PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

A. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended, and have agreed to extend, credit to the Borrower.

B. Parent, the Borrower and the Lenders party hereto desire that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended through amending and restating the Credit Agreement in its entirety.

C. Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are party to one or more of the Security Documents, pursuant to which, among other things, Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors Guaranteed the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and provided security therefor.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. (a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including the Preliminary Statement hereto) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below). The provisions of Section 1.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. This Amendment shall be a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) The amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement described in Section 2 hereof, the reduction of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the termination of the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments described in Sections 3 and 4 hereof and the payment of fees and expenses with respect to the foregoing, in each case on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (as defined below), are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

SECTION 2. Amendment and Restatement of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, effective as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date (as defined below):

(a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement set forth on Annex I hereto (the Credit Agreement as so amended and restated is referred to herein as the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

(b) All exhibits to the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in the forms attached hereto.

(c) Schedules 1.01(b), 1.01(c), 1.01(d), 1.01(f), 1.01(g), 2.01, 3.08, 3.18, 3.19(a), 3.19(c) and 3.21 to the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in the forms attached hereto.

SECTION 3. Extended Revolving Credit Commitment Reduction. Upon the ABL Credit Facility Effective Date (as defined in the Engagement Letter (as defined below)), and without any further action of any party hereto, the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the ABL Credit Facility Effective Date (as defined in the Engagement Letter (as defined below)) will be reduced to $425,000,000 in the aggregate with such reduction applied on a ratable basis among the Extended Revolving Credit Lenders. Schedule I attached hereto reflects such reduction in the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

SECTION 4. Termination of Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and without any further action of any party hereto, any outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lenders shall be repaid in full and the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to this Amendment shall be terminated.

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of Parent, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each of the Lenders party hereto, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Collateral Agent that, after giving effect to this Amendment and the Transactions contemplated hereby:

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct (i) in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (ii) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were so true and correct as of such earlier date (it being understood and agreed that for the purposes of the representation

and warranty made in Section 3.22 (x) the Transactions (as defined in this Amendment) shall be deemed to be the Subject Transactions and (y) the representation and warranty shall be made as if the reduction of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments described in Section 3 hereof had taken place on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date).

(b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) None of the Security Documents in effect on the Fourth Restatement Effective Date will be rendered invalid, non-binding or unenforceable against any Loan Party as a result of this Amendment. The Guarantees created under such Security Documents will continue to guarantee the Obligations to the same extent as they guaranteed the Obligations immediately prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date. The Liens created under such Security Documents will continue to secure the Obligations, and will continue to be perfected, in each case, to the same extent as they secured the Obligations or were perfected immediately prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 6. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on and as of the date on which each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied (such date, the “Fourth Restatement Effective Date”):

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have received duly executed and delivered counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of Parent, the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Required Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Fourth Restatement Effective Date and signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, confirming compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as if the Transactions were a Credit Event.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have received (i) for the account of each Term Lender party to this Amendment, an amendment fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans held by such Term Lender as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, (ii) the fees due and payable under the Engagement Letter dated as of February 9, 2018, among Parent, the Borrower and each of the Joint Lead Arrangers party thereto (the “Engagement Letter”) in connection with this Amendment including an arrangement fee in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 to be allocated among the Extended Revolving Credit Lenders based on their respective Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether drawn or undrawn) as of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date and (iii) all other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower hereunder, under the Engagement Letter or under any other Loan Document.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein.

Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 12. No Novation. This Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Amendment or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any Loan Party under any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder.

to such Permitted Acquisition, acquisition, Significant Asset Sale, Transaction or Spinout Transaction (and any related repayment of Indebtedness) (including, without duplication, (a) all pro forma adjustments permitted or required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (b) pro forma adjustments for designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (a “Subsidiary Designation”), and (c) pro forma adjustments for cost savings and synergies (net of continuing associated expenses) to the extent such cost savings and synergies are reasonably identifiable, reasonably supportable, are expected to have a continuing impact and have been realized or are reasonably expected to be realized within 12 months following any such Permitted Acquisition or acquisition (which cost savings and synergies shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as though they had been realized on the first day of such period); provided that at the election of Parent, such pro forma adjustment shall not be required to be determined for any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition if the aggregate consideration paid in connection with such acquisition is less than $100,000,000; provided further that all such adjustments shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of Parent), assuming, for purposes of making such calculations, such Permitted Acquisition, Subsidiary Designation, acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 6.04, Significant Asset Sale or Spinout Transaction (and related repayment of Indebtedness), and any other Permitted Acquisitions, Significant Asset Sales and Spinout Transactions (and related repayment of Indebtedness) that have been consummated during the period, had been consummated on the first day of such period; provided, further, that the aggregate amount added to or included in Consolidated EBITDA above in respect of synergies for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of Consolidated EBITDA, calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with this Section 1.03 after giving effect to such addition and any other prior additions in respect of such period pursuant to this Section 1.03. In addition, solely for purposes of determining whether a Specified Transaction is permitted hereunder (including whether such Specified Transaction would result in a Default or Event of Default and whether the Secured Net Leverage Ratio Condition would be met), the Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as provided in the preceding sentence.

SECTION 1.04. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing”).

SECTION 1.05. Excluded Swap Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Guarantee by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Obligation that, as to such Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation and no Collateral provided by any Loan Party shall secure any Obligation that, as to such Loan Party, is an Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made by, or any collection is realized from, any Loan Party as to which any Obligations are Excluded Swap Obligations, or from any Collateral

provided by such Loan Party, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Loan Party as otherwise provided herein without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide.

(b) The following terms shall for purposes of this Section 1.05 have the meanings set forth below:

“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute.

“Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, the Guarantee by such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the Guarantee of such Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such related Swap Obligation.

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder at the time such Swap Obligation is incurred (including as a result of any agreement in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Guarantee or other support agreement in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor by the Borrower or another person that constitutes an “eligible contract participant”).

“Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments.

(a) Term Loans. The Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge the making of 2019 Term G Loans and 2021 Term H Loans pursuant to the Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement dated as of May 18, 2015. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) The Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time after the Third Restatement Effective Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(c) The Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City

as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees 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 Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall not repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount within three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and (c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C

Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a 2019 Term G Borrowing, a 2021 Term H Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee”) equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit the standard fronting, issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”); provided that each such fronting fee charged from time to time shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit. All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such defaulted amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan of the applicable Class plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date 10 Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $3,000,000, and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of

termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing of any Loans maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings comprised of 2019 Term G Loans, 2021 Term H Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings comprised of 2019 Term G Loans, 2021 Term H Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date; and

(viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, then, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 2019 Term G Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of September 2015 (each such date being called a “2019 Term G Loan Repayment Date”), or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, a principal amount of the 2019 Term G Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(g) and 2.24(d)) equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Term G Loans outstanding on the effective date of the Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement dated as of May 18, 2015, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment, with the balance payable in full on the 2019 Term G Maturity Date.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 2021 Term H Lenders, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of September 2015 (each such date being called a “2021 Term H Loan Repayment Date”), or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, a principal amount of the 2021 Term H Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(g) and 2.24(d)) equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Term H Loans outstanding on the effective date of the Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement dated as of May 18, 2015, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment, with the balance payable in full on the 2021 Term H Maturity Date.

