(b)    For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have been made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary during the reference period or subsequent to the reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be given pro forma effect as if all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations (and all related financing transactions) had occurred on the first day of the reference period. Additionally, if since the beginning of such reference period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such reference period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then such ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such reference period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation (and all related financing transactions) had occurred at the beginning of the reference period.

(c)    For purposes of the calculations referred to herein, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations (including any cost savings associated therewith) shall be made

40

in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. In addition, any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower, to reflect any operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies projected in good faith to result from any acquisition, amalgamation, merger or operational change (including, to the extent applicable, from the Transactions); provided that (x) such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (y) with respect to operational changes resulting from an acquisition, such actions are taken or committed to be taken no later than 12 months after date of such acquisition and (z) (i) such projected operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies in respect of operational changes (not resulting from an acquisition) included in any pro forma calculation shall not be duplicative of amounts added back pursuant to clause (a)(viii) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and (ii) the aggregate amount of projected operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies in respect of operational changes (not resulting from an acquisition) taken together with amounts added back to Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to clause (a)(viii) of the definition thereof shall not exceed 20% of Consolidated EBITDA for any four consecutive fiscal quarter period (calculated prior to giving effect to such addbacks) unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent.

(d)    If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Rate Management Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the reference period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate as the Borrower may designate.

(e)    Any Person that is a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Subsidiary at all times during the reference period, and any Person that is not a Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Subsidiary at any time during the reference period.

Section 1.08.    Letter of Credit Amount. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Section 1.09.    Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Section 1.10.    LLC Division/Series Transactions.

41

original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time. Any reference herein and in the Loan Documents to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division or plan of division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and each division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

Section 1.11.    Cashless Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Loans under Incremental Facilities, Replacement Term Loans, Loans in connection with any Replacement Commitments, or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirement.

Section 1.12.    Negative Covenant Compliance. For purposes of determining whether the Borrower and its Subsidiaries comply with any exception to any negative covenant contained in Article 6 (other than Section 6.22 and Section 6.27) where compliance with any such exception is based on a financial ratio or metric being satisfied as of a particular point in time, it is understood that (a) compliance shall be measured at the time when the relevant event is undertaken, as such financial ratios and metrics are intended to be “incurrence” tests and not “maintenance” tests, and (b) correspondingly, any such ratio and metric shall only prohibit the Borrower and its Subsidiaries from creating, incurring, assuming, suffering to exist or making, as the case may be, any new, for example, Liens, Indebtedness or Investments, but shall not result in any previously permitted, for example, Liens, Indebtedness or Investments ceasing to be permitted hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, with respect to determining whether the Borrower and its Subsidiaries comply with any negative covenant in Article 6 (other than Section 6.22 and Section 6.27), to the extent that any obligation or transaction could be attributable to more than one exception to any such negative covenant, the Borrower may elect to categorize and/or recategorize from time to time all or any portion of such obligation or transaction to any one or more exceptions to such negative covenant that permit such obligation or transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”; including, for the avoidance of doubt, any grower component) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence. If any transaction, action, judgment or amount incurred under any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any portion of the foregoing) previously divided and classified (or re-divided and re-classified) as set forth above under any Fixed Amount, could subsequently be re-divided and re-classified as an Incurrence Based Amount, such re-division and re-classification shall be deemed to occur automatically, in each case, unless otherwise elected by the Borrower.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, in the case of Additional Revolving Facilities, as specified in the Incremental Amendment). The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender to extend credit hereunder shall expire on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, in the case of Additional Revolving Facilities, as specified in the Incremental Amendment).

All outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or, in the case of Additional Revolving Facilities, as specified in the Incremental Amendment.

Section 2.05.    Ratable Loans. Each Revolving Loan hereunder shall consist of Revolving Loans made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares.

Section 2.06.    Types of Advances. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12, or Swing Line Loans selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.07.

Section 2.07.    Swing Line Loans.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07, agrees to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time from and including the Closing Date and prior to its Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding its Swing Line Commitment, (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment or (iii) any Revolving Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. The Borrower will repay in full each Swing Line Loan on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date for such Swing Line Loan; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.11 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan which is a Floating Rate Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan.

(b)    To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or electronic mail in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (to such telephone number or electronic mail addresses as the Administrative Agent shall specify) (in each case confirmed by delivery by telecopy to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of the Swing Line Borrowing Notice), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swing Line Loan; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Borrowing Notice. Each such notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be an amount not less than $1,000,000. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.07(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to a general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swing Line Lender or wire transfer to an account designated by the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.22(e), by remittance to the LC Issuer) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan.

