are not made pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender as a result of a nonpayment of outstanding Swing Line Loans, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage or Foreign Currency Ratable Portion, as applicable, of the unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of its respective Participation Interest in such Swing Line Loans in same day funds at the office of the Swing Line Lender specified or referred to in Section 10.02. In order to evidence such Participation Interest each Revolving Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to all parties. On such date, any Foreign Currency Swing Line Loans shall, without further action or notice being required, be converted to and become denominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof on such date. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest as provided in this Section 2.01(c)(vi), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swing Line Lender for correction of errors among banks in New York City for one Business Day and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

(vii) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to purchase Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (without limitation) (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction in the amount of the Revolving Commitments after any such Swing Line Loans were made, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender, (v) whether any condition specified in Article IV is then satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the forgoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swing Line Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid Participation Interest for all purposes of the Loan Documents other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the Participation Interest in Swing Line Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(vi) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

(viii) If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments at a time when a tranche or tranches of Extended Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.05(p)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing

Line Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such maturity date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolving Commitments, and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date.

Section 2.02 Notice of Borrowings.

(a) Borrowings Other Than Swing Line Loans. Except in the case of Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing not later than (x) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, 1:00 P.M. on (i) the Business Day immediately preceding each Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) the third Business Day before each Eurodollar Borrowing and (y) in the case of Foreign Currency Revolving Loans, not later than 11:00 A.M., London time, four Business Days before the date of the proposed borrowing (unless the Borrower wishes to request an Interest Period for such Borrowing other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” in which case the Borrower shall give such notice on the fourth Business Day (or fifth Business Day with respect to Foreign Currency Revolving Loans) before each such Eurodollar Borrowing), specifying:

(i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Approved Currency of such Borrowing;

The Borrower shall not be permitted to elect Base Rate for any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan. If the duration of the initial Interest Period is not specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an initial Interest Period of one month, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period and to Section 2.06(a).

(b) Swing Line Borrowings. The Borrower shall request a Swing Line Loan by written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 hereto (a “Swing Line Loan Request”) to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:30 P.M.

Each Swing Line Loan denominated in Dollars shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and each Swing Line Loan denominated in Euro shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan and, subject to Section 2.01(c)(ii), each Swing Line Loan shall have such maturity date as agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower upon receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the Swing Line Loan Request from the Borrower.

(c) L/C Borrowings. Each L/C Borrowing shall be made as specified in Section 2.05(e)(iv) without the necessity of a Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.03 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Notice to Lenders. If the Borrower has requested an Interest Period of nine or twelve months or less than one month in duration, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of such request to the Lenders having Commitments of the applicable Class and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than (x) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, 2:00 P.M. on the third Business Day before the requested date of such a Eurodollar Borrowing and (y) in the case of Foreign Currency Revolving Loans, not later than 11:00 A.M., London time, on the fourth Business Day before the requested date of the proposed borrowing of such Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of the Borrowing referred to therein, and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(b) Funding of Loans.

(i) Not later than 3:00 P.M., or, with respect to any Foreign Currency Revolving Loan, at the place and time specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time, on the date of each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing and a L/C Borrowing), each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall make the funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of JPMCB with the amount of such funds or (ii) in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent, wire transfer of such funds to such other account as may be specified for such purpose from time to time by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may have been otherwise specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts received from the Lenders in like funds, without interest.

(ii) Not later than 3:00 P.M., or, with respect to any Foreign Currency Swing Line Loan, at the place and time specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time, on the date of each Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Swing Line Lender that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, make available the amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to

the Borrower at the Swing Line Lender’s address referred to in Section 10.02.

(iii) Not later than 3:00 P.M., or, with respect to any Euro Letters of Credit, at the place and time specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time, on the date of each L/C Borrowing, each Revolving Lender shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), the Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer which has issued Letters of Credit having outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts as contemplated by Section 2.05(e)(v).

(c) Funding by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06, in the case of the Borrower, and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of such Lender. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to purchase Participation Interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. Other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, the failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder or to fund and Participation Interest shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the date of such Borrowing or fund any such Participation Interest, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such date of Borrowing or fund its Participation Interest.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Loans.

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

(b) Administrative Agent Records. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount and Approved Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable

from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Evidence of Indebtedness. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.04 shall be prima facie evidence absent demonstrable error of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall request and receive a Note or Notes as provided in Section 10.07 or otherwise, then the Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Note, Term A Note or Term B Note, as applicable, in each case, substantially in the form of Exhibit ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or B-3, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term A Loans or Term B Loans, as applicable. If requested by the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a single Swing Line Note (“Swing Line Note”), substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans.