(iii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Term Lenders in respect of Incremental Term Loans incurred after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(g) and 2.24(d)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all 2019 Term G Loans shall be due and payable on the 2019 Term G Maturity Date, (ii) all 2021 Term H Loans shall be due and payable on the 2021 Term H Maturity Date and (iii) all Other Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(c) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

(b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, and if no such direction is provided, pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans to be prepaid under Section 2.11.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings and, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Not later than the fifth Business Day after the receipt of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in respect of Asset Sales in excess of $50,000,000 after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, sales of Receivables in a Permitted Receivables Transaction), the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds in excess of such $50,000,000 so received (and not yet used to prepay Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13(b)) to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g); provided that the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Other Senior Secured Debt to the extent any applicable credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing such Other Senior Secured Debt requires the Borrower to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Other Senior Secured Debt with the proceeds of such Asset Sale, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (A) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Other Senior Secured Debt and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Other Senior Secured Debt and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(c) No later than 95 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended, minus (y) Voluntary Prepayments made during such fiscal year; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 50% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was less than 4.00 to 1.00 but equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and such percentage shall be reduced to 25% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was less than 3.00 to 1.00.

(d) In the event that Parent or any of its subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by Parent or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g).

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Lender may elect, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice regarding such prepayment (or, if different, at the time and in the manner otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in such notice of prepayment), to decline all (but not less than all) of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”). To the extent Term Lenders elect to decline their pro rata shares of such Declined Proceeds, such remaining Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower.

(g) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata among the 2019 Term G Loans, the 2021 Term H Loans and the Other Term Loans and first applied in order of maturity of the scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the 2019 Term G Loans, the 2021 Term H Loans and the Other Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) for the first eight installments following such mandatory prepayment (commencing with the first such scheduled installment pursuant to Sections 2.11(a)(i), (ii) and (iii)) and, if applicable, thereafter applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the 2019 Term G Loans, the 2021 Term H Loans and the Other Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), respectively. The amount of any mandatory prepayment in respect of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied first to Term Loans of such Class that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans of such Class that are Eurodollar Loans, in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13(g), the proceeds of any Pari Passu Debt shall not be required to be applied to prepay the 2021 Term H Loans until the 2019 Term G Loans have been repaid in full and until such time any such

proceeds shall be allocated to the payment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g) as if no 2021 Term H Loans were outstanding. From and after the time that the 2019 Term G Loans are no longer outstanding, the proceeds of any Pari Passu Debt shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.13(g) without giving effect to the prior sentence of this Section 2.13(g).

(h) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13(b), (c) or (d), as applicable, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least two days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment (which interest amounts shall reduce the amount of Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to prepay the Loans).

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or

liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but not against any lost profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.13(f) or 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been

terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (excluding means expressly contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower and Parent expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower and Parent to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct or withhold any Tax from such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to so indemnify any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in respect of interest or penalties attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent that such interest or penalties resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or

such Lender or the Issuing Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax (including U.S. federal backup withholding Tax) under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

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

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;

provided that this paragraph (f) shall not create any additional obligation of the Borrower hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any Loan Modification Offer, and such Loan Modification Offer is consented to by Lenders holding a majority in interest of the Affected Class or (vi) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv), (v) or (vi) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification or in respect of which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) or (v) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, any Fees not required to be paid to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement) and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided, further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for

compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of the Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitment remains in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23 or

elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable L/C Exposure, and (ii) if agreed to between the Borrower and any Issuing Bank in writing, the obligation of such Issuing Bank (and its Affiliates) to issue, extend or renew any Letters of Credit under this Agreement may be terminated (in whole or in part) as provided therein.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, effective upon the Fourth Restatement Effective Date. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing

Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day after the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower thereof.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon the

acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Other Senior Secured Debt, the treatment and application of any amounts provided by the Borrower as cash collateral hereunder shall be subject to the terms and provisions of any applicable Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this paragraph (j), the terms of such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.

SECTION 2.24. Incremental Term Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders, which may include any existing Lender; provided that each Incremental Term Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder or Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective, and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional 2021 Term H Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the 2021 Term H Loans, including Other Term A Loans (“Other Term Loans”).

(b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans (other than any Other Term A Loans) shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date in effect at the time the Incremental Term Loan Commitments with respect to such Other Term Loans become effective (or, in the case of Other Term Loans all of the proceeds of which will be used to repay existing Term Loans (other than Other Term A Loans), the latest maturity date of such refinanced Term Loans), (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Term Loans (other than any Other Term A Loans) shall be no shorter than the then remaining average life to maturity of any other Class of Loans (or, in the case of Other Term Loans all of the proceeds of which will be used to repay existing Term Loans (other than Other Term A Loans), the then remaining average life to maturity of such refinanced Term Loans) and (iii) if the initial yield (excluding upfront or arrangement or similar fees payable to the arranger, if any, of such loan) on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Term Loans (the “Other Term

Loan Margin”) (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same (as opposed to the arranger, if any, thereof) receive a fee directly or indirectly from Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points the sum of (1) the margin applicable for Eurodollar Term Loans of any Class (other than Other Term A Loans and any other Class of Term Loans that does not elect to be subject to this clause (iii) in its Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Loan Modification Agreement) (which margin shall be the sum of the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Term Loans of such Class (determined, solely for purposes of this Section 2.24, by reference to the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, as and to the extent applicable, in each case calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any Specified Transaction to which such Other Term Loans relate and any Indebtedness incurred or expected to be incurred in connection therewith) (such margin, the “Other Term Loan Reference Margin”) increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Eurodollar Term Loans on such date would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus (2) the OID (if any) initially paid in respect of such Term Loans (for any Class of Term Loans, the applicable amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) then (I) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for such Class of Term Loans shall automatically be increased to the Other Term Loan Reference Margin plus the applicable Yield Differential (or, in the case of that portion, if any, of the Yield Differential resulting from the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans being greater than that applicable to such Class of Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made, by first increasing or (if no “LIBOR floor” is applicable to such Class of Term Loans at such time) by adding a “LIBOR floor” with respect to such portion of the Yield Differential), (II) each interest rate margin with respect to such Class of Term Loans set forth in the definition of Applicable Percentage shall be increased by the Yield Differential (or, in the case of that portion, if any, of the Yield Differential resulting from the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans being greater than that applicable to such Class of Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made, by first increasing or (if no “LIBOR floor” is applicable to such Class of Term Loans at such time) by adding a “LIBOR floor” with respect to such portion of the Yield Differential) and (III) the Applicable Percentage for such Class of Term Loans will thereafter be determined in accordance with the definition of Applicable Percentage as so amended and by reference to the Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Leverage Ratio, as the case may be and to the extent applicable; provided that in the event that the Applicable Percentage with respect to any such Class of Term Loans would be subject to any decrease as a result of any change in the Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Leverage Ratio, as the case may be and to the extent applicable, the amount of any such decrease in the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Class of Term Loans shall not exceed the amount of any

