On June 27, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), in connection with the financing by Dynegy Inc. (the “Company”) of its previously announced acquisition of ownership interests in certain North American power generation assets from International Power, S.A., an indirect subsidiary of ENGIE S.A. (the “GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition”):

(i)                                     Dynegy Finance IV, Inc. (“Finance IV”), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary the Company, entered into (a) a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Finance IV Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto, providing for a $2.0 billion senior secured term loan facility (the “Finance IV Term Loan”), and (b) an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as escrow agent and securities intermediary (in such capacities, the “Escrow Agent”), and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Finance IV Credit Agreement;

(ii)                                  Finance IV borrowed the full amount of the Finance IV Term Loan and placed net proceeds thereof into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and the Company contributed to Finance IV (for contribution into the Escrow Account) an additional amount so that the aggregate funds in the Escrow Account would be sufficient to repay the Finance IV Term Loan plus any interest that may accrue thereon for a period of six months from the Closing Date;

(iii)                               the Company, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as incremental term lender, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and SunTrust Bank, as incremental revolving lenders, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment (the “Incremental Amendment”) to the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2013 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), providing that (a)  upon the release of funds from the Escrow Account upon the satisfaction of the Delta Acquisition Escrow Conditions (as defined in the Finance IV Credit Agreement) (such date, the “Escrow Release Date”), (1) the incremental term loans to be issued under the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the Incremental Amendment may be funded pursuant to an automatic conversion of the Finance IV Term Loan into a term loan of the Company which will be deemed issued as an incremental term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Conversion and Deemed Issuance”) and (2) the Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Commitments under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement will increase in an aggregate principal amount equal to $75.0 million (the “Incremental Revolver”) and (b) on the Closing Date, the lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement waive the Incremental Ratio Tests (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) with respect to the Incremental Term Loan and Incremental Revolver, as described below; and

(iv)                              the Company, the guarantors, the lenders and other parties thereto entered into a waiver to the Existing Credit Agreement, dated June 27, 2016 (the “Waiver”), providing a waiver from the lenders party thereto of the Incremental Ratio Tests (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and confirmation that notwithstanding the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or other related Credit Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), the Company may incur the Incremental Term Loan and the Incremental Revolver without regard to the satisfaction of the Incremental Ratio Tests and no default or event of default will occur as a result of any breach of the Incremental Ratio Tests.

On the Escrow Release Date, (i) it is intended that Finance IV will merge with and into the Company (with the Company as the surviving entity), (ii) the Company will use the amounts released from the Escrow Account to pay a portion of the purchase price of the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition and (iii) it is intended that the Conversion and Deemed Issuance will occur.  The Finance IV Credit Agreement provides that, upon the effectiveness of the Conversion and Deemed Issuance, the Finance IV Credit Agreement will (a) cease to be of force or effect and (b) be superseded by the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Incremental Amendment.  If the Delta Acquisition Escrow Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to February 24, 2017 (the “GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition Deadline”), or if the Escrow Agent is notified by Finance IV that the Delta Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) has been terminated or Finance IV has determined that the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition Deadline (such notice being referred to as a “Termination Notice”), the Escrow Agent will, within one business day, liquidate all escrowed property then held by it in the Escrow Account and release all amounts to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Finance IV Credit Agreement.

Finance IV Credit Agreement

Amounts available under the Finance IV Credit Agreement were available in a single drawing on the Closing Date and amounts borrowed that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. The Finance IV Term Loan will mature on June 27, 2023.  The Finance IV Term Loan bears interest at either (i) 4.00% per annum plus the LIBO Rate, subject to a floor of 1.00% with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or (ii) 3.00% per annum plus the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loan, and will not amortize. The entire principal amount of the Finance IV Term Loan shall be due and payable on the maturity date unless the Conversion and Deemed

2

Issuance has previously occurred. Any interest payments payable while funds remain in the Escrow Account will be paid from the Escrow Account.

