Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent in writing that the Borrowers wish to amend any financial covenant in Section 8.2 of this Agreement, any related definition and/or the definition of the term Leverage Ratio for purposes of interest, Letter of Credit Fee and Commitment Fee determinations to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP occurring after the Closing Date on the operation of such financial covenants and/or interest, Letter of Credit Fee or Commitment Fee determinations (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowing Agent in writing that the Required Lenders wish to amend any financial covenant in Section 8.2, any related definition and/or the definition of the term Leverage Ratio for purposes of interest, Letter of Credit Fee and Commitment Fee determinations to eliminate the effect of any such change in GAAP), then the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratios or requirements to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, the Loan Parties’ compliance with such covenants and/or the definition of the term Leverage Ratio for purposes of interest, Letter of Credit Fee and Commitment Fee determinations shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenants or definitions are amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall provide to the Administrative Agent, when they deliver their financial statements pursuant to Sections 8.3.1 [Quarterly Financial Statements] and 8.3.2 [Annual Financial Statements] of this Agreement, such

reconciliation statements as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the accounting for operating leases and capital leases under GAAP in effect as of the date hereof (including Accounting Standard Codification 840) shall apply for the purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including the definitions of “Capital Leases”, “Capital Lease Obligations”, “Indebtedness” and determining compliance with the applicable financial covenants.

1.4 Currency Calculations. All financial statements and Compliance Certificates shall be set forth in Dollars. For purposes of preparing the financial statements, calculating financial covenants and determining compliance with covenants expressed in Dollars, Optional Currencies, Available LC Foreign Currencies and other currencies shall be converted to Dollars in accordance with GAAP.

1.5 Divisions . For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 2.
REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWING LOAN FACILITIES

2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.1.1 Revolving Credit Loans; Optional Currency Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans in either Dollars or one or more Optional Currencies (as described below) to the Borrowers at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Expiration Date; provided that (i) after giving effect to each such Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender (whether to the Domestic Borrowers, the Foreign Borrowers or otherwise) shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, (ii) after giving effect to each such Loan, the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) no Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be made in an Optional Currency, (iv) Revolving Credit Loans to the Domestic Borrowers shall only be made in Dollars, (v) Revolving Credit Loans to any Foreign Borrower shall be made in an Optional Currency or in Dollars, and (vi) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Foreign Borrowers shall not exceed the Foreign Borrower Sublimit. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.

2.1.2 Swing Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans

and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC shall make swing loans in Dollars (the “Swing Loans”) to the Domestic Borrowers at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Revolving Credit Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of $20,000,000 provided that after giving effect to such Loan (i) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders and (ii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by a Lender together with such Lender’s Ratable Share of the sum of the Letter of Credit Obligations and the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Domestic Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2.

2.1.3 Nature of Obligations. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are and shall be joint and several, provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein or any other Loan Document contained to the contrary, (i) the aggregate liability under this Agreement and any other Loan Document of each Foreign Borrower (other than General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK) shall be limited at all times to the aggregate outstanding balance of all Revolving Credit Loans made to and all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower hereunder and all interest, fees, indemnities and expenses associated therewith and the present and future assets of such Foreign Borrower (other than General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK) shall not be subject to any Lien to secure any Obligations to the extent that such Obligations do not constitute Obligations of such Foreign Borrower, and (ii) the aggregate liability under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK shall be limited at all times to the aggregate outstanding balance of all Revolving Credit Loans made to and all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower and all other Foreign Borrowers hereunder and all interest, fees, indemnities and expenses associated therewith and the present and future assets of General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK shall not be subject to any Lien to secure any Obligations to the extent that such Obligations do not constitute Obligations of such Foreign Borrower or any of the other Foreign Borrowers; it being understood that the Domestic Borrowers are jointly and several liable for, among other things, all obligations of the Domestic Borrowers and all obligations of the Foreign Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Any reference in any other Loan Documents to the obligations of the Borrowers (or any of them) as being joint and several shall be limited by the terms of this Section 2.1.3 [Nature of the Obligations].

2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrowers at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrowers to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations

hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Revolving Credit Expiration Date.

2.3 Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Expiration Date, the Borrowers agree (subject to, in the case of the Foreign Borrowers, Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations]) to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage (provided however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in the Commitment Fee, the Revolving Facility Usage with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, and with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders other than PNC, such portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to each such Lender’s Ratable Share) as if the Revolving Facility Usage excludes the outstanding Swing Loans); provided, further, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and in U.S. Dollars.

2.4 Termination, Reduction or Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its discretion), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares); provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.4 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in full delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt

or equity issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

2.4.1 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments. The Revolving Credit commitments may be increased as set forth in Section 3.1 [Incremental Commitments].

2.5 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests.

2.5.1 Revolving Credit Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m., (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans in Dollars; (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Optional Currency Loans or the date of conversion to or renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any Optional Currency Loan, and (iii) the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5.1 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, and, if applicable, the Interest Period, which amount shall be in (x) the minimum amount of $500,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) for each Borrowing Tranche, (B) which Interest Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Dollar denominated Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche, (C) the currency in which such Revolving Credit Loans shall be funded if the Foreign Borrowers elect an Optional Currency and the applicable Interest Rate Option, and (D) which Borrower is borrowing such Revolving Credit Loans.

2.5.2 Swing Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Domestic Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Expiration Date request the Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans by delivery to the Swing Loan Lender not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5.2 hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000.

2.6 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

2.6.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrowers, including (i) the amount and type of currency of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the Interest Period (if any), (ii) the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans] and (iii) which Borrower or Borrowers are borrowing such Loans. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested currency to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the applicable Borrower(s) in U.S. Dollars or the requested Optional Currency (as applicable) in immediately available funds at the Principal Office (or with respect to Loans in an Optional Currency such other lending office as the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, notify such Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. (or with respect to Loans in an Optional Currency, such other time as the Administrative Agent shall notify such Lender), on the applicable Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds, including funds in the requested Optional Currency, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6.2 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].

2.6.2 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Base Rate Loan, or, for Loans other than Base Rate Loans, prior to the close of business the day before the Borrowing Date, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower(s) a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and (subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations]) the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in the appropriate currency with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower(s) to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate), and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the

Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

2.6.3 Making Swing Loans. PNC shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5.2 [Swing Loan Requests], fund such Swing Loan to the Domestic Borrowers in U.S. Dollars only and in immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date.

2.6.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The relevant Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Revolving Credit Expiration Date.

2.6.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.6.5 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.

2.6.6 Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6.3 [Making Swing Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from the Domestic Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.5.2 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as the Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the Domestic Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between one or more Domestic Borrowers and the Swing Loan Lender relating to deposit, sweep and other accounts of one or more of the Domestic Borrowers at such Swing Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of the cash assets of one or more of the Domestic Borrowers as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the accounts of one or more of the Domestic Borrowers which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6.6 in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.5.2 [Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the

Domestic Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Revolving Credit Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Domestic Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.6.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6.6.

2.7 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made to them by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and a swing Note, dated the Closing Date payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.

2.8 Use of Proceeds – Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans (including Incremental Revolving Credit Loans) shall be used (i) to refinance existing Indebtedness of the Loan Parties on the Closing Date and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including working capital, Letters of Credit, Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and fees and expenses associated with the Revolving Credit Loans.

2.9 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Any Borrower or any other Loan Party may at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Expiration Date request the issuance of a standby or trade letter of credit (together with the Existing Letters of Credit, each a “Letter of Credit”), which may be denominated in either Dollars or an Available LC Foreign Currency, for its own account or the account of another Loan Party, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit electronically to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall authorize and direct the applicable Issuing Lender to name any Borrower or any other Loan Party as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

2.9.1.1 Unless the applicable Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more

applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, such Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than the Revolving Credit Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, the Dollar Equivalent of $20,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by a Borrower or other Loan Party and the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (B) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Lender, in its discretion, to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal; provided that unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Lender, neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such renewal. Each request by a Borrower or another Loan Party for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that they shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.9.1.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1.1, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it, (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (iii) the proposed beneficiary thereof is a Sanctioned Person.

2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations], the Borrowers shall pay in Dollars (or, at the Administrative Agent’s option, the Available LC Foreign Currency in which a Letter of Credit is issued) (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter

of Credit Fee Rate on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Issuing Lenders (or, if requested by the Administrative Agent, directly to each Issuing Lender) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall also pay (in Dollars) to each Issuing Lender for such Issuing Lender’s sole account such Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as such Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

2.9.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively, in each case in the currency in which each Letter of Credit is issued.

2.9.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that the Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day, subject to Section 2.1.3, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lenders shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the applicable Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon on each date that an amount is paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) (otherwise on the next Business Day) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Lender in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the applicable Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof) be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.1 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

2.9.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof), whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the applicable Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.9.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.2.

2.9.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the applicable Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.1, because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the amount of such drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof). Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

2.9.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by such Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in

the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by such Issuing Lender.

2.9.4.2 If the Administrative Agent (or an Issuing Lender) is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender (or any payment made to such Issuing Lender directly) pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent (or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be) plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Available LC Foreign Currency, the Overnight Rate) in effect from time to time.

2.9.5 Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of each Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and each Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, an Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against any Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], 2.6 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary, any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if an Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by any Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by any Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless such Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after such Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;

(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii) the fact that the Revolving Credit Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.9.8 Indemnity. In the case of the Foreign Borrowers, subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations], the Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such applicable Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and any Issuing Lender, or any Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any

dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve an Issuing Lender from liability for such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall any Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to any Loan Party or any Lender.

2.9.10 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by it, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.

2.10 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees];

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that, except as expressly provided in such Section 11.1, this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a) all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the Revolving Credit Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(b) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;

(c) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;

(d) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and

(e) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lenders or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders pro rata (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(f) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC as Swing Loan Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and Ratable Share of Swing Loans will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(iii) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or any Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to PNC or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowing Agent, PNC and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as

the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share.

2.11 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.