corresponding decrease, if any, in the Other Term Loan Margin as a result of such changes in the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be and to the extent applicable, in each case effective upon the incurrence of such Other Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the applicable conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 of the Original Credit Agreement.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding 2021 Term H Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar 2021 Term H Term Loan Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Term Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar 2021 Term H Loan Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans to ABR Term Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(iii) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

SECTION 2.25. Loan Modification Offers; Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall

become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the First Restatement Effective Date under the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

(c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the final maturity date and/or amortization applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a change in the Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in the Fees payable to (or the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to) the Accepting Lenders, (iv) changes to any prepayment premiums with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments, (v) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom and (vi) additional amendments to the terms of this Agreement applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders that are less favorable to such Accepting Lenders than the terms of this Agreement prior to giving effect to such Permitted Amendments and that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, if any such Permitted Amendment shall create a new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new “Class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Revolving Credit Lenders and (B) the L/C Commitment may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank; provided, further, that in the case of any Loan

Modification Offer with respect to the 2019 Term G Loans, if the yield (excluding arrangement or similar fees payable to the arranger, if any, of such Loan Modification Offer) on such 2019 Term G Loans (such 2019 Term G Loans as modified by such Loan Modification Offer, the “Modified 2019 Term G Loans”) (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Modified 2019 Term G Loans (the “Modified Term G Loan Margin”) (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Modified 2019 Term G Loans on the date such Loan Modification Offer is effective would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if Lenders holding such Modified 2019 Term G Loans receive a fee (with any original issue discount being treated in the same manner as a fee for purposes of this proviso) directly or indirectly from Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for accepting such Loan Modification Offer (the amount of such fee, expressed as a percentage of the Modified 2019 Term G Loans, being referred to herein as “Term G Extension Fee”), the amount of such Term G Extension Fee divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Modified 2019 Term G Loans and (B) four) exceeds the sum of (1) the margin applicable for 2021 Term H Loans (which, for purposes of this proviso, shall include 2021 Term H Loans as modified by the same or any related Loan Modification Offer) (which margin shall be the sum of the Applicable Percentage for 2021 Term H Loans (such margin, the “Term H Loan Reference Margin”) increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such 2021 Term H Loans on such date would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus (2) if Lenders holding such 2021 Term H Loans receive a fee directly or indirectly from Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the same or any related Loan Modification Offer (excluding arrangement or similar fees payable to the arranger, if any, of any such Loan Modification Offer) (the amount of such fee, expressed as a percentage of the 2021 Term H Loans, being referred to herein as “Term H Extension Fee”), the amount of such Term H Extension Fee divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such 2021 Term H Loans and (B) four (the amount of such excess being referred to herein as the “Modified Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Percentage then in effect for such 2021 Term H Loans shall automatically be increased by the Modified Yield Differential (or, in the case of that portion, if any, of the Modified Yield Differential resulting from the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Modified Term G Loans being greater than that applicable to such 2021 Term H Loans on the date such Loan Modification Offer becomes effective, by first increasing or (if no “LIBOR floor” is applicable to such 2021 Term H Loans at such time) by adding a “LIBOR floor” with respect to such portion of the Modified Yield Differential).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to effect the refinancing of all the Revolving Credit Commitments with a replacement facility under this Agreement (a “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility”); provided that (a) the aggregate amount of commitments under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the replaced Revolving Credit Commitments and (b) the maturity date of such

Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not be earlier than the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date at the time of such replacement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility evidenced thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the First Restatement Effective Date under the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to continue to issue Letters of Credit, respectively, under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility except to the extent it agrees in writing to do so at or prior to the effectiveness of the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the initial Replacement Revolving Credit Facility is in an aggregate principal amount less than the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments being replaced, this Agreement may be further amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant additional commitments under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (and subject to the same limitations and requirements provided above in this paragraph (d)) to include additional commitments under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility that will not cause the aggregate amount of the commitments thereunder to exceed the aggregate amount of the replaced Revolving Credit Commitments.

SECTION 2.26. Revolving Credit Commitment Increases. (a) The Borrower may from time to time, by written notice (a “Notice of Increase”) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders), request that new Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class be extended or existing Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class be increased by one or more financial institutions, which may include any Revolving Credit Lender (any such financial institution, an “Increasing Revolving Credit Lender”) (any such extension or increase, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) the terms of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be identical to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class, except for any upfront fees paid to Increasing Revolving Credit Lenders; (ii) at the time of effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.26(a) the amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall not exceed the Incremental Amount; (iii) each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.26(a); (iv) prior to any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Revolving Accession Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 of the Original Credit Agreement and (v) at the time of each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase request and immediately after giving effect to the effectiveness of each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase,

the applicable conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received certificates to that effect dated such dates and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower. Such Notice of Increase shall set forth the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is requested to become effective. The Borrower may arrange for one or more Revolving Credit Lenders or one or more other financial institutions to act as Increasing Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; provided that each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a “Revolving Accession Agreement”). Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall become effective on the date specified in the Notice of Increase delivered pursuant to this paragraph (but not prior to, for any Increasing Revolving Credit Lender that is not already a Revolving Credit Lender, execution and delivery by such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender of a Revolving Accession Agreement). Upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Revolving Credit Lender is a party, such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges, and subject to all obligations, of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, this Agreement may be amended (such amendment, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Amendment”) without the consent of any Lender to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase evidenced thereby. Upon the effectiveness of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.26, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and each such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Increasing Revolving Credit Lender) will equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) if, on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.12.