Finance IV may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or vice versa. The Finance IV Credit Agreement contains limited events of default and affirmative covenants and one negative covenant, which restricts the activities of Finance IV to those primarily relating to the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition and financing therefor. The obligations of Finance IV under the Finance IV Credit Agreement will be secured by any amounts in the Escrow Account from time to time.

Existing Credit Agreement

Upon the effectiveness of the Conversion and Deemed Issuance, the Existing Credit Agreement will be comprised of (i) a $2.0 billion seven-year senior secured term loan B facility, (ii) an $800 million seven-year senior secured term loan B facility and (iii) three tranches of five-year senior secured revolving credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount totaling $1,500 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The Existing Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain specified exceptions.

Escrow Agreement

Until the Escrow Release Date, interest payments on the Finance IV Term Loan will be paid from the Escrow Account. The “Delta Acquisition Escrow Conditions” include, among others and subject to certain qualifications, the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions applicable to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans, the consummation of the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Delta Acquisition Agreement and the occurrence of the Delta Refinancing (as defined in the Finance IV Credit Agreement).

The Escrow Agreement requires that on each subsequent one month anniversary of the Closing Date, Finance IV will deposit (or cause to be deposited) additional funds to the Escrow Account, if any may be required, to increase the amounts deposited therein such that, after giving effect to any such deposit, the amount of funds in the Escrow Account equals the outstanding principal amount of Finance IV Term Loans plus Finance IV’s reasonable estimate of the interest which will accrue thereon from the Closing Date through the date one month after said latest deposit (less amounts actually applied to pay such interest) (or such shorter period as will end on the GSENA Thermal Assets Acquisition Deadline). However, as of the Closing Date, Finance IV has contributed aggregate funds in the Escrow Account, which would be sufficient to repay the Finance IV Term Loan plus any interest that may accrue thereon for a period of six months from the Closing Date.

The descriptions of the Finance IV Credit Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement, the Incremental Amendment and the Waiver contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the agreements included as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5.

The information included in Item 1.01 above with respect to the Finance IV Credit Agreement and the Incremental Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

(c)                                  Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Term Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Term Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

2.04.                     Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 2:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Lender with a Commitment will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on the Closing Date.  All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing to the Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of

17

Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on written demand from such Lender.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Term Loans hereunder.

2.05.                     Term Notes.  (a)  The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.12 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced if requested by any applicable Lender, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”).

(b)                                 Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Term Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Term Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower shall only be required to deliver Term Notes to Lenders promptly following request for the delivery of such Term Notes.  No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Term Note evidencing its Term Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Term Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents.  Any Lender which does not have a Term Note evidencing its outstanding Term Loans shall in any event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b).

2.06.                     Conversions.  The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Term Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Term Loan; provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Term Loans being converted unless the Borrower pays any amounts due under Section 2.11 and no such partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if any Event of Default exists pursuant to Section 11.04 on the date of conversion, (iii) if any Event of Default (other than as referred to in preceding clause

18

(ii)) is in existence on the date of the proposed conversion of a LIBOR Loan, (x) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have notified the Borrower that conversions will not be permitted during the existence of such Event of Default and (y) in the absence of the notification referred to in preceding clause (x), Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month and (iv) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02.  Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 2:00 p.m. at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, three (3) Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one (1) Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Term Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Term Loans.

2.07.                     Pro Rata Borrowings.  All Borrowings of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments.  It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

2.08.                     Interest.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b)                                 The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 11.01 or 11.04, overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Term Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate then borne by such Term Loans, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate applicable to Term Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time.

(d)                                 Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, and (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on written demand, and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on written demand.

(e)                                  Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans and shall promptly notify

19

the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09.                     Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one month period or (y) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such other period not to exceed one-month; provided that (in each case):

(i)                                     all LIBOR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

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

(iii)                               if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and

(iv)                              if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day.

