RECITALS

Capitalized terms used in these Recitals shall have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in Section 1.01 hereof.

Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, including all schedules and exhibits thereto (as amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time, the Acquisition Agreement”) dated as of March 9, 2015 among Capitol Acquisition Corp. II (“Capitol”), the U.S. Borrower, Argo Expeditions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC Sub”), and Argo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Capitol intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) the Equity Interests of the U.S. Borrower.

In connection with the Acquisition, Merger Sub, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Capitol, will merge with and into the U.S. Borrower (the “Initial Merger”) with the U.S. Borrower remaining as the surviving corporation and immediately following the Initial Merger (the “Merger Date”), the U.S. Borrower shall merge with and into LLC Sub, a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Capitol (the “Subsequent Merger” and, together with the Initial Merger, the “Merger”) with LLC Sub remaining as the surviving entity, to be renamed ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Expeditions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Capitol.

The Investors in connection with the Merger will receive consideration comprised of (i) an aggregate amount not to exceed $90,000,000 in cash (including certain bonus amounts payable to management of the U.S. Borrower) (the “Seller Cash Consideration”) and (ii) Equity Interests in Capitol constituting approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Capitol (the “Seller Equity Consideration” and, together with the Seller Cash Consideration, the “Acquisition Consideration”). Upon consummation of the Acquisition, Capitol will change its name to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and will be publicly listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Borrowers will (i) repay certain existing Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (the “Existing Debt”) and (ii) pay amounts outstanding under the Profit Participation Rights Purchase Agreement and the Profit Participation Loan Purchase Agreement, and in connection therewith, effect the cancellation of warrants issued in connection with the Existing Junior Debt Facility, in case of clauses (i) and (ii), collectively in an aggregate amount not to exceed $113,500,000 (as such amount may increase from time to time pursuant to the Profit Participation Rights Purchase Agreement) (the transactions described in these clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to as the “Restructuring”).

The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders extend a certain term credit facility to the Borrowers to finance the Restructuring, repay certain of the existing Indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries and pay related fees, commissions and expenses.

The applicable Lenders have agreed to extend such credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

“U.S. Term Loan Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Lender, as of any date of determination, the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Term Loans of such Lender; provided, at any time prior to the making of the U.S. Term Loans, the U.S. Term Loan Exposure of any Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s U.S. Term Loan Commitment.

“U.S. Person” shall mean a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

“Voluntary Prepayment” shall mean a prepayment of principal of Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

“wholly owned Subsidiary” of any person shall mean a subsidiary of such person of which securities (except for directors’ or foreign nationals’ qualifying shares) or other ownership interests representing 100% of the Equity Interests are, at the time any determination is being made, owned, Controlled or held by such person or one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of such person or by such person and one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of such person.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such document as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law and (c) all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that if the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in Article VI or any related definition to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP occurring after the date of this Agreement on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the Required Lenders wish to amend Article VI or any related definition for such purpose), then the Borrowers’ compliance with such covenant 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 covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, (i) all leases of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries that are treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP on the Closing Date shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of the defined financial terms, including “Capital Lease Obligations”, regardless of any change to GAAP following the Closing Date which would otherwise require such leases to be treated as capital leases, provided that financial reporting shall not be affected hereby and (ii) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard or Accounting Standards Codification having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein.

SECTION 1.03. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “U.S. Term Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar U.S. Term Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “U.S. Term Loan Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar U.S. Term Loan Borrowing”).

SECTION 1.04. Certain Calculations. (a) For purposes of (i) determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10 or Pro Forma Compliance at any time or (ii) the calculation of any financial ratios or tests (including the Total Net Leverage Ratio) (collectively, the “Applicable Calculations”), the following shall apply except to the extent duplicative of any other adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.04 or to the extent duplicative of any expenses or charges otherwise added to Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, for such period, event or circumstance, as applicable, and except that when calculating actual compliance (and not Pro Forma Compliance) with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10 and calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of Section 2.13(c) or the definition of “Applicable Rate” the events described in this Section 1.04 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given Pro Forma Effect.