(b) Make any distribution, whether in cash, property, securities or a combination thereof, other than regular scheduled payments of principal and interest as and when due (to the extent not prohibited by applicable subordination provisions), in respect of, or pay, or commit to pay, or directly or indirectly (including pursuant to any Synthetic Purchase Agreement) redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire for consideration, or set apart any sum for the aforesaid purposes, any subordinated Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness); provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the date of such redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition for consideration, or would result therefrom, Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary may redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire for consideration (i) (i) from and after the Third Restatement Effective Date, subordinated Indebtedness for an aggregate price not in excess of (A) $300,000,000 less (B) the amount of Restricted Payments made from and after the Third Restatement Effective Date pursuant to clause (v) of Section 6.06(a), (ii) subordinated Indebtedness with the proceeds of or in exchange for (A) subordinated Indebtedness that is permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 and is subordinated on terms not materially less advantageous to the Lenders than those of the Indebtedness being redeemed, repurchased, retired or otherwise acquired for consideration or (B) the issuance of Equity Interests, (iv) subordinated Indebtedness so long as (A) the amount paid in respect thereof does not exceed the Available Amount at the time paid and (B) at the time of and after giving effect thereto, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 4.0 to 1.0, or (v) subordinated Indebtedness so long as (A) the amount paid in respect thereof does not exceed the Available Declined Proceeds Amount at the time paid and (B) at the time of and after giving effect thereto, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 4.0 to 1.0.

(c) Nothing in this Section 6.09 shall limit or otherwise prohibit the making (and any payment in connection therewith) of any “Change of Control Offer” in accordance with clause (f) of Article VII.

In any year in which a Permitted Acquisition occurs, the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount in respect of such fiscal year shall be increased (but not decreased) by an amount equal to 7.5% of the net revenues generated by the Acquired Entity acquired during the preceding fiscal year of such Acquired Entity (pro rated based on the number of days remaining in such fiscal year). In addition, to the extent any portion of the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount for any fiscal year (as the same may have been increased pursuant to the preceding sentence) is not fully expended during such fiscal year, then 50% of the amount not so expended may be carried forward to and used in succeeding fiscal years. In addition, for any fiscal year, the amount of Capital Expenditures that would otherwise be permitted in such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 6.11 may be increased by an amount not to exceed 50% of the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount for the immediately succeeding fiscal year (the “CapEx Pull-Forward Amount”). The actual CapEx Pull-Forward Amount in respect of any such fiscal year shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of Capital Expenditures that would have been permitted to be made in the immediately succeeding fiscal year. In addition, for any fiscal year, the amount of Capital Expenditures that would otherwise be permitted in such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 6.11 may be increased by an amount not to exceed $400,000,000 if, at the time of such expenditure, both before and after giving pro forma effect thereto, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the Leverage Ratio is less than 4.50 to 1.00.

The provisions of this Section 6.11 are solely for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and any Lenders having Other Term A Loans and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.08, the Required Covenant Lenders may (i) amend or otherwise modify Section 6.11 or, solely for purposes of Section 6.11, the defined terms used, directly or indirectly, therein, or (ii) waive any non-compliance with Section 6.11 or any Event of Default resulting from such non-compliance, in each case without the consent of any other Lenders.

SECTION 6.12. [Reserved].

117

further that this clause (f) shall not apply if (x) such failure is remedied or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to any termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Article VII or (y) such failure is a breach of a financial covenant in the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, in which case, the failure shall not constitute Default or an Event of Default with respect to any Loans hereunder unless and until the ABL Lenders have declared all amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and all outstanding commitments under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement to be immediately terminated, and such declaration has not been rescinded on or before such date;

the tenth Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, Parent may issue Qualified Capital Stock and elect to treat all or any portion of the net cash proceeds thereof as having increased Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter solely for the purpose of determining actual and pro forma compliance with Section 6.13 at the end of such applicable quarter and applicable subsequent periods and for purposes of determining whether the Secured Net Leverage Ratio Condition has been satisfied and not for any other purpose of this Agreement (including determining the Applicable Percentage); provided that (a) such proceeds (i) are actually received by Parent and contributed to the Borrower no later than ten days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cause Parent to be in compliance with the covenants under Section 6.13 for any applicable period and (b) in each period of four fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no such right to cure permitted by this paragraph is utilized.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; Certain ERISA Matters

SECTION 8.01. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the ABL

121

Intercreditor Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Parent, the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice

122

of its resignation, then the retirement of the retiring Agent shall become effective on such 30th day and the retiring Agent may (but shall not have any obligation to do so), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such bank and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 9.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 9.01. As agreed to among Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable person provided from time to time by such person.

Parent and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to each Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Parent and the Borrower hereby agree that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Parent and the Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.17); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Parent or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) any notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (C) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (b) and (c).

126

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Parent or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of 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 that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

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.

127

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower or Parent herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 9.05 and 9.18 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with notice to the Borrower and the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, each of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment made to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default referred to in paragraph (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII), (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than (x) $1,000,000 (with respect to an assignment of Term Loans) and (y) $5,000,000 (with respect to an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans) (or, in any case, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class), (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an

128

Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and will not apply in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Approved Fund that is managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or by an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages such Lender), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

129

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of

130

interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participating bank or person and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participating bank or person’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participating bank or person or any information relating to a participating bank or person’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17.

(g) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

131

by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any investor, potential investor, rating agency, commercial paper dealer, collateral manager, servicer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Neither Parent nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(j) In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Revolving Credit Lender) then the Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority

132

and (ii) the Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Arranger and each Issuing Bank in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

(b) The Borrower and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for all Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, any related transaction and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted primarily from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or

133

willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (2) a material breach of the obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or of any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of the foregoing under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) or (y) result from any proceeding (other than a proceeding against a party hereto acting pursuant to this Agreement or in its capacity as such or of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnitees not arising from any act or omission of a Loan Party.

(c) To the extent that Parent and the Borrower fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Parent nor the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or Parent and the Borrower and each of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable, within 30 days of written demand therefor with a reasonably detailed summary of the amounts claimed.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited 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 an Affiliate of such

134

Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or Parent against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or Parent now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, provided that at such time such obligations are due or payable. The rights of each Lender and Affiliates of such Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or Parent in any case shall entitle the Borrower or Parent to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank further authorizes and directs each Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in order to (A) enable any extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or additional incurrence of any Loans or any Pari Passu Debt, Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness or Other Junior Secured Debt permitted under this Agreement and (B) provide for the Pari Passu Debt Obligations or Other Junior Secured Debt thereunder to be secured by Liens on the Collateral having, as applicable, the same priority as, or junior priority to, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations, in each case on behalf of such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or such Issuing Bank.

143

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Parent, the Borrower and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Parent, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates.

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Subject to Section 1.07(d), Mortgagee may in Mortgagor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due under any Lease.

(d) So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.07(c), and Mortgagor shall have permission and a license to receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease; but after the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, said license shall immediately cease and terminate and Mortgagee may, at its option, receive and collect all Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of an Event of Default sent by Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Mortgagee (such notice to promptly be sent by Mortgagee once an Event of Default is no longer occurring) that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Mortgagee to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.

