Borrowings and Loans may (but need not) be identified both by Class and Type (e.g., a “Base Rate Revolving Loan” is a loan that bears interest at the Base Rate and is a Revolving Loan).

Section 1.04. Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein or in any Credit Document shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or extended, replaced or refinanced (subject to any restrictions or qualifications on such amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, supplements or modifications or extensions, replacements or refinancings set forth herein), (b) any reference to any law in any Credit Document shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such law, (c) any reference herein or in any Credit Document to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (d) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, when used in any Credit Document, shall be construed to refer to such Credit Document in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (e) all references herein or in any Credit Document to Articles, Sections, clauses, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections, clauses and paragraphs of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, such Credit Document, (f) in the computation of periods of time in any Credit Document from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and “until” mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including” and (g) the words “asset” and “property”, when used in any Credit Document, shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including Cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

Section 1.05. Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and all corresponding definitions) are made after giving effect to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 1.06. Timing of Payment of Performance; Times of Day. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

Section 1.07. Exchange Rates; Currencies Generally.

(a) For purposes of any determination under Section 2.22(a), Article 6 and Article 8 or Article 9 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Junior Payment, Investment, Prepayment Asset Sale, Disposition, Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, Affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement, (any of the foregoing, a “specified transaction”), in a currency

other than Dollars, (i) the Dollar equivalent amount of a specified transaction in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of such specified transaction (which, in the case of any Restricted Junior Payment, shall be deemed to be the date of the declaration or giving irrevocable notice (which may be conditional) in respect thereof, as applicable, and, in the case of the incurrence of Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be on the date first committed); provided that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus any committed but undrawn amounts and underwriting discounts, other reasonable and customary fees, commissions, costs and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 8.02 and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any specified transaction so long as such specified transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared as set forth in clause (i). For purposes of the Financial Covenant or any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable (or, prior to the first such delivery to in Section 5.11(a)), for the relevant Test Period and will, with respect to any Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Borrower would not be in compliance with the Financial Covenant if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with the Financial Covenant if such Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant currency exchange rates over such Test Period (taking into account the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness), then, solely for purposes of compliance with the Financial Covenant, the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such average relevant currency exchange rates.

(b) The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rate as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit that are denominated in any Alternate Currency. The Spot Rate shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rate employed in converting any amount between any Alternate Currency and Dollars until the next occurring Revaluation Date.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.

Section 1.08. Additional Alternate Currencies.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternate Currency”; provided that the requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and, in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the applicable Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the applicable Issuing Lender may withhold such approval in the event that it does not issue letters of credit in such currency).

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. 5 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Borrowing or Letter of Credit (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender). In the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender and the relevant Issuing Lender thereof. Each such Revolving Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m., 2 Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit in the requested currency.

(c) Any failure by any Revolving Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph (b) shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in the requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender that would be obligated to make Revolving Loans denominated in the requested currency consent to making Revolving

Loans in the requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternate Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans; and if the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the relevant Issuing Lender consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in the requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternate Currency hereunder for purposes of the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. If the Administrative Agent fails to obtain the requisite consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.08, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

Section 1.09. Cashless Rolls. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, to the extent that any Lender voluntarily extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Loans in connection with any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, Replacement Revolving Loans, Loans in connection with any Extension pursuant to Section 12.06(c) or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Credit Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

Section 2.01. Commitments. (a) Each Initial Term Lender severally agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a loan in Dollars (each, an “Initial Term Loan” and collectively, the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Loan Commitment. To the extent repaid, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Initial Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving loans in Dollars or in one or more Alternate Currencies (each, a “Initial Revolving Loan,” and collectively, the “Initial Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including, subject to Section 2.01(c), the Closing Date to but not including the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, provided that no Borrowing of Initial Revolving Loans shall be made if, immediately after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds therefrom:

(i) the sum of (y) the aggregate principal amount of Initial Revolving Loans of such Lender outstanding at such time and (z) such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure at such time would exceed its Initial Revolving Credit Commitment at such time; or

(ii) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Initial Revolving Loans outstanding at such time, (y) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such time and (z) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time would exceed the aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments at such time.

Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Initial Revolving Loans.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Initial Revolving Loans shall be available on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000,000 to finance a portion of the Transactions and for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

(d) The Swingline Lender agrees, subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans in Dollars to the Borrower (each, a “Swingline Loan,” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”), from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Business Day following the Closing Date to but not including the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding the Swingline Commitment, notwithstanding that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when added to the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Lender outstanding at such time and its Letter of Credit Exposure at such time, may exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment at such time; provided that no Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be made if immediately after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at such time, (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time and (z) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such time would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay (including by means of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(e)) and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender with any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Additional Term Commitments, as the case may be, of a given Class, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Additional Revolving Loans and/or Additional Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Class to the Borrower, which Loans shall not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Additional Term Commitment, as the case may be, of such Class of such Lender as set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement.

(f) Each Revolving Lender, may, at its option, make any Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loan; provided, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Revolving Lender shall not be entitled to any greater payment, indemnification or reimbursement under Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 with respect to such Revolving Loan than that which the applicable Revolving Lender was entitled on the date on which such Revolving Loan was made.

Section 2.02. Borrowings. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Loans shall, at the option of the Borrower, be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, provided, however, that all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be of the same Type and Class. The Swingline Loans shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans at all times.

(b) In order to make a Borrowing (other than (w) Borrowings of Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.02(d), (x) Borrowings for the purpose of repaying Refunded Swingline Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.02(e), (y) Borrowings for the purpose of repaying unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, which shall be made pursuant to Section 3.05, and (z) Borrowings involving continuations or conversions of outstanding Loans, which shall be made pursuant to Section 2.11), the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent written notice not later than 12:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days prior to each Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day of such Borrowing); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loans borrowed on the Closing Date may, at the election of the Borrower, be borrowed as LIBOR Loans and any Loans to be made on the Closing Date may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be given later than the times specified hereinabove. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 and shall specify (i) the currency and aggregate principal amount, Class and initial Type of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (iii) the requested date of such Borrowing (the “Borrowing Date”), which shall be a Business Day. Upon its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender or Revolving Lender, as applicable, of the proposed Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing of Term Loans shall be in the amount of the aggregate Term Loan Commitments;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans shall not be less than $250,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $250,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $100,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $100,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, if less, in the amount of the aggregate Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments), the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Loans shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $1,000,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof,

(iii) if the Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type of Loans, then it shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans;

(iv) if the Borrower shall have failed to select the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of three months; and

(v) if the Borrower shall have failed to select the currency applicable to any Borrower, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Borrowing of Loans denominated in Dollars.

(c) In the case of each Borrowing of Loans, not later than 10:00 a.m. (or in the case of any Base Rate Loan requested on the same day, not later than 1:00 p.m.) on the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Term Loans), each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at its office referred to in Section 12.05 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate) an amount, in Dollars or the applicable Alternate Currency and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions to lending hereunder, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03 and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) In order to make a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender written notice not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall not be less than (A) $50,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, in the amount of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment)) and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at its office (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate) an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. To the extent the Swingline Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make such amount available to the appropriate Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03 and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) With respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender may at any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in its sole and absolute discretion, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Borrower to, cause a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent (if the Administrative Agent is different from the Swingline Lender) and each other Revolving Lender (on behalf of, and with a copy to, the Borrower), not later than 11:00 a.m., one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date therefor, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by the Borrower) requesting the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans (which shall be made initially as Base Rate Loans) on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given that the Swingline Lender requests to be repaid. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested

Borrowing Date, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) will make available to the Administrative Agent at its office referred to in Section 12.05 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate) an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. To the extent the Revolving Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, which shall apply such amounts in repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline Lender’s ratable share thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above (including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Lender), and such Refunded Swingline Loans deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.15(b).

(f) If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to subsection (e) above in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the Swingline Lender is otherwise precluded for any reason from giving a notice on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(e), the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have sold without recourse, representation or warranty, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its ratable share (based on the proportion that its Revolving Credit Commitment bears to the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitments are then in effect and if the Revolving Credit Commitments have ceased to be in effect, then pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such cessation) of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon at the rate then payable on Loans that bear interest by reference to the Base Rate. Upon one Business Day’s prior notice from the Swingline Lender, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) will make available to the Administrative Agent at its office referred to in Section 12.05 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate) an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its respective participation. To the extent the Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this subsection (f), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the Adjusted Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans. Promptly following its receipt of any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein such Lender’s ratable share of such payment.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to subsection (e) above and each such Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to subsection (f) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Revolving Lender hereunder.

Section 2.03. Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the terms of any Notice of Borrowing or other written instructions from any Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent has received, prior to 10:00 a.m. (or in the case of any Base Rate Loan requested on the same day, prior to 1:00 p.m.) on the relevant Borrowing Date, written notice from a Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion, if any, of the relevant Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on such Borrowing Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.02, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower, such Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate (or (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate and (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the Alternate Currency in which such Borrowing is denominated); and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable at such time to the Type and Class of Loans comprising such Borrowing, as determined under the provisions of Section 2.08. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing, but, except as otherwise provided herein, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender as part of any Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Notes. (a) If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time after the Closing Date, the Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced (i) in the case of Term Loans, by a Term Note appropriately completed, (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a Revolving Note appropriately completed, (iii) in the case of the Swingline Loans, by a Swingline Note appropriately completed; it being understood and agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable registered assigns) shall be required to return such Note to the Borrower for cancellation in accordance with Section 12.07(c) and upon the Termination Date.