(b) If any Subject Transaction (other than Subject Transactions covered by Section 1.04(c)) shall have occurred during the applicable Test Period or (other than with respect to determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10) subsequent to such Test Period (as hereinafter defined), the Applicable Calculations shall be calculated with respect to such period giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subject Transaction, as if they had occurred on the first day of the Test Period.

(c) In the event that the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases, retires, extinguishes or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the Test Period for which the Applicable Calculations are being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the Applicable Calculations are being calculated occurs or as of which the calculation is otherwise made (the “Pro Forma Calculation Date”), then the Applicable Calculations will be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement, extinguishment or other discharge of Indebtedness, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period, provided that in calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the Pro Forma Calculation Date or the last day of the Test Period, the amount of outstanding Indebtedness shall be calculated based upon the amount outstanding as of the Pro Forma Calculation Date or such last day of the Test Period, as the case may be, giving Pro Forma Effect to the incurrence or repayment of any such Indebtedness on such date.

(d) If since the beginning of the Test Period any person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary of any Borrower or was merged with or into any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Borrower since the beginning of such period) shall have made any transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.04, then the Applicable Calculations shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto for such period as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.

(e) In calculating the Applicable Calculations, any person that is a Restricted Subsidiary on the applicable Pro Forma Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at all times during such Test Period.

(f) In calculating the Applicable Calculations, any person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the applicable Pro Forma Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such Test Period.

(g) For purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance if such calculation is being performed prior to the last day of the first Test Period for which the covenant in Section 6.10 is required to be satisfied, the levels required for such first Test Period shall be deemed to apply in determining compliance with such covenant.

(h) In calculating the Applicable Calculations, Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein:

(i) each Lender with a U.S. Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a U.S. Term Loan to the U.S. Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its U.S. Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of U.S. Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(ii) each Lender with a Cayman Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Cayman Term Loan to the Cayman Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to its Cayman Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Cayman Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans to the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Incremental Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, at any time and from time to time on or after the date of effectiveness of the Incremental Revolving Commitment, and until the earlier of the Incremental Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Incremental Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000 (except with respect to any Incremental Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, to repay such Loan, nor the right of such Lender to receive all payments of interest and principal with respect to such Loan, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan required to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

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

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or an Incremental Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the U.S. Borrower or Cayman Borrower, as applicable, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower, as applicable, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fee set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fee”).

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

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365/366 days and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time.

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

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

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (g) or (h) of Article VII, or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then the overdue Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

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

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments (other than any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Loans on the Closing Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the U.S. Term Loan Commitments or Cayman Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of each of the Loan Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds or the issuance of debt or the occurrence of any other transaction, in which case, such notice may be revoked if such other credit facilities do not become effective, such proceeds are not received, such debt is not issued or such other transaction is not consummated. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given (and the contents thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.09.

(c) Each reduction in the Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Borrowings. (a) (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), commencing with the last Business Day of September, 2015, a principal amount of the Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.24(d)) equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made and outstanding on the Closing Date, with the balance payable on the Maturity Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Term Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Specified Incremental Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12 and 2.13(e)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

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

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on the day of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given (and the contents thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(b) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be allocated between the Loans of each Class and applied to the installments of principal due in respect of such Loans under Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, in each case as directed by the Borrowers.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day) and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds or the issuance of debt or the occurrence of any other transaction, in which case, such notice may be revoked if such other credit facilities do not become effective, such proceeds are not received, such debt is not issued or such other transaction is not consummated. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty, except as set forth below under clause (d). All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) In the event that, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrowers (x) make any prepayment of Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (y) effect any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, (I), in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being prepaid and (II) and in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Loans, subject to the conditions in clause (vi) below, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (each a “Purchasing Party”) may repurchase or purchase outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) subject to the procedures as set forth below (or such other procedures as reasonably agreed between the Borrowers and Administrative Agent):

(i) Any Purchasing Party may conduct one or more auctions open to all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase or purchase all or any portion of the Loans of such Class by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the related Class) identifying the Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall contain (x) an aggregate bid amount, which may be expressed at the election of such Purchasing Party as either the total par principal amount or the total cash value of the bid, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 for each Auction and with minimum increments of $100,000 (the “Auction Amount”) and (y) the discount to par, which shall be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Loans at issue that represents the range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction;