2.11.1 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans that are Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding; Repayment in Same Currency. For purposes of determining utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) the outstanding and proposed Revolving Credit Loans that are Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Available LC Foreign Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in an Available LC Foreign Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii), and any other date on which the Administrative Agent determines it is necessary or advisable to make such computation, in its sole discretion, is referred to as a “Computation Date”). Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, each Loan and Reimbursement Obligation shall be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Loan was made or Letter of Credit was issued.

2.11.2 European Monetary Union.

(i) Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrowers, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency shall instead be payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency by the Euro (and the provisions governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency, as applicable). Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be payable only in that currency.

(ii) Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances. Subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations] in the case of the Foreign Borrowers, the Borrowers agree, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign

Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowing Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis. Subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations] in the case of the Foreign Borrowers, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(iii) Requests for Additional Optional Currencies or Additional Available LC Foreign Currency. The Borrowing Agent may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made, or Letters of Credit hereunder issued, in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definitions of “Optional Currency” or “Available LC Foreign Currency” herein, provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders (or, with respect to a request for an additional Available LC Foreign Currency, the Issuing Lenders) in the Relevant Interbank Market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders (or, with respect to a request for an additional Available LC Foreign Currency, the Issuing Lenders) of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrowers’ request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (or with respect to a request for an additional Available LC Foreign Currency, all of the Issuing Lenders) approve of the Borrowers’ request.

2.12 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender may make any Loan hereunder through an Affiliate or domestic or foreign branch of such Lender or Affiliate.

2.13 Borrowing Agency Provisions; Co-Borrowers.

(i) Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints the Borrowing Agent as its non-exclusive representative, and grants to the Borrowing Agent an irrevocable power of attorney to act as its attorney-in-fact, with regard to all matters relating to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of any Loan Request, Swing Loan Request, and amendments, supplements, waivers or other modifications hereto or thereto, giving or receipt of any notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process in connection herewith or therewith and making all elections as to interest rates and interest payment dates. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely exclusively on the Borrowing Agent’s authority so to act in each instance without inquiry or investigation, and each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Loan Lender for any losses, costs, delays, errors, claims, penalties or charges arising from or out of the Borrowing Agent’s actions pursuant to this Section 2.13 and the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’, the Issuing Lenders’ and the Swing Loan Lender’s reliance thereon and hereon, subject

to any applicable exception expressly set forth in Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrowers]. Notice from the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to be notice from all of the Borrowers and notice to the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to be notice to all of the Borrowers.

(ii) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by the failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any Borrower or any other obligor on any of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Borrower or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Borrower as a matter of law or equity. Each of the Borrowers agrees that the Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but, in each case, subject to Section 2.1.3, each Borrower hereby agrees that the joint and several obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following:

(A) Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Obligations and regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto;

(B) Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of, or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of any of, the Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Obligations;

(C) Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations; or any application of collections (including but not limited to collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Obligations entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, or if any collections are applied to Obligations, any application to particular Obligations;

(D) Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination, subordination, compromise, release, surrender, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights, or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any of them, or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any of them, or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Obligations. As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security” for the Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;

(E) Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of, any Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Person; or any action taken or election made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code), any Borrower or any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

(F) Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Obligations; or

(G) Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of, any Borrower, as a guarantor or a surety of the Obligations, excepting only Payment in Full of the Obligations.

(iii) Each of the Borrowers hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in this Section 2.13. Without limitation and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives each of the following:

(A) Except as otherwise required under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all notices, disclosures and demand of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against any Borrower, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in this Section 2.13; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of any Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or

any of the Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Obligations; and any notice of any information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Borrower or any other Person;

(B) Any right to any marshalling of assets; any right to the filing of any claim against any other Borrower in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding in respect of the Obligations (other than to preserve such claim), or to the exercise against any other Borrower any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person, in each case, until Payment in Full of the Obligations; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Borrower or any other Person receive notice of any such acceptance;

(C) Any defense or other right arising by reason of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including but not limited to anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, or any of them, to seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Obligations; and

(D) Any and all defenses it may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of Collateral or the like.

(iv) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations], all Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of any Obligation by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearances granted by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any Borrower, failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower or any other Person, the release by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower or any other Person, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any other Person or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses.

2.14 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly agrees that it will not exercise any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to any other Borrower’s property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Until Payment in Full, each Borrower agrees not to file of any claim against any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding in respect of the Obligations (other than to preserve such claim), or to the exercise against any Borrower or any other Person any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Obligations.

2.15 Extension Amendments. (i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any amendments and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date of the relevant conversion), the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments then in existence selected by the Borrowers (the “Reference Revolving Credit Commitments”) be converted to extend the maturity date thereof and maturity date of the Revolving Credit Loans made thereunder (the “Reference Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms permitted by this Section 2.15 (any portion thereof that have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans” and the remainder not so extended, “Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and “Non-Extended Revolving Credit Loans,” respectively). Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Reference Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender who has Reference Revolving Credit Commitments) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the terms of the proposed Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Reference Revolving Credit Commitments, except for “Section 2.15 Additional Agreements” (as hereinafter defined) or as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.15 and except (a) the final maturity date of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the maturity date of Extended Revolving Credit Loans may be delayed to a later date than the final maturity date of the applicable Reference Revolving Credit Commitment from which they were converted, (b) the interest rate and upfront or other fees of the Extended Revolving Credit Loans may be higher or lower than the Reference Revolving Credit Loans and (c) the commitment fee rate and/or Letter of Credit fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for the Reference Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15 or otherwise, until the occurrence of the Revolving Credit Expiration Date for the Reference Revolving Credit Commitments, the borrowing of Extended Revolving Credit Loans under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings of Non-Extended Revolving Credit Loans (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include

technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its discretion). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Reference Revolving Credit Commitments or Reference Revolving Credit Loans converted into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request.

(i) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Lenders are requested to respond (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Reference Revolving Credit Commitments converted into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (such notice to be in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request (which shall in any event be no less than three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Extension Agreement) of the amount of its Reference Revolving Credit Commitments that it has elected to convert into Extended Loans/Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of the applicable Reference Revolving Credit Commitments subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the applicable Extended Loans/Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the applicable Reference Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Loans/Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the applicable Reference Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Reference Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be treated identically to all Reference Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of Letters of Credit under Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility], except that the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the applicable Issuing Lender has consented to such extensions.

(ii) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any amendments and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date that such Extended Loans/Commitments are established), Extended Loans/Commitments may be established pursuant to a supplement (which shall set forth the effective date of such extension) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated below, shall require the consent only of the Lenders who elect to make the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of their discretion (each, an “Extension Agreement”) executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. Any Extension Agreement may provide for additional terms (other than those referred to or contemplated in this Section 2.15 or in the form of the Extension Request or Extension Agreement (each, an “Section 2.15 Additional Agreement”)) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that no such Section 2.15 Additional Agreement shall become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.15 Additional Agreement has been consented to by such of the Lenders,

Borrowers and other parties (if any) as would be required (including, without limitation, under the requirements of Section 11.1[Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]) if such Section 2.15 Additional Agreement were a separate and independent amendment of this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Extension Agreement relating to Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans is entered into, the following provisions of this Section 2.15(iv) shall apply to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans while any Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments remain outstanding. Any voluntary reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments (whether or not accompanied by a prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans) shall be applied among the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments of all Classes pro rata to the amounts of Revolving Credit Commitments thereof; provided that, the Borrowers may elect to reduce Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (on a pro rata basis among Non-Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) prior to reducing any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (a “Specified Commitment Reduction”). In connection with any Specified Commitment Reduction, the Borrowers shall prepay Non-Extended Revolving Credit Loans to the extent required by Section 2.4 [Termination, Reduction or Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments]). If the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] are satisfied at the time, such prepayment may be made with the proceeds of Extended Revolving Credit Loans to be made concurrently therewith.

(iv) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the applicable Borrowers as may be necessary or advisable in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 and/or to appropriately reflect the different Classes, including (if applicable) any different economic terms thereof. All such amendments entered into with the applicable Borrowers by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on all Lenders.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no extension of the maturity date of any Loan shall be effective unless approved by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

SECTION 3.
INCREMENTAL FACILITIES

3.1 Incremental Commitments. (i) The Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request, from time to time (a) the extension of one or more new term loan commitments or one or more increases in any existing term loan commitments (any such new or increased term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Commitment”) and (b) the extension of one or more new Revolving Credit Commitments or one or more increases in the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such new or increased Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment”), in an aggregate amount (with respect to both Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments) not to exceed $100,000,000. Each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than

$5,000,000 and integral multiples thereof (or such lesser amount and/or multiples as may be agreed by the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent). Each notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall specify (I) the date (the “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the proposed Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date in which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), (II) the total of the Incremental Commitments requested by the Borrowers and (III) the identity of the banks, financial institutions and other entities to whom the Borrowers propose that any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations, which banks, financial institutions or other entities may or may not be existing Lenders but who shall be Eligible Assignees. Any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment. Any proposed new Lender shall enter into a joinder or other agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel (such additional Eligible Assignees becoming Lenders and any existing Lenders providing an Incremental Commitment, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”).

(i) Conditions. An Incremental Commitment shall become effective, as of the Increase Effective Date specified therefor; provided, that:

(a) each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] shall be satisfied;

(b) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom or from the borrowings to be made on such Increase Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof;

(c) with respect to any Incremental Term Commitment only, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 8.2.15 [Maximum Leverage Ratio] on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the establishment of such Incremental Term Commitment, the incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder and any substantially concurrent use of the proceeds thereof, as if incurred on the last day of the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.3.1 [Quarterly Financial Statements] or 8.3.2 [Annual Financial Statements];

(d) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Incremental Commitment, including a certificate dated the Increase Effective Date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrowing Agent certifying that all the requirements set forth in this clause (ii) have been satisfied and including (if applicable) reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating satisfaction of the requirement set forth in clause (c) immediately above; and

(e) the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Loan Lender

shall have consented to any Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld).

