Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower, on the Funding Date, Loans in the amount of its Commitment comprising the one or more Borrowings to be funded by the Lenders pursuant to the Borrowing Request submitted by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.03, provided that (i) the total

Each Borrowing shall be a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.10 through 2.15 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Eurodollar Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of nine Borrowings outstanding, provided that, for purposes of this clause, all outstanding ABR Borrowings shall count as one Borrowing.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect to such Borrowing would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03 Request for Borrowings. To request one or more Borrowings for funding on the Funding Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the Funding Date, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the Funding Date. 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 in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and shall be the Funding Date;

(iii) whether such requested Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

SECTION 2.04 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make the Loans to be made by it hereunder on the Funding Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such

purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated (by location and account number) by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules, customs and practices in respect of interbank compensation in the applicable interbank market (including without limitation, any overdraft or similar charges, costs and expenses that may be applicable), or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loans included in such Borrowings.

SECTION 2.05 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that the Borrowing Request would have been required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing that does not comply with Section 2.02.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests continuation of, or conversion to, a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued for another Interest Period beyond its then current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, in each case bearing interest at the applicable rates provided in Section 2.09.

provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans and the accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the amounts owing by 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) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type 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 sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any 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 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that all Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, provided that the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000, and shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.09 and by any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12.

(b) If at any time, the sum of the aggregate Loan Exposures of all Lenders exceeds the total Commitments, the Borrower shall, promptly after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, repay Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate any such excess.

(c) If the Target Acquisition shall not be consummated consistently in all material respects with the Acquisition Agreement (except for changes in the terms of such Acquisition Agreement

as would not be adverse, taken as a whole, in any material respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the Lenders), including the receipt of all required consents, licenses and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and the expiration of any required waiting periods, by no later than the date (the “Trigger Date”) which is thirty (30) days after the Funding Date, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Trigger Date, repay the outstanding Obligations in full.

leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as an ABR Borrowing. If the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amounts shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.12 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.07(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in U.S. Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.13 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, payments made by any Guarantors) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent and each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes related to the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to provide any documents or forms which it cannot deliver under applicable law.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) For any period during which a Foreign Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to subsection (e) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Foreign Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (e) above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to recover such Taxes.

SECTION 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,

fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 9.03, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or, if the Borrower has given to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, irrevocable written notice that such payment is being made on such day, 4:30 p.m., New York City time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. The Borrower may designate the Loans to be repaid by any payment or prepayment made hereunder; provided, however, in the event that the Borrower fails to make any such designation, such payment or prepayment shall first be applied to any ABR Loans and thereafter to Eurodollar Loans in such a manner as to minimize any costs or expenses due under Section 2.12 as a result of such payment or prepayment, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders, as applicable, to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by such Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) 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, 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 forthwith

on demand the 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.14(c) or 9.03(c), or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, 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 2.13, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment made pursuant to any such request by the Borrower.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, 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 2.13, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender shall determine that any law, regulation or treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, 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 requirements and restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have given 10 days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall approve in its discretion) prior written notice of such proposed assignment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) 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, 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) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and 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.

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Credit Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action and, if required, the action by the holders of such Credit Party’s Equity Interests. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any of the Credit Parties or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any of the Credit Parties or its assets, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any of the Credit Parties, other than as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the Fiscal Year ended May 31, 2007, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter and the portion of the Fiscal Year ended February 29, 2008, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b) Since May 31, 2007, there have been no events, acts, conditions or occurrences, singly or in the aggregate, that have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and Personal property sufficient for the conduct of its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes, in each case free and clear of all Liens except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business, free and clear of all Liens except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, or (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Except where such compliance is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

The Borrowing Request shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders shall have no obligations to make Loans to the Borrower hereunder unless the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 and this Section 4.02 have been satisfied (or waived in accordance

Until all principal of and interest on all Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

SECTION 5.01 Financial Statements and Other Information. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

(a) within 100 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Borrower, its audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous Fiscal Year, all reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing (without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied;