44

(c)    The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may (and shall on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan made by it that is then still outstanding) by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance, prior to or after the funding of any Swing Line Loan, of a Default or Unmatured Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.08.    Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a)    (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (other than any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate calculated per annum on the daily amount of the difference between the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding Swing Line Exposure) of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date but excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

45

(b)    The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Revolving Lenders in minimum amounts of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than by 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of such reduction, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any concurrent repayments in respect of Revolving Loans or Cash Collateralization of LC Exposure) and further provided that a notice of a reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder.

Section 2.09.    Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans or with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Credit Facilities, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan or with respect to any Incremental Term Loan or Additional Revolving Facility, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Revolving Loan which is a Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

Section 2.10.    Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments.

(a)    The Borrower may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty except as provided in clause (b) below, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one Business Day’s prior notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (by no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such date of the notice) to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and increments of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04 and subject to clause (b) below, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (by no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such date of the notice) to the Administrative Agent. All voluntary principal payments in respect of the Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in such order as the Borrower may elect, or if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment, in the direct order of maturity. All mandatory principal payments in respect of the Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof under Section 2.02 in the direct order of maturity.

(b)    In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(c) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing

46

Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(c)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Term Loans until paid in full and/or Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e) below; provided that in the case of any such event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower or any Subsidiary applies (or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 12 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder of a Similar Business or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild, develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other assets (other than Cash Equivalents) useful or to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of a Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing as of such date), then, so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the giving of such notice and at the time of the proposed reinvestment, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by the end of such 12 month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such 12 month period, have not been so applied within 180 days after such 12 month period has expired). The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.10(c).

(d)    Following the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period of the Borrower, commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on December 31, 2022, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period. Each prepayment pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Excess Cash Flow Period for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause with respect to any Excess Cash Flow Period shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of (i) voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans which were accompanied by corresponding permanent reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) all optional prepayments of the Term Loans, and (iii) mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, in each case only to the extent that such prepayments (A) were made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the start of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the due date for (or, if earlier, the actual payment date of) the prepayment under this clause with respect to such Excess Cash Flow Period and (B) have not resulted in a reduction of Excess Cash Flow or prepayments pursuant to this clause with respect to any prior Excess Cash Flow Period.

(e)    In the event of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the prepayment amount shall be applied, first to repay outstanding Term Loans (and principal installments thereof on a pro rata basis) and second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans, without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment.

47

Section 2.11.    Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Notice. Each such notice shall specify:

(a)    the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(b)    the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(c)    the Type of Advance selected, and

(d)    in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 13. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in an account designated in writing by the Borrower. Borrower shall not have more than 8 Eurodollar Advances outstanding at one time.

Section 2.12.    Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.10. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.10 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.09, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation (provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Conversion/Continuation Notice), specifying:

(a)    the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

(b)    the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

(c)    the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

48

Section 2.13.    Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.12, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof, plus the Applicable Margin. No Interest Period may end after the Maturity Date applicable to each Lender.

Section 2.14.    Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, during the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.02 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.02, unless waived by the Required Lenders or until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, (a) each overdue Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (b) each overdue Floating Rate Advance and all overdue fees and other overdue amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.15.    Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article 13, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 12:00 noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans and except in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to LC Disbursements for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the applicable Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article 13 or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.15 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22(e).

Section 2.16.    Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

49

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register as set forth in Section 12.01(c).

(c)    The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) 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 or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d)    Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Note or a Swing Line Note, in each case as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.01) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.17.    Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 2.18.    Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Eurodollar Advances, commitment fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or other amount hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Section 2.19.    Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Revolving Credit Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

50

Section 2.20.    Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Exposure and the LC Issuer may book the Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in LC Exposure and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article 13, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit are to be made.

Section 2.21.    Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which it is scheduled to make payment of the proceeds of a Loan to the Administrative Agent or (b) in the case of the Borrower, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which it is scheduled to make a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

Section 2.22.    Letters of Credit.

(a)    General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time from and including the Closing Date and prior to the date that is seven days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall mail, hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the LC Issuer) to the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit in Dollars, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

51

If requested by the LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $32,500,000, (y) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and (z) each Revolving Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (y) seven days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one year period may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods but in no event shall the date of such Letters of Credit extend beyond the period in clause (y) hereof.

(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer or the Lenders, the LC Issuer hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by the LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)    Reimbursement. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower (any such notice received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received by the Borrower on the next Business Day); provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.07 or 2.11 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan which is a Floating Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan. If the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the LC Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer, then to such Lenders and the LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the

52

funding of a Revolving Loan or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan pursuant to this Section 2.22(e) to reimburse the LC Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the LC Issuer.