(b) Each Lender will record on its internal records the amount and Type of each Loan made by it and each payment received by it in respect thereof and will, in the event of any transfer of any of its Notes, either endorse on the reverse side thereof or on a schedule attached thereto (or any continuation thereof) the outstanding principal amount and Type of the Loans evidenced thereby as of the date of transfer or provide such information on a schedule to the Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliate Assignment Agreement relating to such transfer; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or provide any such information, or any error therein, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 2.05. Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Swingline Commitment. (a) The Initial Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Closing Date. The Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Section or Section 9.02. The Additional Term Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement, the undrawn amount thereof shall automatically terminate and the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Facility Agreement.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a termination or reduction of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Lender), the Borrower may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 in the case of the Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments ($100,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of the Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments ($100,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) in excess thereof. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this subsection (b) may not thereafter be reinstated.

(c) Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be applied ratably among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that any Incremental Revolving Facility may provide that the Borrower may terminate the commitments of such Incremental Revolving Facility on a less than pro rata basis with any other existing Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section that has the effect of reducing the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount less than the amount of the Swingline Commitment, at such time shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment to the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (as so reduced), without any further action on the part of the Borrower or the Swingline Lender (and shall require immediate prepayment of the Swingline Loans to the extent that the Swingline Commitment is reduced below the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding).

Section 2.06. Mandatory Payments and Prepayments. (a) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower will repay the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans, (A) commencing with the first full fiscal quarter beginning after the Closing Date, on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and each subsequent fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in each case in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loans made on the Closing Date (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with this Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or purchases in accordance with 12.07(d) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22(a)) and (B) on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the remainder of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, Incremental Facility Agreement or Extension Amendment (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with this Section 2.06 or purchases in accordance with 12.07(d)).

(c) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the aggregate outstanding principal of all Initial Revolving Loans (in Dollars or the relevant Alternate Currency) and Swingline Loans in full on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(d) In the event that, on any Revaluation Date, the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans of any Class outstanding at such time, (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time and (z) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at such time (excluding the aggregate amount of any Loans to be repaid on the date of determination) shall exceed an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), the Borrower will

promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, at the Borrower’s option: (i) prepay Swingline Loans, (ii) prepay Revolving Loans and/or (iii) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure, in the aggregate amount of such excess, after receiving written notice from the Administrative Agent of such excess.

(e) Promptly upon (and in any event not later than five Business Days after) the receipt thereof by the Borrower, or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower will prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(h), the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Issuance.

(f) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.06(f), promptly upon (and in any event not later than 30 Business Days after) the receipt thereof of Net Cash Proceeds from any Prepayment Asset Sale or Casualty Event, in each case, in excess of (i) $17,500,000 in a single transaction or a series of related transactions or (ii) $60,000,000 in the aggregate for all such transactions after the Closing Date by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and subject to the Borrower’s right to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided below, the Borrower will prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(h), the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto in excess of such threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have the option (to be exercised by the Borrower notifying the Administrative Agent of its intention to reinvest prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made), directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Prepayment Asset Sale or Casualty Event, as the case may be, in assets of the general type used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (x) within one year of receipt thereof or (y) if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has committed to so reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds during such one-year period and such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested, not more than six months after the expiration of such one-year period and (B) if, at the time that any such prepayment would be required hereunder, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on a pari passu basis with any Secured Obligation pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Prepayment Asset Sale or Casualty Event (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid or repurchased), the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood that (1) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, (and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.06(f) shall be reduced accordingly and (2) to the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(g) Within 10 Business Days after the date that the annual consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b) after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Closing Date (the “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date”), beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about December 31, 2015, the Borrower will prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(h), the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in an amount equal to (x) the Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for such fiscal year minus (y) other than to the extent made from Net Cash Proceeds from any Permitted Cure Securities or Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness), (i) voluntary repayments of the Loans during such fiscal year or thereafter prior to the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date (without duplication between fiscal years) (solely, in the case of Revolving Loans, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and (ii) the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Section 12.07(d) or (e) of this Agreement (including in connection with any Dutch Auction) on a dollar for dollar basis (it being understood that any such reduction pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above made at a discount to par will only reduce such payment or prepayment pursuant to this clause (g) by the amount of cash actually paid).

(h) In the event that the obligation of the Borrower to prepay the Term Loans shall arise pursuant to subsections (e) through (g) above, except as otherwise provided in any Refinancing Amendment, any Incremental Facility Agreement or any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in the amount of such prepayment obligation within the applicable time periods specified in subsections (e) through (g) above, with such prepayment to be applied to the Term Loans pro rata in direct order of maturity for the next eight scheduled principal payments on the Term Loans and, thereafter, on a pro rata basis according to the amount of each such scheduled amortization payment; provided, that any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Refinancing Indebtedness, Incremental Term Facility, Permitted External Refinancing Debt or Refinancing Term Loans shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans being refinanced or replaced. Each payment or prepayment pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each, and shall be applied (1) first, to prepay all Base Rate Loans, and (2) second, to the extent of any excess remaining after application as provided in clause (1) above, to prepay all LIBOR Loans (and as among LIBOR Loans, (A) first to prepay those LIBOR Loans, if any, having Interest Periods ending on the date of such prepayment, and (B) thereafter, to the extent of any excess remaining after application as provided in clause (A) above, to prepay LIBOR Loans in the manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18).

(i) Each payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan made pursuant to the provisions of this Section on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be made together with all amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence thereof.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision under this Section 2.06 to the contrary, (i) any amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.06(f) and (g) above shall not be required to be so prepaid to the extent any such Excess Cash Flow is generated by a Foreign Subsidiary or such Net Cash Proceeds are received by a Foreign

Subsidiary, for so long as the repatriation to the United States of any such amounts would be prohibited under any Requirement of Law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriation of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) to the extent provided herein (without regard to this clause (j)); and (ii) if the repatriation by a Foreign Subsidiary to the United States of any amount required to mandatorily prepay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(f) and (g) above would result in material adverse cash tax consequences to the Borrower (including pursuant to any Tax sharing arrangements or any Tax Distribution), any of the Borrower’s direct or indirect equity owners or its Restricted Subsidiaries, taking into account any foreign tax credits or benefits actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as reasonably determined by the Borrower, the amount the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(f) and (g) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount until such time as it may repatriate to the United States such Restricted Amount without incurring such material adverse cash tax liability; provided that to the extent that the repatriation of any Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow from such Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material adverse cash tax consequence, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, not previously applied pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 as otherwise required above (without regard to this clause (j)).

(k) Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time, and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, of any prepayment of Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06 (except any prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.06(e)), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case, such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and shall be added to the calculation of the Available Amount. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its applicable percentage of such mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of the Loans.

Section 2.07. Voluntary Prepayments; Premium. (a) At any time and from time to time, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in subclause (ii) below and subject to the provisions of clause (c) below), upon written notice (or telephonic notice if followed promptly by written notice) given

to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment (or, in the case of a prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, on the date of such prepayment), provided that (i) each partial prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $250,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $250,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $100,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $100,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof, each partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $1,000,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof and (ii) unless made together with any amounts required under Section 2.18 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount, Class and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Borrowing pursuant to which made and the Interest Period applicable thereto), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07(d)). Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (but not Term Loans) prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.07 may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Each prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to clause (a) above shall be applied to the scheduled principal payments of such Loans as directed by the Borrower and in the absence of such direction, in the direct order of maturity. Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each.

(c) If, prior to the 6 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (i) repays, prepays, refinances or replaces any Initial Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction or (ii) effects any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent under, this Agreement that results in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with an outstanding Initial Term Loan (x) in the case of clause (i), a premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced or replaced and (y) in the case of clause (ii) a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent. If prior to the 6 month anniversary of the Closing Date all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans held by any Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced or replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any amendment, modification, waiver or consent referred to in clause (ii) above, such prepayment, repayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, refinanced or replaced. All such amounts shall be due and payable on the effective date of the applicable Repricing Transaction.

(d) Any notice in respect of a prepayment of the Credit Facilities (including in connection with a Change in Control or issuance of Indebtedness) (an “Original Prepayment Notice”) may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower by providing notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of prepayment as specified in such Original Prepayment Notice, and the failure to make a prepayment pursuant to such an Original Prepayment Notice shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 2.08. Interest. (a) Each Loan will bear interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full as follows:

(i) each Base Rate Borrowing of Term Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate;

(ii) each Adjusted LIBOR Rate Borrowing of Term Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing;

(iii) each Base Rate Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate; and

(iv) each Adjusted LIBOR Rate Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are denominated in Dollars or any Alternate Currency shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing; and

(v) each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(a) (solely with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees due under this Agreement), (f) or (g), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees hereunder, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest of any Loan, 2.00% plus the interest rate applicable from time to time thereafter to such Loans (whether the Adjusted Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (ii) in the case of fees, 2.00% plus the rate then applicable to Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief under any Debtor Relief Law.

(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06, except as provided herein below), in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date; provided that, in the event the Loans are repaid or prepaid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect of all Base Rate Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;

(ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06, except as provided herein below), in arrears (y) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (z) in addition, in the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period having a duration of more than three months, each three month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day); provided that, in the event any LIBOR Loans are repaid or prepaid, the accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;

(iii) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders; and

(iv) in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest, including in the case of default interest, to any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount, provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide the Borrower or the Lenders with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of the Borrower or the Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or any Lender. Each such determination (including each determination of the Reserve Requirement) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Section 2.09. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay:

(a) To the Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, on the Closing Date, the fees described in Section 1 of the Engagement Letter, in the amounts set forth therein as due and payable on such date and to the extent not theretofore paid to it.