(ii) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and conditions of Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Commitment shall be identical to the terms and conditions of (a) with respect to an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, the existing Revolving Credit Loans, and (b) with respect to an Incremental Term Commitment, if applicable, any existing term loans (including in each case as to pricing and maturity, other than any upfront fees including upfront commitment, underwriting, syndication or other fees), and, with respect to Incremental Term Loans, other than amortization and (x) with respect to Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, shall be part of the same class of Loans and borrowings as the existing Revolving Credit Loans and (y) with respect to any Incremental Term Loans, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent, shall be part of the same Class of Loans and borrowings as the existing term loans (if any). Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions of Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Term Commitment shall be as agreed upon by the Borrowers, the Incremental Lenders making such Incremental Term Commitments, and the Administrative Agent.

(iii) Adjustment of Revolving Credit Loans. In the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, on the Increase Effective Date, the Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Credit Loans (together with any amounts due under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] as a result of such payment) of each of the Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment prior to the Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”) and reborrow a like amount of Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders (including any new Lender providing an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment), according to their new Ratable Shares after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent may, to the extent the Administrative Agent considers it practicable, net payments to and borrowings from the same Lender. In addition, on the Increase Effective Date for any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, each of the Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders shall automatically and without any further action by any party be deemed to have assigned to the Lenders which are acquiring Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”), and the Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders will automatically and without any further action by any party be deemed to have assumed and purchased from the Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders, such participation interests in the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such deemed assignments and assumptions, the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be held by each Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lender and each Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lender ratably in accordance with its Ratable Share after giving effect to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.

(iv) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which Incremental Term Commitments become effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrowers (or a subset thereof, as determined by the

Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment.

(v) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably in right of payment from the guarantees and security interests created under the Loan Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the security interests granted under the Loan Documents continue to be perfected after giving effect to the establishment of any such Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments.

(vi) Amendment to Loan Documents - Incremental Facilities. The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to any Loan Document (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to appropriately include any credit commitments or extensions contemplated by this Section 3.1, including to provide that any Incremental Loans shall share in the optional and mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions on the same basis as the then outstanding Loans of an applicable Class and for the amortization of any Incremental Term Loans. Each Incremental Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, 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 Borrowing Agent (an “Accession Agreement”)and Schedule 1.1(B) shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement.

SECTION 4.
INTEREST RATES

4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by them from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than eight (8) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrowers may not request, convert to, or renew the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. Interest on the principal amount of each Optional Currency Loan shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Optional Currency.

4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate. The Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

(ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum equal to the Euro-Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], interest on each Swing Loan shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the Daily LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Rate Loans.

4.1.2 Rate Calculations; Rate Quotations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Daily LIBOR Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees] or this Section 4.1, all other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Optional Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. The Borrowers may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrowing Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by delivering a Loan Request to the Administrative Agent (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option with respect to an Optional Currency Loan. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:

4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the respective amounts set forth in Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests]; and

4.2.2 Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

4.2.3 No Conversion of Optional Currency Loans. No Optional Currency Loan may be converted into a Loan with a different Interest Rate Option, or a Loan denominated in a different Optional Currency.

4.3 Interest After Default.

4.3.1 Interest Rate. To the extent permitted by Law, if any principal of or interest on any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 4.1.1 [Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Etc.] or 2.6.6 [Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreement], as the case may be. In addition, at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or at the written request of the Required Lenders and whether or not any principal or interest of any Loan has not been paid when due, all Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in Section 4.1.1 [Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Etc.] or 2.6.6 [Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreement], as the case may be (after as well as before judgment). For the sake of clarity, during the existence of an Event of Default specified under Section 9.1.12 [Relief Proceedings], any principal of or interest on any Loan shall automatically bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 4.1.1 [Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Etc.] or Section 2.6.6 [Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreement], as the case may be.

4.3.2 Letter of Credit Fees and Other Obligations. To the extent permitted by Law, at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or at the written request of the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent, (i) the Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be increased by 2.0% per annum and (ii) each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is Paid in Full (after as well as before judgment). For the sake of clarity, during the existence of an Event of Default specified under Section 9.1.12 [Relief Proceedings], the Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] and each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall automatically bear interest at the rate per annum specified in clause (i) or (ii) (as applicable) in the immediately preceding sentence.

4.3.3 Acknowledgment. The Borrowers acknowledge that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand by Administrative Agent.

4.4 Rates Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available; Optional Currency Not Available.

4.4.1 Unascertainable. If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the Relevant Interbank Market relating to the Euro-Rate,

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.4 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs. If at any time:

(i) any Lender shall have determined that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(ii) the Required Lenders shall have determined that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate applies has been made impracticable by compliance by such Lenders in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(iii) any Lender shall have determined that such Euro-Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

(iv) any Lender shall have determined that after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or in the Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan to which a Euro-Rate applies, are not available to such Lender, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, or

(v) the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Official Body has asserted that is unlawful, for it to (A) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to a Foreign Borrower, (B) fund or maintain its participation in any Loan to a Foreign Borrower or (C) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest or fees with respect to any Loan to or Letter of Credit for the account of a Foreign Borrower,

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.4 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

4.4.3 Optional Currency Not Available. If at any time the Administrative Agent shall have determined, or the Required Lenders shall have notified the Administrative Agent in writing that they have determined, that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Optional Currency (including, without

limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), then (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of any such determination, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.4 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

4.4.4 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] or 4.4.3 [Optional Currency Not Available] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowing Agent thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], such Lender or Lenders shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowing Agent. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender or Lenders, in the case of such notice given by such Lender or Lenders, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select an Optional Currency, as applicable, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowing Agent, or such Lender or Lenders shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or Lenders’, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of their selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender or Lenders notify the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of such Lender or Lenders to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable, convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or (to the extent available to such Borrower or Borrowers) select a different Optional Currency or Dollars; provided that, any Optional Currency Loan converted to the Base Rate Option shall be converted to Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loan, or (ii) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date. If the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.3 [Optional Currency Not Available] then, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowing Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) the availability of Loans in the affected Optional Currency shall be suspended, (ii) the outstanding Loans in such affected Optional Currency shall be converted into Dollar Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such outstanding Optional Currency Loans) (x) on the last day of the then current Interest Period if the Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain Loans in such Optional Currency to such day, or (y) immediately if

the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain Loans in such Optional Currency, and interest thereon shall thereafter accrue at the Base Rate Option.

4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Domestic Borrowers fail to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Domestic Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the applicable Foreign Borrower(s) fail to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], such Foreign Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option in U.S. Dollars commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period, and such currency conversion to U.S. Dollars shall be determined by the Administrative Agent at the time of such conversion.

4.6 Successor Euro-Rate Index.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a) (I) the circumstances set forth in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (II) the circumstances set forth in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of a Euro-Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the Euro-Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in Dollars or an Optional Currency (either such date, a “Euro-Rate Termination Date”), or (b) a rate other than the Euro-Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in U.S. Dollars or an Optional Currency in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent may (in consultation with the Borrowing Agent) choose a replacement index for the Euro-Rate in respect of Loans in Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency, as the case may be, and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Euro-Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

(ii) The Administrative Agent and the Borrowing Agent shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 11.1 [Modification, Amendments or Waivers]), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such fifth (5^th)

Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(iii) Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (a) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a Euro-Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (b) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the Euro-Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the Euro-Rate Rate and the replacement index.

(iv) Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 4.6 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Loan under a Euro-Rate Option will continue to bear interest with reference to the Euro-Rate; provided however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a Euro-Rate Termination Date has occurred, then following the Euro-Rate Termination Date, all Loans as to which the Euro-Rate Option would otherwise apply shall automatically be converted to (a) if such Loan is in Dollars, the Base Rate Option and (b) if such Loan is in an Optional Currency to which such Euro-Rate Termination Date applies, a Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option, in each case, until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars (or, with respect to Optional Currency Loans, at the Principal Office or, if directed by the Administrative Agent, at such other office of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall so direct) and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in Dollars, or the

Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional Currency or Available LC Foreign Currency (as the case may be), with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account stated”. All payments of principal and interest made in respect of the Loans must be repaid in the same currency (whether Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency) in which such Loan was made and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be made in the same currency (whether Dollars or the applicable Available LC Foreign Currency) in which such Letter of Credit was issued. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account with the Administrative Agent of any respective Borrower obligated on such amount.

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lenders’ fronting fees) shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Sections 4.4.4 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender], 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC according to Section 2.6.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].

5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowing Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, with 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 the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in an Optional Currency or Available Foreign LC Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

5.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.7 [Currency Fluctuation] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Revolving Credit Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

5.6 Voluntary Prepayments.

5.6.1 Right to Prepay. The Borrowers shall have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, the Borrowing Agent shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, and at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Optional Currency Loans, or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:

(w) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(x) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;

(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans and Optional Currencies to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and the Borrower(s) of the applicable Loans; and

(z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans outstanding and (ii) $100,000 for any Swing Loan or $500,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrowers in conjunction with a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in full delivered pursuant to Section 2.4 [Termination, Reduction or Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments] and payment of all of the Loans then outstanding may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt or equity issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 4.4.4 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], (a) if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fail to specify which Borrower(s) borrowed such Loan, the Administrative Agent may, to the extent such Loans are in Dollars, assume that the applicable Borrower(s) are the Domestic Borrower(s) and (b) if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fail to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied, to the extent consistent with which Borrowers’ Loans are being prepaid, first to the Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Revolving Credit Loans which are not Optional Currency Loans, then to Optional Currency Loans, then to Swing Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]. Prepayments shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent.

