request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided further that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the calculation of liabilities shall not include any fair value adjustments to the carrying value of liabilities to record such liabilities at fair value pursuant to electing the fair value option election under FASB ASC 825-10-25 (formerly known as FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) or other FASB standards allowing entities to elect fair value option for financial liabilities. Accordingly, the amount of liabilities shall be the historical cost basis, which generally is the contractual amount owed adjusted for amortization or accretion of any premium or discount.

ARTICLE II CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make the Loan to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 9:00 a.m. on the Effective Date. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form, not later than 12:00 noon on the Effective Date, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Loan once repaid. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to advance its Commitment or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender advance its Commitment or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to advance its Commitment or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 2.2Rates and Payment of Interest on Loan.

(a)Interest Payments. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

- 9 -

(b)Post-Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified inSections 2.2(e) below and the payment dates specified inSection 2.2(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Post-Default Rate. All other amounts due the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand at the Post-Default Rate.

(c)Late Fee. The Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if the Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), unless waived by the Administrative Agent, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) and paid by the Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent the Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of the Administrative Agent.

(d)Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in thisSection 2.2, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(e)Effective Rate. The “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, be one or more of the following:

(i) Provided no Default exists under this Agreement:

(A) for those portions of the principal balance of the Notes which are not Fixed Rate Portions, the Effective Rate shall be the Base Rate.

(B) for those portions of the principal balance of the Notes which are Fixed Rate Portions, the Effective Rate for the Fixed Rate Period thereof shall be the Fixed Rate selected by the Borrower and set in accordance with the provisions hereof,provided,however, if any of the transactions necessary for the calculation of interest at any Fixed Rate requested or selected by the Borrower should be or become prohibited or unavailable to the Administrative Agent, or, if in the Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, it is not possible or practical for the Administrative Agent to set a Fixed Rate for a Fixed Rate Portion and Fixed Rate Period as requested or selected by the Borrower, the Effective Rate for such Fixed Rate Portion shall remain at or revert to the Base Rate.

(ii) During such time as an Event of Default exists under this Agreement; or from and after the date on which all sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by

- 10 -

acceleration or otherwise; or from and after the Maturity Date, then at the option of the Requisite Lenders in each case, the interest rate applicable to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be the Post-Default Rate.

(f)Selection of Fixed Rate. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement, the Borrower, at its option and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, may request a Fixed Rate as the Effective Rate for calculating interest on the portion of the unpaid principal balance and for the period selected in accordance with and subject to the following procedures and conditions,provided,however, that the Borrower may not have in effect at any one time more than five (5) Fixed Rates.

Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, Minneapolis Loan Center, 608 2^nd Avenue South, 11^th Floor, MAC N9303-10, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1916, Attention: Julie Ness, or such other addresses as the Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or facsimile Fixed Rate Notice no later than 9:00 A.M. (California time), and not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Fixed Rate Period for each Fixed Rate Portion. Any Fixed Rate Notice delivered pursuant to the foregoing is irrevocable.

The Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the telephonic request and acceptance of Joseph D. Russell, Jr., Edward A. Stokx, Trenton Groves, Dan Ashworth or Jenny Wong, as the Borrower’s duly authorized agents, or such additional authorized agents as the Borrower shall designate in writing to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower’s telephonic notices, requests and acceptances shall be directed to such officers of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate.

(i) The Borrower may elect (A) to convert Base Rate advances to a Fixed Rate Portion, or (B) to convert a matured Fixed Rate Portion into a new Fixed Rate Portion,provided,however, that the aggregate amount of the advance being converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Portion shall comply with the definition thereof as to Dollar amount. The conversion of a matured Fixed Rate Portion back to a Base Rate or to a new Fixed Rate Portion shall occur on the last Business Day of the Fixed Rate Period relating to such Fixed Rate Portion. Each Fixed Rate Notice shall specify (A) the amount of the Fixed Rate Portion, (B) the Fixed Rate Period, and (C) the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

(ii) Upon receipt of a Fixed Rate Notice in the proper form requesting a Fixed Rate Portion advance under subsections (i) and (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate applicable to the Fixed Rate Period for such Fixed Rate Portion two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Fixed Rate Period. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Fixed Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and each Lender (by facsimile) an acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice;provided,however, that failure to provide such acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice to the Borrower or any Lender shall not affect the validity of such rate.

(iii) If the Borrower does not make a timely election to convert all or a portion of a matured Fixed Rate Portion into a new Fixed Rate Portion in accordance with thisSection 2.2(f), such Fixed Rate Portion shall be automatically converted back to a Base Rate upon the expiration of the Fixed Rate Period applicable to such Fixed Rate Portion.

(iv) Upon the Borrower’s acceptance of a Fixed Rate, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an Administration Fee for each selected Fixed Rate Portion.

(g)Fixed Rate Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the

- 11 -

extent they are not internalized by calculation of a Fixed Rate. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower notice of any Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but the Borrower shall be liable for any Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given

(h)Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. The Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a Fixed Rate Portion during a Fixed Rate Period shall result in the Lenders’ incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a Fixed Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), the Borrower will pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to the Lenders) an amount (“Fixed Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Fixed Rate Portion for the remainder of the Fixed Rate Period at the Fixed Rate set on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Fixed Rate Portion for the same period if the Fixed Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Applicable LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, using as a discount rate the LIBOR Market Index Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.

By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement:

Borrower Initials:ES

(i)Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) the Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating a Fixed Rate or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; (b) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining a Fixed Rate and Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating a Fixed Rate and a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment, Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

Section 2.3Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.4Automatic Debit. In order to assure timely payment to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, of accrued interest, principal, fees and late charges due and owing under the Loan, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to directly debit the Borrower Account for payment when due of all such amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the

- 12 -

Borrower is the legal owner of the Borrower Account. Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct debit shall be given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent not less frequently than monthly. In the event any direct debit hereunder is returned for insufficient funds, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, upon demand, in immediately available funds, all amounts and expenses due and owing, including without limitation any late fees incurred, to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.5Repayment of Loan. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Loan on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.6Prepayments.