(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, in each case on the part of the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the LC Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the LC Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the LC Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the LC Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iii)). The LC Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the LC Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

53

(h)    Interim Interest. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made (or, if notice of such LC Disbursement is given later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such LC Disbursement, then from and including the next Business Day) to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within five Business Days of the date when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date when due to and including the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the LC Issuer with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)    Replacement of LC Issuers. An LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor LC Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to paragraph (k) of this Section. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)    Cash Collateralization. If any Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding that the Borrower provide Cash Collateral for the LC Exposure (which notice shall be delivered no earlier than the earlier of the fifth Business Day of such Default continuing and the date of any acceleration of the Obligations with respect to such Default), the Borrower shall, on the Business Day of the receipt of such notice, Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure; provided that (i) the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.06 or 7.07 and (ii) no such notice may be sent to the Borrower solely in respect of a Default with respect to Section 6.22 prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period with respect thereto. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the

54

satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k)    Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) a participation fee (the “LC Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Advances on the face amount of such Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed upon (but no more than 0.125% per annum) between the Borrower and such LC Issuer on the daily amount of the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the LC Issuers pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand. All LC Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(l)    Outstanding Letters of Credit. The letters of credit set forth on Schedule 2.22 hereto (the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) were issued or deemed issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. The Borrower, the LC Issuer and each of the Revolving Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit that effective upon the Closing Date (A) such Outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under and governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (B) each Lender shall participate in each Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Outstanding Letter of Credit.

(m)    Benefits and Immunities. The LC Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the LC Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the LC Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 10 included the LC Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the LC Issuer.

Section 2.23.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.

(a)    If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Loans hereunder

55

or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If (i) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (ii) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.03, (iii) any Lender shall (x) default in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or to pay to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, Swing Line Lender or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder, (y) notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in writing that it does not intend to comply with its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect or (z) fail, within three Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder (provided that such Lender shall cease to be an “Affected Lender” pursuant to this clause (z) upon receipt of such written confirmation by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), (iv) any Lender or such Lender’s direct or indirect parent company shall become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or any similar proceeding (provided that a Lender shall not be an “Affected Lender” hereunder solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any Capital Stock in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Entity so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Entity) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender) or has become the subject of a Bail-in Action, or (v) any Lender shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby and has been consented to by the Required Lenders (any Lender described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may (x) elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have such right only if (i) concurrently with such replacement, (A) another bank or other entity (other than a Disqualified Institution at the time of assignment) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.01 applicable to assignments, and (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (x) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05, and (y) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.04 had the Loans or other Obligations of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, (vi) in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, such additional payments continue to be required or such suspension is still effective and will be reduced or negated by such assignment and (vii) in the case of clause (v) above, the applicable Eligible Assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (y) terminate all Commitments of such Affected Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender as of such termination date (including any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.04 as a result of such repayment).

56

Section 2.24.    Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)    Except as provided below in this Section 2.24 and as required or provided under Section 2.07, 2.22, 2.23(b), 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.05, 11.02 or 12.01(j), each Advance, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee set forth in Section 2.08 and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment and each conversion of any Advance to or continuation of any Advance as an Advance 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 respective applicable outstanding Loans).

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of Collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations (i) following any acceleration of the Obligations, (ii) during the existence of a Default under Section 7.02 or (iii) during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (A) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the LC Issuer in its capacity as such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Collateral Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them); (B) second, to payment of (i) that portion of the Obligations constituting principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Loans (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (B) payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings, and reimbursement obligations, interest and fees in respect of Letters of Credit, (ii) Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations and (iii) an amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable LC Issuer equal to 101% of LC Exposure to be held as Cash Collateral; and (C) third, to payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, ratably; and (D) last, in the case of proceeds of Collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, all Obligations in respect of LC Exposure but excluding any contingent obligations) have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including, without limitation, the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including, without limitation, in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party (including without limitation with respect to interests and costs regardless of whether or not such interest or costs are allowed as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceedings or enforceable or recoverable against the Loan Party or its bankruptcy estate), to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including, without limitation, in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.24, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.24. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.

57

(c)    In the event there is any Disgorged Recovery in respect of any Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure in any Insolvency Proceedings of any Loan Party, such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure shall be deemed to be outstanding as if such Disgorged Recovery had never been received by such Lender, and each Lender agrees that the intercreditor agreements and priorities set forth in this Section 2.24 shall be enforced in accordance with their terms in respect of such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure, including, without limitation, for purposes of the allocation of payments and distributions made or applied in respect of the Obligations (whether from proceeds of Collateral or otherwise), as well as for purposes of determining whether such other Lender must turn over all or any portion of any payment or other distribution received by such other Lender (whether before or after occurrence of such Disgorged Recovery) to the Administrative Agent for redistribution in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 2.24(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Section 2.25.    Incremental Credit Facilities.