(ii) In connection with any Auction, each Lender of the related Class may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Administrative Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”) which shall specify (x) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price (the “Reply Discount”), which must be within the Discount Range, and (y) a principal amount of Loans which must be in increments of $100,000 or in an amount equal to the Lender’s entire remaining amount of such Loans (the “Reply Amount”). Lenders may submit only one Return Bid with respect to each Class per Auction (unless the Administrative Agent and the Purchasing Party elect to permit multiple bids, in which case the Administrative Agent and the Purchasing Party may agree to establish procedures under which each Return Bid may contain up to three bids with respect to each Class, only one of which can result in a Qualifying Bid (as defined below) with respect to such Class). In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance modified in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12(e). Each Return Bid and accompanying Assignment and Acceptance must be returned by each participating Lender by the time and date specified by the Administrative Agent as the due date for Return Bids (the “Return Bid Due Date”) for the applicable Auction, which shall be a date not more than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of the Auction Notice, unless the Purchasing Party and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree;

(iii) If more than one Class is included in an Auction, the following procedures will apply separately for each such Class. Based on the Reply Discounts and Reply Amounts received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Discount (i.e., the greatest discount to par) for which the Purchasing Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that the Reply Amounts received by the applicable Return Bid Due Date are insufficient to allow the Purchasing Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), the Purchasing Party shall either, at its election, (x) withdraw the Auction or (y) complete the Auction at an Applicable Discount equal to the highest Reply Discount (i.e., the smallest discount to par). The Purchasing Party shall purchase Loans subject to such Auctions (or the respective portions thereof) from each applicable Lender with a Reply Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Discount; provided, further, that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Purchasing Party shall purchase such Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). In any Auction for which the Administrative Agent and the Purchasing Party have elected to permit multiple bids, if a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Discounts, only the bid with the highest Reply Discount that is equal to or less than the Applicable Discount will be deemed the Qualifying Bid of such Lender. Each participating Lender will receive notice of a Qualifying Bid as soon as reasonably practicable but in no case later than five Business Days from the Return Bid Due Date;

(iv) Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Purchasing Party may not withdraw an Auction other than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Discount. The Purchasing Party will not have any obligation to purchase any Loans outside of the applicable Discount Range nor will any Reply Discounts outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Discount or satisfaction of the Auction Amount. Each purchase of Loans in an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Loans, and calculation of the Applicable Discount referred to above) established by the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Borrowers. To the extent that no Lenders have validly tendered any Loans of a Class requested in an Auction Notice or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Purchasing Party may amend such Auction Notice for such Loans at least 24 hours before the then-scheduled expiration time for such Auction. In addition, the Purchasing Party may extend the expiration time of an Auction at least 24 hours before such expiration time;

(v) All repurchases pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) in an amount equal to the full aggregate principal amount of such Loans and shall reduce the remaining scheduled payments of principal in respect of the applicable Class under Section 2.11 pro rata; provided that such repurchases shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12(a) through (d), Section 2.17 and Section 2.18;

(vi) Any repurchase described in clause (v) above shall be subject to no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; and

(vii) [Reserved].

(viii) Each Lender that sells its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchasing Parties may come into possession of Excluded Information, (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the Purchasing Parties or any of its respective Affiliates, or any other person shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender that tenders Loans pursuant to an Auction agrees to the foregoing provisions of this clause (viii). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.12(e) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Loans by an Purchasing Party contemplated by this Section 2.12(e) shall not constitute Investments by such Purchasing Party) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.12(e).

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale or any Recovery Event (to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate), the Borrowers shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e); provided that: so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds are expected to be used, or committed to be used, to acquire assets useful (in the good faith judgment of the U.S. Borrower) in the Borrowers’ (or their Restricted Subsidiaries’) business within 12 months following the date of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event; provided that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not so reinvested within such 12-month period (or if the Borrowers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries have entered into a binding contractual commitment for reinvestment within such 12-month period, not so reinvested within 18 months following the date of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event), such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.13(a); provided further that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary is required to repay, redeem or repurchase or offer to repay, redeem or repurchase Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis (but without regard to control of remedies) with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event (such Indebtedness required to be repaid, redeemed or repurchased or offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the applicable Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time so long as the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase, redemption or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) shall be reduced accordingly.