If by 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period; provided that if the Borrower is not permitted to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10.                     Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.  (a)  In the event that any Lender (or with respect to clause (iv), any Lender or Agent) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent) after the Closing Date:

(i)                                     on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBO Rate”; or

(ii)                                  at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan (other than with

20

respect to Taxes) because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any Applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, to a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the LIBO Rate with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan); or

(iii)                               at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, or (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law); or

(iv)                              at any time, that any Change in Law shall subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on any LIBOR Loan;

then, and in any such event, such Lender or Agent, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) and clause (ii) above, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower (or if requested by Borrower, deemed a request for Base Rate Loans), (y) in the case of clause (ii) and clause (iv) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b) (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender or Agent, as applicable, promptly following such Lender’s or Agent’s written request (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or Agent in its reasonable discretion (in accordance with generally accepted financial practices) shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender or Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender or Agent, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender or Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)                                 At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) (or convert such request to a Base Rate Loan) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

21

(c)                                  If at any time after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or liquidity or similar requirement against such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, or against  any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments or other obligations hereunder, (ii) impose on any Lender any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Term Loan, Commitment or other obligation hereunder, or (iii) subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on any Term Loan, Commitment or other obligation hereunder, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender or such other corporation or any Agent of making, maintaining or participating in any Term Loan, Commitment or other obligation hereunder, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or such other corporation hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital or liquidity with respect to Term Loans, Commitments or other obligations, then within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the certificate referred to below by Borrower from any Lender or any Agent (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by any such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b) (to the extent applicable), agrees to pay to such Lender or such Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation or such Agent for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital or liquidity.  In determining such additional amounts, each Lender or Agent will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and customary; provided that such Lender’s or Agent’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.  Each Lender or Agent, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice  thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Lender or such Agent (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10).

2.11.                     Compensation.  (a) The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, promptly following its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day

22

of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Term Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or 5.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.12.                     Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or (d) or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, will use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Term Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.04.

2.13.                     Replacement of Lenders.  (a) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), Section 2.10(c) or (d) or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (b) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement as contemplated by the second or third proviso to Section 13.10(a), in each case, which has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(c), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to (i) replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) in the case of a replacement where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all of its Term Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans of such Lender where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Term Loans provided by the Replacement Lender or (ii) repay all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not then due and payable) of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Term Loans held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that:

(b)                                 at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(c) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(c) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender  (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Term Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans, the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) of, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced; and

(c)                                  all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (i) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has

23

been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11(a) or (ii) relating to any Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04.  Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.12 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Term Note or Term Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender to the extent contemplated herein.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption Agreement and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the Replacement Lender executed and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower required to be paid to the Replaced Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, then the Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender.

SECTION 3.                            Conversion and Deemed Issuance.

Upon the occurrence of the Delta Escrow Release Date, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (i.e., the original principal amount of Term Loans less all voluntary and mandatory prepayments previously made with respect thereto pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02) shall be automatically converted into Incremental Term Loans of the Parent which shall be deemed issued under, and outstanding pursuant to, the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Conversion and Deemed Issuance”) pursuant to the Incremental Amendment. In connection with, and in order to effect, the Conversion and Deemed Issuance, each Lender (for itself and its successors and assigns) hereby irrevocably agrees, to the execution of, and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Initial Lenders to execute, the Incremental Amendment and hereby irrevocably directs the Initial Lenders to do so upon the occurrence of the Effective Date.  Each Lender (for itself and its successors and assigns) hereby agrees that the only conditions to the effectiveness of the Conversion and Deemed Issuance shall be the occurrence of the Delta Escrow Release Date, and hereby irrevocably waives any other conditions to the Conversion and Deemed Issuance or related deemed incurrence of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement.