(a)    The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches or additions to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments on the same terms as the Revolving Loans or the establishment of one or more revolving credit commitments (each such increase or new commitments, an “Additional Revolving Facility”), provided that (A) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist, (B) [reserved], (C) the Total Net Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis shall not exceed 5.000:1.000 for all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 2.25(a), in each case tested as of the last day of the most-recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which financial statements are internally available (calculated as if such Incremental Term Loans or borrowings under any such Additional Revolving Facilities (in an amount equal to the full amount of such Additional Revolving Facilities), as applicable, had been outstanding on such last day; provided that (x) any Additional Revolving Facility shall be tested as fully drawn and (y) the cash proceeds of any such Indebtedness shall be excluded from clause (i)(B) of the definition of Total Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining whether such Indebtedness can be incurred (provided that the use of proceeds thereof and any other pro forma adjustments shall be included)) and (D) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (A) and (C) above, together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (C) above, if applicable, (which calculations shall, if made as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which the Borrower has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and Compliance Certificate required to be delivered by Section 6.01(d), be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the relevant period). Each

tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and each Additional Revolving Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, and in all cases shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 or $5,000,000, as applicable, if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Additional Revolving Facilities incurred after the Closing Date shall not exceed $250,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of Additional Revolving Facilities incurred after the Closing Date shall not exceed $25,000,000. In no event shall the Incremental Facilities be used for any purpose other than for the purposes set forth in Section 6.02. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in lieu of requesting Incremental Term Loans or an Additional Revolving Facility, the Borrower may issue first lien notes or other first lien term loans on a pari passu basis (the “Pari Passu First Lien Debt”), subject to the representative to the applicable lenders of such Pari Passu First Lien Debt entering into the First Lien/First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or an intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that in each case the Pari Passu First Lien Debt shall be treated the same as Incremental Term Loans for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event will the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans, Additional Revolving Facilities and Pari Passu First Lien Debt incurred after the Closing Date exceed $250,000,000.

(b)    The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans (including, for the purpose of this subsection (b), any Pari Passu First Lien Debt issued in lieu thereof) and any Additional Revolving Facilities established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment: (i) such Incremental Term Loans and the borrowings under such Additional Revolving Facilities shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the existing Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by the same Collateral to the same extent as provided for in the Collateral Documents, (ii) the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date of the existing Term Loans, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Term Loans, (iv) the applicable yield relating to any term loans or revolving loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Amendment (each facility thereunder, the “Incremental Facility”) or any Pari Passu First Lien Debt, as applicable, shall not be greater than that with respect to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, plus 0.75% per annum unless the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, is increased so that the yield applicable to the applicable Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt, as applicable, does not exceed the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, by more than 0.75% per annum; provided that in determining the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and the applicable Incremental Facility or the applicable Pari Passu First Lien Debt, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or the applicable Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity of the applicable Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt), (B) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the joint bookrunners (or their affiliates) in connection with the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the applicable Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt or any other fees not paid or payable generally to all holders of such Indebtedness in the primary syndication thereof shall be excluded and (C) if the Eurodollar Base Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt includes a floor greater than any such floor that may be applicable to the analogous existing credit facility, such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable yield under the analogous existing credit facility; provided that (x) this clause (C) shall only be applicable to the extent that the interest rate (exclusive of applicable margin) is lower than the applicable floor and (y) the interest margin added

59

pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be equal to the difference between (I) the interest rate (exclusive of applicable margin) and (II) the applicable floor; provided, however, this clause (iv) shall not apply to any Incremental Facility or Pari Passu First Lien Debt entered into and established following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (v) the revolving loans incurred pursuant to such Additional Revolving Facility will mature no earlier than, and will require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and all other terms of any such Incremental Facility (except as set forth in the foregoing clauses) shall be substantially identical to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(c)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25(b) shall set forth (i) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities and (ii) the date on which such the relevant increase is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice). Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Additional Revolving Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (but each existing Lender will not have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Additional Revolving Facility) or by any other bank or other financial institution that are Eligible Assignees (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent, and to the extent of an Additional Revolving Facility, the LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Additional Revolving Facilities (collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”) to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 12.01 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Incremental Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Additional Revolving Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Terms Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, as applicable; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Incremental Amendment). The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, unless it so agrees.

(d)    Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (which for purposes of this Section 2.25(d) shall be deemed to include any new revolving commitments provided under an Incremental Amendment) pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Lender providing a portion of the Additional Revolving Facility (each, an “Additional Revolving Facility Lender”), and each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed (in the case of an increase to the Revolving Loans only), a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender) will

60

equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Additional Revolving Facility Lenders represented by such Additional Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans under the applicable facility outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Revolving Credit Facility be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.04. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(e)    The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to effect such amendments to this Agreement as are required to effectuate the terms of any Incremental Amendment to the extent such terms are permitted under this Section 2.25.