(b) No later than the fifth Business Day after the date on which financial statements with respect to a fiscal year of Holdings are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about December 31, 2016, the Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess (if any) of (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended (provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but greater than 1.50 to 1.00, and to 0% if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00) minus (y) Voluntary Prepayments made during such fiscal year, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, other than to the extent any such Voluntary Prepayment is funded with the proceeds of new long-term Indebtedness.

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

(d) Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) Capitol ceasing all operations except for the purposes of winding up, redeeming 100% of the shares sold in Capitol’s initial public offering for cash and dissolving and liquidating and (iii) August 1, 2015, the Borrowers shall, not later than the second Business Day following the date of such occurrence, apply an amount equal to $30,000,000 to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) (the “Outside Date Repayment”).

(e) So long as any Loans are outstanding, mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be applied pro rata to each Class of Loans (except, in the case of amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(b), such mandatory prepayments shall be allocated to each of the U.S. Term Loans and the Cayman Term Loans based on the amount of Excess Cash Flow generated by each of the U.S. Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Cayman Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiaries, on the other hand, as determined in good faith by the U.S. Borrower) and within each Class to any installments thereof (1) in direct order of maturity of the remaining installments for the next eight amortization payments following the relevant prepayment event, and (2) thereafter, ratably to the remaining installments.

(f) Each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of each Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given (and the contents thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.13. Each such Lender may reject all of its pro rata share of the prepayment (excluding the Outside Date Prepayment) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the prepayment to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the prepayment to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such prepayment. Any Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(g) In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Borrowers of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Loans are Alternate Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(f), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.16.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.13, if the Borrowers determine in good faith that the repatriation by any Foreign Subsidiary, of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b) above would result in material and adverse tax consequences (including from withholding tax), taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, the amount that the U.S. Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount until such time as such Foreign Subsidiaries may repatriate to the U.S. Borrower the Restricted Amount without incurring such material and adverse tax liability (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause each of its Foreign Subsidiaries to, promptly take all available actions reasonably required to mitigate such tax liability); provided that to the extent that the repatriation of any Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse tax consequence, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, not previously applied pursuant to the immediately preceding clause shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b) as otherwise required above (without regard to this paragraph).

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); (ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Excluded Taxes or (B) Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction in the amount received or receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that no Lender shall claim any compensation under this Section unless such Lender is generally seeking similar compensation from similarly situated borrowers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required or contemplated under Sections 2.15 or 2.24, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans. The Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 (noon) New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. Each payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made in dollars.

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

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders 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 the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers do not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an applicable Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (i) (x) 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 the Loan Parties to do so) and (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (ii) the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(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 the relevant Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) each Lender that is a U.S. Person, shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and duly executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1) 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or BEN-E, as applicable, 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 BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

(2) two accurate, complete, original and signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or successor form;

(3) 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 G to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) in the case of such a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments hereunder (including a partnership or a participating Lender), (x) two accurate, complete, original and signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY or successor form on behalf of itself and (y) an IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G, 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 not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners 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 G on behalf of such beneficial owner(s);

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any form or certification provided pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) At no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 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 Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 (g) 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.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrowers that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, each Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (v) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrowers or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including (x) the premium, if any, that would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.12(d) if such Lender’s Loans had been prepaid on such date and (y) any amounts under Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.05 (as to events arising prior to the date of assignment); provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance (provided that any Assignment and Acceptance executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the power of attorney granted hereby shall be in the form of Exhibit B) necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lender in respect of any Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to this Section 2.21.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall seek compensation under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 unless such Lender is generally seeking similar and proportionate compensation from similarly situated borrowers.