(e) Note Endorsements. Each Lender having one or more Notes shall record the date, amount, Class and Type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any permitted transfer or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Dollar Letters of Credit and Euro Letters of Credit for the account, and upon the request, of the Borrower or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries and in support of (x) trade obligations of the Borrower and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries, which shall be payable at sight in Dollars or Euro, as applicable (each such letter of credit, a “Trade Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (y) such other obligations of the Borrower incurred for its general corporate purposes (each such letter of credit, a “Standby Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Standby Letters of Credit”), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (c) below, and (B) to honor drawings under its Letters of Credit, and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawing thereunder in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) below; provided that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount

Each request by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiary that the issuance or amendment of such Letter of Credit complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the period specified in clause (i)(A) above, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(b) Certain Limitations on Issuances of Letters of Credit.

(i) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if (A) subject to subsection (c) below with respect to Auto-Extension Letters of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months (or 24 months for Letters of Credit having an aggregate stated or face amount not exceeding (x) $10,000,000 in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) €10,000,000, in the case of Euro Letters of Credit, in each case at any time outstanding) after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date, (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date or (C) such Letter of Credit is to be used for any purpose other than for its general corporate purposes unless the Required Revolving Lenders have consented thereto.

(ii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having a force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is less than $100,000, in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, or $250,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit; (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Euro; or (E) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under subsection (e)

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and Approved Currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

If requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on such L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of the provisions of subsection (b)(i) or (ii) above or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (x) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (y) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If any Letter of Credit contains provisions providing for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder, (A) unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement, and (B) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders hereby authorize and direct the L/C Issuer to permit such automatic reinstatement, whether or not a Default then exists, unless the L/C Issuer has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the date that is two Business Days before the reinstatement date from the Administrative Agent, the Required Revolving Lenders or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied and directing the L/C Issuer to cease permitting such automatic reinstatement of such Letter of Credit.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(d) Purchase and Sale of Letter of Credit Participations. Immediately upon the issuance by an L/C Issuer of an Letter of Credit, such L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such L/C Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation interest in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the Revolving Committed Amount (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, and the Lenders (other than such L/C Issuer) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 10.07 or as otherwise adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the Participation

Interests in all outstanding Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations to reflect the adjusted Revolving Commitments of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.

(e) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and shall determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit whether such drawing should be honored. If the L/C Issuer determines that any such drawing shall be honored, such L/C Issuer shall make available to such beneficiary in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as to the amount to be paid as a result of such drawing and the payment date (each such date, an “Honor Date”).

(ii) The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by such L/C Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit (in the Approved Currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued), together with any and all reasonable charges and expenses which the L/C Issuer may pay or incur relative to such drawing calculated as of the date such L/C Issuer paid such amounts or paid or incurred such charges or expenses. Such reimbursement payment shall be due and payable (i) at or before (x) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 11:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on the date the Honor Date if the L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of such drawing at or before (x) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 10:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on the Honor Date or (ii) at or before (x) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 11:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on the next succeeding Business Day if such notice if given after (x) 12:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 10:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on the Honor Date; provided that no payment otherwise required by this sentence to be made by the Borrower at or before (x) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 11:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on any day shall be overdue hereunder if arrangements for such payment by virtue of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or a Swing Line Loan or other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer, in its reasonable discretion, shall have been made by the Borrower at or before (x) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 11:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on such day and such payment is actually made at or before (x) 3:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 12:00 P.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on such day. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer interest in the Approved Currency in which the Letter of Credit giving rise to such interest is issued, payable on demand, on any and all amounts not paid by the Borrower to the L/C Issuer when due under this subsection (e)(ii), for each day from and including the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such day. Each reimbursement and other payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be made to the L/C Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address referred to in Section 10.02.

(iii) Subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the

Borrower may, at its option, utilize the Swing Line Commitment or the Revolving Commitments, or make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, for the reimbursement of all L/C Disbursements as required by clause (ii) above.