(e) Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Mortgaged Property or any other act or omission by any other person.

(f) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within 30 days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals and/or other amounts payable thereunder.

(g) Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and grants to Mortgagee the right of Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Premises in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, to collect Rent and take any and all other actions designated by Mortgagee for the proper management and preservation of the Premises. Furthermore, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and grants to Mortgagee the right of Mortgagee, and the irrevocable power of attorney of Mortgagor, coupled with an interest, to take any and all of the actions set forth in herein and any or all other actions designated by Mortgagee for the proper management and preservation of the Premises and the Leases.

SECTION 1.08. Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances. Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly sell, convey, divest, alienate, assign, lease, sublease, license, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer, create, consent to or suffer the creation of any lien, charge or other form of encumbrance upon any interest in or any part of the Mortgaged Property (other than resulting from a condemnation), or engage in any common, cooperative, joint, time-sharing or other congregate ownership of all or part thereof, except in each case in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement and/or any equivalent provision of the Indentures; provided, that Mortgagor may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with reasonable commercial standards, enter into easement or covenant agreements that relate to and/or benefit the operation of the Mortgaged Property and that do not materially and adversely affect the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 1.09. Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage of real property and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a “Security Agreement” within the meaning of the uniform commercial code as adopted in the state wherein the Premises are located (“UCC”). Mortgagor has hereby granted unto Mortgagee a security interest in and to all the Mortgaged Property described in this Mortgage that is not real property, and prior to or simultaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, Mortgagor has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the jurisdiction of formation of the Mortgagor to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Mortgaged Property that is not real property. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing reasonably requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest contemplated by the preceding sentence.

SECTION 1.13. No Claims Against Mortgagee.

ARTICLE II

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 2.01. Events of Default. Any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (as such term is defined therein) or an Indenture (as such term is defined therein) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage.

SECTION 2.02. Demand for Payment. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, upon written demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee all amounts due hereunder and under any Secured Credit Document and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses incurred by Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute an action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, to prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, to enforce any such judgment or final decree against Mortgagor and to collect, in any manner provided by law, all moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

SECTION 2.03. Rights To Take Possession, Operate and Apply Revenues. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to Mortgagee actual possession of the Mortgaged Property and, if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Mortgaged Property without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor.

(b) If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagee may to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee’s attorneys and agents with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to overdue amounts under the Credit Agreement as provided in Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement (the “Interest Rate”); and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

(c) Upon every such entry or taking of possession, Mortgagee may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property that are reasonably necessary for the operation of the business, (iii) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured, (iv) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor to the same extent as Mortgagor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same, or (v) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by Mortgagee to reasonably be in its best interest and Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to perform any of the foregoing acts. Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Mortgaged Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the out-of-pocket costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of insurance, (iv) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Mortgagee may at its option pay, (v) other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and (vi) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall apply the remainder of the moneys and proceeds so received first to the payment of the Mortgagee for the satisfaction of the Obligations, and second, if there is any surplus, to Mortgagor, subject to the entitlement of others thereto under applicable law.

(d) Whenever, before any sale of the Mortgaged Property under Section 2.06, all Obligations that are then due shall have been paid and all Events of Default fully cured, Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property back to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

SECTION 2.04. Right To Cure Mortgagor’s Failure to Perform. Should Mortgagor fail in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this Mortgage or the Secured Credit Document (with respect to the Mortgaged Property), Mortgagee may pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. Mortgagee shall be the judge using reasonable discretion of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe and without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under Mortgagor or to any other person; provided, however, that except in the case of an emergency, Mortgagee will provide reasonable advance notice of such entry, such entry shall be conducted in a reasonable manner and Mortgagee shall use reasonable efforts to endeavor to minimize the amount of disturbance to the Mortgagor’s possession of the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 2.05. Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee upon demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

SECTION 2.06. Foreclosure and Sale. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may elect to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to Mortgagee by applicable law or this Mortgage. In such case, Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, or it may proceed and sell the Mortgaged Property to satisfy any Obligation. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property, may sell all or such parts of the Mortgaged Property as may be chosen by Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as Mortgagee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder. Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public

announcement or subsequently noticed sale. Without further notice, Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Mortgaged Property may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale. Any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee or any designee or affiliate thereof, may purchase at such sale.

(b) The Mortgaged Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes and the Liens set forth in Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and, after deducting all costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Mortgagee (including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale), Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale in the manner set forth in Section 2.08.

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until the Obligations have been satisfied, or the entirety of the Mortgaged Property has been sold.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may instead of, or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 2.06(a) above and either with or without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of some or all of the Obligations, or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or any other right, or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to Mortgagee, all as Mortgagee shall determine most effectual for such purposes.

SECTION 2.07. Other Remedies. (a) In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by law, any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Mortgaged Property or any Personal Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 2.08, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Obligations, plus all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

SECTION 2.08. Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents. Subject to applicable law, after any foreclosure sale of all or any of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall receive and apply the proceeds of the sale together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Mortgagee (in their respective capacities as such hereunder or under any other Secured Credit Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Mortgage, any other Secured Credit Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the

repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Mortgagee hereunder or under any other Secured Credit Document, as applicable, on behalf of any Mortgagor and any other out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Secured Credit Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

THIRD, to the payment in full of all other Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

FOURTH, to the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Mortgagee shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Mortgage, and subject to applicable law. Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Mortgagee or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Mortgaged Property so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Mortgagee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 2.09. Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If Mortgagor remains in possession of any of the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure sale by Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s election Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

SECTION 2.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Mortgagor waives, to the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted (x) providing for any appraisement or valuation of any portion of the Mortgaged Property and/or (y) in any way extending the time for the enforcement or the collection of amounts due under any of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt or any other amounts due Mortgagee, (ii) any right to at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any homestead exemption, stay, statute of limitations, extension or redemption, or sale of the Mortgaged Property as separate tracts, units or estates or as a single parcel in the event of foreclosure or notice of deficiency, and (iii) all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of or each of the Obligations and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage.

SECTION 2.11. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Mortgagee shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely to Mortgagee, then and in every such case Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 2.12. Suits To Protect the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall have power (a) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property and in the Rents arising therefrom and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of Mortgagee hereunder.

SECTION 2.13. Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after such date.

SECTION 2.14. Possession by Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor, any of its property or the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to remain in possession and control of all parts of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter granted under this Mortgage to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.

SECTION 2.15. Waiver. (a) No delay or failure by Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. No consent or waiver by Mortgagee to or of any breach or Event of Default by Mortgagor in the performance of the Obligations shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the same or of any other Obligations by Mortgagor hereunder. No failure on the part of Mortgagee to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of Default by Mortgagor.