SECTION 2.22. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23. Refinancing Amendments. (a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans or outstanding Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement, in the form of Other Term Loans (or Other Term Loan Commitments) or Other Revolving Loans (or Other Revolving Credit Commitments), as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment); provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) shall be secured by the Collateral, and Guaranteed by the Guarantors, on a pari passu basis with the Obligations pursuant to the Security Documents and shall not be secured by any property or assets other than Collateral or Guaranteed by any person other than a Guarantor, (ii) (x) in the case of Other Revolving Credit Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced and (y) in the case of any Other Term Loans, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced and (iii) in the event that a Refinancing Amendment with respect to Loans (other than Incremental Loans) does not refinance the Loans (other than Incremental Loans) in full, if the initial yield on such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Loans on the date such Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof) (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of such Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity (expressed in years) of such Loans and (B) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Refinancing Yield Differential”) the sum of (A) the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Eurocurrency Term Loans on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date (without taking into account the last sentence of the definition of LIBO Rate)) and (B) the amount of the OID initially paid in respect of the Term Loans, divided by four, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for the Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Refinancing Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 and, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Additional Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02, other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.23 shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless such amount represents the total outstanding amount of the Refinanced Debt or the Administrative Agent otherwise consents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.

(d) Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to reflect the existence of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and to otherwise effect the provisions of this Section 2.23.

SECTION 2.24. Incremental Loans. (a) The Borrowers may, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent from time to time on one or more occasions after the Closing Date, request Incremental Commitments in an aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Commitments of up to (i) $10,000,000 (which shall not be reduced by any amount incurred in reliance on clause (ii) below) plus (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as in the case of this clause (ii), after giving effect to such Incremental Loans (and assuming in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, that such Incremental Revolving Loans have been fully drawn) and the use of proceeds thereof, the Total Net Leverage Ratio calculated on a Pro Forma Basis shall be equal to or less than 3.50 to 1.00 (the “Incremental Loan Amount”); provided that the Borrowers may elect to use this clause (ii) prior to clause (i) above, and if both clause (i) above and this clause (ii) are available and the Borrowers do not make an election, the Borrowers will be deemed to have elected this clause (ii). Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Loan Amount), (y) the date on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 5 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree and (z) whether such Incremental Commitments are commitments to make additional Loans, additional term loans or revolving loans with terms different from the Loans (loans with different terms from the Loans being referred to herein as “Specified Incremental Loans” and such commitments, “Specified Incremental Loan Commitments”), as applicable.

(b) The Borrowers and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of each Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of any Incremental Loans to be made thereunder; provided that (i) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (A) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (B) the final maturity date of any Incremental Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than a date to be determined by the Borrowers and the Incremental Lenders (but not later than five years after the Closing Date) (such date, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Maturity Date”), (C) the interest rate margins applicable to any Incremental Loan will be determined by the Borrowers and the Incremental Lenders; provided that if the initial yield on such Incremental Loan (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Loans on the date such Loans are made would exceed the LIBO Rate for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such Loans are initially made with OID, the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity (expressed in years) of such Loans and (B) four exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Incremental Yield Differential”) the sum of (A) the Applicable Rate then in effect for Eurodollar Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Eurodollar Loans on the date such Incremental Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) (but excluding any customary arrangement, underwriting, structuring or similar fees in connection therewith that are not paid to all of the Lenders providing such Incremental Loans), and (B) the amount of the OID initially paid in respect of the Loans divided by four, then the Applicable Rate then in effect for the Loans shall automatically be increased by the Incremental Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Incremental Loans, (D) all representations and warranties set forth in Article III and in each other Loan Document shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement and with the same effect as though made on and as of such date; provided that to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all respects as of such earlier date; provided, further that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true, correct and complete in all respects on and as of the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement or on such earlier date, as the case may be; and provided further that if the proceeds of Incremental Loans are to be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, in lieu of the condition set forth in this clause (D) only “specified representations” pursuant to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (conformed as necessary for such Permitted Acquisition) shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects, (E) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that if the proceeds of Incremental Loans are to be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, in lieu of the condition set forth in this clause (E), no Incremental Loan may be made if any Event of Default under Sections 8.01(b), (c), (g) or (h) exists or would result therefrom, (F) the Incremental Loans shall have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the existing Loans and (G) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been paid, and (ii) all terms and documentation with respect to any Incremental Loans which differ from those with respect to the Loans (except those terms forth in clauses (i)(A), (B), (C) and (F) above) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, synthetic letter of credit facilities shall be permitted to be requested as Incremental Term Loan Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02, other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans (other than Specified Incremental Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(e) The Borrowers may seek commitments in respect of Incremental Loans from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection therewith; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to such additional Lenders, if such consent would be required pursuant to Section 9.04 for an assignment of loans or commitments, as applicable, to such additional Lender.