(b) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), a commitment fee for each fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) for the period from the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates, equal to the Commitment Fee Rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class, on such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the average daily aggregate Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate.

(c) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, a letter of credit fee for each fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin Percentage in effect from time to time during such quarter for Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Loans, on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit.

(d) To each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, for each fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all such Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in any event not to exceed 0.20% per annum), on the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date of termination of the last outstanding of such Letters of Credit.

(e) To each Issuing Lender, for its own account, such reasonable commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges incurred in connection with the issuance and administration of each Letter of Credit as are customarily charged from time to time by such Issuing Lender for the performance of such services in connection with similar letters of credit, but without duplication of amounts payable under subsection (d) above.

(f) To the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee described in the Agency Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein.

Section 2.10. Interest Periods. Concurrently with the giving of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, any conversion of Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans, or any continuation of LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect, pursuant to such notice, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period (or if available to all relevant Lenders, 12 months or less than one month period (as selected by the Borrower)); provided, however, that:

(i) all LIBOR Loans comprising a single 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 the Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any continuation of, or conversion into, such LIBOR Loan), and each successive Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) LIBOR Loans may not be outstanding under more than 10 separate Interest Periods at any one time (for which purpose Interest Periods shall be deemed to be separate even if they are coterminous);

(iv) if any Interest Period otherwise would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) no Borrower may select any Interest Period that expires after (1) the applicable Maturity Date (with respect to LIBOR Loans that are Term Loans) or (2) the applicable Maturity Date (with respect to LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Loans); and

(vi) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period would otherwise expire, such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month.

Section 2.11. Conversions and Continuations. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, on any Business Day occurring on or after the Closing Date, to elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate Loans of any Class into LIBOR Loans of the same Class, or to convert any LIBOR Loans of any Class the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans of the same Class, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans of any Class, the Interest Periods for which end on the same day, for an additional Interest Period, provided that (w) any such conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $500,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof; any such conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or

continuation of, LIBOR Loans shall involve an aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $1,000,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof; and no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans to less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $1,000,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $500,000 (or, in the case of any LIBOR Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency, the equivalent of $500,000 denominated in such Alternate Currency) in excess thereof, (x) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(d), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) no such conversion or continuation shall be permitted with regard to any Base Rate Loans that are Swingline Loans and (z) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) The Borrower shall make each such election by giving the Administrative Agent written notice not later than 12:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any such conversion or continuation (or in the case of a conversion of any Loan into a Base Rate Loan, on the date of such conversion). Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-3 and shall specify (x) the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the currency and aggregate principal amount, Class and Type of the Loans being converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender having a Commitment for Loans (or outstanding Loans) of the relevant Class of the proposed conversion or continuation. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall be continued at the end of its Interest Period as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month. In the event the Borrower shall have failed to select in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable to any conversion into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period with a duration of three months.

Section 2.12. Method of Payments; Computations. (a) All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be made directly to the Issuing Lender and the Lenders), (i) in the case of payments of principal and interest with respect to any Loan, in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, and in the case of payments of fees, expenses and any other amounts due hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in Dollars, in each case to the Administrative Agent at its office referred to in Section 12.05, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date payment is due. Any payment made as required hereinabove, but after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that

is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except that in the case of LIBOR Loans to which the provisions of clause (iv) in Section 2.10 are applicable, such due date shall be the next preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall then be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable amounts.

(b) The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the payment is received by 1:00 p.m. in immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each relevant Lender on the same date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such payment (based on the percentage that the amount of the relevant payment owing to such Lender bears to the total amount of such payment owing to all of the relevant Lenders), and (ii) if such payment is received after 1:00 p.m. or in other than immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each such Lender its ratable share of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of such payment with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate (or (A) in the case of a payment in respect of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate and (B) in the case of a payment in respect of a Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the Alternate Currency in which such Borrowing is denominated). The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Issuing Lender like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that such payment will not be made in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance on such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, cause to be distributed to such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment in accordance with the terms hereof, such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount so distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is so distributed to such Lender until the date repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate (or (A) in the case of a payment in respect of a Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate and (B) in the case of a payment in respect of a Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the Alternate Currency in which such Borrowing is denominated) for the first Business Day and thereafter at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Class of Loan.

(d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder (including computations of the Reserve Requirement) shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under (i) and (ii) above, with regard to the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 2.13. Recovery of Payments. (a) The Borrower agrees that to the extent the Borrower makes a payment or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(b) If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Lender are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or its representative or successor in interest, whether by court order or by settlement approved by the Lender in question, such Lender will, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or its representative or successor in interest, the Administrative Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Lenders on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed.

Section 2.14. [Reserved].

Section 2.15. Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings, continuations and conversions of Loans of any Class shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments to provide Loans of such Class (in the case of the initial funding of Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.02) or on the basis of their respective outstanding Loans of such Class (in the case of continuations and conversions of Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.11, and additionally in all cases in the event the Commitments have expired or have been terminated), as the case may be from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments on account of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively.

(b) Each Lender agrees that if it shall receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, realization upon security, exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, counterclaim or cross action, or otherwise) applicable to the payment of any of the Obligations that exceeds its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of such Obligations due and payable to all Lenders at such time) of payments on account of such Obligations then or therewith obtained by all the Lenders to which such payments are required to have been made, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such

excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each such other Lender shall be rescinded and each such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any and all rights of payment (including, without limitation, setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim) with respect to such participation as fully as if such participant were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable Debtor Relief Law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this subsection applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this subsection to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(c) The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment, prepayment, purchase, assignment or distribution made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22, 2.23 and 12.06(c) through (h).

Section 2.16. Increased Costs; Change in Circumstances; Illegality; Etc. (a) If the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law but which such Lender customarily complies with) given or made after the Closing Date, shall

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (but excluding any reserves to the extent actually included within the Reserve Requirement in the calculation of any LIBOR Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender or its applicable Lending Office; or

(ii) subject any Recipient 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 its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on such Lender or its applicable Lending Office any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (including in respect of Letters of Credit), in an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.21(a), pay to such Lender such additional amounts as shall compensate such Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in return; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if the relevant introduction, change or compliance occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto; provided, further, that the Borrower shall only be liable for such compensation in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above, if the relevant introduction, change or compliance results from a market disruption and (A) the relevant circumstances are generally affecting the banking market or (B) the applicable request has been made by the Required Lenders.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) given or made after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect, as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment, Loans or issuance of or participations in Letters of Credit hereunder, of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or controlling Person could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into account such Lender’s or controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), the Borrower will, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.21(a), pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or controlling Person for such reduction in return.

(c) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (x) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined that by reason of circumstances affecting interbank markets generally, deposits in Eurodollars in the applicable amounts in the applicable currency are not being quoted or offered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for such Interest Period, (y) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders of their determination that the rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” upon the basis of which the applicable LIBOR Rate for the applicable currency for such Interest Period is to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the relevant Type of LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon such notice, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans of each Interest Period type specified in such notice (each, a “Relevant Type”) shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto, be converted into Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders shall establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate) or prepaid in full and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, to convert Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans of

each Relevant Type shall be suspended (including pursuant to the Borrowing to which such Interest Period applies), in each case until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and upon such determination the Required Lenders (if making such determination) shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to continue to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such Lender will forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) each of such Lender’s then outstanding LIBOR Loans of each Relevant Type shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Loan until such expiration date, upon such notice), be converted into a Base Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders shall establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate), (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans of each Relevant Type shall be suspended (including pursuant to any Borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans of each Relevant Type shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan (or, in the case of a pending request for a Borrowing denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders shall establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate), in each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and shall have so notified the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith determination of such lender; otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(e) Determinations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of this Section of any increased costs, reduction in return, market contingencies, illegality, additional interest or any other matter shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made in good faith. Except as provided in Section 2.21(c), no failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time to demand payment of any amounts payable under this Section shall constitute a waiver of its right to demand payment of any additional amounts arising at any subsequent time. Nothing in this Section shall require or be construed to require the Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or other amounts in excess of that permitted by applicable law.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) subsections (a) through (e) of this Section 2.16 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States (or, in the case of clause (y), foreign) regulatory authority (x) under or in connection with the implementation of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (y) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, and (ii) this Section 2.16 shall not apply to Taxes imposed in respect of any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made 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 applicable Credit Party 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Credit Parties 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after written 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 (together with a reasonable explanation thereof) delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to

comply with the provisions of Section 12.07(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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Credit Party 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.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender 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, 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 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 Section 2.17(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(B) any Foreign Lender 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 becomes a Lender 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:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) 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 W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) 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;

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or any successor form);

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender 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 H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender 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 becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 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 has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if it becomes aware any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become 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.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party (incurred in connection with such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party 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 indemnified party to 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.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.18. Compensation. The Borrower will compensate each Lender for the actual amount of any actual 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 or maintain LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profit) that such Lender may incur or sustain (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Loan by or to the Borrower does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (b) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan by the Borrower occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.02), (c) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan by the Borrower is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower or (d) as a consequence of any other failure by the Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan when due hereunder. The Borrower will, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.21(a), pay such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such losses, expenses or liabilities.

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the

Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(ii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.09(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.09(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19(d). With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iii) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be automatically reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, after and so long as the Administrative Agent has provided written notice to the Borrower of such reallocation, unless the Borrower shall otherwise notify the Administrative Agent that such conditions are not satisfied at the time of such reallocation within three Business Days of receiving such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19(d).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that the participations therein will be fully allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein and (ii) Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the participations in any existing Letters of Credit as well as the new, extended, renewed or increased Letter of Credit has been or will be fully allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein except to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s participation has been or will be fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.19(d).