(iv) With respect to any L/C Disbursement that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower when due under clauses (ii) and (iii) above (an “Unreimbursed Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share thereof such Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share of such unreimbursed L/C Disbursement (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing (a “L/C Borrowing”) of Dollar denominated Revolving Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01(a), but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Dollar denominated Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount outstanding on the date notice is given. Any such notice given by a L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent given pursuant to this clause (iv) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(v) Each Revolving Lender (including any Revolving Lender acting as L/C Issuer in respect of any Unreimbursed Amount) shall, upon any notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) above, make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds same day funds, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than (x) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit or (y) 11:00 A.M., London time with respect to Euro Letters of Credit, in each case on the Business Day specified in such notice, whereupon, subject to clause (vi) below, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar denominated Revolving Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in satisfaction of the Unreimbursed Amount to the extent of such funds.

(vi) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a L/C Borrowing pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) above because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender (other than the relevant L/C Issuer), and each such Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share of such Unreimbursed Amount (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Revolving Lenders shall be due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at or before 10:00 A.M. on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Revolving Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable L/C Issuer). Each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer in respect of an Unreimbursed Amount shall constitute a payment in respect

of its Participation Interest in related Letter of Credit purchased pursuant to subsection (d) above. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer its pro-rata share of any Unreimbursed Amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro-rata share of any payment made under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer such other Lender’s pro-rata share of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this clause (vi), such Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the L/C Issuer against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro-rata share of the related L/C Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon).

(vii) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to make payments in respect of its Participation Interests in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans as a part of a L/C Borrowing pursuant to clause (iv) above is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making by a Revolving Lender of a Revolving Loan or a payment by a Revolving Lender of an amount in respect of its Participation Interest in Unreimbursed Amounts shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(viii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection (e) by the time specified therefor, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (viii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Repayment of Funded Participations in Respect of Drawn Letters of Credit.

(i) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment of an L/C Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of an L/C Issuer any payments from the Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection (e) above (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender which has paid its pro-rata share thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s pro-rata share of the amount thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which the payments from the Revolving Lenders were received) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to clause (i) above is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro-rata share thereof (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.05(e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

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

(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

(iv) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

(v) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vii) any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any L/C Issuer or

any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s obligations hereunder.

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 immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(h) Role of L/C Issuers; Reliance. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of subsection (g) of this Section 2.05; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Each L/C Issuer shall be entitled (but not obligated) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on the representation and warranty by the Borrower set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.02 to establish whether the conditions specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 are met in connection with any issuance or extension of a Letter of Credit. Each L/C Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such L/C Issuer and upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopier, telex or teletype message, statement, order or

other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary unless the beneficiary and the Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer that such documents do not comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Each L/C Issuer shall be fully justified in refusing to take any action requested of it under this Section 2.05 in respect of any Letter of Credit unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Revolving Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Revolving Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting or continuing to omit, any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, each L/C Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Section 2.05 in respect of any Letter of Credit in accordance with a request of the Required Revolving Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant hereto shall be binding upon all Revolving Lenders and all future holders of participations in such Letter of Credit.

(i) Cash Collateral. If the Borrower is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations, the Borrower shall deposit in an account (which may be the L/C Cash Collateral Account under the Security Agreement) with the Collateral Agent an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such L/C Obligations. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the L/C Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Borrower, invest amounts deposited in such account in Cash Equivalents or, in the case of Euro Letters of Credit, Foreign Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Collateral Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any Law, (ii) such Cash Equivalents or Foreign Cash Equivalents, as applicable, shall be subjected to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the selection of such Cash Equivalents or Foreign Cash Equivalents, as applicable, shall be in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses relating to such investments in Cash Equivalents or Foreign Cash Equivalents, as applicable. Other than any interest or profits earned on such investments, 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 Collateral Agent to reimburse the L/C Issuers immediately for drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit and, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, to satisfy the L/C Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower upon demand; provided that, after giving effect to such return, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings would not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrower is required to deposit an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), interest or profits thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower after the full amount of such deposit has been applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the L/

C Issuer for drawings under Letters of Credit. The Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, the cash collateral account established hereunder (and all monies and investments held therein) to secure all L/C Obligations and Revolving Loans.

(j) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the “UCP”), as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(k) Conflict with L/C Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any L/C Document, this Agreement shall govern.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(m) Indemnification of L/C Issuers.

(i) In addition to its other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each L/C Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) that such L/C Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of such L/C Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government Acts”); provided that such indemnity shall not be available to the extent that such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such L/C Issuer.

(ii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an L/C Issuer, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Loan Party. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the L/C Issuers against any and all risks involved in the issuance of any Letter of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation, any and all risks, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future Government Acts. The L/C Issuers shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the L/C Issuers or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the L/C Issuers.