(a)Optional. Subject toSection 2.2(h), the Borrower may prepay the Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of the Loan. Each voluntary prepayment of the Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(b)Mandatory.

(i) If at any time during the term of the Loan, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Outstanding Amount, then the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any such excess, deliver to the Administrative Agent for prompt distribution to each Lender a written plan acceptable to all of the Lenders to eliminate such excess. If such excess is not eliminated within fifteen (15) days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, then the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable in full.

(ii) If the Borrower repays amounts due under the Loan in accordance with the preceding subsection (b)(i), then such amounts shall be applied to pay principal outstanding on the Loan pro rata, in accordance withSection 3.3. Any such repayments may not be reborrowed and shall be subject to the terms ofSection 2.2(h), as applicable.

Section 2.7Notes.

(a)Notes. The Loan shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by the Notes.

(b)Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.8Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a)Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative

- 13 -

Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.

(b)Funds Transfer. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

(c)Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

ARTICLE III PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject toSection 9.4, the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

- 14 -

Section 3.2Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.3Pro Rata Treatment. (a) The Loan shall be made by the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of each Lender’s respective Commitment; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

Section 3.4Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance withSection 3.3 orSection 9.4, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loan made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements ofSection 3.3 orSection 9.4, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loan or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of the Loan in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.5Several Obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.6Fees.

(a)Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

- 15 -

Section 3.7Computations. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on the Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.8Usury. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loan or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described inSection 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.9Statements of Account. The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of the Loan, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.10Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

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

(b)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant toArticle IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant toSection 3.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; andfifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

- 16 -

(c)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loan of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.11Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a)Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, and (v) any taxes imposed by Sections 1471 through Section 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (including any official interpretations thereof, collectively “FATCA”) on any “withholdable payment” payable to such recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after December 31, 2012 (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b)Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

- 17 -

(c)Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes or the Administrative Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, if such Lender, such Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(d)USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

ARTICLE IV INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE V YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitment or its making or maintaining loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.

- 18 -

(b)Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its calculation of Effective Rates hereunder with reference to LIBOR or its obligation to calculate Effective Rates hereunder with reference to LIBOR, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a result of the Effective Rates under this Agreement being calculated with reference to LIBOR or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of amounts outstanding hereunder which are accruing interest at an Effective Rate calculated with reference to LIBOR or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any loans made upon which interest is calculated with reference to LIBOR by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which Effective Rates calculated with reference to LIBOR are determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c)Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR-Based Rates. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which Effective Rates are calculated with reference to LIBOR as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes interest rates calculated with reference to LIBOR or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue advances on which interest is calculated with reference to LIBOR, or to convert an advance on which the interest rate is calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate into an advance on which the Effective Rate is calculated with reference to LIBOR to determine an Effective Rate with reference to LIBOR hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions ofSection 5.3 shall apply).

(d)Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

- 19 -

Section 5.2Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to calculate Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to calculate Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again calculate Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR (in which case the provisions ofSection 5.4 shall be applicable).

Section 5.3Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to calculate Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR shall be suspended pursuant toSection 5.1(c), orSection 5.2, then all interest due to such Lender shall be calculated with reference to the Base Rate as of the last day(s) of the then current Fixed Rate Period for LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist, all interest due to such Lender shall be calculated with reference to the Base Rate.

If a Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified inSection 5.1(c) or5.2 that gave rise to the conversion from calculation of Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR to calculation of Effective Rates with reference to the Base Rate no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Effective Rates on amounts outstanding to other Lenders are being calculated with reference to LIBOR, then any amounts owed to the previously affected Lender on which the Effective Rate is being calculated with reference to the Base Rate shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Fixed Rate Period(s), to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all outstanding amounts on account of which Effective Rates are being calculated with reference to LIBOR are held by the Lenders pro rata (as to principal amounts and Fixed Rate Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 5.4Affected Lenders. If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant toSection 3.11 or5.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to calculated Effective Rates with reference to LIBOR shall be suspended pursuant toSection 5.1 or5.2 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions ofSection 11.6(b) for a purchase price equal to (y) the aggregate principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant toSections 3.11,5.1 or2.2(h)) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 5.5Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office upon the occurrence of any of the matters or circumstances described inSections 3.11,5.1 or5.2 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.

Section 9.6Performance by Administrative Agent. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty

- 26 -

or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 9.7Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letter and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives Providers in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

ARTICLE X THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 10.1Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article V of the Revolving Credit Agreement that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have

- 27 -

directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 10.2Wells Fargo as Lender. Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 10.3Approvals of Lenders. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 10.4Notice of Events of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 10.5Administrative Agent’s Reliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by

- 28 -

it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 10.6Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment;provided,however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

- 29 -

Section 10.7Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

Section 10.8Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, 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 ofSections 2.2(h),11.2 and11.10 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided inSection 11.11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, 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 the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment; 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 and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from

- 35 -

its Obligations under the Guaranty. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 3.11 and5.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 11.4. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 3.4. as though it were a Lender.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSections 3.11 and5.1 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 Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits ofSection 3.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply withSection 3.11(c) as though it were a Lender.

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

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

Subject to the immediately following subsection (c), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Lenders may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).

(b)Certain Requisite Lender Consents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by the Requisite Lenders (which must include the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), do any of the following:

No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

- 37 -

Section 11.8Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 11.9Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, or in response to an inquiry or request from a Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