Upon the effectiveness of the Conversion and Deemed Issuance, and without any further action, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall automatically and without further action by any Person (a) cease to be of force or effect and (b) be superseded by the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Incremental Amendment; provided that all indemnification obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall survive with respect to actions taken or

24

occurring prior to the Conversion and Deemed Issuance, which obligations, shall be assumed by the Parent.

SECTION 4.                            Reductions of Commitments; Repricing Event; MFN Protection.

4.01.                     Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Term Loans on such date).

4.02.                     Repricing Event.  If any Repricing Event in respect of the Term Loans occurs after the Closing Date but prior to the Delta Escrow Release Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender (including any Lender which is replaced pursuant to Section 2.13 as a result of its refusal to consent to an amendment giving rise to such Repricing Event), a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event.  All such fees payable hereunder shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the occurrence of the respective Repricing Event.

4.03.                     MFN Protection.  In the event the Parent or its Subsidiaries enters into an Incremental Amendment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) providing for a new tranche of Incremental Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Parent Incremental Term Loans”) following the Closing Date, and which new tranche of Parent Incremental Term Loans is pari passu in right of payment and security to the Incremental Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) provided for under the Third Amendment, the Effective Yield for the Term Loans shall be increased (to the extent necessary) such that the Effective Yield thereof is not less than the Effective Yield (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of such Parent Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%.

SECTION 5.                            Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01.                     Voluntary Prepayments; Application of Escrow Funds Thereto.  The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions:  (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon at the Notice Office prior written notice (x) on the same Business Day (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of Base Rate Loans and (y) at least one (1) Business Day prior in the case of LIBOR Loans (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), of its intent to prepay any Term Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Term Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Term Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; provided that a notice of prepayment under this Section 5.01(i) may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of one or more specified events in which case such notice of prepayment may be rescinded by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied; (ii) each partial prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case); and (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01 in respect of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans. At the time the Borrower gives any notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01, it shall be permitted to direct the Escrow Agent to use Escrow Funds to make the respective voluntary prepayment (and to pay accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts owing with respect thereto, which the Escrow Agent shall do unless, after giving the effect thereto, the remaining Escrow Funds would be less than the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans which would remain outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment).

25

5.02.                     Mandatory Repayments.  (a)  The Borrower shall repay in full all outstanding Term Loans, in each case if the Delta Escrow Release Date has not therefore occurred, (1) on the Business Day after Delta Acquisition Deadline, (2) one Business Day after Parent notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that (a) Parent has determined that the Delta Acquisition will not be consummated on or before the Delta Acquisition Deadline or (b) the date of the termination of the Delta Acquisition Agreement by the Parent or with the written consent of the Parent, in each case prior to the closing of the Delta Acquisition or (3) on the Business Day that the Delta Acquisition has closed without the use of the Term Loans (each such event referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) above, a “Delta Special Mandatory Prepayment Event”).

(b)                                 The amount of each principal repayment of Term Loans made as required by Section 5.02(d), shall, subject to the provisions of the following clause (c), be applied to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relevant outstanding principal amounts thereof.

(c)                                  With respect to each partial repayment of Term Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made; provided that each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but not an obligation, to minimize breakage cost owing under Section 2.11.

(d)                                 The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory repayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(d), at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such repayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such repayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such repayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of any repayment.

5.03.                     Application of Escrow Funds.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of all Escrow Funds received pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to all payments of principal, interest and other amounts owing hereunder, in each case unless otherwise specifically provided herein.  All Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account on the Delta Escrow Release Date will be released to the Parent on the Delta Escrow Release Date. Following any repayment in full of the Term Loans prior to the occurrence of the Delta Escrow Release Date, all Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account or paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties after the payment in full of all principal, interest and other amounts then due and payable hereunder shall be returned by the Escrow Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable to the Borrower.

5.04.                     Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.04) the applicable Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

26

(b)                                 The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)                                  The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.04) payable or paid by such Lender or Agent, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)                                 Each Lender shall severally indemnify any Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by such Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes such Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)                                  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.04, 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.