(iii) Nothing in this subsection (m) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation

of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.05. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (m) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of any L/C Issuer to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (n), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any L/C Issuer in respect of any liability incurred by the L/C Issuer arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any L/C Issuer of any liability to the Borrower in respect of any action taken by the L/C Issuer which action constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer or a violation of the UCP or Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(n) Resignation of an L/C Issuer. An L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 60 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that any such resignation shall not affect the rights or obligations of the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor, or terminate the unutilized L/C Commitment of such L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, if the Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized L/C Commitment, the Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Revolving Commitments are in effect reinstate such L/C Commitment in connection with the appointment of another L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer and the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment as L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor shall be a party hereto and have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(o) Reporting. Each L/C Issuer will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate face Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C

Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date, amount or Dollar Equivalent amount, as applicable, of such failure.

(p) If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more tranche or tranches of Extended Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(i). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the L/C Sublimit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

Section 2.06 Interest.

(a) Rate Options Applicable to Loans. Each Borrowing made prior to the Syndication Date shall be comprised of (except in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, which shall be made and maintained as Eurodollar Loans and shall bear interest at EURIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Revolving Loans) Base Rate Loans or (except in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars, which shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans, and L/C Borrowings, which shall be made initially as Base Rate Loans) Eurodollar Loans with a one, three or six-month (or of a duration less than one month as may be agreed to by all of the Lenders having Commitments or Loans of the applicable Class) Interest Period (ending on the same date), as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02. Each Borrowing made on or after the Syndication Date shall be comprised of (except in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, which shall be made and maintained as Eurodollar Loans and shall bear interest at EURIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Revolving Loans) Base Rate Loans or (except in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars, which shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans) Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower may not request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For this purpose, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether commencing on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(b) Base Rate Loans. Each Loan of a Class which is made as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan until it becomes due

or is converted into a Loan of any other Type, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the then Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Eurodollar Loan, on the date such Base Rate Loan is so converted. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by Law, interest on any Base Rate Loan of any Class shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans of the same Class for such day.

(c) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan of a Class shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, in the case of any Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loan or (y) EURIBOR for such Interest Period, in the case of any Foreign Currency Loan, plus the then Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by Law, interest on any Eurodollar Loan of any Class shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Eurodollar Loans of the same Class for such day (or, if the circumstances described in Section 3.02 and 3.03 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans of the same Class for such day). Except as set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 3.06, Foreign Currency Loans shall not bear interest at the Base Rate.

(d) Determination and Notice of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any notice with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall, without the necessity of the Administrative Agent so stating in such notice, be subject to the provisions of the definition of “Applicable Margin” providing for adjustments in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loans after the beginning of the Interest Period applicable thereto. When during an Interest Period any event occurs that causes an adjustment in the Applicable Margin applicable to Loans to which such Interest Period is applicable, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of such event and the adjusted rate of interest so determined for such Loans, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by Law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing herein or under the other Loan Documents shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan during such period pursuant to this Section 2.06 plus 2.00% (without duplication of any amount owing in respect of Base Rate Loans under the third sentence of Section 2.06(b) or in respect of Eurodollar Loans under the third sentence of Section 2.06(c)), (ii) in the case of interest on any Loan, the rate specified in the third sentence of Section 2.06(b) in respect of Base Rate Loans, or in the third sentence of Section 2.06(c) in respect of Eurodollar Loans, and (iii) in the case of any other amount, if expressly provided for herein, at the rate so provided and otherwise at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Base Rate Loans plus 2.00% interest paid in the same Approved Currency as Loan.

(f) Currency for Payment of Interest. All interest paid or payable pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be paid in the Approved Currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated.

Section 2.07 Extension and Conversion.

(a) Continuation and Conversion Options. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate allowed by Section 2.06 and as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may (x) in the case of Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans, elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or (y) in the case of any Eurodollar Loans, elect to continue such Loans as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 3.05 in the case of any such conversion or continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Except to the extent required by Section 3.03, Foreign Currency Loans may not be converted to Euro denominated Base Rate Loans. Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”) (which may be by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, which notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request to continue Loans as Eurodollar Loans or convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans in either case having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” then the applicable Notice of Extension/Conversion must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the fourth Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall (i) give prompt notice to the Lenders having Commitments or Loans of the applicable Class and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them and (ii) notify the Borrower not later than 12:00 Noon on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all of the Lenders having Commitments or Loans of the applicable Class.