(b) Even if Mortgagee (i) grants some forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise some right granted herein or under the Secured Credit Documents, (iv) releases a part of the Mortgaged Property from this Mortgage, (v) agrees to change some of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of any of the Secured Credit Documents, (vi) consents to the filing of a map, plat or replat affecting the Premises, (vii) consents to the granting of an easement or other right affecting the Premises or (viii) makes or consents to an agreement subordinating Mortgagee’s lien on the Mortgaged Property hereunder; no such act or omission shall preclude Mortgagee from exercising any other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any breach or Event of Default then made or of any subsequent default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument executed by Mortgagee, shall this Mortgage be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

SECTION 2.16. Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT THEREIN. MORTGAGOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUIT BROUGHT BY MORTGAGEE HEREUNDER AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY SUCH SUIT CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

SECTION 2.17. Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

Each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent and each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or for the benefit or on behalf of any Senior-Priority Secured Party in any Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in any Collateral, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior-Priority Secured Party or Junior-Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

¹	To reflect any other exclusion from Junior-Priority Secured Notes collateral.

Senior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Senior-Priority Documents with respect to which such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent), such Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof to each such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and such Grantor shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ thereon to each such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in a manner and on terms satisfactory to such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(b) So long as any Junior-Priority Debt remains outstanding, the parties hereto agree that, after the date hereof, if any Senior-Priority Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Senior-Priority Debt that are not also subject to Liens of each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent under the applicable Junior-Priority Documents (except for any assets that are expressly not required to be subject to a Lien of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Junior-Priority Documents with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent and cash collateral provided under the terms of the Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agreement), such Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof to each such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ thereon to each such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in a manner and on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(c) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.3 are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, that any amount received by or distributed to such Junior-Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section shall be subject to Section 4 hereof.

(ii) to make the forms, documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt and the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt and the Liens of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Liens of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties materially the same, other than with respect to the senior priority or junior priority lien nature of the Liens created or evidenced thereunder (as applicable), the identity of the parties thereto or secured thereby and other matters contemplated by this Agreement, including the proviso in Section 2.1(c).

(E) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and other filings, make any arguments and motions and take any other action in order to preserve or protect their Liens on the Collateral that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the applicable Junior-Priority Debt and the Collateral, (F) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies that may be exercised by unsecured creditors to the extent provided in Section 3.4 hereof and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms hereof, including, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the right to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy Law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a Grantor, except as otherwise requested or expressly consented to in writing by the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent), in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that any judgment Lien obtained by a Junior-Priority Secured Party as a result of such exercise of rights will be subject to this Agreement (and will have the same priority hereunder as the other Liens of the applicable Junior-Priority Collateral Agent); provided further, however, that until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, if a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such judgment Lien, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 and (G) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Junior-Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization, in a manner and to the extent consistent with the provisions hereof; and

(iii) each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, may enforce the provisions of the Senior-Priority Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion and such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law, in each case as if no Junior-Priority Debt is then outstanding.

(b) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, except as expressly provided in the provisos in Section 3.1(a)(ii) above, the sole right of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Junior-Priority Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred.

(c) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Senior-Priority Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any and all rights each may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner or order in which any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior-Priority Debt or the Liens granted in any of the Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties is or could be adverse to the interests of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties.

(d) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior-Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior-Priority Documents.

(e) Subject to 3.1(a) hereof, the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to exercise or enforce any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral and commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights and remedies and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, subject to the Junior-Priority Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement and any other then effective intercreditor agreement, the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, who may be instructed by the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents, shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, who may be instructed by the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents, shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior-Priority Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.1(e) shall impair the right of any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior-Priority Secured Parties or the Junior-Priority Debt.

(a) will not, so long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, enforce or exercise, or seek to enforce or exercise, any rights or remedies (including any right of setoff or notification of account debtors) with respect to any Collateral, other than the rights set forth in Section 3.1(a)(ii);

(b) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure action or proceeding brought by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, or any other enforcement or exercise by any Senior-Priority Secured Party of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral under the Senior-Priority Documents or otherwise, so long as the Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1;

(c) will not object to the forbearance by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties from commencing or pursuing any foreclosure action or proceeding or any other enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) will not take any action that would, or could reasonably be expected to, hinder, in any manner, any exercise of remedies under the Senior-Priority Documents, including any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(f) will not object to the order or manner in which any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party may seek to enforce or collect the Senior-Priority Debt or the Liens of such Senior-Priority Secured Party, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party is, or could be, adverse to the interests of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, and will not assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law with respect to the matters described in this clause (f); and

(g) will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise, to challenge or question the validity or enforceability of any Senior-Priority Debt, any Lien of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Senior-Priority Security Document, including this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or obligations established by this Agreement.

3.3 Cooperation. Subject to the provisos in Section 3.1(a)(ii), each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent upon its request) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any of the Junior-Priority Documents, or otherwise.

3.4 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior-Priority Documents and applicable Law, but only to the extent that the exercise of any such rights and remedies is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event any Junior-Priority Secured Party, as a result of the exercise of their rights as unsecured creditors are granted or otherwise holds a judgment Lien, such Lien shall be subject to this Agreement (and will have the same priority hereunder as the other Liens of the applicable Junior-Priority Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent of foreclosure rights or other remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or any other act in contravention of this Agreement.

3.5 Release of Junior-Priority Liens.

(a) Effective upon any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral permitted, or expressly consented to in writing by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents, under the terms of the Senior-Priority Documents to which each such Agent is a party that results in the release of any of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s Liens on any Collateral (excluding any sale or other disposition that is expressly prohibited by the Junior-Priority Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) unless such sale or other disposition is consummated in connection with the exercise of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of Collateral or consummated after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or consummated upon the occurrence or during the existence of an event of default under the Senior-Priority Documents to which such Agent is a party):

(iii) each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, shall be deemed to have authorized the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent to file UCC amendments and terminations covering the Collateral so sold, leased, licensed, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of as to UCC financing statements between any Grantor and such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent to evidence such release and termination; and

(iv) each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, shall be deemed to have consented under the Junior-Priority Documents to which such Agent is a party, to such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition to the same extent as the consent of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties.

(b) (i) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or such holder or in the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.5, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.5, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(ii) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to modify the obligation of any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent to act in a manner consistent with applicable Law in the exercise of its rights to sell, lease, license, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral.

3.6 Insurance and Condemnation Awards.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of Grantors under the Senior-Priority Documents and to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation in respect of the Collateral. So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred (subject, in the case of any ABL Priority Collateral, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, be paid to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties to the extent required under the applicable Senior-Priority Documents, (b) second, be paid to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties to the extent required under the applicable Junior-Priority Documents and (c) third, if no Junior-Priority Debt is outstanding, be paid to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or as may otherwise be required by applicable Law. Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, if any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

(b) After the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred and so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of Grantors under the Junior-Priority Documents and to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other then effective intercreditor agreement, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation in respect of the Collateral. After the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred (subject, in the case of any ABL Priority Collateral, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), but so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, be paid to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties to the extent required under the applicable Junior-Priority Documents and (b) second, if no Junior-Priority Debt is outstanding, be paid to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or as may otherwise be required by applicable Law.