SECTION 2.25. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made (but without the consent of any other Lender or the Required Lenders).

(b) The Borrowers and each other Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent so reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02, other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.26. 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:

(a) any amount payable to any Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, held in a deposit account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iii) third, as the Borrowers may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold all Loans in accordance with the relevant Pro Rata Percentages. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.26 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

Each of Holdings and each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The Loan Documents (a) have been duly authorized by the Loan Parties by all requisite corporate, limited liability company, and, if required, stockholder or other applicable action and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents of the Loan Parties, (B) any order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Loan Parties (other than any Lien created hereunder or under the Security Documents), except in the case of clause (b)(i), to the extent the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

SECTION 3.04. Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority or any other person is or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except for (a) the filing of UCC financing statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, (b) recordation of the Mortgages on statutory registers or otherwise and (c) such as either have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or the failure to make or obtain the same would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) The Borrowers have heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the U.S. Borrower for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the U.S. Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

(n) there shall have occurred a Change in Control; then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrowers described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrowers, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrowers to the extent permitted by law, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to Holdings or the Borrowers described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of Holdings and the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows: after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows: first, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents and the Lenders under the Loan Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral), second, to pay interest on Loans then outstanding, third, to pay principal of Loans then outstanding and obligations under Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder and secured by the Security Documents, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause “third” payable to them and fourth, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “second” or “third” above are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in the applicable clause at such time. This paragraph may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Sections 2.23, 2.24 and 2.25, as applicable.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

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

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

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the Borrowers or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

119

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

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon the consent of the Borrowers (except that the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a Lender in consultation with the Borrowers. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

120

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

None of the Lenders or other persons identified on the facing page of this Agreement as a “bookrunner”, “lead arranger”, “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

(c) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or fax number) set forth on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto.

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

Holdings and the Borrowers hereby agree, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent, that it will, or will cause the Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials (all such communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent.

Holdings and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of it hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Holdings and the Borrowers hereby agree that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.15); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent promptly that such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Term Loan Facility and (C) the financial statements, reports, compliance and other certificates and other information furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04 of this Agreement (other than any budget and projected financial statements furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04(e) of this Agreement or otherwise).

122

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

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

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

123

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

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers or Holdings herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Counterparts; 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 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 facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif” document) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

124

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (except as provided below) the Borrowers (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) each assignment of the U.S. Term Loans and the Cayman Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by such assigning Lender in proportion to the respective amounts of such Loans held by such assigning Lender at such time; (ii) if the Borrowers have not responded within ten Business Days to any request for an assignment, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment, (iii) the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required if such assignment is made (A) to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of any such Lender, (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or (C) to effectuate the primary syndication of the Term Loan Facility on or after the Closing Date to persons (other than to Disqualified Institutions) identified by the Lead Arranger to the Borrowers, (iv) unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class), (v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms including any forms required by Section 2.20. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

125

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

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

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrowers to such assignment and any applicable tax forms including any forms required by Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

126

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrowers, any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons (other than Disqualified Institutions, a natural person, and the Loan Parties) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be subject to the obligations of and entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered by each participant to the applicable participating Lender, and by each SPC to the applicable Granting Lender) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant, except, in the case of amounts payable under Section 2.14 or 2.20, to the extent such additional amounts are not in respect of the U.S. Term Loan and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest (other than with respect to waivers of the terms of Section 2.07), extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with Asset Sales permitted under Section 6.05 or as otherwise specified in this Agreement or any Security Document) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Each Lender that sells a participation and/or that is a Granting Lender with respect to a Loan made by an SPC, shall in each case, 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 such SPC and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s and such SPC’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (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 or SPC’s interest in any Commitments, Loans 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 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, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation and/or Loan, as applicable, 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.

127

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrowers as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.15.

