Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. Such Term Loans shall include, without limitation, any increase in the principal amount of the Loans as a result of a PIK Payment.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) The initial Borrowing shall be made on written notice (or verbal notice followed by written notice within six hours of such verbal notice) given by the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the Effective Date. Each written notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Notice of Borrowing”) specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, which shall be the Effective Date, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.13, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.8, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrowers.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the Effective

-40-

Date in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender (on the one hand) and the Borrowers (on the other hand) severally agree to repay 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 Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

No later than five Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the Administrative Borrower shall make prepayments of Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.8(h) and (i) in an aggregate amount equal to (i) 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended, minus (ii) any voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and any voluntary prepayments of Second Lien Loans, other than in each case voluntary prepayments funded directly or indirectly with the proceeds of Indebtedness, minus (iii) the difference, if positive, of the amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans outstanding at the end of the prior Excess Cash Flow Period (or the beginning of the Excess Cash Flow Period in the case of the first Excess Cash Flow Period) over the amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans outstanding at the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period, minus (iv) any prepayments of Revolving Loans from such Excess Cash Flow required to be made pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date; provided that the percentage in this clause (g) shall be reduced to 50% if the Total Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 1.50:1.00 and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.75:1.00, in each case as of the last day of such fiscal year.

(h) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, the Administrative Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(i), subject to the provisions of this clause (h). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), during the continuance of an Event of Default, optional and mandatory prepayments shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(f).

(i) Notice of Prepayment. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except that any notice of prepayment in connection with the refinancing of all of the Term Loans may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing). Each such notice shall

-44-

specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.

(j) Prepayment Premium. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8 (whether optional or mandatory) shall be accompanied by a premium payable by the Administrative Borrower equal to (i) if such prepayment or payment is made after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, 2.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid and (ii) if such prepayment or payment is made after the second anniversary of the Effective Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid. All such premium payments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

(k) Compliance with Revolving Credit Agreement and First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8,

(i) no prepayments of Term Loans shall be permitted pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or required pursuant to Section 2.8(g) unless (A)(x) no Revolving Loans (including swing loans) are outstanding (other than undrawn letters of credit) and (y) the First Lien Term Loans have been repaid in full or (B) the Revolving Lenders and the First Lien Term Loan Lenders each permit the prepayment under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, respectively; and

(ii) no prepayments of Term Loans shall be required pursuant to Section 2.8(c), (d), (e) or (f) unless (A) the First Lien Term Loans have been repaid in full or (B) the First Lien Term Loan Lenders permit the prepayment under the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement;

it being understood that amounts actually applied towards the mandatory prepayment of Revolving Credit Obligations pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement or the mandatory prepayment of First Lien Term Loan Obligations pursuant to the applicable provisions of the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, in each case analogous to Section 2.8(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of this Agreement, shall reduce the amount required to be applied toward prepayments under Section 2.8(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g), as applicable, of this Agreement).

Section 2.9 Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest. All Term Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Term Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Term Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(c), as follows:

-45-

(i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, plus (B) the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan; (ii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (iii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on written demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.9(a) or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, (i) the principal balance of all Term Loans then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Term Loans pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above from time to time and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and promptly following demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

(d) PIK Election.

(i) For each Interest Period ending on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date, the Administrative Borrower may elect (an “Election”) to (i) pay interest on the entire principal amount in cash, (ii) pay interest on the entire principal amount by adding such interest to such principal amount (a “Full PIK Payment”) or (iii) pay interest on 50% of the principal amount in cash and pay interest on the remaining portion of the principal amount by adding such interest to such principal amount (a “Partial PIK Payment”; and, together with a Full PIK Payment, “PIK Payments”); provided that the Applicable Margin otherwise applicable to the Term Loans will be increased by 0.75% per annum solely with respect to such portion that is not paid in cash during such Interest Period. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of Term Loans refers to the face amount of the Term Loans and not

-46-

gross proceeds funded and includes any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans as a result of a PIK Payment.

(ii) The Administrative Borrower shall make an Election by providing notice to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period (other than for the initial Interest Period, for which the Administrative Borrower shall have made a Full PIK Payment Election and shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent three Business Days prior to the Effective Date). The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Lenders. If an Election is not made by the Administrative Borrower in a timely fashion or at all with respect to the method of payment of interest for an Interest Period, interest for such Interest Period shall be payable in cash.

Section 2.10 Conversion/Continuation Option.