(f)    This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.24(a), 11.01 or 8.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.26.    Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 8.02.

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or

61

as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Pro Rata Share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to clause (iii) of this Section 2.26(a). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 15.04, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above) and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above).

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to clause (a)(iii) of this Section 2.26), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 3

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

Section 3.01.    Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any assignee, after the date it became a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any law (including any CPA Change) or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a)    imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or

(b)    subject any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any taxes (other than Taxes, taxes subject to indemnification under Section 3.05(c), taxes described in parts (c) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise taxes or branch profits taxes, in each case imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

(c)    imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Advances, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Eurodollar Advances, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Advances, Letters of Credit or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Advances or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Advances, Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 3.01(b), this Section 3.01 shall not apply to any tax-related matters.

Section 3.02.    Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or an LC Issuer determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any

63

shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (a) any change after the Closing Date in the Risk Based Capital Guidelines, or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law (including any CPA Change), governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Closing Date which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any LC Issuer. “Risk Based Capital Guidelines” means (a) the risk based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Closing Date, including transition rules, and (b) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the Closing Date.

Section 3.03.    Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Advances at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (a) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (b) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04.

Section 3.04.    Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any actual loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom (excluding loss of anticipated profits), including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

Section 3.05.    Taxes.

(a)    All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.05) such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(b)    In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

64

(c)    The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.05) paid by the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.06. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer or by the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    Each Lender and LC Issuer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide certification evidencing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding taxes as required in this Section 3.05(d) shall not prevent a Person from becoming a Non-U.S. Lender under this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 12.03 in the case of a transfer), but shall affect such Person’s entitlement to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 as provided herein.

(e)    Each Lender and LC Issuer that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,

65

unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such U.S. Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(f)    For any period during which a Lender or LC Issuer has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05 (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or LC Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Lender or LC Issuer that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s expense as such Lender or LC Issuer shall reasonably request to assist such Lender or LC Issuer to recover such Taxes.

(g)    Any Lender or LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(h)    If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.05(h) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

(i)    In the case of an Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer that would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA on payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer fails 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, Administrative Agent or LC Issuer, as applicable, shall provide 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer has complied with such Administrative Agent’s, Lender’s or LC Issuer’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payments.

66

(j)    If a Lender or LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.05 it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.05 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or LC Issuer and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to such refund); provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or LC Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Lender or LC Issuer in the event the Lender or LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or LC Issuer to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or LC Issuer to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or LC Issuer to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

Section 3.06.    Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.03, so long as such designation is not, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 in connection with a Eurodollar Advance shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Advance through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 for any amounts paid or losses incurred by such Lender as to which such Lender has not made demand hereunder within 120 days after the date such Lender has actual knowledge of such amounts or losses and their applicability to the lending transactions contemplated hereby. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.07.    Inability to Determine Rates; Replacement of LIBOR.

(a)    If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that:

(A)    Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Advance, or

(B)    (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance or in connection with an existing or proposed Floating Rate Advance and (y) the circumstances described in Section 3.07(c)(i) do not apply (in each case with respect to this clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or

67

(ii)    the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of Section 3.07(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Floating Rate Advances in the amount specified therein.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 3.07(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 3.07(a), (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Entity has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(i)    On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(ii)    (x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of

68

any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that solely in the event that the then-current Benchmark at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.    

(iii)    At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

(iv)    In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(v)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.07(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.07(c).

(vi)    At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

69

Section 3.08.    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Entity has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Advances or to convert Floating Rate Advances to Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Floating Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which Floating Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender to Floating Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Floating Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.14: (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (w) above, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses; and (ii) at the time of incurrence or reclassification, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (w) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.14(a) and Section 6.14(c) may not be reclassified.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.14.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(B)    the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents pursuant to documents in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

Sections 6.22(a), (c) and (d) (and, if applicable, Section 6.27) at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or any other purposes hereunder, and there shall be no reduction in Indebtedness pursuant to any cash netting provision with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for the fiscal quarter for which such Specified Equity Contribution was made); provided that (A) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, and no more than five Specified Equity Contributions may be made from the Closing Date through the Revolver Termination Date and (B) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Sections 6.22(a), (c) and (d). If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Sections 6.22(a), (c) and (d), the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement. From the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution with respect to a fiscal period until the 15th day after financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to a breach of Sections 6.22(a), (c) or (d) with respect to such fiscal period, but any such breach shall not be deemed waived for purposes of Section 4.02 until such Specified Equity Contribution is received by the Borrower.

