Letter of Credit Participation

          (a) Each Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, severally (and not jointly) takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuer under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuer for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.8 and 2.10 that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of

Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

          (b) The Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing), of the date and the amount of each draft paid under each Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement payment shall not have been made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.8(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender shall promptly make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuer promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuer from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this clause (b) above (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, as the case may be, resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, as the case may be). If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit, such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to (i) from the date such Lender should have made such amount available until the third day therefrom, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (ii) thereafter, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2%, in each case payable upon demand by the Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Issuer upon receipt thereof in like funds as received.

          (c) Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuer, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuer, if such payment by a Lender was paid by the Administrative Agent to the Issuer) will promptly pay over such payment to such Lender.