(a) The Administrative Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that (x) on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date, all Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall have the same Interest Period and (y) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Term Loans of each Lender in accordance with each applicable Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and Type of Term Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into Eurodollar Rate Loans, would violate or otherwise not be permitted under any of the provisions of Section 2.13. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Administrative Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Term Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Term Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

-47-

Section 2.11 Fees.

The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in a separate fee letter entered into between or among such parties.

Section 2.12 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment of Term Loans hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.8 in immediately available funds without deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.12, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13(c), Section 2.13(e), Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of all other interest and all fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent,

-48-

each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(f) (and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Term Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable, and third, as the Administrative Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(f) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (e) above, the Administrative Agent may, and shall upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any cash collateral account in the following order (after first paying all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the performance of its duties and in the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including all allocated costs of internal counsel) and other professional fees, court costs and other amounts in respect of expense reimbursement and indemnities then due the Administrative Agent in connection therewith):

(i) first, ratably, pay any advances, fees, indemnities, expense reimbursements or other liabilities then due and owing to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay any expense reimbursements then due and owing to the Lenders from the Borrowers to the extent such obligations are secured by the Collateral, ratably;

(iii) third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Term Loans to the extent such obligations are secured by the Collateral, ratably;

(iv) fourth, to prepay principal on the Term Loans to the extent such obligations are secured by the Collateral, ratably;

-49-

(v) fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due and owing to the Agent or any Lender that are secured by the Collateral; and

(vi) sixth, to the applicable Loan Party or as the Administrative Borrower shall direct.

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses (i) through (vi), the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of this clause (f) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of all Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by any Borrower or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of this clause (f) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to all Lenders. Each Lender and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees to the relative rights, priorities and agreements of the First Lien Term Loan Secured Parties, the Revolving Credit Secured Parties and the Secured Parties, as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including as set forth in this Section 2.12 and Section 10.22.

Section 2.13 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding on the Borrowers.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that: (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than (i) any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate and (ii) any change in the rate

-50-

of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or lending office is located) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender delivered to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Administrative Borrower shall immediately convert each such Term Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.13(d) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Administrative Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.9, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand made to the Administrative Borrower, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrowers but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Term Loans) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Administrative Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is repaid or converted into a Base Rate Loan on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 2.13(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Admin-

-51-

istrative Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Capital Adequacy.

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the Effective Date regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation, or order, or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon written demand from time to time by such Lender made to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted or withheld from or in respect of any sum paid under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all interest, penalties and other liabilities with respect thereto, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and

-52-

Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor to the Administrative Borrower. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any amounts incurred in any fiscal year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six (6) months from the end of such fiscal year; provided further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such six (6) month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Administrative Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.15 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the Effective Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States federal withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower with two completed originals of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) (or any successor form); (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) (or any successor form); (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form; or (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from United States federal withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States federal withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable

-53-

Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate (which amounts may be grossed up pursuant to clause (a) if applicable).

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) at the Administrative Borrower’s expense to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.16 Substitution of Lenders.

In the event that (a) (i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, or (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(d), or (iii) the Borrowers are required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.15 that is attributable to any Lender, or (iv) any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, and (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Term Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Administrative Borrower may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (a)) by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Administrative Borrower intends to make such substitution, which substitute financial institution must be an Eligible Assignee and, if not a Lender, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Administrative Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Administrative Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Administrative Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Administrative Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. In the event that the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.16, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase at par, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of the Term Loan Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (which, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrowers to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement holding Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Term

-54-

Each of the Borrowers agrees that, if, pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Administrative Borrower shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Borrower to become an additional Subsidiary Borrower, or if for any reason the Administrative Borrower desires any such Subsidiary to become an additional Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a Credit Agreement Supplement and (ii) a joinder agreement to any applicable Collateral Document shall thereafter for all purposes be a party to this Agreement and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Borrower on the Effective Date.

Section 6.16 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Administrative Borrower to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (ii) the Subsidiary to be so designated:

(a) does not own any Stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold any Lien on any property of, the Administrative Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary or is not otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to be a Restricted Subsidiary, a Borrower or a Guarantor;

(b) has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness:

(1) as to which neither the Administrative Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (A) provides credit support of any kind (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument that would constitute Indebtedness), (B) is directly or indirectly liable as a guarantor or otherwise, or (C) constitutes the lender; provided, however, that the designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Administrative Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the date of such designation and the Administrative Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.2(i), make an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time on or following the date such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 6.16; and

(2) no default with respect to which (including any rights that the holders thereof may have to take enforcement action against an Unrestricted Subsidiary)

-81-

would permit upon notice, lapse of time or both any holder of any other Indebtedness (other than any guarantee permitted by the proviso to the preceding clause (1)) of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity;