(d) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iii) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by (or being held pursuant to Section 2.19(a)(i) in lieu of distribution to) any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (A) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (B) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.19, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Credit Documents.

Section 2.20. Replacement of Lenders.

The Borrower may, at any time, replace any Lender (a) that has requested compensation from the Borrower under Section 2.16 or 2.17, (b) the obligation of which to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been suspended under Section 2.16(d), (c) that has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure (each, a “Proposed Change”) by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement that, pursuant to Section 12.06 (a)(i), requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have consented to the Proposed Change, or (d)(x) that shall become and continue to be a Defaulting Lender and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.19(b) within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default, by written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and identifying one or more Persons each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee (each, a “Replacement Lender” and collectively, the “Replacement Lenders”) to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”); provided, however, that (i) the notice from the Borrower to the Replaced Lender and the Administrative Agent provided for hereinabove shall specify an effective date for such replacement (the “Replacement Effective Date”), (ii) as of the relevant Replacement Effective Date, each Replacement Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliate Assignment Agreement with the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 12.07 (but shall not be required to pay the processing fee otherwise payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.07, which fee, for purposes hereunder, shall be waived), pursuant to which such Replacement Lenders collectively shall acquire, in such proportion among them as they may agree with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all (but not less than all) of the Commitment and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender affected by the Proposed Change or other condition described above, and, in connection therewith, shall pay (x) to the Replaced Lender, as the purchase price in respect thereof, an amount equal to the sum as of the Replacement Effective Date (without duplication) of (1) the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender affected by the Proposed Change or other condition described above (unless the Borrower agrees with such Replacement Lender to pay such accrued but unpaid interest directly to the Replaced Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliate Assignment Agreement) and (2) the Replaced Lender’s ratable share of all accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Replaced Lender under Section 2.09(b), (y) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent by the Replaced Lender under Section 2.03(b) and (z) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, any amounts owing to the Swingline Lender under Section 2.02(f), and (iii) all other obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid), including, without limitation, amounts payable under Sections 2.16 and Section 2.17 which give rise to the replacement of such Replaced Lender and amounts payable under Section 2.18 as a result of the actions required to be taken under this Section 2.20, shall be paid in full by the Borrower to the Replaced Lender on or prior to the Replacement Effective Date. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Replaced Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 12.07. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the

requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 12.07 on behalf of a Replaced Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 12.07.

Section 2.21. Mitigation; Etc. (a) Any Lender or Issuing Lender claiming reimbursement, compensation or indemnity under Sections 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, shall be required to deliver to the Borrower a certificate (i) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to it necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or the holding company thereof, as applicable, (ii) setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and (iii) certifying that such Lender or Issuing Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Any Recipient claiming any amounts pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid any costs, reductions or Taxes in respect of which such amounts are claimed, including the filing of any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or the changing of the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such efforts would avoid the need for or reduce any such amounts that would thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Recipient, as applicable, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks to such Recipient or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Recipient.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation or indemnification; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate or indemnify a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 for any increased costs, reductions or any other amount incurred (or, in the case of Section 2.17, for any interest, penalties or additions to Tax incurred), more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.22. Incremental Loans. (a) At any time prior to (i) the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower may add one or more additional tranches of incremental term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new term loan commitments to provide such Term Loans (any such new tranche or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower may add one or more additional tranches of incremental revolving facilities and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any existing Class by requesting new revolving loan commitments to provide Revolving Loans (any such new tranche or increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving

100

Loans” and any Incremental Revolving Loans, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”); provided that the Aggregate Incremental Amount does not exceed the Incremental Cap. The Borrower may invite (A) any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or (B) any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have a right to consent to any Person becoming an Incremental Lender pursuant to clause (B) above (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such consent would be required under Section 12.07(a)(i)(B). Any existing Lender offered or approached to provide a portion of the Incremental Commitments or any Incremental Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a portion of the Incremental Commitments or any Incremental Loans and any existing Lender may elect to provide Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loan without the consent of any other Lender.

(b) The Incremental Facilities shall be subject to the following provisions, as applicable:

(i) subject to, and except as otherwise provided in, clause (ix) below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility;

(ii) solely in the case of an Incremental Facility that is being incurred pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Incremental Cap,” the Administrative Agent shall have received reasonable supporting detail (including a reconciliation of consolidated net income on a GAAP basis to Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA) with respect to the calculation of the applicable leverage ratio;

(iii) the Incremental Loans (A) may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and/or with respect to security with the Secured Obligations or may be unsecured (subject, if applicable, to an intercreditor agreement on customary terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (B) if secured, may not be secured by any assets other than Collateral and (C) if guaranteed, may not be guaranteed by any Person who is not a Credit Party. Any Incremental Facility that is secured on a second lien or junior lien basis to the Secured Obligations or is unsecured will be documented in a separate facility;

(iv) any Incremental Term Loans will not have (A) a maturity date earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date or (B) a shorter Average Life to maturity than the remaining Average Life to maturity of the Term Loans;

(v) any Incremental Revolving Loans will not have a maturity date earlier than the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date;

(vi) the All-in-Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the applicable Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility and the Borrower; provided, that the All-in-Yield in respect of such Incremental Term Facility shall not exceed the All-in-Yield for the Initial Term Loans as in effect on the date of such calculation, plus 0.50% per annum,

101

unless the All-in-Yield then in effect for such Initial Term Loans, is increased by an amount equal to the difference between (A) the All-in-Yield in respect of such Incremental Term Facility and (B) the All-in-Yield for each of the Initial Term Loans, less 0.50% per annum in each case;

(vii) (A) all terms (other than with respect to margin, pricing, maturity or fees) applicable to any Incremental Term Facility (other than any terms which are applicable only after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date) shall be no more favorable to the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility (taken as a whole) than to the Lenders providing the Initial Term Loans and (B) the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility (other than any terms which are applicable only after the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date) shall be no more favorable to the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility (taken as a whole) than to the Lenders providing the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments, unless, in each case, otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and, to the extent such Lender’s respective Commitments will be extended therewith, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender;

(viii) any prepayment (other than scheduled amortization payments) of Incremental Term Loans that are pari passu in right of payment and pari passu with respect to security shall be made on a pro rata basis with all Initial Term Loans (and all then-existing Additional Term Loans requiring ratable prepayment), except that the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Loans shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any prepayments on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis); and

(ix) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or in any other provision of any Credit Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other similar Investment and the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Required Revolving Lenders so agree), the availability thereof shall (x) not be subject to the requirements set forth in clause (i) above and/or (y) be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.

(c) Any Incremental Facility shall be effected pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders, which Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Agreement and any amendment to any of the other Credit Documents with the Credit Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans or Commitments increased or extended pursuant to this Section 2.22 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22, including any changes to Section 2.06(a) necessary to ensure such Incremental Term Facilities are fungible with the existing Term Facility if such facility is intended to be of the same Class as the relevant existing Term Facility.

102

(d) The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by its Board of Directors authorizing the applicable Incremental Facility) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any Incremental Facility.

(e) On the effective date of any Incremental Commitment, each Incremental Lender that has agreed to provide such Incremental Commitments shall become a Lender hereunder.

(f) On the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.08, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of and be of the same Type as and have, if applicable, the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class.

(g) To the extent the Borrower elects to implement any Incremental Revolving Facility that establishes Revolving Credit Commitments of a new Class, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on the Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any Revolving Loan, and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Loans, (2) all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders and (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Loans, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay the Revolving Loans of any Class and reduce or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to the Revolving Loans of any other Class or Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Class with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Loans of such Class or such Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

(h) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.22 that establishes Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, if applicable, such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Lender) (A)

103

participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.22) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(i) Effective on the date of each Incremental Revolving Facility, (i) the maximum amount of Letter of Credit Exposure permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower and (ii) the maximum amount of Swingline Loans permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Borrower.

(j) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or 12.06 to the contrary.

Section 2.23. Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request (x) Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments to replace all or a portion of any existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments plus any accrued interest and premium (including tender premiums) thereof, any committed but undrawn amounts, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions, costs and expenses related thereto (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments), and (y) Refinancing Term Loans to refinance all or a portion of any existing Class of Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Term Loans plus any accrued interest and premium (including tender premiums) thereof, any committed but undrawn amounts, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions, costs and expenses related thereto (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility, (ii) the date on which the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility is to become effective and (iii) whether such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities are Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans. The Borrower may seek Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) or any Additional Lender.

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility and the incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loans that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to or immediately after giving

104

effect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility or the incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans, as applicable, (ii) the terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility shall comply with Section 2.23(c) and (iii) (x) substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any such Refinancing Term Loans, 100% of the proceeds thereof shall be applied to repay the Refinanced Term Loans (including accrued interest, fees and premiums (if any) payable in connection therewith) and (y) substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately prior to such effectiveness shall be terminated, and all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with interest thereon and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid.