(f)                                   (i) Any Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender or Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender or Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Agent.

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

27

(A)                               any Lender or Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; and

(B)                               any Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)                                 in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(b)                                 executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(c)                                  in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(d)                                 to the extent a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender or

28

Foreign Agent may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)                               any Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)                               if a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or such Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (B), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender or Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)                                  If any Lender or Agent and such Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of Tax or Other Tax with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04 (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender or Agent shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender or Agent shall, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, determines is equal to the net benefit, after tax and without interest, which was obtained by such Lender or Agent in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided that the Borrower shall repay to such Lender or Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Lender or the Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender or Agent to

29

make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)                                 Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Agent, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

5.05.                     Method and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Term Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Term Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

SECTION 6.                            Conditions Precedent to Credit Events on the Closing Date.  The obligation of each Lender to make Term Loans on the Closing Date, is subject at the time of the making of such Term Loans to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the following conditions:

SECTION 9.                            Affirmative Covenants.

The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Closing Date and until the Term Loans and Term Notes (in each case together with interest thereon) and all other Obligations (other than contingent obligations which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full or the Delta Escrow Release Date shall have occurred:

9.01.                     Existence.  The Borrower will do or cause to be done, all things necessary, as determined in its reasonable business judgment, to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence (except as a result of the Finance Sub Merger).

9.02.                     Use of Proceeds.  All proceeds of the Term Loans will be used to finance the Transaction (including by depositing same as Escrow Funds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) and to pay fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction and to pay amounts as required (or permitted) under the Credit Documents with Escrow Funds; provided that any proceeds in excess of those used as contemplated above may be retained by the Borrower or the Parent and used by it for its working capital and general corporate purposes.

On each subsequent one month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) additional funds to the Escrow Account, if any may be required, to increase the amounts deposited therein such that, after giving effect to any such deposit, the amount of Escrow Funds equals the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans plus the Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the interest which will accrue thereon from the Closing Date through the date one month after said latest deposit (less amounts actually applied to pay such interest) (or such shorter period as will end on the Delta Acquisition Deadline). Furthermore, and without limitation of the foregoing requirements, if at any time, and for any reason whatsoever, the balance of Escrow Funds is less than the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days of its receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the Escrow Account such amounts as are required to cure such deficiency.

9.04.                     Information.  Promptly following reasonable request, such information or documents (financial or otherwise) regarding the operations, business affairs and financial condition of the Borrower as the Administrative Agent or any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, the Borrower shall not be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or otherwise disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of, any information (i) subject to confidentiality agreements or attorney/client work privilege or which constitutes attorney work-product, (ii) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information or (iii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Applicable Law.

33

SECTION 10.                     Negative Covenants.

SECTION 12.                     The Administrative Agent.

12.01.              Appointment.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Morgan Stanley as Administrative Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Term Note by the acceptance of such Term Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and

35

thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates.

12.02.              Nature of Duties.  (a)  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or any of their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).  The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Term Note and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Arrangers are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, it being understood and agreed that the Arrangers shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the Arrangers shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship or other implied relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

12.03.              Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Term Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with the making and the continuance of the Term Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Term Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Term Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Affiliates or be required to

36

make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Affiliates or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, and shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

12.04.              Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.  If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans.  Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Term Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05.              Reliance.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order, electronic mail message, telephone message or other electronic medium signed, or other document or conversation sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed  to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

12.06.              Indemnification.  To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, and without relieving the Borrower of its obligation to do so, the Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders on the date such indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such date) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or a material breach of the obligations of the Administrative Agent (or any of its directors, officers, employees, partners, agents and other representatives) under the Credit Documents, in each case, as determined by a court of

37

competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.  The Agreements in this Section 12.06 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

12.07.              The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its obligation to make Term Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (or any Person engaged in a similar business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08.              Holders.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Term Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.09.              Resignation by the Administrative Agent.  (a)  Subject to the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the time frames set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, the Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.

Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b)                                 Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $1 billion acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if a Specified Default then exists).

(c)                                  In the case of resignation by the Administrative Agent, if a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Specified Default then exists)), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d)                                 If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or notice of removal was given by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent

38

hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e)                                  Upon a resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

12.10.              Collateral Matters.  (a)  Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Escrow Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Term Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Escrow Agreement which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(b)                                 The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Lien granted pursuant to the Escrow Agreement upon any Collateral (i) upon the occurrence of the Delta Escrow Release Date, (ii) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and payable) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.10) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in this Agreement or the relevant Credit Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10.

(c)                                  Without limiting the generality of Section 12.01 above, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Secured Parties with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Credit Documents (including in any proceeding described in Section 11.04 or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Credit Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in Section 11.04 or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Secured Party), (iii) act as collateral agent or collateral trustee for each Secured Party for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Credit Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Credit Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Credit Documents, applicable requirements of law or otherwise and (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Secured Parties, to the extent consented to in accordance with Section 13.10 and the terms thereof.

(b)                                 To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim (except as contemplated by the proviso to the second succeeding sentence) against any Indemnified Person or any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan, or the use of the proceeds of the foregoing.  No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, including, without limitation, SyndTrak, IntraLinks, the internet, email or similar electronic transmission systems, in each case, except to the extent any such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Credit Document by, such Indemnified Person (or its officers, directors, employees or Affiliates).  None of the Indemnified Persons or the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth herein in respect of damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Person to

41

a third party.  The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any legal proceeding effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff against an Indemnified Person in any such legal proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in the manner set forth above.  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such legal proceeding and (b) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission.

13.02.               Right of Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to the last sentence hereof, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) (other than accounts used exclusively for payroll, taxes, fiduciary and trust purposes, employee benefits and petty cash) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations then due and owing (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(c), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document in each case to the extent then due and owing.

13.03.               Notices.  (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including .pdf, telegraphic, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered:  (i) if to the Borrower, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; (ii) if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 1.01(a); and (iii) if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office or, as to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

(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 (it being agreed that all such notices and other communications may be sent via email or by way of posting by the Borrower or by another Person on the Borrower’s behalf on a relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access).  Each of the Administrative Agent and 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.

13.04.               Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective permitted successors and

42

assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders and; provided, further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Loan Participants in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(c)) and the Loan Participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and; provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Loan Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Term Note in which such Loan Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which shall not be considered to be a reduction in the rate of interest or fees) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Loan Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Term Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Loan Participant if the Loan Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Escrow Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents).  In the case of any such participation, the Loan Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Loan Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Loan Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b)                                 [Reserved]:

(c)                                  (i)                                     Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees constituting an Eligible Transferee (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loans) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)                               the Borrower (such consent deemed to have been made with respect to any assignment if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of notice of such assignment to an Authorized Officer of the Borrower); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (i) an assignment of all or a portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (ii) if a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; and

(B)                                the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein no assignment of any Term Loans or Commitments may be made to the Borrower.

(ii)  Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)                               except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the

43

assigning Lender’s Commitment or Term Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than an amount of $1,000,000, and shall be in increments of an amount of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)                                the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recordation fee; and

(C)                                no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.12.

To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Term Loans.  At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate IRS Forms and documentation under FATCA described in Section 5.04(f).  To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(c) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, or additional sums pursuant to Section 5.04(a), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment) or such additional sums.

(d)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Term Loans and Term Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or such central bank, any Lender may pledge all or any portion of its Term Loans and Term Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e)                                  Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Term Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(c) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(f)                                    [Reserved].