(c) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Administrative Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Administrative Borrower unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Administrative Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Administrative Borrower;

(d) is a Person with respect to which neither the Administrative Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (1) to subscribe for additional Stock or (2) to maintain or preserve such Person’s financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results;

(e) has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(f) has at least one director on its board of directors that is not a director or executive officer of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and has at least one executive officer that is not a director or executive officer of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Upon designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this covenant, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be automatically released from the Guaranty previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary and, if such Restricted Subsidiary is a Borrower, shall be automatically released from the Loan Documents (but the pledge and grant of security interest in the Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be released upon such designation). The Administrative Agent (or any other representative holding security in Collateral) will, at the Administrative Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Administrative Borrower such documents as the Administrative Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such release.

The Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and the provisions of Section 6.13 shall be applicable to such newly-designated Restricted Subsidiary.

(a) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the preceding provisions; and

(b) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation.

The Administrative Borrower shall not enter into, or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to enter into, any transaction with an Unrestricted Subsidiary that, if in effect at the time of designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, would be inconsistent with the above restrictions as to designation of Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges that the Lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 9.5 Indemnification.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,

-105-

agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates, and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s, Affiliates’, directors’, officers’, employees’, agents’ or advisors’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers or another Loan Party.

Section 9.6 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article IX as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. by Lenders.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of any amendment, by the Borrowers, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender affected thereby, in addition to the Requisite Lenders, do any of the following:

(i) increase the Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan of such Lender;

(ii) reduce the then scheduled final maturity of any Term Loan owing to such Lender;

(iii) reduce the principal amount of any Term Loan owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof);

(iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Term Loan outstanding to such Lender or any fee payable hereunder to such Lender (other than waiver of default interest or as a result of a waiver of a Default or Event of Default);

(v) postpone any scheduled date fixed for payment of such interest or fees owing to such Lender;

(vi) change the aggregate Ratable Portions of Lenders required for any or all Lenders to take any action hereunder;

(vii) release any Borrower from its payment obligation to such Lender under this Agreement or the Term Loan Notes owing to such Lender (if any), release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except in connection with sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary Borrower or a Guarantor (or all or substantially all of the assets thereof) or as otherwise specifically provided herein or release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents; or

(viii) amend Section 2.12(e), Section 2.12(f), this Section 10.1 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” (except as set forth in Section 10.1(d));

and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

-107-

(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 10.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Administrative Borrower’s request, each other Lender shall have a right to purchase its pro rata share of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Term Loans, and if such Lenders do not purchase all of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Term Loans, an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Term Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto and all other amounts through the date of sale, provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall not be effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Term Loan Note (if the assigning Lender’s Term Loans are evidenced by a Term Loan Note) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid. The Administrative Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.8(j).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), provisions of this Section 10.1 of this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Requisite Lenders.

-108-

Section 10.2 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, except, (A) with the consent of the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, and (ii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Term Loan Note (if the assigning Lender’s Term Loans are evidenced by a Term Loan Note) subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, and, other than in respect of assignment made pursuant to Section 2.16 and Section 10.1(c), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment/assumption fee in the amount of $3,500 (with only one such fee payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more separate Approved Funds), then from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance or assumed by such assuming party pursuant to such Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender and (ii) the assignor under an Assignment and Acceptance shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Term Loan Commitments of and principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

-109-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (b) above, the Term Loans (including the Term Loan Notes evidencing such Term Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Term Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Term Loan Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Term Loan, and in no event is any such Term Loan Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 10.2 shall be construed so that the Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code or such regulations. Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall act as the Borrowers’ agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in the Register.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or an Assumption Agreement executed by the Administrative Borrower and a Lender or an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance, give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers at their own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Term Loan Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Term Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement and, if the assigning Lender, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance, has surrendered any Term Loan Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Term Loans hereunder, new Term Loan Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Term Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Term Loan Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Term Loan Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit C.

(f) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 10.2, each Lender may collaterally assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Term Loans), to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or (y) in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any holders of obligations owed or Securities issued by such Lender as security for such obligations or Securities or any trustee for, or other representative of, such holders, and this Section 10.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may

-110-

have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, and (z) the Borrowers, 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. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and accrued and unpaid interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans held by it (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 Term Loan or other obligation hereunder and as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Section 2.15 and of Section 2.13(c) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.13(c) to the participant in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Borrowers would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold unless the sale of the participation is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent or the right to a greater payment results from a change in law (including any statute, treaty or regulation) after such participant becomes a participant.