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

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. An SPC that makes a Loan hereunder shall provide any documentation required pursuant to Section 2.20(f) as if it were a Lender (or notify the Borrowers in writing if it is not legally able to provide such documentation). Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). The Loan Parties agree that each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b); provided, however, that an SPC shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.16 or 2.20 than the applicable Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Loan or portion of the Loan granted to such SPC, unless the grant to such SPC is made with each of the Borrowers’ prior written consent. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

128

(j) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Loans to the Borrowers pursuant to open market purchases, provided that (i) any Loans that are so assigned will be automatically and irrevocably cancelled and the aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Loans then outstanding shall be reduced by an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loans, (ii) the Borrowers shall clearly identify themselves as such in the applicable assignment documentation, (iii) any such Loans acquired by the Borrowers shall not be deemed a repayment of Indebtedness for purposes of calculating Excess Cash Flow and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. Each Lender participating in any assignment to the Borrowers, pursuant to this clause (j) acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) the Borrowers then may have, and later may come into possession of, Excluded Information, (2) such Lender has independently, and without reliance on Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent Party, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, (3) none of Holdings, the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent Party, as the case may be, shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and any other Agent Parties, as the case may be, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information and (4) that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

129

(k) Except in connection with the Acquisition, neither Holdings nor the Borrowers shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrowers and Holdings agree, severally and not jointly, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (i) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arranger (including but not limited to reasonable and documented legal fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel (absent a conflict of interest) and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where such conflicted party informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another counsel for similarly situated affected persons), one special maritime counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) and reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arranger associated with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, waiver or modification (including proposed amendments, waivers or modifications) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or (ii) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses of one primary outside counsel (absent a conflict of interest) and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where such conflicted party informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another counsel for similarly situated affected persons), one special maritime counsel and one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) and for workout proceedings, enforcement costs and documentary taxes associated with the Loan Documents, including with respect to the Loans made hereunder.

(b) The Borrowers, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees, one special maritime counsel and one primary firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for similarly situated affected Indemnitees)), claims, damages, losses and liabilities of such Indemnitee arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Term Loan Facility and any documentation related thereto, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility, the Transactions or any transaction contemplated in connection with the foregoing (including any investigation, claim or any litigation or other proceeding, or preparation of a defense in connection therewith (regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrowers or any of their respective affiliates or equity holders) that relates to the Transactions, including the financing contemplated hereby or any transactions in connection therewith), provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any cost, expense or liability to the extent determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct nor for any claims brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than claims against the Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent acting in such capacity), and this provision shall not cover any expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation or diligence in connection with the Loan Documents; and provided further that the foregoing indemnity shall only apply to the Cayman Borrower and the Cayman Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent such claim, damage, loss or liability arises out of, relates to or is in connection with the Foreign Obligations.

130

(c) To the extent that Holdings and the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lead Arranger under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Collateral Agent, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable promptly upon written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or Holdings against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers or Holdings now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

131

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

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

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.23, 2.24 and 2.25, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan Document or any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, Holdings and the Required Lenders or in the case of the other Loan Parties, pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the applicable Loan Party and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan (other than with respect to waivers of the terms of Section 2.07), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees or decrease the amount of, or shorten the period applicable to, any prepayment premium of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent of a condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase of Commitment), (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17 or the provisions of this Section or release all or substantially all the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the Guarantee Agreement or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, unless otherwise explicitly permitted under this Agreement, (iv) change the provisions of application of prepayments in any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class disproportionately from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC, (vi) impose any additional material restrictions on the right of any Lender to assign its Loans or Commitments hereunder without the prior written consent of such Lender (except as required by law or regulation), (vii) modify the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loan Commitments on the date hereof); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

132

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment, modification or supplement shall adversely affect the rights of any Lender (or the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, modification or supplement.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

133

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto 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 or, to the extent permitted by 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, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, the Borrowers, any Mortgaged Vessel Owning Subsidiary or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

