be and remain within its control.

11.12 Indemnity.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Credit Party and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, controlling persons and attorneys (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, reasonable cost, liability, damage or reasonable expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel of such Indemnified Person, including all local counsel hired by any such counsel) incurred by such Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing for, defending against, or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of, any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation under any federal securities or tax laws or any other statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise, which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon: (a) any untrue statement of any material fact by the Borrower in any document or schedule executed or filed with any Governmental Authority by or on behalf of the Borrower; (b) any omission to state any material fact required to be stated in such document or schedule, or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading; or (c) any acts, practices or omissions of the Borrower or its agents relating to the use of the proceeds of any or all borrowings made by the Borrower which are alleged to be in violation of Section 2.15, or in violation of any federal securities or tax laws or of any other statute, regulation or other law of any jurisdiction applicable thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto. The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other obligations, liabilities or other indemnifications of the Borrower to each Indemnified Person under the Loan Documents or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents, the expiration of the Commitments and the payment of all indebtedness of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section to an Indemnified Person with respect to any of the foregoing to the extent found in a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or arising solely from claims between one such Indemnified Person and another such Indemnified Person.

11.13 Governing Law.

The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

11.14 Headings Descriptive.

Section headings have been inserted in the Loan Documents for convenience only and shall not be construed to be a part thereof.

11.15 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan 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 Loan 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.

11.16 Confidential Information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Loan Lender and the Issuing Lender 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 must agree (or, by acceptance of such materials, be deemed to have agreed) 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 that is not a Public Lender; (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 assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its right or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; (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 an agreement executed pursuant to this Section) or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. In addition, the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market date collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Loan Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 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.

11.17 Consent to Jurisdiction.

The Borrower and each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents. The Borrower and each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted or not prohibited by law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties intend that Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply to this Section 11.17.

11.18 Service of Process.

The Borrower hereby agrees that process may be served against it in any suit, action or proceeding referred to in Section 11.17 by sending the same by first class mail, return receipt requested or by overnight courier service, to the address of the Borrower specified pursuant to Section 11.2 or in the applicable Loan Document executed by the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees that any such service (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action, or proceeding, and (ii) shall to the fullest extent enforceable by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.

11.19 No Limitation on Service or Suit.

Nothing in the Loan Documents or any modification, waiver, consent or amendment thereto shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which the Borrower may be served.

11.20 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN. FURTHER, THE BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, OR COUNSEL TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, INTER ALIA, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION.

11.21 Termination.

After the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, without any extension thereof, and the payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including without limitation, all principal, interest, Facility Fees and other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes), the obligations of the Borrower hereunder (other than those which are stated herein to survive any termination of this Agreement) shall terminate, except that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any claim, action or proceeding made or brought under any other provision of the Loan Documents prior to such termination or payment. At the request of the Borrower, each Lender whose obligations under the Notes have been fully paid shall promptly return to the Borrower its Note marked “paid” or shall deliver other evidence that such Lender has received full payment of such obligations or, in the case of any Lender that is not able to return such Note, such Lender shall deliver a lost note affidavit and confirmation of payment with respect to such Note in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

11.22 Replacement Notes.

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery by the relevant Lender of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.

11.23 USA Patriot Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) 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 Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

11.24 Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders (as determined prior to any removal of such Lender in connection with this Section 11.24), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and other requirements contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.7), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be, but is not required to be, another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.7;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) from and after the effective date of such assignment the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.13, 2.14, 11.5 and 11.12 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.25 No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationships.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding (to the extent of Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s interest in such Affiliates), that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and BAS, on the other hand, and each of the Borrower and each Guarantor is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and BAS each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor BAS has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or BAS has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor BAS has any obligation to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and BAS and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor BAS has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and BAS have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and BAS with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