Section 10.3 Costs and Expenses.

(a) The Borrowers agree within 10 days of written demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, after receipt of invoice documentation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s external counsel, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, financial advisors and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Article III), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith or the making of the Term Loans hereunder, (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Term Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder

-111-

and under the other Loan Documents, (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Administrative Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Administrative Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or (vii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.

(b) The Borrowers further agree to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders within 10 days of written demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lenders in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Administrative Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

Section 10.4 Indemnities.

(a) The Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, the Disclosure Documents, the Term Loan Notes or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Term Loans or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation under this Section 10.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to

-112-

any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnified Matters include (i) all liabilities and costs arising under any Environmental Law relating to or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) as amended and applicable state property transfer laws, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful action of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.4 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, any of its directors, securityholders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided that to the extent no conflict exists, the Loan Parties shall only be obligated to reimburse fees and expenses of one legal counsel for all Indemnified Persons in each relevant jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action and the Administrative Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Administrative Borrower’s choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Administrative Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Administrative Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrowers’ obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d) The Borrowers agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 10.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the

-113-

benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.5 Limitation of Liability.

The Borrowers agree that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s (or its officer’s, agent’s, consultant’s, director’s or employee’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to ▇▇▇ upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 10.6 Right of Set-off.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to the extent such Obligations are matured or are owed to a branch office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 10.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Term Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 10.3 or Section 10.4 (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Term Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

-114-

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation 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.

(c) The Borrowers agree that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 10.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

Each Loan Party acknowledges 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.

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 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 PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

-120-

(e) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 10.20 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement the Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a Consolidated basis to the same extent possible as if they were merged into a single corporate entity and that this Agreement reflects the establishment of credit facilities which would not otherwise be available to such Borrower if each Borrower were not jointly and severally liable for payment of the Obligations; (ii) it has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of each Lender hereunder and a desire of the Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to each Lender this Agreement; and (iv) the Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender from any Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Term Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder (all such extensions of credit being, collectively, “Extensions of Credit”) or the amount of such Extensions of Credit received by any Borrower or the manner in which the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Extensions of Credit on its books and records (without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall be liable for Extensions of Credit made to each other Borrower). Each Borrower’s Obligation with respect to Extensions of Credit made to it, and each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to Extensions of Credit made to another Borrower hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Extensions of Credit made to another Borrower hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations if any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceedings instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code,

-121-

(vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower (other than the indefeasible payment of the Obligations). With respect to each Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Extensions of Credit made to any Borrower hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right to subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any other Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender.

(d) Each Borrower agrees if such Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder, or if any Liens securing such joint and several liability, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, such joint and several liability and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause such joint and several liability or such Lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and such joint and several liability and such Lien shall be deemed to have been automatically amended accordingly at all relevant times.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against a Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(f) The Borrowers are obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Extensions of Credit made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (i) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the

-122-

UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 10.20 shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

Section 10.21 Administrative Borrower.

Each of the other Borrowers appoints the Administrative Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgement, consent, direction, certificate or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Administrative Borrower, whether or not any of the other Borrowers joins therein.

Section 10.22 Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions thereof. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that it shall not take any action that is prohibited by or inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees that the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Agreement and each other Loan Document are subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liens and security interests securing the Indebtedness and other obligations incurred or arising under or evidenced by this instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby with respect to such liens are subordinate, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Intercreditor Agreement, to the Liens and security interests securing the First Lien Term Loan Obligations and Revolving Credit Obligations and to the Liens and security interests securing Indebtedness refinancing the First Lien Term Loan Obligations and Revolving Credit Obligations as permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement; and each holder of the Obligations, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The delivery of any Collateral (as defined in any Loan Document) or any certificates, titles, Instruments, Chattel Paper or Documents evidencing or in connection with such Collateral to any First Priority Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under and in accordance with the First Priority Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) the granting of “control” over Collateral, the execution and delivery of control agreements and/or the assignment of any Collateral (as defined in any Loan Document) to any First Priority Agent under and in accordance with the Revolving Credit Loan Documents and the First Lien Term Loan Documents, as applicable, shall constitute compliance by the Loan Parties with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which require delivery, possession, control and/or assignment of certain types of Collateral (as defined in any Loan Document) by the Administrative

-123-

Agent or delivery of control agreements to the Administrative Agent so long as such First Priority Documents are in full force and effect, the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not occurred, and the Loan Parties are in compliance with the applicable provisions thereof with respect to such Collateral. Capitalized terms used in this clause (b) not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings provided in the UCC.