(c) The terms of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility Lenders and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (i) the final Maturity Date of any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Refinanced Term Loans or Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, (ii) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) the Average Life to maturity of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Average Life to maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans, (iv) the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities will rank pari passu in right of payment and/or of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, as applicable, and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Credit Party, (v) any Refinancing Term Loans that are pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and security may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment in respect of the Initial Term Loans, in each case as agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Term Loans, (vi) such Indebtedness shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral and shall be subject to customary intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount, premiums and optional prepayments applicable to the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility Lenders, (viii) the extent the terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities (other than (x) as set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) above, and (y) covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date (in each case in this clause (y), as of the date of incurrence of the relevant Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments)) shall be substantially identical to, or no more favorable to the Persons providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities than to the Persons providing the applicable Refinanced Term Loans or Replaced Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, at the time of such refinancing and (ix) in the case of any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, the definitive documentation therefor shall include provisions governing pro rata payments, repayments, borrowings, letter of credit participations and commitment reductions, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay the Revolving Loans of any Class and reduce or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to the Revolving Loans of any other Class or Revolving Credit Commitments of any other Class with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Loans of such Class or such Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

105

(d) In connection with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility pursuant to this Section 2.23, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender or Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Refinancing Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. A Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23, including any amendments necessary to establish the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility as a new Class or tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Classes or tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the refinanced and non-refinanced tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Letter of Credit Exposure or Swingline Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23. Upon effectiveness of any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23, each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Replacement Revolving Lender, and each such Replacement Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such existing Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Replacement Revolving Lender) will equal its Applicable Percentage. If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall upon the effectiveness of such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such refinancing of the Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 2.18. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 3

LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.01. Issuance. (a) [Reserved].

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuing Lender will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and upon request by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02, issue for the account of the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary one or more irrevocable commercial letters of credit or standby letters of credit, denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternate Currencies, and

106

in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (together with all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, substitutions therefor and renewals and restatements thereof, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”), amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it and honor drafts under the Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder on the Closing Date for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(i) No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Stated Amount upon issuance of which (A) when added to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders with respect to the Letters of Credit at such time, would exceed $40,000,000 or (B) when added to the sum of (1) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time, (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (3) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time;

(ii) No Letter of Credit shall be issued that by its terms expires later than the earlier of (A) the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (B) the date that is one year after its date of issuance; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, if requested by the Borrower, provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date), unless and until the Issuing Lender shall have delivered a notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the Borrower; and provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may be issued that by its terms expires after the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date if the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent cash equal to 100% of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit to be held in the Cash Collateral Account; and

(iii) The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, at the time of such proposed issuance (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to the Issuing Lender as of the Closing Date and that the Issuing Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it or (ii) the Issuing Lender shall have actual knowledge, or shall have received notice from any Lender, prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 4.01 (if applicable) or 4.02 are not then satisfied (or have not been waived in writing), or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate the provisions of this Section 3.01(c) above.

107

(iv) the Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such issuance has not been paid.

(v) the Borrower shall remain primary liable under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower herein or when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP 98—International Standby Practices shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the ICC Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits 2007 (UCP600), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(e) In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 3.02. Notices. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower will give the Issuing Lender written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than 12:00 p.m., three Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Lender in any given case) prior to the requested date of issuance thereof. Each such notice (each, a “Letter of Credit Notice”) shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-4, or such other form provided by the Issuing Lender and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and shall specify (i) the requested date of issuance, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the requested currency and Stated Amount and expiry date of the Letter of Credit and (iii) the name and address of the requested beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower, as the account party, will complete any application procedures and documents required by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement or document submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document entered into by the Borrower with the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be rendered null and void or reformed automatically, without further action by any Person, to match this Agreement, as applicable) and all representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person). Each Issuing Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative

108

Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) on or prior to (A) any issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related Reimbursement Obligation, written notice thereof (with a copy to the Borrower), which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such issuance, drawing or payment and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent and (iii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Lender through the Administrative Agent), a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the Letter of Credit Exposure for the applicable Letters of Credit then outstanding.

Section 3.03. Participations. Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied), an undivided interest and participation, pro rata (based on the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment), in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower or the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any Collateral or other security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, however, that the fees relating to Letters of Credit described in Section 2.09(d) and (e) shall be payable directly to the Issuing Lender as provided therein, and the Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion thereof. Upon any change in the Revolving Credit Commitments of any of the Lenders pursuant to Section 12.07, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section to reflect the new pro rata shares of the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee.

Section 3.04. Reimbursement. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender by making payment to the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds, for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, together with interest thereon payable as provided herein below, a “Reimbursement Obligation”) immediately after, and in any event within one Business Day after its receipt of notice of, such payment (provided that any such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed timely satisfied (but nevertheless subject to the payment of interest thereon as provided herein below) if satisfied pursuant to a Borrowing of Revolving Loans made on or prior to the next Business Day following the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such payment), together with interest on the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 p.m., on the date of such payment or disbursement, for the period from the date of the respective payment to the date the Reimbursement Obligation created thereby is satisfied, at the Adjusted Base Rate applicable to Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time during such period, such interest also to be payable on demand. The Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made under any Letter of Credit, although the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall not release, diminish or otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.

109

Section 3.05. Payment by Revolving Loans. In the event that the Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have timely satisfied in full its Reimbursement Obligation to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04, and to the extent that any amounts then held in the Cash Collateral Account established pursuant to Section 3.08 shall be insufficient to satisfy such Reimbursement Obligation in full, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender, of such failure. If the Administrative Agent gives such notice prior to 11:00 a.m., on any Business Day, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, its pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitments are then in effect and if the Revolving Credit Commitments have ceased to be in effect, then pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such cessation) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent gives such notice after 11:00 a.m., on any Business Day, each such Lender shall make its pro rata share of such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its pro rata share of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day (or (A) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate and (B) in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the Administrative Agent’s customary rate for interbank advances in the Alternate Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated) and thereafter, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency, in each case until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s pro rata share of any such payment. Each such payment by a Lender under this Section of its pro rata share of an amount paid by the Issuing Lender shall constitute a Revolving Loan by such Lender (which, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, shall be Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, LIBOR Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency) (the Borrower being deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing therefor) and shall be treated as such for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that for purposes of determining the aggregate Unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Reimbursement Obligation being satisfied thereby shall be deemed not to be outstanding at such time; provided, further, that in the event that as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower, Revolving Loans cannot be made pursuant to this Section 3.05, then any such payment by a Lender shall be deemed to be a payment in purchase of the participation granted to

110

such Lender pursuant to Section 3.03. Promptly following the Issuing Lender’s receipt of any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation in which a Lender has so purchased and paid for its participation, the Issuing Lender shall pay to such Lender that has acquired a participation therein such Lender’s ratable share of such payment.

Section 3.06. Payment to Lenders. Whenever the Issuing Lender receives a payment in respect of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received, for the account of the Issuing Lender, any payments from the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05, the Issuing Lender will promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to each Lender that has paid its pro rata share thereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on the proportionate amount funded by such Lender to the aggregate amount funded by all Lenders) of such Reimbursement Obligation.

Section 3.07. Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 3.05 to make payments to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, with respect to Letters of Credit, shall be irrevocable, shall remain in effect until the Issuing Lender shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, and, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Credit Document by the Issuing Lender, shall not be subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of Credit;

(b) Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit or any documents or instruments relating thereto, in each case whether or not the Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof;

(c) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(d) Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect (provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, telecopier or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms;

111

(e) Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit (provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(f) The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations;

(g) The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(h) Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of the Credit Documents or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding upon the Borrower and each Lender and shall not create or result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower or any Lender. Nothing contained herein shall excuse Issuing Lender for liability to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender or material breach of the Credit Documents as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

Section 3.08. Cash Collateral Account. At any time and from time to time (a) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at the direction or with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, may require the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent such amount of cash as is equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount of all Letters of Credit at any time outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (b) in the event of a prepayment under Section 2.06(d) or to the extent any amount of a required prepayment under any of Sections 2.06(e) and 2.06(g) remains after prepayment of all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and termination of the Commitments, as contemplated by Section 2.06(h), the Administrative Agent will retain such amount as may then be required to be retained, such amounts in each case under clauses (a) and (b) above to be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”). The Borrower hereby grants (or, if registration thereof is required in any applicable jurisdiction, shall grant) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for Letter of Credit Exposure, and for application to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have

112

occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability in respect of any losses or other returns in respect of any such investments), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by the Issuing Lender, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse the Issuing Lender therefor. Any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after the expiration of all Letters of Credit and reimbursement in full of the Issuing Lender for all of its obligations thereunder shall be promptly returned to the Borrower; provided that if an Event of Default is then continuing, such amounts shall not be returned to Borrower but shall be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may direct. If the Borrower is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.06, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower on demand, provided that (i) after giving effect to such return the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at such time, (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans outstanding at such time and (z) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time would not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time and (ii) no Event of Default then exists. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 3.09. Effectiveness. Notwithstanding any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or repayment of the Loans, or both, the obligations of the Borrower under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.

Section 3.10. Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.19(c).

Section 3.11. Appointment; Resignation and Removal of Issuing Lender. A Revolving Lender may be appointed as an Issuing Lender hereunder by written notice to the Administrative Agent from such Revolving Lender and the Borrower. Any Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Any Issuing Lender may be removed or replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a replacement, the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such removal or replacement of such Issuing Lender. At the time any such removal, replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the removed or replaced Issuing Lender. From and after the effective date of any such removal, replacement or resignation, (a) any successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of

113

Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the removal, replacement or resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the removed, replaced or resigned Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal, replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

128

year; provided, further, that if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice; provided, further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of copies of or taking abstracts from, or discuss any document, information, or other matter (A) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and/or any of its customers and/or suppliers, (B) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, (C) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (D) in respect of which Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary owes confidentiality obligations to any third party.

The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Swingline Loans made after the Closing Date to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents. The Borrower shall use proceeds of the Initial Term Loans solely to finance a portion of the Transactions (including the payment of costs related to the Transactions). No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, (i) for any purpose that would entail a violation of Regulation T, U or X, (ii) to any Person for the purposes of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC, except to the extent licensed or otherwise approved by OFAC or (iii) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. Letters of Credit may be issued (i) on the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business and to replace or provide credit support for any letters of credit, bank guarantees and/or surety, customs, performance or similar bonds of the Borrower and its subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates and/or to replace cash collateral posted by any of the foregoing Persons and (ii) after the Closing Date, for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents.