(b) within 50 days after the end of each of the first three Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year of the Borrower, its consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations and cash flows as of the end of and for such Fiscal Quarter and the then elapsed portion of the Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous Fiscal Year, all certified by one of its Financial Officers as presenting fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes;

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements for delivery of annual and quarterly financial statements and reports and other filings in Section 5.01(a), (b) and (d) above, and notices required to be given pursuant to Section 5.02, such delivery and notice requirements shall be deemed to have been satisfied at such time as the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as to the filing of such financial statements, reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Borrower’s reports on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or reports of events or occurrences on Form 8-K, or other applicable filings, as the case may be, so long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have electronic access to such filings at such time.

SECTION 5.02 Notices of Material Events. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt (and in any event within five Business Days) written notice of the following:

(b) the filing or commencement of any actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrators or Governmental Authorities against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) if and when the Borrower or any member of the ERISA Affiliate (i) gives or is required to give notice to the PBGC of any Reportable Event with respect to any Plan which might reasonably be expected to constitute grounds for a termination of such Plan under Title IV of ERISA, or knows that the plan administrator of any Plan has given or is required to give notice of any such Reportable Event, a copy of the notice of such Reportable Event given or required to be given to the PBGC, (ii) receives notice of complete or partial withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA, a copy of such notice, or (iii) receives notice from the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA of an intent to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan, a copy of such notice, in each case where such Reportable Event, withdrawal liability, termination or appointment could reasonably be expected to have or cause a Material Adverse Effect; and

(d) the cancellation or termination of any material agreement or the receipt or sending of written notice of default or intended termination or cancellation of any material agreement, in any case that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.03 Maintenance of Existence. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its existence as a corporation in the jurisdiction of its organization. The Borrower shall cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to maintain its legal existence, provided, that (i) the Borrower may dissolve Subsidiaries from time to time if (x) the Borrower has determined that such dissolution is desirable, and (y) such dissolution could not reasonably be expected to have or cause a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary may eliminate or discontinue a business line pursuant to Section 6.03(c).

SECTION 5.04 Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations, including Tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and (b) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.05 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) maintain and keep in full force and effect all rights in respect of Intellectual Property used in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or through adequate self-insurance programs, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations or consistent with past practices of the Borrower and such Subsidiaries.

The Borrower will (i) keep, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities; and (ii) permit, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to permit, representatives of any Lender, after written notice to an officer of the Borrower or Subsidiary, at such Lender’s expense during any period in which a Default or Event of Default is not in existence and at the Borrower’s expense during any period in which a Default or Event of Default is in existence, to visit (which date of visit shall be two (2) Business Days after the date such request is made or any earlier date as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and such Lender) and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants. The Borrower agrees to cooperate and assist in such visits and inspections, in each case at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be desired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which no Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may engage in (i) more than two inspections per Fiscal Year or (ii) discussions with the Borrower’s independent public accountants, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise consented to same.

SECTION 5.07 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its ERISA Affiliates to, comply with applicable laws (including but not limited to ERISA), regulations, executive orders, and similar requirements of governmental authorities (including but not limited to PBGC), except where the necessity of such compliance is being contested in good faith through appropriate proceedings or except where the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to finance a portion of the Target Acquisition and related transaction fees, costs and expenses, with any balance to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case to the extent not otherwise prohibited herein.

SECTION 5.09 Additional Guarantors. Not later than 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) after the date required for delivery of any quarterly or annual financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01, if any Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor as of the period end date of such financial statements would qualify as of such period end date as a Significant Subsidiary, the Borrower shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Subsidiary Guaranty, accompanied by (i) all other Loan Documents related thereto, (ii) certified copies of the certificates or articles of incorporation, organization or formation, by-laws, limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements, and other applicable organizational documents, appropriate authorizing resolutions of the board of directors, board of managers, or comparable body, and opinions of counsel for such Domestic Subsidiary comparable to those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01, and (iii) such other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Borrower may request that any Guarantor cease to be a Guarantor and be released and discharged from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if (i) the Equity Interests of such Guarantor are being sold in a transaction expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) such Guarantor has ceased to qualify as a Significant Subsidiary as indicated by the most recent quarterly or annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01.