Section 6.23.    Subsidiary Guarantees. On the Closing Date and thereafter, on or before the 30th day following each date required for delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), the Borrower shall cause the following entities to be or become Guarantors hereunder: (i) each Material Domestic Subsidiary at such time, (ii) other Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries such that, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are Guarantors (considered without duplication and without consolidation with any of their respective Subsidiaries that are Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) account for at least (A) 90% of the total consolidated assets and (B) 90% of the total consolidated revenues, in each case of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries determined for the most recent fiscal quarter then ended (in the case of (A)) or most recent fiscal year then ended (in the case of (B)) and (iii) each Subsidiary that guarantees the Borrower’s obligations under the 2021 First Lien Notes and any permitted refinancing thereof. To effect the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause an Authorized Officer of each Subsidiary that is so required to become a Guarantor at such time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a joinder agreement under the Guaranty in a form (together with any related certificates and customary legal opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate notify the Administrative Agent if any Authorized Officer becomes aware that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary since the delivery of the most recent Compliance Certificate.

Section 6.24.    Collateral. Effective upon any Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause such Guarantor within fifteen Business Days after becoming a Guarantor (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a first (subject to Permitted Liens) priority security interest in all assets (including real property and the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) of such Guarantor pursuant to documentation (including related certificates and opinions) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower will, and will cause the Borrower and each of the Guarantors to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps

97

relating to the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) neither the Borrower nor any other Guarantor shall be obligated hereby to grant a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation, (b) the Collateral shall not include a security interest in any asset if the granting of such security interest would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions of contracts or applicable law (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code), (c) fee-owned real property having an individual fair market value of less than $2,500,000 or aggregate fair market value of less than $10,000,000 shall be excluded from the Collateral, (d) the Collateral shall not include Cash and Cash Equivalents, accounts receivable or Portfolio Securities, or deposit or security accounts (except to the extent that the foregoing are proceeds of Collateral; provided that in no event shall any control agreements be required) containing any of the foregoing, other assets requiring perfection through control agreements, letter-of-credit rights, leasehold real property, motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title (other than any corporate aircraft), interests in certain joint ventures and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of one or more third parties and obligations the interest on which is wholly exempt from the taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Code, (e) the pledge of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries shall be limited to 65% of the Capital Stock of material first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries, (f) the Administrative Agent shall have the discretion to exclude from the Collateral immaterial assets, assets as to which it and the Borrower determine that the cost of obtaining such security interest would outweigh the benefit to the Lenders and other assets in which it may determine that the taking of a security interest would not be advisable, and (g) no foreign law security or pledge agreements shall be required.

Section 6.25.    Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions. The Borrower hereby guarantees the payment and performance of all Secured Obligations of each other Loan Party and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each such other Loan Party in order for such other Loan Party to honor its obligations under the Guaranty including obligations with respect to Rate Management Transactions (provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this Section 6.25 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.25, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Loan Document, as it relates to such other Loan Parties, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 6.25 shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated. The Borrower intends that this Section 6.25 constitute, and this Section 6.25 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 6.26.    Anti-Corruption Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its businesses in compliance in all material respects with (i) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions that are applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and (ii) applicable Sanctions and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws.

Section 6.27.    Term Financial Covenant. Prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021), shall not be greater than 5.000:1.000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if (1) the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27 as of the end of any fiscal quarter prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date and (2) at any time after such fiscal quarter until the date that is 15 days after the date the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to such period pursuant to Section 6.01,

98

the Borrower receives a cash contribution to its equity capital in exchange for common shares of its Capital Stock and gives written notice to the Administrative Agent that such cash contribution has been received and is a Specified Equity Contribution, then the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution will be deemed to be an increase to Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.27 (and if applicable, Section 6.22) at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or any other purposes hereunder, and there shall be no reduction in Indebtedness pursuant to any cash netting provision with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for the fiscal quarter for which such Specified Equity Contribution was made); provided that (A) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made for purposes of curing a failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27, and no more than four Specified Equity Contributions may be made from the Closing Date through the Term Loan Maturity Date made for purposes of curing a failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.27 and (B) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.27. If after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations the Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.27, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement. From the date on which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution with respect to a fiscal period until the 15th day after financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Term Lender or any relevant Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to a breach of Section 6.27 with respect to such fiscal period, but any such breach shall not be deemed waived for purposes of Section 4.02 until such Specified Equity Contribution is received by the Borrower. It is understood and agreed that subject to the limitations of Sections 6.22 and 6.27, a single Specified Equity Contribution may be utilized for purposes of determining compliance with both Sections 6.22 and 6.27, if applicable.