(g)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Term Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the

44

terms hereof.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Term Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h)                                 The Borrower agrees that each Loan Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.04(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.04(f) shall be delivered by the Loan Participant to its participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Loan Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Loan Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Loan Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Loan Participant or any information relating to a Loan Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(i)                                     The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, on the Delta Escrow Release Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Administrative Agent under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (i) a list of the Lenders and the outstanding principal amount of, and interest payable on, the Term Loans owing to each Lender as reflected in the Register as of the Delta Escrow Release Date and (ii) a list of the Loan Participants, the outstanding principal amount of, and interest payable on, the Term Loans owing to each Loan Participant and the Term Loans and Lenders to which such participation relates, as reflected in the Participant Register as of the Delta Escrow Release Date.

13.05.               No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise

45

of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06.               Payments Pro Rata.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b)                                 Each of the Lenders agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement.

13.07.               GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.  EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH

46

SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF (i) ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR (ii) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY TERM NOTE TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)                                 EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

13.08.               Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of a counterpart via facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute delivery of an original counterpart.  A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

13.09.               Headings Descriptive.  The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

13.10.                Amendment or Waiver; etc.  (a)  Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender (but not the Required Lenders) (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Term Note beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Lender holding such Term Loan or Term Note or (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof of such Lender holding such Term Loan or Term Note; provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.10(a) which would result in the reduction of the voting thresholds specified herein, or (iii) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders”; provided, further, that no such change, waiver,

47

discharge or termination shall (i) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment or a mandatory repayment or commitment reduction of Term Loans shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of such Lender) and (ii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.04) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Term Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c)                                  [Reserved].

(d)                                 [Reserved].

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.10, the Escrow Agreement and any other related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, modified, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Applicable Law (including any foreign law or regulatory requirement) or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, inconsistency, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Escrow Agreement or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(f)                                    If following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an inconsistency, obvious error, or mistake or any error, mistake  or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Documents and, in cases not covered by preceding clause (e), if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

13.11.                 Survival.  All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Term Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.12.                Register.  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.12, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Term Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of, or stated interest on, the Term Loans of each Lender.  Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans.  With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Term Loan made

48

pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Term Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Term Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.  The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Term Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b).  Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Term Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Term Note (if any) evidencing such Term Loan, and thereupon one or more new Term Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.13.                Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose (without the prior written consent of the Borrower) (other than to its employees, agents, representatives, auditors, advisors or counsel, its Affiliates involved in the Transaction or the administration of the Credit Documents on a “need to know” basis or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its reasonable discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information; provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.13 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.13, (ii) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors (provided that, except with respect to disclosures to supervisory or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such Lender, the applicable Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation), (iii) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation (provided that the applicable Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation), (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender or as requested by a Governmental Authority (provided that, except with respect to disclosures to supervisory or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such Lender, the applicable Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation), (v) to the extent such information is received by the Administrative Agent or Lender from a third party that is not known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be subject to confidentiality arrangements to the Borrower, (vi) to the Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as such), (vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (other than a Disqualified Institution), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.13, (viii) to any prospective or actual Eligible Transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Term Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender otherwise permitted by this Agreement; provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.13, (ix) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (x) solely to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender without any confidential information provided by (or on behalf of) the Borrower and (xi) on a confidential basis, to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or the facilities hereunder.

49

13.14.                No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arms-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are, and have been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents or as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

13.15.                PATRIOT ACT.  Each Lender subject to 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 and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

13.16.                [RESERVED]

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

13.18.                Lender Action.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy pursuant to any of the Credit Documents against the Borrower or any other obligor in each case under any of the Credit Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help (other than any such right afforded by Section 13.02 hereof)), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of the Borrower as a Lender in connection with any of the Credit Documents, unless expressly provided for herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof) or in any other Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

13.19.                Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have signed a

counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (by electronic transmission or otherwise) the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing), written or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it.  The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

13.20.               Domicile of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer and carry its Term Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender (other than to a Disqualified Institution). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 13.20 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11(a) or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for or otherwise indemnify such Lender for such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay for and indemnify such Lender for any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer to the extent provided for in Sections 2.10, 2.11(a) or 5.04).