5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 8.1.12(iii) [Additional Collateral; Joinder of Subsidiaries], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrowers may, at their sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In connection with any such assignment, each party hereto agrees that any such assignment required pursuant to this Section 5.6.2 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by the Borrowing Agent, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

5.6.3 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrowers are or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowing Agent) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or

booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment

5.7 Currency Fluctuations. (i) If on any Computation Date the Revolving Facility Usage is equal to or greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies or Available LC Foreign Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of the same. The Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Loans (subject to Borrowers’ indemnity obligations under Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] and 5.10 [Indemnity]) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such payments or prepayments. If on any Computation Date the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans made to and Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Foreign Borrowers is equal to or greater than the Foreign Borrower Sublimit as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies or Available LC Foreign Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of the same. The Foreign Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Loans (subject to Borrowers’ indemnity obligations under Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] and 5.10 [Indemnity]) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans made to and Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Foreign Borrowers shall not exceed the Foreign Borrower Sublimit after giving effect to such payments or prepayments;

(i) All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall, to the extent consistent with which Borrower(s) are prepaying such Loans, first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans denominated in Dollars and subject to a Euro-Rate Option, then to the Optional Currency Loans, with payment on Euro-Rate Loans being applied in the direct order of maturity. In accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, excluding loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.8 Increased Costs.

5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement, which is addressed separately in this Section 5.8) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Relevant Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

5.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

5.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowing Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

5.8.5 Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan under the Euro-Rate Option equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement under Regulation D or under any similar, successor or analogous requirement of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans under the Euro-Rate Option, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that in each case the Borrowing Agent shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice thirty (30) days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice.

5.9 Taxes.

5.9.1 Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lenders and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

5.9.2 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with

applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.9 [Taxes]) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

5.9.3 Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

5.9.4 Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.9 [Taxes]) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body; provided that, (x) a Foreign Borrower shall only be responsible for Indemnified Taxes attributable to Loans to such Foreign Borrower (or, in the case of General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK, also any of the other Foreign Borrowers) and (y) the Loan Parties shall not indemnify any Recipient under this Section 5.9.4 to the extent such Recipient has otherwise been compensated for such Indemnified Tax under this Section 5.9. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowing Agent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.9.5 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations] 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 Official Body. 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 such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.9.5 [Indemnification by the Lenders].

5.9.6 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes], such Loan Party shall

deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

5.9.7 Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than (x) such documentation required under Sections 5.9.9 through 5.9.13 to be provided by a Lender to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent to enable a payment under any Loan Document to be made without any deduction or withholding, or at a reduced rate of withholding, for or on account of Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom and (y) such documentation set forth in Section 5.9.7(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

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

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

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E

establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(A) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(B) or Exhibit 5.9.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(D) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and

withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

5.9.8 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes] (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes]), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made under this Section 5.9 [Taxes] with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds], in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

5.9.9 Treaty Lenders. A Lender and each Loan Party shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Loan Party to obtain and maintain authorization to make that payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom, which shall include (without limitation) where the Lender is a Treaty Lender, the completion by the Treaty Lender of any necessary procedural formalities for the applicable Borrower to obtain such authorization under the terms of an applicable Treaty, and where the Lender is a Treaty Lender which holds a passport under the H.M. Revenue & Customs Treaty Passport Scheme, the provision by the Treaty Lender to the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent of such Lender’s scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence.

5.9.10 Provision of Information. A Borrower and Lender shall each provide all reasonable information and assistance to the relevant Official Body on a timely basis in order to efficiently process the relevant treaty claim, and shall keep each other (through the

Administrative Agent) informed of any matters relating to such claim, including such Borrower providing a copy of any direction (or other authority) issued by H.M. Revenue & Customs authorizing such Borrower to pay free and clear of any withholding on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom.

5.9.11 Qualifying Lender Notice. A Lender which is a Qualifying Lender under paragraph (ii) of the definition of "Qualifying Lender" shall promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.

5.9.12 Lender Status Confirmation. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the relevant documentation which it executes on becoming a party as a Lender, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in (i) not a Qualifying Lender, (ii) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or (iii) a Treaty Lender.

5.9.13 Failure to Indicate Status. If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with Section 5.9.12 [Lender Status Confirmation], then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the Loan Parties) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrowing Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with Section 5.9.12 [Lender Status Confirmation].

5.9.14 VAT. All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any Loan Party to any Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant Official Body for the VAT, such Loan Party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT upon the receipt of an appropriate VAT invoice from the relevant Recipient. Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, such Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant Official Body. Any reference in this Section 5.9.14 [VAT] to a Loan Party or a Recipient shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term "representative member" to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

5.9.15 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.9 [Taxes] shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the

replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

5.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (excluding loss of margin, but including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), or any voluntary prepayment without the required notice,

(ii) attempt by any Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

(iii) assignment of such Lender’s Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies pursuant to Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor.

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowing Agent of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

5.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitments] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent may also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on any mandatory prepayment date as provided for herein and may at its option effect settlement

on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment].

5.12 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal lending procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

5.13 Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from the Borrowers to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal lending procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss.

Each of the Borrowers and each ERISA Affiliate have made all material required contributions to each Pension Plan subject to Sections 412 and 430 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Pension Plan.

The Loan Parties will use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans only in accordance with Section 2.8 [Use of Proceeds – Revolving Credit Facility] and as permitted by applicable Law.

8.1.8 Further Assurances.

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 8.1.10 shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full.

In addition to the foregoing, prior to any Subsidiary becoming a Loan Party, (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received on behalf of the Lenders such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, legal opinions (if requested by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in their reasonable discretion, (b) the Lenders shall have received reasonably satisfactory documentation and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act and (to the extent applicable) Certificates of Beneficial Ownership, (c) in the case of a Foreign Loan Party, each Lender shall have met all necessary regulatory and licensing requirements and internal policy requirements and shall be legally permitted to make loans or accept Guaranties in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Loan Party is organized and (d) in the case of a Foreign Borrower, lending to such Foreign Borrower will not cause any administrative or operational issues for any Lender.

102

or obtaining such legal opinions or other deliverables in respect of such assets, or providing such Guarantees (taking into account any adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers and their Affiliates (including the imposition of withholding or other material taxes)), shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom (collectively, the “Excluded Perfection Actions”). The Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any Guaranty by any Subsidiary (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Closing Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents.

The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates and participants under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates and participants may have.

SECTION 10.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 [The Administrative Agent] are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

123

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowing Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may 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. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance

124

of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Loan Party), 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.

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 [The Administrative Agent] shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowing Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrowing Agent (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which successor shall, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists at the time of appointment, be required to be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications above (to the extent applicable); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its

125

duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 [The Administrative Agent] and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as a retiring Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers, the Sole Bookrunner or the Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

10.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Parent (or an Affiliate thereof) and the Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

10.10 Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors. The Lenders and the Issuing Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release (i) any Collateral consisting of assets or equity interests sold or otherwise disposed of in a sale or other disposition or transfer permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Collateral Documents and any other Loan Document if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of or transferred to Persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties in a transaction permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions]

126

and (iii) all Collateral upon Payment in Full and, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly take such action and execute any such documents (in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent in connection with any such release, provided, that, to the extent expressly requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrowing Agent containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

10.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations], or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.8.5 [Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally] (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.8.4 [Participations] and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

132

11.8.2 Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender (“Existing Lender”) may at any time assign to one or more assignees (“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(H) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(I) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 11.8.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowing Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

(A) the consent of the Borrowing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of each Issuing Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the assignee, if it is not

133

a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to a Loan Party. No such assignment shall be made to a Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3 [Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the 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 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.8 [Increased Costs], and 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.8.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.8.4 [Participations].

11.8.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.8.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided 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 and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

134

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of Collateral or Guarantor]) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], 5.8 [Increased Costs], 5.10 [Indemnity] and 5.9 [Taxes] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.9.7 [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.9.7 [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of a Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowing Agent’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any 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.

1.1.2 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure

135

obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

11.9 Confidentiality.

11.9.1 General. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrowing Agent to the extent practicable and otherwise permitted by applicable Law), (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrowing Agent or (viii) to the extent such Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower or the other Loan Parties. In addition, the Administrative Agent may disclose to Gold Sheets usual and customary information necessary to ensure league table credit in connection with this Agreement, it being understood that tombstones referencing the syndication and arrangement of the Loans or inclusion of this Agreement on lists or in other formats, in each case providing the same information as is typically included on tombstones, shall not require prior notice thereof to, or acceptance by, any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to a Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such

136

Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General].

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

11.10.1 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 7 [Conditions Of Lending And Issuance Of Letters Of Credit], this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e‑mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Companies have or in the future may have liabilities, obligations or indebtedness owed to each other (the liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of each of the Companies to the Domestic Loan Parties, now existing or hereafter incurred (whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise), and interest and premiums, if any, thereon and other amounts payable in respect thereof, and all other obligations and other amounts payable by any Company to any other Company, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Intercompany Indebtedness”); and

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Lenders to maintain the Commitments and make Loans to or issue or participate in Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers from time to time are subject to the condition, among others, that the Companies subordinate the Intercompany Indebtedness to the Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Company to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other holders of the Obligations (collectively, together with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the “Secured Parties”) pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any agreement, document or instrument evidencing or entered into in connection with any Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedge, any Lender Provided Foreign Currency Hedge or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product (collectively, the “Senior Debt”) in the manner set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1.Intercompany Indebtedness Subordinated to Senior Debt. The recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference. All Intercompany Indebtedness shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior Payment in Full of all Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions contained herein.

2.Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. Upon any distribution of assets of any Company in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, examinership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any such Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any such Company (other than any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Company permitted under the Credit Agreement), whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities of any such Company (a Company distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to in such capacity as a “Distributing Company”), then and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties as their respective interests may appear, Payment in Full of all amounts due or to become due (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents, or any other documents or instruments evidencing the Senior Debt or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) on or in respect of any and all Senior Debt before the holder of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event.

3.No Commencement of Any Proceeding. Each Company agrees that, until Payment in Full, it will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in commencing, any proceeding referred to in Section 2 against any other Company that owes it any Intercompany Indebtedness (other than to preserve its claim).