SECTION 5.10 Target Acquisition. When and if the Target Acquisition is consummated, the Target Acquisition will be consummated consistently in all material respects with the Acquisition Agreement (except for changes in such Acquisition Agreement as would not be, taken as a whole, adverse in any material respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the Lenders), including the receipt of all required consents, licenses, and approval of all Governmental Authorities and the expiration of any required waiting periods.

Until all principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

(h) Indebtedness resulting from Surety Indemnification Obligations of such Subsidiary; and

(i) Other unsecured Indebtedness of any Subsidiaries not described in clauses (a) through (h) above in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of Net Worth as at the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been made available, or are required to have been made available, to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 6.02 Liens. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by it, or assign or sell any income or revenues (including accounts receivable) or rights in respect of any thereof, except:

(a) (i) Liens existing on the date of this Agreement and described on Schedule 6.02 securing Indebtedness outstanding on the date of this Agreement;

(ii) Liens existing on any asset of any Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary, or at the time such Person was merged into or consolidated with the Borrower or a Subsidiary, which Lien was not created in contemplation of such event and, if such Lien secures Indebtedness of a Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 6.01; and

(iii) Liens on any asset securing Indebtedness (including, without limitation, a Capital Lease Obligation) incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring or constructing such asset, provided that such Lien (x) attaches to such asset (and no other asset) concurrently with or within 18 months after the acquisition or completion of construction thereof, and (y) secures solely such Indebtedness incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring or constructing such asset;

SECTION 6.03 Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Material Subsidiaries to, consolidate or merge with or into, or effect any Asset Sale to, any other Person, or discontinue or eliminate any Material Subsidiary or business segment, provided that:

(a) the Borrower may merge with another Person if (i) the Borrower is the corporation surviving such merger and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such merger, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) Subsidiaries (i) may merge with, and sell assets to, one another and the Borrower, provided that if one of the Persons involved in such merger or sale is a Credit Party, the surviving Person or transferee in any such transaction is a Credit Party, and (ii) may merge with another Person if (x) such Subsidiary is the Person surviving such merger, and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may eliminate or discontinue business lines and segments from time to time if such elimination or discontinuance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(d) so long as no Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may effect any Asset Sale so long as the assets to be sold pursuant to all such Asset Sales during any Fiscal Year have not contributed, in the aggregate, more than fifteen percent (15%) of the EBITDA of the Borrower for the then-most recently completed period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements are available (with the determination of such contribution to EBITDA to be made by the Borrower in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that in determining the Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing limitation on Asset Sales in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower may deduct from the EBITDA attributable to the assets sold in such Asset Sales, an amount equal to the EBITDA attributable to Permitted Acquisitions made or proposed to be made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within 180 days after consummation of the respective Asset Sale and with the proceeds of such Asset Sale (with the determination of the EBITDA attributable to such Permitted Acquisition to be made by the Borrower in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); and provided, further; that if and to the extent, absent such deduction with respect to such proposed Permitted Acquisitions, a breach of this Section 6.03(e) would occur, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent, not later than the

expiration of such 180-day period, a report in reasonable detail as to such proposed Permitted Acquisitions, if any, and to the extent all or any portion of the proposed Permitted Acquisitions (or any other Permitted Acquisitions) are not so made within such 180 day period, then only the EBITDA attributable to Permitted Acquisitions made shall be deducted for purposes of determining whether the Borrower is in compliance with the 15% limitation set forth above for the Fiscal Year during which such Asset Sales occurred;

(e) Subsidiaries which are formed for the sole purpose of (1) merging into Persons that will become Subsidiaries or (2) acquiring the assets or Equity Interests of Persons and thereafter becoming Subsidiaries, may merge with such Persons or consolidate those Persons’ assets with the assets of those Subsidiaries so long as such acquisitions and related transactions are otherwise permitted by this Agreement; and