Section 6.09. Additional Collateral; Further Assurances.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05, any Credit Party may from time to time create or acquire new Subsidiaries, including in connection with Permitted Acquisitions or otherwise, provided that in the case of any such Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary:

(i) within the later to occur of (x) the date that is 60 days thereafter or (y) the next date a Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered following the date of such formation or acquisition (or, in either case, such later date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) of (A) the creation or direct or indirect acquisition of any new Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) or (B) the designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary), the Borrower will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (1) a joinder to this Agreement, pursuant to which such new Domestic Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and shall guarantee the payment in full of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto and (2) a joinder to the Security Agreement, pursuant to which such new Domestic Subsidiary shall become a party thereto and shall subject to the terms of the Security Agreement grant to the Administrative Agent a first priority Lien upon and security interest in its assets that constitute Collateral (other than Excluded Assets) as security for its obligations under the Guaranty, subject only to Permitted Liens, and pursuant to which all of the Capital Stock (other than Capital Stock that qualifies as Disqualified Capital Stock or Excluded Assets) of such new Domestic Subsidiary shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent and (ii) take such actions as may be required by the terms hereof or of the applicable Security Documents to grant and perfect Liens to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and each other Secured Party in any property (subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents) of such Credit Party which constitutes Collateral, on such terms as are required pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, and upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person shall automatically become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties and obligations in such capacity under the Credit Documents; and

(ii) the applicable Credit Party will deliver any such other documents, certificates and agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith and will take such other action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to create in favor of the Administrative Agent a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral being pledged pursuant to the documents described above.

(b) In the event that any Credit Party acquires Realty (other than Realty that qualifies as Excluded Assets) and such interest in such Realty has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the applicable Credit Party shall promptly (and in any event within 90 days after the acquisition thereof, or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens. The Credit Parties shall, within 90 days following a written request by the Administrative Agent (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), cause to be executed and delivered, the relevant Mortgages to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected, first-priority security interest in such Realty and, corresponding UCC fixture filings,

130

flood hazard determination forms, title insurance policies (including any customary endorsements thereto), surveys (or survey updates to the extent sufficient to obtain survey coverage under the title policy), local counsel opinions and other documentation, that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.09 or any Security Document, no Credit Party shall be required to (x) grant any Lien on, or take any other action with respect to a Lien on, any Excluded Assets or (y) take any other action or perfect any Lien as provided for in Section 2(d) of the Security Agreement.

Section 6.11. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Borrower may at any time after the Closing Date designate (or redesignate) any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Event of Default exists (including after giving effect to the reclassification of Investments in, Indebtedness of and Liens on the assets of, the applicable Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary) and (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Financial Covenant calculated on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such designation (and determined on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at or prior to such time), (iii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such Subsidiary is not similarly characterized as an unrestricted subsidiary under the Senior Notes Documents or any debt subject to a junior lien (to the extent the documentation therefor provides for the ability to designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries) and (iv) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s equity interest therein as reasonably estimated by the Borrower (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted under Section 8.05). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of designation of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that upon a redesignation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be deemed to continue to have an Investment in the resulting Restricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (a) the Borrower’s Investment in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such re designation, less (b) the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Borrower’s equity therein at the time of such re designation.

131

Section 6.12. Post-Closing Covenants. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take each of the actions set forth on Schedule 6.12 within the time period prescribed therefor on such schedule (as such time period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion exercised reasonably).

Following delivery (or, if later, required delivery) of the quarterly or annual financial statements pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, promptly following the reasonable request therefor by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will host a conference call, at a time selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with the Lenders to review the financial information presented therein.

ARTICLE 7

FINANCIAL COVENANT

Until the Termination Date has occurred, the Borrower covenants and agrees that:

Section 7.01. Financial Covenant. Commencing with the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, on the last day of each fiscal quarter on which the Revolving Facility Test Condition is then satisfied, the Borrower shall not permit the First Lien Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50:1.00.

Section 7.02. Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Section 7.01), in the event that the Borrower shall have failed to comply with the Financial Covenant for any fiscal quarter with respect to which the Revolving Credit Test Condition is satisfied, the Borrower shall have the right (collectively, the “Cure Right”), at any time during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the expiration of 15 Business Days after the date on which financial statements for such fiscal quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable (the “Cure Expiration Date”), to issue Permitted Cure Securities or other equity (such other equity to be on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) for Cash or otherwise receive Cash contributions in respect of Permitted Cure Securities, and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such Cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right, compliance with the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment (notwithstanding the absence of a corresponding addback in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA): Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant as of end of such fiscal quarter and for applicable subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter, and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount and the use of proceeds therefrom will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Credit Documents (including calculating Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels and other items governed by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, the First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio or the Total Secured Leverage Ratio).

(b) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith, except as provided in clause (c) below), the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the Financial Covenant as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement.

132

(c) There shall be no pro forma or other reduction of the amount of Indebtedness by the amount of any Cure Amount for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised (other than, with respect to any future period, to the extent of any portion of such Cure Amount that is actually applied to repay Indebtedness). The Cure Amount shall not be included for purposes of determining Unrestricted Cash for purposes of the Financial Covenant for the relevant date of determination.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall be exercised on no more than five occasions during the term of this Agreement, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenant and (iv) no Revolving Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Loans or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if a violation of the Financial Covenant has occurred and is continuing until the expiration of the 15 Business Day period during which the Borrower may exercise a Cure Right, unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender (other than the Administrative Agent in such capacity) shall exercise, or attempt to exercise, any right of setoff, banker’s lien, or the like, against any deposit account or property of the Borrower held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, and any Lender violating this provision shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders from any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and damages resulting therefrom.

THE AGENTS

Section 10.01. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA to act as administrative agent and collateral agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and to take such actions as agent on its behalf hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and to exercise such powers and trusts and to perform such duties, as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such other powers and duties as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 10.02. Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. 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 any other Person; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations or liabilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and its duties hereunder and thereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders).

Section 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents, except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of the Credit Documents, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any other Credit Document or in any written or oral statement, or in any financial or other statements, or any document, instrument, certificate, report or other writing delivered in connection herewith or

163

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to any Lender arising from confirmation of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

Section 10.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, statement, consent, instrument, document or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interest hereunder for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking or omitting to take any action in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder (a) if such action or omission or exercise of power, discretion or authority would, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, violate any applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (b) unless and until it shall have received such instructions in respect thereof from the Required Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate, and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, or it shall first have been indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than liability and expense arising from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking, continuing to take or omitting to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (including all subsequent Lenders).

164

Section 10.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of Section 10.03 and of Section 10.08 shall apply to any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities of the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of Section 10.03 and of Section 10.08 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Any sub-agent and its Affiliates shall be required to comply with Section 12.13 and all other obligations contained in this Agreement as if it were the Administrative Agent hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent (a) with respect to this Article 10 only, such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to all rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) of the Administrative Agent under this Article 10 and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary with respect to this Article 10, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders and (b) except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.05, such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

Section 10.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 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 representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any such Person hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that (a) 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, prospects, operations, properties, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the Borrower hereunder and (b) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any investigation or appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of

165

Holdings, its Subsidiaries or any other Person that may at any time, before or after the making of the Loans, come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

Section 10.07. Lenders’ Acknowledgment. (a) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliate Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding of such Additional Term Loans and Additional Revolving Loans.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that Holdings and certain Affiliates of the Credit Parties, including the Sponsor or entities controlled by the Sponsor, are Eligible Assignees hereunder and may purchase Loans and/or Commitments hereunder from Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee” and Section 12.07.

Section 10.08. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Sections 10.04 and 12.06) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders.

Section 10.09. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so, the Lenders agree (a) to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates, ratably in proportion to their respective percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the date of determination, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees or disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the repayment in full of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, and (b) to reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand, ratably in proportion to their respective percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the date of determination, for any expenses incurred

166

by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders). If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of its respective percentage as used in determining the Required Lenders thereof; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents of the party to be indemnified, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.10. The Administrative Agent In Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it, the Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it and the Note or Notes (if any) issued to it, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the agency duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “holders of Notes” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates as if the Administrative Agent were not performing the agency duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any of them for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 10.11. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ notice, remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of removal or resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within ten days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall

167

not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Borrower may, after consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a removal, the Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Lender will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided above in this Article 10. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph) other than its obligations under Section 12.13 and the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Capital Stock and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Security Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Security Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents. Any retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent that is also an Issuing Lender, automatically upon the effectiveness of such retirement or removal, be deemed to have been removed as Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 3.11, without the requirement of any consent of the Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent. If no successor to the Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the thirtieth day following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other

168

Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for hereinabove; provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its role as collateral agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring Administrative Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed.

Section 10.12. Collateral Matters. (a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time (but without any obligation) to take any action with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations.

(b) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent, to, and the Administrative Agent shall,

(i) release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (A) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (B) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document or to which, subject to Section 10.04, the Required Lenders have consented, (C) that does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral, (D) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guaranty, (E) otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Credit Document or (F) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders subject to Section 12.06(a)(i)(C),

(ii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) as a result of a single transaction or related series of transactions permitted hereunder, and

(iii) enter into any subordination, intercreditor and/or similar agreement contemplated hereunder, including with respect to Indebtedness that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens and required or permitted to be pari passu with or junior to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations, and with respect to which Indebtedness, an intercreditor, subordination or similar agreement is contemplated under this Agreement.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Credit Party from its obligations under the Guaranty

169

or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this subsection (b). In each case as specified in this Article 10, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest therein, and/or to release such Credit Party from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Article 10.