If the outstanding Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall prepay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), Revolving Loans in such amounts as are necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment of the Swing Line Loans and the repayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. If the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations so that, after giving effect to the repayment of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations pursuant to this subsection (i), the aggregate Revolving Outstandings does not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. In determining the aggregate Revolving Outstandings for purposes of this subsection (i), L/C Obligations shall be reduced to the extent that they are Cash Collateralized as contemplated by this subsection (i). In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Foreign Currency Revolving Outstandings exceeds the Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall prepay Foreign Currency Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. Foreign Currency and the aggregate Foreign Currency Revolving Outstandings still exceeds the Maximum Foreign Currency SublimitForeign Currency Foreign Currency Foreign Currency Foreign Currency Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be applied ratably among outstanding Revolving Loans based on the respective amounts of principal then outstanding; provided, that no prepayment made of Revolving Loans shall be applied to Revolving Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

As used in this Section 2.09(b)(ii), the term “Applicable Percentage” for any fiscal year means (i) 50% or (ii) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year in respect of which Excess Cash Flow is being determined is less than 2.50 to 1.0, then the Applicable Percentage shall be zero for that fiscal year.

(iii) Asset Dispositions, Casualties and Condemnations, etc. (1) Subject to clause (xi) below, within five Business Days after receipt by any Group Company of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than any Excluded Asset Disposition), Casualty or Condemnation, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and/or any Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation; provided, that (x) no such prepayment caused by the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition shall be required to the extent that (1) the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Disposition or any series of related Asset Dispositions shall not exceed $5,000,000 and (2) the sum of such Net Cash Proceeds and all other Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions occurring after the Closing Date and during the same fiscal year does not exceed $30,000,000 (it being understood that a prepayment shall only be required of such excess) and (y) that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.09(b)(iii)(a) in

respect of any Asset Disposition if, on or prior to such date, the Borrower shall have given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intention to reinvest or cause to be reinvested all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(iii)(b) (which election may only be made if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing).

(2) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Asset Disposition (other than any Excluded Asset Disposition), at the option of the Borrower, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may reinvest or cause to be reinvested all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (provided if prior to the expiration of such three hundred and sixty-five (365)-day period, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds, such three hundred and sixty-five (365)-day reinvestment period shall be extended by one-hundred and eighty (180) days); provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested within such reinvestment period or are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be promptly applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.09.

(vi) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 8.03, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be applied as follows:

(A) with respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i), first to Swing Line Loans, second to Revolving Loans and third to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations;

(B) with respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(ii), to the Term B Loans (ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof or, at the option of the Borrower, in direct order for not more than the next four Principal Amortization Payments and then ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof), in each case subject to clause (x) below; and

(C) with respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(iii), (iv), or (v), first to the Term Loans pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans (or, at the option of the Borrower, first to the outstanding principal amounts of the Term B Loans and second to the outstanding principal amounts of the Term A Loans and third to any Incremental Term Loans) (in each case, within each Class of Term Loans ratably to the

remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof or, at the option of the Borrower, in direct order for not more than the next four Principal Amortization Payments and then ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof), in each case subject to clause (x) and (xi) below.

(vii) Order of Applications. Any amounts required to be applied to Revolving Outstandings as provided in Section 2.09(b)(i) above remaining after such application shall be applied to the Term Loans pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders (in each case, within each Class of Term Loans ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof), subject to clause (x) below. Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then, subject to subsection (viii) below, to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05. All prepayments under this Section 2.09(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, no prepayment made of Loans shall be applied to Loans of any Defaulting Lender.

(viii) Prepayment Accounts. Amounts to be applied as provided in subsection (vi) above to the prepayment of Loans of any Class shall be applied first to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans of such Class. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans of such Class immediately and/or shall be deposited in a separate Prepayment Account (as defined below) for the Loans of such Class. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans, upon withdrawal by the Collateral Agent, to prepay Eurodollar Loans of such Class on the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the Borrower, on any earlier date) until all outstanding Loans of such Class have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit in the Prepayment Account for such Class has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment Account” for any Class of Loans shall mean an account (which may include the Prepayment Account established under the Security Agreement) established by the Borrower with the Collateral Agent and over which the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this subsection (viii). The Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account for any Class of Loans in Cash Equivalents that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Periods of the Eurodollar Loans of such Class to be prepaid; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Collateral Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any Law, (ii) such Cash Equivalents shall be subjected to a First Priority Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the selection of such Cash Equivalents shall be in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses relating to such investments in Cash Equivalents so that the amount available to prepay Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the applicable Interest Periods is not less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest or profits earned on such investments, the Prepayment Accounts shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on the investments in any Prepayment Account shall accumulate in such Prepayment Account until all outstanding Loans of any applicable Class with respect to which amounts have been deposited in the Prepayment Accounts have been prepaid in full, at which time so much thereof as is not required to make payment of the Senior Credit Obligations which have become due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration or otherwise) shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent on the next Business Day following the day on which the Collateral Agent considers the funds deposited therein to be

collected funds and disbursed to the Borrower or its order. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause the Collateral Agent to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account for the applicable Class of Loans and, subject to Section 8.03, apply such funds to satisfy the Senior Credit Obligations of the applicable Class or Classes.