Section 6.28.    Limitations on Dispositions of Material Registered IP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no Loan Party shall lease, sell or otherwise dispose of its Material Registered IP to any Person that is not a Loan Party, (ii) no Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall lease, sell or otherwise dispose of its Material Registered IP to any Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into non-exclusive licenses, sublicenses, leases or subleases of Material Registered IP entered into in the ordinary course of business that do not materially impair their use in the operation of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.18(l).

ARTICLE 8

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

Section 8.01.    Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.06 or 7.07 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender. If (i) a Revolver Financial Covenant Default occurs, the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans to be due and payable, or both, (ii) if a Term Financial Covenant Default occurs, the Required Term Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Term Lenders) may declare the Obligations with respect to the Term Loans to be due and payable, and (iii) any other Default occurs, subject to Section 8.02 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

101

enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or in the case of subsections 8.02(b), (d), (e) and (f), all of the Lenders):

(b)    Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;

(e)    Amend this Section 8.02 or Section 11.02 (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.25) may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Closing Date and this Section 8.02 may be amended by the Required Lenders to reflect such extensions of credit); or

(f)    Release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty, except, in either case, as contemplated by Section 10.10.

102

disapprove any such amendment, modification or waiver. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way limit or restrict the rights or remedies of the Term Lenders in connection with any Unmatured Default or Default other than a Revolver Financial Covenant Default (whether arising before or after the occurrence of the Revolver Financial Covenant Default) or the right of any Term Lenders to approve or disapprove any amendment or modification to any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document or to waive any Unmatured Default or Default other than a Revolver Financial Covenant Default.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document but subject to the proviso in Section 7.03, (i) no Revolving Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Unmatured Default or a Default if the only such Unmatured Default or Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Term Financial Covenant Default, (ii) no Revolving Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove (x) any amendment or modification to Section 6.27, (y) any waiver of a Term Financial Covenant Default or (z) any waiver or amendment of any requirement under any other provision that impacts only the Term Lenders or the Term Loans and (iii) it is understood and agreed that any Revolving Loans held by any Revolving Lender shall be excluded from any vote of the Lenders (and shall be deemed to not be outstanding) for the purposes described in clause (i) above and clause (ii) above, including in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have directed the Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising any such rights or remedies or to approve or disapprove any such amendment, modification or waiver.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loan made by such Swing Line Lender shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.01(b)(iv) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the consent of each such Lender directly affected thereby shall be required to (i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender, (ii) extend the final maturity of any Loan, (iii) forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any LC Disbursements or (iv) amend Section 2.24. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) the definition of “Revolver Financial Covenant Default” may not be amended without the written consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders and (y) the definition of “Term Financial Covenant Default” may not be amended without the written consent of the Required Term Lenders.

Section 8.03.    Replacement Loans. In addition, subject to Section 2.10 and 2.25, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the outstanding Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) or the replacement of all or a portion of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (the “Refinanced Commitment”) with one or more replacement term loan tranches hereunder which shall be Loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”) or one or more new revolving commitments (the “Replacement

103

Commitments”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall (i) not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans or (ii) if the Applicable Margin is higher, it shall reflect market terms for similar borrowers at the time of incurrence or issuance (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, at the time of such refinancing, (d) the aggregate amount of the Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Refinanced Commitment, (e) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Commitment shall (i) if incurred prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, not exceed the Applicable Margin for the Refinanced Commitment by more than 0.750% and (ii) if incurred after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Applicable Margin shall reflect market terms for similar borrowers at the time of incurrence or issuance (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), (f) the borrower of such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Commitment shall be the Borrower and (g) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans or Replacement Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans or Refinanced Commitments, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the Closing Date Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

Section 8.04.    Errors. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.02, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).

Section 8.05.    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.02 or as otherwise provided in Section 8.03 or 8.04, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers and the Co-Managers shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.08 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

(c)    To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the LC Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the LC Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the LC Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or LC Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 9.05.

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

106

(f)    The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

Section 9.07.    Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Section 9.08.    Non-Liability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the party from which recovery is sought or any dispute solely between or among the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager, the LC Issuer and/or any Lender and not involving the Borrower or its Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to ▇▇▇ for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

Section 9.09.    Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any Information (as defined below) which it may receive from the Borrower in connection with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates for use solely in connection with the performance of their respective obligations hereunder contemplated hereby, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory or self-regulatory officials, (d) to any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, provided that each such Person agreed to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as provided under this Section 9.09, (g) permitted by Section 12.02, (h) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances hereunder, (i) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement, (j) in connection with a due diligence defense, (k) to bank market-data collectors and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or (l) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and such source is not known by the Person receiving such Information to be in violation of this Section 9.09. Without limiting Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.09 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the Administrative Agent)

107

with respect to any Information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.09 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or representatives relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their agents or other representatives or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.09 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 9.10.    Non-Reliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) for the repayment of the Credit Extensions provided for herein.