4.Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Intercompany Indebtedness. If any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness that has a stated maturity date owed by any Company becomes or is declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then and in such event the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive Payment in Full of all amounts due and to become due on or in respect of the Senior Debt (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents, or any other documents or instruments evidencing the Senior Debt or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) before the holder of any such Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment thereon.

5.No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or an Event of Default or Potential Default would result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, shall have consented to or waived the same, so long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any Company owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on account of principal or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness.

6.Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Companies, at any time except during the pendency of any of the conditions described in Sections 2, 4 and 5, from making payments at any time of principal of or interest on any portion of or other payments with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness, or the retention thereof by any of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness or other payments due with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness.

7.Receipt of Prohibited Payments. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 2, 4, 5 and 6, a Company that is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a Distributing Company shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from the Distributing Company of any kind or character not permitted hereunder, whether in cash, property or securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties as their respective interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Company, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

8.Rights of Subrogation. Each Company agrees that no payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full.

9.Instruments Evidencing Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Company shall cause each instrument which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness to be conspicuously marked as follows:

“This instrument is subject to the terms of an Intercompany Subordination Agreement dated as of November 30, 2018 in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders referred to therein, which Intercompany

Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any contrary statement contained in the within instrument, no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest thereon shall become due or payable except in accordance with the express terms of said Intercompany Subordination Agreement.”

Each Company will further ▇▇▇▇ its books of account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice of the effect of this Agreement.

10.Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights. The purpose of this Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the Companies, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between any of the Companies and their creditors other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, the obligation of the Companies to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Companies and their creditors other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, nor shall anything herein prevent any of the Companies from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness.

11.No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Company or by any act or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, or by any non-compliance by any Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof with which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party may have or be otherwise charged. Each Company by its acceptance hereof shall agree that, until Payment in Full, such Company shall not agree to sell, assign, pledge or encumber the obligations of the other Companies with respect to their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than pursuant to the Loan Documents or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, none of the following shall impair or release the subordination provided in this Agreement: (i) any change to the manner, place or terms of payment, or the extension of the time of payment, renewal or alteration of the Senior Debt or other amendment or supplement to the Senior Debt, the Loan Documents or any other documents or instruments evidencing any Senior Debt; (ii) any sale, exchange or release of any of the property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii) any release of any person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of the other Secured Parties exercising or refraining from exercising any rights against any of the Companies and any other Person.

12.Additional Subsidiaries. The Companies covenant and agree that they shall cause each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party or is required to become a Loan Party pursuant to Section 8.1.12 [Additional Collateral; Joinder of Subsidiaries], to execute a Borrower Joinder or Guarantor Joinder, as applicable, whereby such Subsidiary joins this Agreement and subordinates all Indebtedness owed to any such Subsidiary by any of the Companies, including any other Joining Subsidiaries, to the Senior Debt.

13.Continuing Force and Effect. This Agreement shall continue in force until Payment in Full, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a continuing nature.

14.Modification, Amendments or Waivers. Any and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties hereunder, and any and all waivers of a Potential Default or Event of Default or any consents or other departures from the due performance of the Companies hereunder, shall be made only by written agreement, waiver or consent signed by the Administrative Agent, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent being effective to bind all the Lenders and the other Secured Parties.

15.Expenses. Subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement [Expenses; Indemnity; Damages Waiver] and subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations] of the Credit Agreement, the Companies unconditionally and jointly and severally agree upon demand to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties the amount of any and all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the other Secured Parties may incur in connection with the enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or the other Secured Parties hereunder.

16.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

17.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

The duties and obligations of the Companies may not be delegated or transferred by the Companies without the written consent of the Required Lenders and any such delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.

19.Joint and Several Obligations. Subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations] in the Credit Agreement, each of the obligations of each and every Company under this Agreement is joint and several. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to enforce this Agreement against any Company without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Company and such an election by the Administrative Agent shall not be a defense to any action the

Administrative Agent may elect to take against any Company. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby reserves all rights against each Company.

20.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

In the event any payments are received by the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement for application to the Senior Debt at any time when the Senior Debt has not been declared due and payable and prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, such payment shall constitute a voluntary prepayment of the Senior Debt for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.

7.No Stay. Without limitation of any other provision of this Guaranty, if any declaration of default or acceleration or other exercise or condition to exercise of rights or remedies under or with respect to any Guarantied Obligation shall at any time be stayed, enjoined, or prevented for

any reason (including but not limited to stay or injunction resulting from the pendency against any Borrower or any other Person of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding), the Guarantors agree that, for the purposes of this Guaranty and their obligations hereunder, the Guarantied Obligations shall be deemed to have been declared in default or accelerated, and such other exercise or conditions to exercise shall be deemed to have been taken or met.

8.Reserved.

9.Notices. Each Guarantor agrees that all notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications under this Guaranty shall be given to such Guarantor at the address set forth on a Schedule to, or in a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement given under, the Credit Agreement and in the manner provided in Section 11.5 [Notices, Effectiveness, Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties may rely on any notice (whether or not made in a manner contemplated by this Guaranty) purportedly made by or on behalf of a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties shall have no duty to verify the identity or authority of the Person giving such notice.

10.Counterparts; Telecopy Signatures. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by telecopy or e‑mail to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Guarantor shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty by such Guarantor.

11.Setoff, Default Payments by Borrowers.

(i)In the event that at any time any obligation of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty shall have become due and payable, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, shall have the right from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor (except as set forth below), to set off against and apply to such due and payable amount any obligation of any nature of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or any subsidiary or affiliate of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, to any Guarantor, including but not limited to all deposits (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, however evidenced) now or hereafter maintained by any Guarantor with the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party. Subject to the terms hereof, such right shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances and, without limitation, shall exist whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, or any of them, shall have given any notice or made any demand under this Guaranty or under such obligation to any Guarantor, whether such obligation to any Guarantor is absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, may deem such obligation to be then due and payable at the time of such setoff), and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty, or other direct or indirect security or right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties under this Section are in addition to such other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff and banker's lien) which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other

Secured Parties, or any of them, may have, and nothing in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document or Other Document shall be deemed a waiver of or restriction on the right of setoff or banker's lien of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any affiliate or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party and any holder of a participation in any Obligation, shall have the same rights of setoff as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties as provided in this Section (regardless whether such affiliate or participant otherwise would be deemed a creditor of the Guarantor). Each Lender and other Secured Party agrees to notify the applicable Guarantor and the Administrative Agent agrees to notify the Borrowing Agent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(ii)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any default under any Guarantied Obligation, if any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor by or for the account of any Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations when due and payable.

12.Construction. The section and other headings contained in this Guaranty are for reference purposes only and shall not affect interpretation of this Guaranty in any respect. This Guaranty has been fully negotiated between the applicable parties, each party having the benefit of legal counsel, and accordingly neither any doctrine of construction of guaranties or suretyships in favor of the guarantor or surety, nor any doctrine of construction of ambiguities in agreements or instruments against the party controlling the drafting thereof, shall apply to this Guaranty.

13.Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them (and any successive assignee or transferee), from time to time may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or any portion of any commitment to extend credit), any Other Document or any other Guarantied Obligations, to any other person and such Guarantied Obligations (including any Guarantied Obligations resulting from extension of credit by such other Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents and/or the Other Documents) shall be and remain Guarantied Obligations entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty, and to the extent of its interest in such Guarantied Obligations such other Person shall be vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in this Guaranty or otherwise.

14.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i)Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER SEUCRED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENTAGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(B)EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

(D)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE

OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

15.Severability; Modification to Conform to Law.

(i)The provisions of this Guaranty are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

(ii)Without limitation of the preceding subsection (a), to the extent that applicable Law (including applicable Laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent or preferential transfer) otherwise would render the full amount of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder invalid, voidable, or unenforceable on account of the amount of a Guarantor's aggregate liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party or such Guarantor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding, which (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) may be an amount which is equal to the greater of:

(A)the fair consideration actually received by such Guarantor under the terms and as a result of the Loan Documents and Other Documents and the value of the benefits described in Section 18(b) hereof, including (and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable federal and state laws affecting the enforceability of guaranties) distributions, commitments, and advances made to or for the benefit of such Guarantor with the proceeds of any credit extended under the Loan Documents and the Other Documents, or

(B)the excess of (A) the amount of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty as determined in accordance with applicable federal and state Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof, over (B) the amount of all liabilities of such Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty, also as determined on the basis of applicable federal and state Laws governing the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Guaranty to enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by Law) were not a part of this Guaranty, and in any related litigation the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Guarantor's obligations hereunder as to each element of such assertion.

16.Additional Guarantors. At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent, additional Persons may become parties to this Guaranty and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Guarantors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to the Credit Agreement. No notice of the addition of any Guarantor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Guarantor. Each

Guarantor hereby consents to the joinder of new Guarantors and affirms that its obligations shall continue hereunder undiminished.

17.Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations and additional liabilities of the Guarantors under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors, and each Guarantor hereby waives to the full extent permitted by Law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not joint and several. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers and those set forth below serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to make the Loans and other extensions of credit, and that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents and the Other Documents. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, may, in their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Guaranty against any Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Guarantor and such an election by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, may elect to take against any Guarantor. Each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent hereby reserve all rights against each Guarantor.

18.Guaranty Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Guaranty to the contrary, this Guaranty does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this Guaranty constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and, with respect to any and each other additional Persons which become party to this Guaranty, is subject to any limitations set out in the Guarantor Joinder applicable to such Guarantor.

19.Receipt of Credit Agreement, Other Loan Documents, Benefits.

(i)Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Guarantor certifies that the representations and warranties made therein with respect to such Guarantor are true and correct (i) in the case of representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in all respects and (ii) otherwise, in all material respects (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date are true and correct, in the case of such representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in all respects, and otherwise in all material respects, as of such earlier date). Further, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees to perform, comply with, and be bound by all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Documents to which it is a party.