134

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) The Cayman Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of New York may be made upon the U.S. Borrower, presently located at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Process Agent”). The Cayman Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent to accept such service of any and all such writs, processes and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to the Cayman Borrower shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon, and the U.S. Borrower hereby accepts its appointment as Process Agent for the Cayman Borrower. If the Process Agent shall cease to serve as agent for the Cayman Borrower to receive service of process hereunder, the Cayman Borrower, on behalf of itself, shall promptly appoint a successor agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Cayman Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by the Administrative Agent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

135

SECTION 9.15. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates, agrees that it will use all Information (as defined below) provided to it or its affiliates solely for purposes of making and administering Loans and agrees until the second anniversary of the termination of this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed only (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who need to know such information in connection with the Transactions (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), (b) to the extent requested or demanded by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such party or any of its Affiliates, (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or otherwise as required by applicable law or regulation or as requested by a governmental authority (in which case, such party, to the extent permitted by law and except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, agrees to inform the Borrowers promptly thereof), (d) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.15, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrowers, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.15, (h) to the extent such information was independently development by such party without reliance on such Information, (i) to ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P in connection with obtaining credit ratings for the Borrowers or its Subsidiaries or the Term Loan Facility hereunder or (j) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities or market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from or on behalf of the Borrowers, Holdings or any Subsidiary and related to the Borrowers, Holdings or any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by or on behalf of the Borrowers, Holdings or any Subsidiary. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.15 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 its own confidential information.

136

SECTION 9.16. Release of Liens and Guarantees of Subsidiaries. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Borrowers, Holdings or any other Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger, consolidation or in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary permitted hereunder), then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrowers or such other Loan Party, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such Collateral or guarantee obligations. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction not otherwise prohibited hereunder or designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released (without need for further action by any person). At the request and sole expense of the Borrowers, a Subsidiary that is a Loan Party shall be released from all its obligations under this Agreement, under any guaranteed obligations and under all other Loan Documents in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger or consolidation) and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrowers, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the foregoing. If, in compliance with this Agreement, the Termination Date has occurred, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Loan Parties to effect the release of obligations under this Agreement, under any guaranteed obligations and under all other Loan Documents in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents.

SECTION 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings and the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Holdings and the Borrowers in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.18. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

137

SECTION 9.19. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.18 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

SECTION 9.20. U.S. Obligations. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, NONE OF THE CAYMAN BORROWER, THE CAYMAN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS OR ANY OTHER FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES SHALL (I) GUARANTEE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GUARANTEED, OR SHALL OTHERWISE BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY OF THE U.S. OBLIGATIONS OR (II) GRANT A SECURITY INTEREST TO SECURE, OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE CREDIT SUPPORT FOR, THE U.S. OBLIGATIONS.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

[●], 2015

To the Arranger, Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:

The undersigned, Chief Financial Officer of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Expeditions, Inc., a New York corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), hereby certifies on behalf of the Borrowers, and not individually, pursuant to Section 4.02(c) of the Credit Agreement dated as of [May 8], 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among the U.S. Borrower, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Maritime Enterprises, Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (collectively, the “Borrowers” and each, individually a “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”; terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined), that:

1. I have reviewed the Credit Agreement and have made, or have caused to be made, such examinations or investigations as are reasonably necessary to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein. The financial information, projections and assumptions that underlie and form the basis for the certifications made in this Solvency Certificate (a) were made in good faith and were based on assumptions reasonably believed by the U.S. Borrower to be fair in light of the circumstances existing at the time made and (b) continue to be fair as of the date hereof. For purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability shall be the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the Closing Date, represents the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability.

2. I acknowledge that the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Solvency Certificate in connection with the making of Loans under the Credit Agreement.

3. Based upon the review and examination described in paragraph 1 above, I hereby certify, on behalf of the Borrowers, and not individually, that as of the date hereof after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and the other transactions contemplated thereby:

(a) the sum of the present debt and liabilities (including subordinated and contingent liabilities) of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the fair value of the present assets of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis;

(b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount that will be required to pay the debt and liabilities (including subordinated and contingent liabilities) of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries as they become absolute and matured;

(c) the capital of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business (taken as a whole) as contemplated on the Closing Date and as proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date; and

H-1

(d) the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts or other liabilities including current obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts or other liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).