Section 4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Proceeds.

(i) first, to the Senior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the relevant Senior-Priority Documents until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred; and

(ii) second, to the Junior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the relevant Junior-Priority Documents until the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has occurred.

(b) Upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and without imposing any liability on the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party (with any right to seek to impose any such liability being hereby expressly waived by each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent), the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, without recourse, representation or warranty, any proceeds of Collateral held by it at such time in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to the Junior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the Junior-Priority Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and/or the other Junior-Priority Documents.

(c) The foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective lien priorities as between the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and shall not impose on any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable Law.

4.2 Payments Over.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, that any Collateral or proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto received by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party, with respect to the Collateral, and including in connection with any right of set-off, insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation), shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly transferred or paid over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or assignments or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, however, that this Section 4.2(a) shall not apply to any required payments of interest and principal received by a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party prior to the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such

receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of foreclosure rights or other remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or any other act in contravention of this Agreement. The Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements or assignments as agent for the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

4.3 Certain Agreements with Respect to Unenforceable Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and each Junior-Priority Secured Party agrees that any distribution or recovery it may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct until such time as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred. Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt occurs, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby appoints the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of such Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Junior-Priority Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.3 and taking any action and executing any instrument that such Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.3, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 5. Bailee for Perfection.

5.1 Each Agent as Bailee.

(a) Each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral (or by notation of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s lien, if any, on any certificate of title, if applicable) or of any deposit or securities account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such deposit or securities account is in fact in the possession or under the control of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, or of agents or bailees of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”) as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents in such Pledged or Controlled Collateral (including, but not limited to, any securities or any deposit accounts or securities accounts, if any) pursuant to the Junior-Priority Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Senior-Priority Documents as if the Liens on the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt did not exist. The obligations and responsibilities of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties under this Article 5 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5. Without limiting the foregoing, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party to assure that the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5. The duty or responsibility of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents under this Section 5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents for purposes of perfecting the Liens held by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents.

(c) The Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall not have, by reason of the Senior-Priority Documents, the Junior-Priority Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party and shall not have any liability to any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party in connection with its holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral; and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents shall not have, by reason of the Junior-Priority Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Junior-Priority Secured Party and shall not have any liability to any other Junior-Priority Secured Party in connection with its holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be subject in all respects to [Section 5.5 (First Priority Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection) of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement], and in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.1 and such Section of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

5.2 Transfer of Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

(a) Upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall, together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse, representation or warranty, transfer the possession and control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, if any, then in its possession or control to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agents except in the event and to the extent that (a) any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party has retained or otherwise acquired such Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any of the Senior-Priority Debt, (b) such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party or by a Grantor as provided in this Agreement or (c) it is otherwise required by any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or applicable Law or would result in the risk of liability of any Senior-Priority Secured Party to any third party. The foregoing provision shall not impose on any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any

other Senior-Priority Secured Party any obligations which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority or any applicable Law. In connection with any transfer described herein to any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, and upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt (so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred), each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees to take reasonable actions in its power (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be paid by the Borrower) as shall be reasonably requested by any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the requisite number of Junior-Priority Holders with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents to permit such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral (subject, in the case of any ABL Priority Collateral, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and subject to other Liens permitted by the Junior-Priority Documents).

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 General Applicability; Filing of Motions.

(a) This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted or subsequent cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such Grantor and the Borrower or such Grantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted cases and subsequent cases, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Borrower or any other Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any other court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

(b) Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent that no Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Collateral, including with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party or Junior-Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided, however, that each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent

may (i) file a proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents imposed hereby or (ii) take other actions specified in the provisos to Section 3.1(a)(ii) or otherwise with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, subject to the requisite consent of any bankruptcy court.

6.2 Bankruptcy Financing.

(a) Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “cash collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) which constitutes Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing from the Senior-Priority Secured Parties or any other person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.4(c) of this Agreement) each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing (unless the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the Senior-Priority Secured Parties for which such Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing) so long as (i) such cash collateral use or DIP Financing is on commercially reasonable terms and, if required by applicable Law, is approved by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (ii) the DIP Financing does not compel Grantors to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the documents for the DIP Financing, except that such DIP Financing may (A) provide that the plan of reorganization require the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt and (B) require the Grantors to seek confirmation of a plan acceptable to the Senior-Priority Secured Parties or entities providing the DIP Financing and contain milestones relating to such plan. To the extent that the Liens securing the Senior-Priority Debt are subordinated to or on an equal priority basis with the Liens securing DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will subordinate (and will be deemed to have subordinated) the Liens securing the respective Junior-Priority Debt in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or otherwise applicable thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with its rights as a holder of Liens on the Collateral (except as expressly agreed by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 6.4).

6.3 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, no Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders, as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents) seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Lien securing any of the Junior-Priority Debt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Grantor waives or shall be deemed to have waived any rights under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.4 Adequate Protection.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (i) any request by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, (ii) any objection by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (it being understood and agreed that the value of the Liens on the Collateral held by each Senior-Priority Secured Party shall be determined without regard to the existence of any Liens held by the Junior-Priority Secured Parties).

(b) So long as each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall have received and shall continue to receive all accrued post-petition interest, fees or expenses with respect to the Senior-Priority Debt, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and any Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent may seek any claim for allowance of post-petition interest, fees or expenses in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior-Priority Debt (it being understood and agreed that the value of the Liens on the Collateral held by each Junior-Priority Secured Party shall be determined taking into account the Liens on the Collateral held by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties); provided, however, that until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, if any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any post-petition interest arising from any such claim, it shall pay such post-petition interest over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 hereof.

(c) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders, as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents), except that each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, shall be permitted (i) to obtain adequate protection in the form of the benefit of additional or replacement Liens on the Collateral, or additional or replacement collateral to secure the Junior-Priority Debt in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral as provided for in Section 6.2 hereof, or in connection with any such adequate protection obtained by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and any other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, as long as, in each case, such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is also granted such additional or replacement Liens or additional or replacement collateral and such

Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any such other Junior-Priority Secured Party are subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior-Priority Debt to the same extent as the Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent on the Collateral are subordinated to the Liens of each applicable Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and each other applicable Senior-Priority Secured Parties hereunder, (ii) to obtain adequate protection in the form of reports, notices, inspection rights and similar forms of adequate protection to the extent granted to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and (iii) to seek and receive, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, additional adequate protection of its junior interest in the Collateral in the form of a superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under 11 U.S.C. §507(b); provided, however, that, (A) any such superpriority administrative expense claim of a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be junior in all respects to any superpriority administrative expense claim granted to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral and (B) in the event that a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and other Junior-Priority Secured Parties such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, seeks or receives protection of its junior interest in the Collateral and is granted a superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under 11 U.S.C. §507(b), then such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that all Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall receive a superpriority administrative expense claim which shall be senior in all respects to the superpriority administrative expense claim granted to such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral (with the relative priorities of all such superpriority administrative expense claims to be the same as the Lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof).