(ii)Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives direct and indirect benefits and synergistic benefits by virtue of its affiliation with the Borrowers and the other Guarantors and that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that such benefits, together with the rights of contribution and subrogation that may arise in connection herewith are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for providing this Guaranty.

20.Miscellaneous.

(i)Amendments, Waivers, No Implied Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure

by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless in a writing manually signed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or failure of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, or any of them, in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties under this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement or instrument, by law, or otherwise.

(ii)Telecommunications. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any individual making any telecopy or telephonic notice, request, or signature without the necessity of receipt of any verification thereof.

(iii)Expenses. Each Guarantor (i) unconditionally agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the other Secured Parties in enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor and (ii) shall pay and indemnify each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so under Section 11.3.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(iv)Prior Understandings. This Guaranty and the Credit Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements.

(v)Survival. All representations and warranties of the Guarantors made in connection with this Guaranty shall survive, and shall not be waived by, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, any investigation by or knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, any extension of credit or any other event or circumstance whatsoever (other than Payment in Full).

21.Termination; Release. (a) Upon Payment in Full, this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(b) If the Equity Interest of any Guarantor shall be sold or otherwise Disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and as a result thereof such Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary of the Borrowing Agent, then such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder without any action by any party hereto and, at the reasonable request of the Borrowing Agent and at the expense of the Borrowing Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, within a commercially reasonable period of time, execute and deliver to the Borrowing Agent any releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence such release.

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (as it may hereafter from time to time be amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) of even date herewith by and among the Parent, GENERAL PHYSICS (UK) LIMITED, a company organized and existing under the law of England and Wales with company number 03424328 (“General Physics UK”), GP STRATEGIES HOLDINGS LIMITED, a company organized and existing under the law of England and Wales with company number 06340333 (“GP Holdings UK”), GP STRATEGIES LIMITED, a company organized and existing under the law of England and Wales with company number 08003789 (“GP Strategies Limited”), and GP STRATEGIES TRAINING LIMITED, a company organized and existing under the law of England and Wales with company number 08003851 (“GP Strategies Training UK”; together with the Parent, General Physics UK, GP Holdings UK and GP Strategies Limited, each a “Borrower” and collectively the “Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, the lenders now or hereafter party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Guarantors now or hereafter party thereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”), the Lenders have agreed to make loans to the Borrowers and issue or participate in letters of credit issued for the account of the Borrowers on the terms provided therein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:


1.	Defined Terms.

Where applicable and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, terms used herein (whether or not capitalized) shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in New York as amended from time to time (the “Code”).

(b)“Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights” shall mean and include all of each Pledgor’s present and future right, title and interest in and to all of the following: (i) all trade names, (ii) all

patent applications, patents and patent licenses, (iii) all trademark applications (other than any intent to use trademark applications until such time as such Pledgor begins to use such trademark), trademarks and trademark licenses, (iv) all copyright applications, copyrights and copyright licenses; whether now owned or hereafter acquired by each Pledgor, including, without limitation, those listed on Schedule A hereto, including all proceeds thereof (such as, by way of example, license royalties and proceeds of infringement suits), the right to ▇▇▇ for past, present and future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and continuations-in-part thereof, and the goodwill of the business to which any of the patents, trademarks and copyrights relate; provided, however, that the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights shall not include any Excluded Collateral.

(c)“Secured Obligations” means and includes all now existing and hereafter arising Obligations (and including Obligations arising or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, any other Pledgor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or which would have arisen or accrued but for the commencement of such proceeding, even if the claim for such Obligations is not enforceable or allowable in such proceeding), including, without limitations, all Obligations of any Borrower and each and every other Pledgor and other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedge (or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith), any Lender Provided Foreign Currency Hedge (or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith) or any Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product (or any documents or instruments executed in connection therewith), together with any extensions, renewals, replacements or refundings thereof, and all costs and expenses of enforcement and collection, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, the Secured Obligations shall not include any Excluded Hedge Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, (a) the Secured Obligations shall not include any Excluded Hedge Liabilities, (b) the “Secured Obligations” of each Pledgor that is a Foreign Borrower (other than General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK) shall exclude all “Secured Obligations” of any Loan Party other than such Pledgor, and (c) the “Secured Obligations” of General Physics UK and GP Holdings UK shall exclude all “Secured Obligations” of any Loan Party other than such Pledgor and any other Foreign Borrower.

(d)“Secured Parties” shall mean the collective reference to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other holders of the Secured Obligations.

2.To secure the full payment and performance of all Secured Obligations, each Pledgor hereby grants and conveys a security interest to the Administrative Agent in the entire right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to all of its Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights.

3.The Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given it by this Agreement and those rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement, those allowed by applicable Law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights may be located and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may immediately, without demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth below) or demand whatsoever to the Pledgors, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon, in a city that the Administrative Agent shall designate by notice to the Pledgors, in

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or elsewhere, the whole or from time to time any part of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, or any interest which any Pledgor may have therein and, after deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights all expenses (including fees and expenses for brokers and attorneys), shall apply the remainder of such proceeds toward the payment of the Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 9.2.4 of the Credit Agreement [Application of Proceeds]. Notice of any sale or other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights shall be given to the Pledgors at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public or private sale or other disposition of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights is to be made, which each Pledgor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. At any such sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or Secured Parties may, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, purchase the whole or any part of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights sold, free from any right of redemption on the part of the Pledgors, which right is hereby waived and released.

4.At such time as all of the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, this Agreement shall terminate and the Administrative Agent shall at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors execute and deliver to the Pledgors all deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to re-vest in the Pledgors full title to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and such releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made by the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. In addition, if any of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Pledgor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole cost and expense of such Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to such Pledgor such deeds, assignments and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to re-vest in such Pledgors full title to such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights and such releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby in such Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. For the sake of clarity, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to restrict any Pledgor’s rights to Dispose of any Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to the extent permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

5.Each Pledgor shall have the right, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to bring suit, action or other proceeding in its own name, and to join the Administrative Agent, if necessary, as a party to such suit so long as the Administrative Agent is satisfied that such joinder will not subject it to any risk of liability, to enforce the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and any licenses thereunder. Subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], each Pledgor shall, not less than thirty (30) days after demand, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent as a result of such suit or joinder by such Pledgor.

6.No course of dealing between any Pledgor and the Administrative Agent, nor any failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default.

7.All of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, whether established hereby or by the Credit Agreement or by any other agreements or by Law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have under the other Loan Documents, under any of the Secured Obligations (or under any documentation therefor) or by Law, and the Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option.

8.The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

9.This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto relating to a grant of a security interest in the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights by any Pledgor, except as expressly set forth in the Security Agreement. This Agreement is subject to waiver, modification, supplement or amendment only by a writing signed by the parties, except as provided in Paragraph 7 and Paragraph 28 hereof with respect to additions and supplements to Schedule A hereto.

10.The benefits and burdens of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties, provided, however, that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

11.This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York in accordance with the provisions of 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

12.EACH PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

13.EACH PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 12 HEREIN. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

14.EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.5 [NOTICES; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Pledgor:

a)Irrevocably appoints the Borrowing Agent as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before any courts in the United States in connection with any Loan Documents; and

b)Agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

If any Person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowing Agent (on behalf of all the Loan Parties) must immediately (and in any event within 10 Business Days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

15.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

16.This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail to the Administrative Agent

purporting to be signed on behalf of any Debtor shall be effective as delivery by such Pledgor of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

17.All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness, Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.

18.At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Agreement to the Administrative Agent, additional Persons may become parties to this Agreement and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Pledgors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Joinder or a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to the Credit Agreement and, in addition, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to the Administrative Agent with respect to such new Pledgor. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Pledgor and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s officers or employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney with power to sign the name of such Pledgor on all or any of the Security Documents which the Administrative Agent determines must be executed, filed, recorded or sent in order to perfect or continue perfected the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral in any jurisdiction; provided, however, such power of attorney shall not include and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have the power or authority to take, any Excluded Perfection Action. Such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full.

4.Representations and Warranties.

5.General Covenants.

Each Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)Such Pledgor shall do all reasonable acts that may be necessary and appropriate to maintain, preserve and protect the Pledged Collateral, except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement; such Pledgor shall be responsible for the risk of loss of, damage to, or destruction of the Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor, unless such loss is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable order.

(b)Such Pledgor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding of which such Pledgor is aware which could reasonably be expected to affect such Pledgor’s title to, or the Administrative Agent’s interest in, the Pledged Collateral or the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that with the written consent of the Administrative Agent such Pledgor may settle such actions or proceedings with respect to the Pledged Collateral;

(c)Such Pledgor shall, and shall cause each of the Companies to, keep separate, accurate and complete records of the Pledged Collateral, disclosing the Administrative Agent’s security interest hereunder;

6.Other Rights With Respect to Pledged Collateral.

In addition to the other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, at any time and from time to time, after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its option and at the expense of the Pledgors, may (a) transfer into its own name, or into the name of its nominee, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and thereafter the Administrative Agent may exercise all voting or other control rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral and receive all dividends or other distributors upon the Pledged Collateral, but no such transfer shall constitute a taking of such Collateral in satisfaction of any or all of the Secured Obligations unless the Administrative Agent expressly so indicates by written notice to the Pledgors; (b) take control of and manage all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) apply to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether any be due and payable or not, any moneys, including cash dividends and income from any Pledged Collateral, now or hereafter in the hands of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Secured Party, on deposit or otherwise, belonging to any Pledgor, as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine; and (d) do anything which any Pledgor is required but fails to do hereunder.

7.Additional Remedies Upon Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise, in addition to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable Law, and in addition to its rights under Section 6 above and under the other Loan Documents, the following rights and remedies:

(a)The Administrative Agent may, after ten (10) days’ advance notice to a Pledgor, sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days’ advance notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales of the Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests, investment property or ownership interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

(b)The proceeds of any collection, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, shall, after the Administrative Agent has made all deductions of expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with repossession, collection, sale or disposition of such Pledged Collateral or in connection with the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral, including in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether or not all the same be then due and payable, as set forth in Section 9.2.4 [Application of Proceeds] of the Credit Agreement. Each Pledgor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties any deficiency which may remain after such sale or collection.