(c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, to enforce the Guaranty or take any other enforcement action hereunder or under any other Credit Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Administrative Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(e) No Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Designated Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in the Security Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Designated Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed Administrative Agent, in its capacity as collateral agent, as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (e). The benefit of the provisions of the Credit Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party

170

that is not the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article 10, and Section 12.13, and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.03 and Section 10.09 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall be such Secured Party’s pro rata share (based on the amount of Obligations owing to such Secured Party relative to the aggregate amount of Obligations) of such liabilities, costs and expenses, (ii) except as set forth specifically herein, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to act in its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (iii) except as specifically set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Credit Document.

Section 10.13. [Reserved.]

Section 10.14. Acceptance of Title. The Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral or otherwise may accept without inquiry such title as the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor may have to the assets secured pursuant to the Security Documents.

Section 10.15. No Obligation To Hold Title Deeds. The Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent or otherwise shall not be under any obligation to hold any title deed, Security Documents or any other documents in connection with the Security Documents or any other documents in connection with the assets that are the subject of any Security Document or any other such security in its own possession or to take any steps to protect or preserve the same. The Administrative Agent may permit any Person to retain all such title deeds, Security Documents and other documents in its possession. The Administrative Agent will use all reasonable care to ensure the safe custody of all such title deeds, Security Documents and other documents in its possession but shall not be liable for the damage or destruction of any such deeds, Security Documents or documents except to the extent caused by the willful default or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or any of its employees or agents. The Administrative Agent shall be at liberty to place any Security Document and any other instruments, documents or deeds delivered to it pursuant to them or in connection with them for the time being in its possession in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Administrative Agent, or with any bank, any company whose business includes undertaking the safe custody of documents or any firm of lawyers of good repute and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of the Credit Documents on the part of the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any loss thereby incurred.

Section 10.16. [Reserved.]

Section 10.17. Arrangers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the Arrangers are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their capacities as such shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 10.18. Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Obligation under a Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest and premium owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 3.04, 12.01 and 12.02, allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 12.01 and 12.02. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 12.01 and 12.02 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or the Issuing Lender may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

172

Section 10.19. Credit Bid. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or by entering into documentation in connection with any Cash Management Obligation, each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:

(a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof;

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 thereof;

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

(e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Secured Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;

it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.

Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clauses (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Secured Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent on a ratable basis.

With respect to each contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Secured Obligation, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph so long as

173

the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Secured Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition. In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

Each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations are credit bid under clauses (b), (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Secured Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition, by (y) the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTY

Section 11.01. The Guaranty. (a) In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the extensions of credit hereunder, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guaranties as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Secured Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties. If any or all of the Secured Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Secured Obligations. The guaranty of each Guarantor contained in this Article 11 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, any Debtor Relief Law).

Section 11.02. Bankruptcy. Additionally, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties the payment of any and all Secured Obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.01(f) or 9.01(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Secured

174

Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties, or order, on demand. Each Credit Party further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower or such Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or such Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

Section 11.03. Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the Borrower and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties on the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Secured Parties repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

Section 11.04. Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.

Section 11.05. Authorization. Each Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any guarantor or any other party for the payment of these Guaranties or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors.

175

Section 11.06. Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any Guarantor or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 11.07. Waiver. (a) Subject to Section 11.09, each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than if such Guarantor is released pursuant to Section 11.09 hereof, including without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than if such Guarantor is released pursuant to Section 11.09 hereof. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or a Secured Party by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Secured Party may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of these Guaranties, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which each Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of these Guaranties (whether contractual, under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Secured Parties against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the indebtedness of the Borrower owing to the Secured Parties (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of these Guaranties until such Guarantor is released pursuant to Section 11.09 hereof. Each Guarantor hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of

176

the indebtedness of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Borrower until such Guarantor is released pursuant to Section 11.09 hereunder.

Section 11.08. Limitation on Enforcement. The Secured Parties agree that these Guaranties may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce these Guaranties, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.09. Release of Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.06 to the contrary, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Guaranty shall be automatically released (a) upon the consummation of any transaction or related series of transactions permitted hereunder if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary) or (b) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 11.09 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).

Section 11.10. Keepwell. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations upon the occurrence of any event of default hereunder (provided, however, that each shall only be liable under this Section 11.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.10, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 11.10 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor intends that this Section 11.10 constitute, and this Section 11.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(ii) if to any other Lender or Issuing Lender, to it at its addresses, facsimile number or email address set forth in its administrative questionnaire;

or in each case, to such other address as any party may designate for itself by like notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been given (w) if mailed as provided above by any method other than overnight delivery service, on the fourth Business Day after deposit in the mails, (x) if mailed by overnight delivery service or facsimile transmission, when delivered for overnight delivery or transmitted by facsimile, respectively, (y) if delivered by hand, upon delivery; provided that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent under Article 2 shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or (z) if sent to an email address, upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement).

(b) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is

182

not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non-Public Information with respect to Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) (i) Notices and other communications to any Agent, Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and secured Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures set forth herein or approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Agent, any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such Person has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures other than as set forth herein, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described clause (a) above of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(ii) Each Credit Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications.

(iv) Each Credit Party, each Lender, Issuing Lender and each Agent agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies and subject to Section 12.13.

183

(v) Any notice of Default or Event of Default may be provided by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter by delivery of written notice thereof.

Section 12.06. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. (a) Subject to clause (i) of this Section 12.06(a) and no amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Credit Party from, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) unless agreed to by each of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (but without requiring the consent of the Required Lenders) no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent shall:

(A) increase any Commitment (other than with respect to any Incremental Facility pursuant to Section 2.22 in respect of which such Lender has agreed to be an Incremental Lender) or extend any Commitment (subject to Section 12.06(c)), in each case, of any Lender (it being understood that any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Event of Default, Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments, shall not constitute such an increase or extension),

(B) change (x) any provision of this Section 12.06(a) or the definition of “Required Lenders” to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder or (y) any provision of Section 12.06(a)(ii) or 12.06(b) or the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender (it being understood that neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any change to the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders”),

(C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties (in each case, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Credit Document, including pursuant to Sections 10.12 or 11.10),

(D) waive, amend or modify the provisions of (i) Section 2.15 or the definition of “Applicable Percentage” in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.22, 2.23, 12.06(c) and/or 12.07(e) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement) or (ii) Section 14 of the Security Agreement;

184

(E) reduce the rate of interest (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(b), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) or any fee payable hereunder; it being understood that no change in the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any other ratio used in the calculation of the Applicable Margin Percentage or the Commitment Fee Rate, or in the calculation of any other interest or fee due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) shall constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee hereunder,

(F) extend (i) the time for payment of any such principal or interest hereunder with respect to any Loan held by such Lender or (ii) the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or the date of any scheduled payment of any fee payable to such Lender hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and

(G) reduce the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment) of principal of any Loan,

(ii) solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (but without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other Lender), any agreement may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof as it pertains to any Revolving Loan; and

(iii) unless agreed to by the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, or the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action (including the amendment of this Section 12.06(a)(iii)), affect the respective rights or obligations of the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document:

(iv) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without the input or need to obtain the consent of any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such amendments to the Lenders,

(v) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, amend, modify or supplement Article 3 hereof pertaining to Letters of Credit to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of Issuing Lender relating to Letters of Credit and, solely with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender, waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 as it pertains to the issuance of any Letter of Credit,

185

(vi) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, amend, supplement and/or waive any guaranty, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement and/or related document (if any) executed in connection with this Agreement to (A) comply with any Requirement of Law or the advice of counsel or (B) cause any such guaranty, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and/or the relevant other Credit Documents,

(vii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) any such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that it relates to any matter that disproportionately affects any Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended or (iii) any decrease, forgiveness or postponement in the payment of principal or interest of any Loan of any Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from any vote hereunder that requires the consent of any Lender),

(viii) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion,

(ix) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender (other than the relevant Lenders (including Additional Lenders) providing Loans under such Sections), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (x) as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Sections 2.22, 2.23 or 12.06(c) through (h) (or any other provision specifying that any waiver, amendment or modification may be made with only the consent or approval of the Administrative Agent) or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 2.22(j), 2.23(d) or 12.06(g) or (y) to add terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default), in connection with the addition of any additional facility hereunder, that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent,

(x) if any amendment, modification, waiver or consent would materially adversely affect the holders of Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (the “affected Class”) relative to holders of Loans or Commitments of any other Class, then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall require the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans and unused Commitments of the affected Class, and

186

(xi) the Borrower and the Issuing Lender may, without the input or consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, amend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit or waive any rights thereunder (other than extensions of the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (but without the consent of the Required Lenders or any other Lender), any agreement may (x) waive, amend or modify Section 7.01 (or the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, in each case, as any such definition is used solely for purposes of Section 7.01) (other than, in the case of Section 7.01(a), for purposes of determining compliance with such Section as a condition to taking any action under this Agreement) and/or (y) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 as it pertains to any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit.

(c) The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.06, agree with one or more of the Lenders holding Loans of any Class to extend the Maturity Date, and otherwise modify the economic terms of any such Class or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of any Loans of such Class or any portion thereof) (each such modification an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all of the Lenders under any Class that is proposed to be extended pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.06, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class), of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans of each such Class (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for the Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. After giving effect to any Extension, the Term Loans or Revolving Loans so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder.