(f) any Asset Sale made as a result of the exercise of the Joint Venture Call Right with respect to the assets or Equity Interests of the Subsidiary that are subject to such Joint Venture Call Right; provided, however, that if after giving effect to such Asset Sale, the Borrower’s Leverage Ratio (computed on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recently ended period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters for which financial statements are available) would exceed 2.00 to 1.00, then the Borrower shall, not later than ten (10) Business Days after such Asset Sale is consummated, provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and, unless such prepayment is waived in writing by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay or cause to be prepaid an amount of its outstanding Indebtedness in the form of term loans used to finance the purchase of the assets subject to such Asset Sale (with payment to be applied pro rata across maturities) or, if no such term loans are then outstanding, Indebtedness under this Agreement or any other Indebtedness (but without any required reduction in the commitments from the lenders that are parties to any revolving credit facilities) equal to the lesser of (x) the amount necessary to be prepaid to reduce such Leverage Ratio to 2.00 to 1.00, (y) the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries from such Asset Sale (after giving effect to any costs, fees and expenses associated therewith and any Indebtedness repaid in connection therewith), and (z) the total amount of Indebtedness then outstanding as term loans used to finance the purchase of the assets subject to such Asset Sale and advances under this Agreement

SECTION 6.08 Restrictive Agreements. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective, any consensual encumbrance or restriction (excluding any such encumbrance or restriction under this Agreement) on the ability of any such Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on any of its Equity Interests, (ii) pay any amounts owing to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) grant any Liens on any of its assets to secure any of the Obligations under this Agreement, except (A) any such encumbrance or restriction with respect to the granting of Liens imposed by a lessor under any capital lease or by a lender extending purchase money financing in respect of any asset or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, so long as such encumbrances or restrictions does not so encumber or restrict any other assets or property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (B) any such encumbrance or restriction set forth in Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness, (C) any such existing encumbrances or restrictions in any Indebtedness of a Subsidiary permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 6.01, or Indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the merger or consolidation of another Person into or with the Borrower, which Indebtedness existed at the time of such merger or consolidation and was not created or incurred in contemplation of such event, (D) those encumbrances or restrictions more particularly described in Schedule 6.07 and (E) any such encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement between the Borrower or its Subsidiary with the Person (other than any Affiliate of the Borrower) owning the minority of the outstanding Equity Interests in a non-wholly owned Subsidiary of the Borrower requiring the consent of such Person prior to taking the actions described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above with respect to such non-wholly owned Subsidiary.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not 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 Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as 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 with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Credit Party), 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.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

(i) if to the Borrower, to it at 10 Glenlake Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30328, Attention of Joe Hyde, Chief Financial Officer, and Lisa Joublanc, Treasurer (Telecopy No. (770) 829-8517),

(ii) if to the Administrative Agent, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Loan and Agency Services Group, 10 South Dearborn Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention Cecily Roland (Telecopy No. (312) 385-7098); and

(iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, or reduce the rate of any

interest or fees payable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly through an amendment to the Pricing Schedule or to the definition of the term “Leverage Ratio” to the extent (but only to the extent) such amendment would effect a reduction in such rate of interest or fees pursuant to the Pricing Schedule), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or postpone the “Trigger Date” under Section 2.07(c), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without, in each case, the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) release, discharge or otherwise limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty except (x) in connection with a merger, consolidation or dissolution of such Guarantor or a sale of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor, in any case in a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement, (y) pursuant to the final sentence of Section 5.09, or (z) with the written consent of each Lender; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or similar negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (“Claims and Expenses”), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnity Proceeding”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; and provided further, that should the Borrower pay any amounts to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders due to this Section, and it shall be determined that the harm being indemnified against resulted from the Administrative

Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, then such party receiving such payment shall rebate such payment to the Borrower, together with interest thereon accruing at the Federal Funds Rate from the date such payment was made until the date such rebate is received by the Borrower (calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365 day year). If the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant hereto and has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnitee for any amount paid by such Indemnitee with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) If a claim is to be made by an Indemnitee under this Section, the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Borrower promptly after the Indemnitee receives actual notice of any Claims and Expenses incurred or instituted for which the indemnification is sought; provided, that, the failure to give such prompt notice shall not decrease the Claims and Expenses payable by the Borrower, except to the extent that such failure has caused the Borrower to forfeit any substantive right of a material nature. If requested by the Borrower in writing, and so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Borrower has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnitee that the Borrower shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Indemnity Proceeding (subject to the exclusion of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee), the Borrower may, at its election, conduct the defense of any such Indemnified Proceeding to the extent such contest may be conducted in good faith on legally supported grounds. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any Indemnitee entitled to the benefit of indemnity under this Section, written notice thereof shall be given to the Borrower as soon as practicable (and in any event within 15 days after the service of the citation or summons). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure so to notify the Borrower as provided in this Section will not relieve the Borrower from liability hereunder (except to the extent such failure has caused the Borrower to forfeit any substantive right of a material nature). After such notice, the Borrower shall be entitled, if they so elect, to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage counsel of their own choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Borrower’s cost, risk and expense; provided however, that the Borrower and its counsel shall proceed with diligence and in good faith with respect thereto. If (i) the engagement of such counsel by the Borrower would present a conflict of interest which would prevent such counsel from effectively defending such action on behalf of the Indemnitee, (ii) the defendants in, or targets of, any such lawsuit or action include both the Indemnitee and Borrower, and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower, (iii) the Borrower fails to assume the defense of the lawsuit or action or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, in either case in a timely manner, or (iv) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then such Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Borrower will pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however that each Indemnitee shall, in connection with any matter covered by this Section which also involves other Indemnified Parties, use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts by counsel for all indemnities. Should the Borrower be entitled to conduct the defense of any Indemnity Proceeding pursuant to the terms of this Section, the Indemnitee shall cooperate (with all Claims and Expenses associated therewith to be paid by the Borrower) in all reasonable respects with the

Borrower and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however that the Indemnitee may, at its own cost (except as set forth in, and in accordance with, the foregoing sentence), participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(f) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that in the event that any Indemnity Proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against it or any other party entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof in writing and agree, to the extent appropriate, to consult with the Borrower with a view to minimizing the cost to the Borrower of its obligations under this Section; provided that the failure to so notify the Borrower will not relieve the Borrower from liability hereunder except to the extent such failure has caused the Borrower to forfeit any substantive right of a material nature.

(g) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire Loan Exposure of a Lender, the amount 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) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) 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;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its related parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 principal amount of the Loans 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.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.14(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 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 law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) 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 Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.13(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) 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 without

limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the other Loan Documents, and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent 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 Section 4.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 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.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Georgia.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and any appellate courts from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. In any action or proceeding in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, each party agrees to submit any such action or proceeding to the Business Case Division of the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia (the “Georgia Business Court”); provided, however, that if the dispute or claim is not accepted for adjudication by the Georgia Business Court, venue and jurisdiction shall remain vested in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, but any party may seek removal of such action or proceeding (where permitted by applicable federal law) to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Georgia State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court, and further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, governmental agency or self-regulatory

authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) or required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, shall disclose only the information specified in such request and, to the extent it may lawfully do so, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower in advance of such disclosure (but shall incur no liability to the Borrower or any other Person for any delay or failure in providing any such notice), (c) to any other party to this Agreement, (d) as may be determined in good faith to be necessary 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, (e) 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 rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, 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 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.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ITS SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans

or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of 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 to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15 No Margin Stock Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent, each of the other Lenders and the Borrower that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative pledge or otherwise), relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.16 Canadian Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the existing Canadian Receivables Credit Facility remains in effect, (i) the Canadian Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Effective Date, (ii) all references therein to the “Syndicated Loan Agreement” and the “Syndicated Loan Lenders” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the Lenders, respectively, and (iii) each of them shall be subject to, and shall be bound by and have the benefits of, the provisions of the Canadian Intercreditor Agreement from and after the Effective Date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