8.Administrative Agent’s Duties.

The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any obligations or liabilities in respect of the Interests or otherwise with respect to the Companies, notwithstanding the grant of the security interest to the Administrative Agent and notwithstanding any exercising of any rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent at law or in equity with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

9.Additional Pledgors.

It is anticipated that additional Persons may from time to time become Guarantors, each of whom will be required to join this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that each such new Guarantor will become a Pledgor hereunder and will be bound hereby simply by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder. In addition, a new Schedule A hereto shall be provided to the Administrative Agent showing the pledge of the ownership interests in any such new Guarantor and (subject to the proviso at the end of the definition of the term “Pledged Collateral”) any ownership interests that such new Guarantor owns in any other Person. No notice of the addition of any Pledgor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby consents thereto.

10.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law and the Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power.

11.No Discharge Until Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

The pledge, security interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent, or any other obligor on any of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Pledgor or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Pledgor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby agrees that the pledge, security interests, and other Liens given by such Pledgor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following at any time and from time to time:

(a)Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations (or any other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith) and regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, any other documents or instruments executed in connection with the Secured Obligations, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;

(b)Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of any of the Secured Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with the Secured Obligations as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Secured Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with the Secured Obligations; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of any of the Secured Obligations, any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith;

(c)Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against such Pledgor or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Pledgor; or any application of collections (including collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Secured Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if any collections are applied to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured Obligations;

(d)Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination, release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations (including the Pledged Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security” for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option,

subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;

(e)Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate, partnership or limited liability company structure or existence, as applicable, of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; or any action taken or election (including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, any other Loan Party or by any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

(f)Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations (or any other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith); or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations (or any other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith);

(g)Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of a guarantor or a surety, including any Pledgor, excepting only full, strict Payment in Full.

12.Waivers.

Each Pledgor hereby waives any and all defenses (other than Payment in Full) which such Pledgor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on such Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor hereby further waives each of the following:

(a)All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Pledgor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding section hereof; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligations; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of such Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of any Borrower or any other Person;

(b)Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Pledgor or any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Pledgor or any Borrower, or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Pledgor receive notice of any such acceptance; and

(c)Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws, or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.

Each Pledgor agrees, until Payment in Full, not to file any claim against another Pledgor, any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding in respect of the Secured Obligations (other than to preserve such claim), or to exercise against another Pledgor, any Borrower or any other Person any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations.

13.Assignment.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and each Pledgor and each of its respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

14.Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

15.Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests or the remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

16.Notices.

All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively, “notices”) given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as set forth in Section 11.5. [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.

17.Specific Performance.

Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the other rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, because the Administrative Agent’s remedies at law for failure of such Pledgor to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the Administrative Agent’s rights, on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (i) to inspect the books and records related to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) to receive the various

notifications such Pledgor is required to deliver hereunder, (iii) to obtain copies of agreements and documents as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Collateral, (iv) to enforce the provisions hereof pursuant to which the such Pledgor has appointed the Administrative Agent such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, and (v) to enforce the Administrative Agent’s remedies hereunder, would be inadequate and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, such Pledgor agrees that each such provision hereof may be specifically enforced without the need to post a bond or other surety.

18.Voting Rights and Dividends and Distributions in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

So long as no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor may (a) receive all dividends and distributions upon, and all money and income pertaining to, the Pledged Collateral, and (b) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not exercise or will refrain from exercising any such voting and other consensual right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as the case may be, if such action would adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s rights to enforce this Agreement or to otherwise realize, exercise and enjoy the security interests, rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, in any material respect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition thereto, the Pledgors shall not vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any of the Companies to issue any stock, member interests, partnership interests or other equity securities, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of any nature or to issue any other securities, shares, capital stock, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock, member interests, partnership interests or other equity securities, member interests, partnership interests or other ownership interests of any nature of any such Company or to enter into any agreement or undertaking, in each case that would restrict the right or ability of: (i) such Pledgor to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral, except as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement or set forth on Schedule B hereto, subject in any case to the terms and conditions thereof and hereof, or (ii) the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral.

19.Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Service of Process.

EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND THE PLEDGORS AND EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 19. EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE COMPANIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

EACH PLEDGOR AND EACH OF THE COMPANIES IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.5 [NOTICES; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Pledgor and each of the Companies:

(a)Irrevocably appoints the Borrowing Agent as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before any courts in the United States in connection with any Loan Documents; and

(b)Agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Pledgor or Company, as applicable, of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

20.Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent or any Lender purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement by such Pledgor.

6.Intellectual Property Collateral.

(a)Each Debtor jointly and severally represents and warrants and covenants as of the date hereof that:

(i)each issued and registered Patent, Trademark and Copyright listed on Schedule A of that certain Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Parent, each other Person joined thereto from time to time as a pledgor, and the Administrative Agent (the “Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement”) is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part;

(ii)to the best of such Debtor’s knowledge, each issued and registered Patent, Trademark and Copyright is valid and enforceable;

(iii)such Debtor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to each of the issued and registered Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens;

(iv)no claim has been received by such Debtor that the use of any of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights does or may violate the rights of any third party; and

(v)as of the date hereof, such Debtor has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, except to the extent that it would not cause a Material Adverse Effect;

(vi)Schedule A of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement lists all United States patents, patent applications, trademark applications (other than any intent to use trademark applications), registered trademarks, registered copyrights or copyright applications in and to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights owned by each Debtor on the date hereof; and

(vii)Except as set forth in Schedule A of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement, and any non-exclusive licenses granted by the Pledgors in the ordinary course of business pursuant to service or similar agreements, on the date hereof, none of the patents, trademarks or copyrights in the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights are the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which a Debtor is the licensor or franchisor.

(b)Except to the extent it would not cause a Material Adverse Effect. each Debtor jointly and severally covenants that such Debtor shall continue to use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, except for those Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights that are hereafter allowed to lapse in accordance with subsection (h) below.

(c)Each of the obligations and additional liabilities of each and every Debtor under this Agreement are joint and several with the obligations of the other Debtors, and each Debtor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not joint and several, except such defense of Payment in Full. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver serves as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to make the Loans and other extensions of credit, and that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are relying on such waiver in entering into the Loan Documents and the other documents and instruments evidencing or relating to the other Secured Obligations. The undertakings of each Debtor hereunder secure the obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to enforce this Agreement against any Debtor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Debtor and such an election by the Administrative Agent shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent may elect to take against any Debtor. The Administrative Agent hereby reserves all rights against each Debtor.

(d)Each Debtor agrees that, until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, it will not enter into any agreement (for example, a license agreement) which is inconsistent with such Debtor’s obligations under this Agreement, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that such Debtor may license Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in the ordinary course of business without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

(e)If, before the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, any Debtor shall own any new trademarks or any new copyrightable or patentable inventions, or any patent application

or patent for any reissue, division, continuation, renewal, extension, or continuation in part of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright or any improvement on any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and such Debtor shall give to the Administrative Agent notice thereof in writing on a quarterly basis. Each Debtor and the Administrative Agent agree to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule A of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement to include any future United States patents, patent applications, trademark applications (other than any intent to use trademark applications), registered trademarks, registered copyrights or copyright applications and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto.

(f)If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Debtor hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may select in its exclusive discretion, as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the power to endorse such Debtor’s name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Administrative Agent to use the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, or to grant or issue, on commercially reasonable terms, any exclusive or nonexclusive license under the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to any third person, or necessary for the Administrative Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose, on commercially reasonable terms, of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to any third Person. Each Debtor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement.

(g)Subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all other documents relating hereto and the consummation of this transaction, the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes and filing fees in connection therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, counsel fees, maintenance fees, encumbrances, the protection, maintenance or preservation of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, or the defense or prosecution of any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, shall be borne and paid by the Debtors within ten (10) days of demand by the Administrative Agent, and if not paid within such time, shall be added to the principal amount of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the highest rate prescribed in the Credit Agreement.

(h)Each Debtor shall have the duty (a) to prosecute diligently (except as noted in the final sentence of this subsection (h)) any patent applications of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights necessary to the conduct of the Loan Parties’ business pending as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter until the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, and (b) to make application on unpatented but patentable inventions, and to preserve and maintain all rights in patent applications and patents, necessary to the conduct of the Loan Parties business, including without limitation the payment of all maintenance fees. Any expenses incurred in connection with such an application shall be borne by the Debtors. No Debtor shall abandon any Patent, Trademark and Copyright, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such Debtor determines in its reasonable business judgment that abandonment of such Patent, Trademark and Copyright is appropriate.

7.Preservation of Rights. Each Debtor assumes full responsibility for taking any and all necessary steps to preserve the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the other Secured Parties’ rights with respect to the Collateral against all Persons other than anyone asserting rights in respect of a Permitted Lien. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Administrative Agent either shall deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account or takes such action for that purpose as such Debtor shall request in writing, provided that such requested action will not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, impair the security interest in the Collateral created hereby or the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the other Secured Parties’ rights in, or the value of, the Collateral; provided, further, that such written request is received by the Administrative Agent in sufficient time to permit the Administrative Agent to take the requested action.