6.5 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, on account of the Senior-Priority Debt and/or the Junior-Priority Debt, then, to the extent that the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior-Priority Debt and/or on account of the Junior-Priority Debt are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.6 Separate Classes. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties are not “substantially similar” within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens to secure the Senior-Priority Debt and the grants of the Liens to secure the Junior-Priority Debt constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) (i) the rights of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Junior-Priority Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (ii) the rights of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Senior-Priority Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (d) as a result of the foregoing, among other things, the Senior-Priority Debt and the Junior-Priority Debt must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.7 Asset Dispositions. Except as otherwise set forth below, until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Junior-Priority Secured Parties will not object to or oppose (or support any Person in objecting to or opposing) a motion with respect to any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Liens of any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law and shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code that has been consented to by the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents); provided, however, that, (i) the proceeds of such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral shall be applied to the Senior-Priority Debt or the Junior-Priority Debt in accordance with Section 4.1, or if not so applied, the Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in such Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and (ii) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Collateral in any such disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of all Senior-Priority Debt.

6.8 Preference Issues. If any Senior-Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Senior-Priority Debt previously owing to such Senior-Priority Secured Party shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties provided for herein.

6.9 Certain Waivers as to Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, waives any claim any such Junior-Priority Secured Party may hereafter have against any Senior-Priority Secured Party arising out of the election by any Senior-Priority Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

6.10 Other Bankruptcy Laws. In the event that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any Bankruptcy Law other than the Bankruptcy Code, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law applicable to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law, such other general Bankruptcy Law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 7. Reliance; Waivers, etc.

7.1 Reliance. The consent by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties to the incurrence of the Junior-Priority Debt, the execution and delivery of the Junior-Priority Documents and the grant to each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, of a Lien on the Collateral and all loans, other extensions of credit or other obligations made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties to any Grantor shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.

So long as any Senior-Priority Debt remains outstanding, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that the Senior-Priority Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their Senior-Priority Debt under the Senior-Priority Documents in accordance with Law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties may manage their Senior-Priority Debt under the Senior-Priority Documents without regard to any rights or interests that any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. None of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents nor any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall have any express or implied duty to any Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties and neither the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents nor any of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties shall have any express or implied duty to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or a default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the Senior-Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior-Priority Documents), the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party, without incurring any liabilities to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby), do any one or more of the following:

This Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt shall have occurred or the final payment in full in cash of the Junior-Priority Debt and the termination and release by each Junior-Priority Secured Party of any Liens to secure the Junior-Priority Debt. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor constituting Senior-Priority Debt in reliance hereon. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable Law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.3 When Discharge of Debt Deemed to Not Have Occurred.

(a) If substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, the Borrower Refinances Indebtedness outstanding under any of the Senior-Priority Documents, then, after written notice to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Junior-Priority Documents, (a) the Indebtedness and other obligations arising pursuant to such Refinancing of the then outstanding Indebtedness under such Senior-Priority Documents shall automatically be treated as Senior-Priority Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (b) each Additional Senior-Priority Document governing or evidencing such new Indebtedness shall automatically be treated as a Senior-Priority Document for all purposes of this Agreement, (c) the Additional Agent under the Additional Senior-Priority Document shall be deemed to be a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (d) the Additional Holders under such Additional Senior-Priority Document shall be deemed to be Senior-Priority Holders for purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of such Refinancing (including the identity of the Additional Agent) and the delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Junior-Priority Documents, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to provide to the Additional Agent the rights of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent contemplated hereby and acknowledge that the Additional Holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the Senior-Priority Holders.

(b) If substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt, the Borrower Refinances Indebtedness outstanding under any of the Junior-Priority Documents, then, after written notice to the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents, (a) the Indebtedness and other obligations arising pursuant to such Refinancing of the then outstanding Indebtedness under such Junior-Priority Documents shall automatically be treated as Junior-Priority Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (b) each Additional Junior-Priority Document governing or evidencing such new Indebtedness shall automatically be treated as a Junior-Priority Document for all purposes of this Agreement, (c) the Additional Agent shall be deemed to be a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (d) the Additional Holders under such Additional Junior-Priority Documents shall be deemed to be Junior-Priority Holders for purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of such Refinancing (including the identity of the Additional Agent) and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents, each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to provide to the Additional Agent the rights of a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent contemplated hereby and acknowledge that the Additional Holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the Junior-Priority Holders.

8.4 Legends on Junior-Priority Documents.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees that each Junior-Priority Document that is a security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage or deed of trust shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Senior-Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [●], 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Credit Suisse AG, in its capacity as Initial Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, [●], in its capacity as Initial Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

8.5 Amendments; Waivers.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to

the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent that their rights or obligations are directly adversely affected; provided that any amendment, modification or waiver of Section 6.2, this Section 8.5(a), Section 8.5(b) and any component definitions or references shall be deemed to directly adversely affect the Grantors.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.5(a):

(i) The Borrower, without the consent of any Agent or any other party hereto, may determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment or supplement or an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations (“Additional Debt”) of the Borrower or any of the other Grantors be treated as Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt, as the case may be, under this Agreement, which supplemental agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the applicable Additional Agent and each other Agent and shall specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt; provided, however, that (A) the incurrence of such Additional Debt is not prohibited by the Senior Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents, and such documents do not prohibit such Additional Debt from being secured by Liens on the Collateral with a priority commensurate with Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt hereunder (as applicable), and (B) the terms of such supplemental agreement will contain terms substantially the same as the terms contained in this Agreement.

(ii) Upon the written request of the Borrower and delivery to each Agent of an officer’s certificate certifying that such Additional Debt is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents or the Junior-Priority Documents, as applicable, the applicable Additional Agent and the other Agents and the Grantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement as described in clause (b)(i) above to (A) facilitate such Additional Debt becoming Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt to the extent that such obligations are not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents, as applicable, with the Lien priority contemplated by this Agreement and (B) include the applicable Additional Agent as a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in any case, the terms of such amendment shall be consistent with and contain terms substantially the same as the terms contained in this Agreement.

8.6 Subrogation.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred.