Section 9.11.    Disclosure. The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that Bank of America and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates.

Section 9.12.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each Loan Party acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Co-Manager on the other hand, (B) the Borrower and each Loan Party have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each Loan Party are capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the

108

transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Arranger and the Co-Manager are and have been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Arranger nor the Co-Manager has any obligation to the Borrower nor any Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Arranger and the Co-Manager and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the Loan Parties and any of their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Arranger nor the Co-Manager has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.13.    USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

Section 9.14.    Lender ERISA Representations.

(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Manager and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified “by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

109

Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)    In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Section 9.15.    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Obligation or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

110

(b)    As used in this Section 9.15, the following terms have the following meanings:

ARTICLE 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 10.01.    Appointment and Authority.

(a)    Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the LC Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Article 8, Article 9 and this Article 10 (including Section 9.06, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 10.02.    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

111

Section 10.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

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

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

(d)    shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the LC Issuer;

(e)    shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(f)    shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender, prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

Section 10.04.    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any

112

liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the LC Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.05.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and shall in no event be a Disqualified Institution. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”) then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(iv), the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as

113

Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.07.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.08.    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, the Arrangers nor the Co-Manager listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the LC Issuer hereunder.

Section 10.09.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposures and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08, 2.22(k) and 9.06) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

114

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the LC Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the LC Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 9.06.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the LC Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the LC Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the LC Issuer or in any such proceeding.

Section 10.10.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the LC Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 8.02;

(b)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(c)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.18(r).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10. In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

Section 10.11.    Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any intercreditor agreement that may become necessary in connection with the issuance by the Borrower of the 2021 First Lien Notes (including the First Lien/First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the issuance by the Borrower of any Pari Passu First Lien Debt pursuant to Section 2.25 as attorney-in-fact on behalf of such Lender and agrees that in consideration

115

of the benefits of the security being provided to such Lender in accordance with the Collateral Documents and any such intercreditor agreement and by acceptance of those benefits, each Lender (including any Lender which becomes such by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01 after the date hereof) shall be bound by the terms and provisions of any such intercreditor agreement and shall comply (and shall cause any Affiliate thereof which is the holder of any “first priority obligations” (or similar term) to comply) with such terms and provisions.

Section 10.12.    The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. 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 ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any LC Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

Section 10.13.    Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a “Rescindable Amount” (any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies: (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation). Each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

ARTICLE 11

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

Section 11.01.    Setoff. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by

116

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 obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 11.02.    Ratable Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower 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 or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant pursuant to Section 12.01.

ARTICLE 12

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.01.    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.01(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

117

(b)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 12.01(b), participations in LC Exposures and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

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

(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the trade date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii)    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii)    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (or in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment, is to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender) or (3) in the case of assignments during the primary syndication of the Term Loan Commitments; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates;

118

(C)    the consent of the LC Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D)    the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

(iv)    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)    No such assignment shall be made (x) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (except with respect to the assignment of Term Loans in accordance with Section 12.01(j)) or (y) to any person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such assignment.

(vi)    No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 9.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.01(c).

Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make an assignment of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment to any Disqualified Institution.

(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Exposures owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

119

(d)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons) or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Exposures and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.01 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.02 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States of America on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not sell any participations of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment to any person who is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such sale.

(e)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.05(d) as though it were a Lender.

(f)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 12.01(b), Bank

120

of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC Exposures with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating Rate Advances or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.22(d)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating Rate Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.07. Upon the appointment of a successor LC Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h)    [Reserved].

(i)    [Reserved].

(j)    So long as no Specified Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures or (y) open markets purchases, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:

(i)    The Borrower shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such purchase and assignment that neither the Borrower nor any of its directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Term Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to the Borrower as applicable;

(ii)    The Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;

(iii)    borrowings of Revolving Loans shall not be made to directly fund the purchase or assignment;

(iv)    any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower;

121

(v)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower or the Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and

(vi)    the cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.10, but the face amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in above shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans.

(k)    The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

Section 12.02.    Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, actual or proposed assignee of an interest in the Obligations or Loan Documents (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by an agreement with provisions at least as restrictive as those provided under Section 9.09 of this Agreement.

Section 12.03.    Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(d) or (e), as applicable.

COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION; NO NOVATION

Section 14.01.    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. Except as provided in Article 4, 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 which, when taken together, bear the

124

signatures of each of the parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy (or other electronic means) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 14.02.    Electronic Execution of Assignments. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Borrower and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Neither the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank nor Swingline Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