(d) Each Extension shall be subject to the following:

(i) no Event of Default shall exist at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension;

(ii) except (A) as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization, final maturity date and Incremental Loans under Section 2.22 (which shall, subject to clause (iii) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), and (B) any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date, the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Offer;

187

(iii) the final Maturity Date of any Term Loans or Revolving Loans of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the final Maturity Date of such Class, and the weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loans or Revolving Loans of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Class;

(iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loans of a Class in respect of which the Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Class offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Loans of such Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts thereof (not to exceed any Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders accepted such Extension Offer;

(v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing;

(vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied or waived by the Borrower; and

(vii) no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing Date being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(e) The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension may be conditioned upon a minimum amount (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $2,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) of any Loans of such Class be extended (a “Minimum Extension Condition”), as set forth in the relevant Extension Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.15 and Section 12.06(a) will not apply to Extensions of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.06, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

188

(f) No Lender who rejects any request for an Extension shall be deemed a non-consenting Lender for purposes of Section 2.20; provided, however, that if so requested by the Borrower in an Extension Offer, the Required Lenders may approve an amendment to have such Lenders be deemed non-consenting Lenders and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.20.

(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary in order establish new Classes of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 12.06 and all such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the appropriate Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (or any other Credit Document that the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect an Extension) that has a maturity date prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Extended Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(h) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.06.

Section 12.07. Assignments, Participations. (a) No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.07 (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Each Lender may assign to one or more other Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the outstanding Loans made by it, the Note or Notes held by it and its participations in Letters of Credit); provided, however, that:

(i) no assignment shall be made without the prior written consent of:

(A) the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (except (I) during the existence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.01(a), (f) or (g), (II) in the case of Term Loans, for an assignment to another Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund of a Term Lender or (III) in the case of any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, for an assignment to another Revolving Lender) (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given to any such assignment of Term Loans if the Borrower has not objected to such assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after receiving a written notice from the Administrative Agent for its consent to such assignment);

189

(B) the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be evidenced by its counter execution of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance), except for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender (provided, however, that such assignment shall not become effective until the assignee has delivered a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent in respect of such assignment and such assignment shall have been recorded in the register pursuant to Section 12.07(c) below); and

(C) in the case of an assignment of any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be evidenced by its counter execution of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance),

(ii) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to each Class of Loans, each such assignment by a Lender of any of its interests relating to Loans of a particular Class shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Commitment, Loans, Note or Notes and other interests under and with respect to such Class is assigned to the relevant Eligible Assignee,

(iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) less than (x) in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Term Loans) (provided that a series of assignments by or to any Eligible Assignee, its Affiliates and its Approved Funds on the same day shall be deemed to be one assignment for purposes of this clause (x)), (y) in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, $2,500,000 (or, if less, the entire Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Loan of the assigning Lender) or (z) in the case of Swingline Loans, the entire Swingline Commitment and the full amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and

(iv) the parties to each such assignment will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, and will pay a nonrefundable processing fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent for its own account; provided, however, that any series of assignments by or to any Eligible Assignee, its Affiliates and its Approved Funds on the same day shall be deemed to be one assignment for purposes of calculating this processing fee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the Assignment and Acceptance, from and after the effective date specified therein, (A) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender hereunder with respect thereto and (B) the assigning Lender shall, (I) to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than rights under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of fees, costs and expenses, to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the date of

190

such Assignment and Acceptance and subject to its obligations thereunder and under Section 12.13) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The terms and provisions of each Assignment and Acceptance shall, upon the effectiveness thereof, be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, and the covenants, agreements and obligations of each Lender set forth therein shall be deemed made to and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto as if set forth at length herein.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address for notices referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans and (ii) any entry relating to the Loans of Affiliated Lenders) and the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Upon its receipt of (I) a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, (II) any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (a) of this Section 12.07, (III) any surrendered Note or Notes subject to such assignment and (IV) the processing fee referred to in subsection (a) above, if applicable and not otherwise waived, the Administrative Agent will (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) on the effective date thereof, record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to the Borrower. Promptly after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, if requested by any Eligible Assignee in writing, will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to such Eligible Assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has retained any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.04 as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitments (or outstanding Term Loans) of such Eligible Assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning Lender, dated the date of the replaced Note or Notes and otherwise in substantially the form of Exhibits ▇-▇, ▇-▇ and A-3, as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and Term Loans owing to it (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan and any related Term Loan Commitments) to any Affiliated Lender on a non pro rata basis through (x) one or more Dutch Auctions (provided that (A) notice of the Dutch Auction shall be made to all Lenders of the applicable Class and (B) the Dutch Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with the

(i) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so retired and cancelled;

192

amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action that requires the vote of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be, provided, further, that no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action shall (1) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to the other Lenders of the same Class that are not Affiliated Lenders, (2) increase the Commitments or obligations of any Affiliated Lender, (3) extend the due dates for payments of interest and scheduled amortization (including at maturity) of any Term Loans owed to any Affiliated Lender, (4) reduce the amounts owing to any Affiliated Lender or (5) deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder in each case without the consent of such Affiliated Lender; or

(vi) in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or open market purchase conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loan to fund such assignment;

(vii) with respect to any votes in any proceedings under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, each Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or any other arrangement under any Debtor Relief Laws with respect to which votes are being sought proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar obligations held by the other Lenders; and

(viii) no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 12.07(d).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to an Affiliated Debt Fund, and any Affiliated Debt Fund may, from time to time, purchase Term Loans (x) on a pro rata basis through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders of the applicable Class or (y) through open market purchases without the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case, without the necessity of meeting the

requirements set forth in (or being subject to the restriction of) subclauses (i) through (viii) of this clause (d); provided that the Term Loans and unused Commitments of any Affiliated Debt Fund shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document. Any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of cancellation of such Indebtedness (it being understood that such Term Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution); provided that upon such cancellation of Indebtedness, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.

(e) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) the assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the amount of its commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to any assignment thereof which has not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) the Eligible Assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (D) the Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.11(a) or the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (E) the Eligible Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (F) the assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (G) the Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

194

(f) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Applicable Percentage of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(g) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, sell to one or more other Persons (other than to Disqualified Institutions or Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) participations in any portion comprising less than all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a portion of its Commitments, the outstanding Loans made by it, the Note or Notes held by it and its participations in Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged and such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (ii) no Lender shall sell any participation that, when taken together with all other participations, if any, sold by such Lender, covers all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and no Lender shall permit any Participant to have any voting rights or any right to control the vote of such Lender with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action hereunder or under any other Credit Document (except as to actions that would (x) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of or forgive any interest or premium thereon, or reduce or forgive any fees or other Obligations, (y) extend the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the maturity date on the Incremental Loans, the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date or any other date fixed for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any fees or any other Obligation or (z) increase or extend any commitment of any Lender), and (iv) no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, each Participant’s rights against the granting Lender in respect of any participation shall be limited to those set forth in the participation agreement (which shall not be in contravention of this Agreement), and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not granted such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant shall have the rights of a Lender for purposes of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, and 9.02, and shall be

195

entitled to the benefits thereof (it being understood that the provision of any tax forms by the Participant under Section 2.17 shall be to the participating Lender and not to the Borrower and Administrative Agent); provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any of such Sections than the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation made by such Lender to such Participant had such participation not been made.

(h) 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 Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”). 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) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its rights and interest hereunder or under any Note to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank (or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender) as security for borrowings therefrom or (ii) in the case of any portion of the Term Loans that is held by an investment fund, (A) to the trustee under the indenture to which such fund is a party in support of its obligations to the trustee for the benefit of the applicable trust beneficiaries, or (B) to any unaffiliated lender of such investment fund; provided, however, that (1) no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder and (2) in the case of the preceding clause (ii), such trustee or unaffiliated lender shall have no voting rights with respect to its interest in the Term Loans, as applicable; provided, further that no such pledge or assignment shall be made to a Disqualified Institution.

(j) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any permitted assignment, participation or pledge or proposed permitted assignment, participation or pledge pursuant to this Section, disclose to the Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee any information relating to Holdings and its Subsidiaries furnished to it by or on behalf of any other party hereto, provided that such Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or pledge agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders under Section 12.13.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, in the event of any assignment or participation made by a Lender in violation of the provisions of this Section 12.07 (including, without limitation, as a result of the making of any such assignment or the sale of any such participation (i) to a Disqualified Institution (unless the requisite consent has been obtained) or (ii) without any other required consent of the Borrower) (each such Person under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Prohibited Person”) the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Borrower at law or in equity; provided, that without prejudicing any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity, to the extent such Prohibited Person has assigned its Loans to an Eligible Assignee (which is not

196

an Affiliate of such Prohibited Person), the assignment to such Eligible Assignee shall not be retroactively disqualified and the Loans held by such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed effective for all purposes of the Credit Documents irrespective of such Prohibited Person having previously held the applicable Loan. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions provided to the Arrangers on or prior to the Closing Date, along with any additions to such list provided to the Administrative Agent made thereafter.

Section 12.08. No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of either Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between any of Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon 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 right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 12.09. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all references herein to any party shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) except as provided under Sections 8.01 and 8.15, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests, duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void) and (ii) any Eligible Assignees and Participants shall have such rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are provided for under and pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.07.

Section 12.10. Survival. All representations, warranties and agreements made by the Credit Parties in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof or thereof, the making and repayment of the Loans and the issuance and repayment of the Letters of Credit. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification including, the provisions of Sections 2.16(a) and (c), 2.17, 2.18, 10.07, 12.01 and 12.02, shall survive the payment in full of all Loans and Letters of Credit, the termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit, and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents.

Section 12.11. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

Section 12.20. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.