8.No Discharge Until Payment in Full. The pledge, security interests and other Liens and the obligation of each Debtor hereunder shall not be discharged until Payment In Full of the Secured Obligations. The pledge, security interests, and other Liens and the obligations of each Debtor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by any failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent, any Debtor or any other obligor on any of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Debtor or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Debtor as a matter of law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby consents to, and the pledge, security interests and other Liens given by such Debtor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by, any of the following at any time and from time to time:

(a)Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability, or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations and regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Secured Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Person with respect thereto;

(b)Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of the Secured Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Secured Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations;

(c)Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non-exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non-exercise, of any right or remedy against any Debtor or any other Person under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Debtor; or any application of collections (including collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect

security for the Secured Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, in preference to Secured Obligations or, if any collections are applied to Secured Obligations, any application to particular Secured Obligations;

(d)Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, supplement, termination, subordination, release, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations (including the Collateral). As used in this Agreement, “direct or indirect security” for the Secured Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;

(e)Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the existing structure or existence of, any Debtor or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Debtor or any other Person; or any action taken or election (including any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable law of any jurisdiction) made by the Administrative Agent or any Debtor or by any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

(f)Any defense (other than Payment in Full), setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Debtor or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Debtor or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations;

9.Waivers.

Each Debtor hereby waives any and all defenses (other than Payment in Full) which such Debtor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like and each Debtor hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding section hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor hereby further waives each of the following:

(a)All notices, disclosures and demands of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against such Debtor, including the following: any notice of any event or circumstance described in the immediately preceding section hereof; any notice required by any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Secured Obligations; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of any Debtor

or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any requirement pertaining to any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; and any notice or other information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of any Debtor or any other Person;

(b)Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against such Debtor or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against such Debtor or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations (other than to preserve such claim); any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Debtor receive notice of any such acceptance; and

(c)Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including anti-deficiency laws, “one action” laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent (including commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of the Collateral for any of the Secured Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency against any Debtor or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Secured Obligations.

Each Debtor agrees, until Payment in Full, not to file of any claim against another Debtor or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding in respect of the Secured Obligations (other than to preserve such claim), or to exercise against another Debtor or any other Person any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any other documents or instruments executed in connection with any of the Secured Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Secured Obligations.

10.Joint and Several. The Obligations and additional liabilities of the Debtors under this Agreement are joint and several obligations of the Debtors (subject to Section 2.1.3 [Nature of Obligations] of the Credit Agreement), and each Debtor hereby waives to the full extent permitted by law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not joint and several. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to make the Loans and any other extensions of credit to one or more Debtors, and that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Agreement or making any such extensions of credit. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to enforce this Agreement against any Debtor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Debtor and such an election by the Administrative Agent shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, or any of them,

may elect to take against any Debtor. Each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereby reserve all rights against each Debtor.

11.Preservation of Collateral. (a) At any time and from time to time whether or not an Event of Default then exists and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take such actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to attach, perfect, continue, preserve and protect the Administrative Agent’s, the Lenders’ and the other Secured Parties’ Prior Security Interest in or Lien on the Collateral. All liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the preceding sentence, shall be Secured Obligations and shall be paid by the Debtors to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties within thirty (30) days after demand;

(a)At any time and from time to time after an Event of Default exists and is continuing and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take such action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to (i) maintain, repair, protect and insure the Collateral, and/or (ii) perform, keep, observe and render true and correct any and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Debtors hereunder, and (iii) add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties within thirty (30) days after demand.

12.Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(a)The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code, and such other rights and remedies as may be provided by Law and/or set forth below, including without limitation to take over and collect all of any Debtor’s Receivables and all other Collateral, and to this end each Debtor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, as its irrevocable, true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with all necessary power and authority to (i) take possession immediately, with or without notice, demand, or legal process, of any of or all of the Collateral wherever found, and for such purposes, enter upon any premises upon which the Collateral may be found and remove the Collateral therefrom, (ii) require any Debtor to assemble the Collateral and deliver it to the Administrative Agent or to any place designated by the Administrative Agent at the Debtors’ expense, (iii) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Debtor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate, (iv) demand payment of the Receivables, (v) enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, (vi) exercise all of any Debtor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables, (vii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (viii) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Receivables, (ix) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, sell or assign the Receivables upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, (x) discharge and release the Receivables, (xi) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or Proceeds from any account debtor, (xii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in any Relief Proceeding or similar document against any account debtor, (xiii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables or other Collateral, (xiv) do all acts and things necessary, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill any Debtor’s obligations to the

Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents, any other document or instrument evidencing any Obligation or otherwise, (xv) endorse the name of any Debtor upon any check, Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Receivables or Inventory, (xvi) use any Debtor’s stationery and sign such Debtor’s name to verifications of the Receivables and notices thereof to account debtors, (xvii) access and use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment or computer hardware or software relating to the Receivables, Inventory, or other Collateral or proceeds thereof to which any Debtor has access, (xviii) demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, compromise and give acquittances for any and all Collateral, (xix) prosecute, defend or compromise any action, claim or proceeding with respect to any of the Collateral, and (xx) take such other action as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, including extending or modifying the terms of payment of any Debtor’s debtors. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Debtor hereby waives all claims of damages due to or arising from or connected with any of the rights or remedies exercised by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except claims for physical damage to the Collateral arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the power of attorney herein granted shall in no way be construed as to benefit a Debtor, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any powers granted hereunder for the benefit of a Debtor, and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent exercisable, exercise any and all powers granted hereunder for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent hereby accepts this power of attorney and all powers granted hereunder for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination thereof, with such notice as may be required by Law (it being agreed by the Debtors that, in the absence of any contrary requirement of Law, ten (10) days’ prior notice of a public or private sale of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Debtor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Debtor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations. Each Debtor waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in effect or hereafter enacted.

(c)Each Debtor, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Administrative Agent may request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or authorization of any other Official Body or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that in the event the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and/or the other Secured Parties shall exercise its rights hereunder or pursuant to the other

Loan Documents, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or vote, consent, operate, or take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral, such Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all applications, certificates, assignments and other documents that the Administrative Agent requests to facilitate such actions and shall otherwise promptly, fully, and diligently cooperate with the Administrative Agent and any other Persons in making any application for the prior consent or approval of any Official Body or any other Person to the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and/or the other Secured Parties of any and all rights relating to all or any of the Collateral. Furthermore, because each Debtor agrees that the remedies at law, of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the Lenders and/or the other Secured Parties, for failure of such Debtor to comply with this subsection (c) would be inadequate, and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Debtor agrees that this subsection (c) may be specifically enforced.

(d)The Administrative Agent may request, without limiting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties otherwise provided hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, that each Debtor do any of the following to the extent permitted by Law: (i) give the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties specific assignments of the Accounts of the Debtors after such Accounts come into existence, and schedules of such Accounts, the form and content of such assignment and schedules to be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in order to better secure the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, to the extent permitted by Law, enter into such lockbox agreements and establish such lockbox accounts as the Administrative Agent may require, all at the sole expense of the Debtors and shall direct all payments from all payors due to any Debtor, to such lockbox accounts.

13.Application of Proceeds. The Lien on and security interest in the Collateral granted to and created in favor of the Administrative Agent by this Agreement shall be for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each of the rights, privileges, and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise by Law with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent only for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and any of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof held or realized upon at any time by the Administrative Agent shall be applied as set forth in Section 9.2.4 [Application of Proceeds] of the Credit Agreement. Each Debtor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties for and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties any deficiency which may remain after such sale or collection.

14.Further Rights of Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent repossesses or seeks to repossess any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, then, during the continuance of such Event of Default, to the extent it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to store any Collateral on any premises of any Debtor, such Debtor hereby agrees to lease to the Administrative Agent on a month-to-month tenancy for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days at the Administrative Agent’s election, at a rental rate of One Dollar ($1.00) per month, the premises on which the Collateral is located, provided it is located on premises owned or leased by such Debtor and, if leased by such Debtor, such lease to the Administrative Agent is permitted under the applicable lease.

15.Termination; Release. (a) Upon Payment in Full, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and the Administrative Agent shall thereupon promptly return

to the Borrowing Agent or another Debtor such of the Collateral and such other documents delivered by any Debtor hereunder as may then be in the Administrative Agent’s possession, subject to the rights of third parties. Until such time, however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The pledge, security interests and other Liens hereunder shall be automatically released on any Collateral consisting of assets or Equity Interests sold or otherwise Disposed of to a Person who is not a Loan Party in a sale or other Disposition or transfer permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions] of the Credit Agreement, without any further action by any party.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise Disposed of by any Debtor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrowing Agent or such Debtor, shall, within a commercially reasonable period of time, execute and deliver to the Borrowing Agent or such Debtor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. In the event that any of the Equity Interests of any Debtor that is a Subsidiary of the Borrowing Agent shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and such Debtor shall no longer constitute a Subsidiary, then, at the request of the Borrowing Agent and at the sole expense of the Debtors, such Debtor shall be released from its obligations hereunder and, at the reasonable request of the Borrowing Agent and at the expense of the Debtors, the Administrative Agent shall, within a commercially reasonable period of time, execute and deliver to the Borrowing Agent any releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence such release.

16.No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any rights or remedies which it may otherwise have, and the Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option.

17.Notices. All notices, statements, requests and demands given to or made upon any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 11.5 [Notices; Effectiveness, Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.

18.Schedule A Information. Each Debtor represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, all information contained on Schedule A is accurate and complete and contains no omission or misrepresentation. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any changes in the information set forth thereon.

19.Reserved.

20.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and each Debtor and each of its respective successors and assigns, except that no Debtor may assign or transfer such Debtor’s obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

21.Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York in accordance with the provisions of 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

22.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

23.Jurisdiction.

(a)EACH DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY DEBTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(b)EACH DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 23. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

(c)EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.5 [NOTICES; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Loan Party:

1)Irrevocably appoints the Borrowing Agent as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before any courts in the United States in connection with any Loan Documents; and

2)Agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

(d)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

24.Additional Debtors. It is anticipated that additional Persons may from time to time become Debtors. No notice of the addition of any Debtor shall be required to be given to any pre-existing Debtor, and each Debtor hereby consents thereto.

25.Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as expressly provided in Section 24 with respect to additional Debtors, this Agreement may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Debtors.

26.Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings used in this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

27.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail to the Administrative Agent purporting to be signed on behalf of any Debtor shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement by such Debtor.