(ix) Notice. The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least five Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice of each and every event or occurrence requiring a prepayment under Section 2.09(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), including the amount of Net Cash Proceeds expected to be received therefrom and the expected schedule for receiving such proceeds; provided, however, that in the case of any prepayment event consisting of a Casualty or Condemnation, the Borrower shall give such notice within five Business Days after the occurrence of such event.

(x) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, each Lender will have the right to refuse any mandatory prepayment (other than a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(iv) with the proceeds of any Refinancing Term Loans or Refinancing Debt Securities) by giving written notice of such refusal to the Borrower within five Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such prepayment (and the Borrower shall not prepay any Loans until the date that is specified in clause (B) below) (such refused amounts, the “First Refused Proceeds”), (A) the First Refused Proceeds will be re-offered for prepayment to the applicable Lenders that have accepted and did not refuse their allocated portion of such prepayment under this Section 2.09(b)(x) above by the Administrative Agent promptly providing notice of such re-offer to each such Lender, each such Lender will have the right to refuse any such re-offer of prepayment by giving written notice of such refusal to the Borrower within five Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of such re-offer of prepayment (and the Borrower shall not prepay any Loans until the date that is specified in clause (B) below) (such refused amounts, the “Final Refused Proceeds”), (B) the Borrower will make all such prepayments not so refused upon the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day after the Lender received first notice of such prepayment from the Administrative Agent and (y) such time as the Borrower has received notice from any Lender that it consents to such prepayment, (C) thereafter, any remaining Final Refused Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to First Refused Proceeds relating to prepayments under Sections 2.09(b)(i) and (ii), such First Refused Proceeds may only be offered to Lenders eligible to initially receive such prepayments.

(xi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09(b), to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(iii), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty from a Foreign Subsidiary, or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary that either is (A) prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law from being repatriated to the United States, or (B) would result in a material adverse tax consequence to Parent Holdings, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries from such repatriation, in each case, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.09(b)(vii), or the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment at the time provided in Section 2.09(b)(vi), as the case may be. Instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local Law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local Law to permit such repatriation) or, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, a material adverse tax consequence to Parent Holdings, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries would result from such repatriation, and once such

repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local Law and, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, no material adverse tax consequence to Parent Holdings, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries would result from such repatriation, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) to the extent provided herein.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.13) or any other Loan Document, any Purchasing Borrower Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans of any Class to the applicable Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.09(c) and Section 10.07(j); provided that (A) no proceeds from Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or New Revolving Loans shall be used to consummate any such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all applicable Term Lenders on a pro rata basis, (C) at least five (5) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Voluntary Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower or at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the Borrower was notified that no applicable Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loans at the specified discount price or within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable and (D) the Purchasing Borrower Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (1) stating that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or under Section 8.01(f) (in each case, with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.09(c) and Section 10.07(j) has been satisfied and (3) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of each Class to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans of the Class stipulated therein in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Loans of each Class to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”) (it being understood that the Borrower may specify a different Discount Range for each Class of Loan offered to be prepaid), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(iii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each

such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of the Loans to be prepaid held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Loans to be prepaid specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, shall determine the applicable discount for such Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(ii)) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower will pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans. Any Lender with outstanding Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying in accordance with Section 10.07(j) those Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(v) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.05), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall (x) specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent and (y) shall include a representation from the Borrower that, at the time of delivery of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice and as of the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment date, it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Parent Holdings, the Borrower, their

respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of the United States securities laws that has not been disclosed to any Lender participating in such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, other than because such Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Parent Holdings, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. The par principal amount of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Class of Term Loans (as applicable).

(vi) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.09(c)(ii) above) established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(vii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw or modify its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the Borrower after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.

(viii) Nothing in this Section 2.09(c) shall require the Borrower to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

(d) Currency for Prepayments. Except as provided in Section 2.09(a), all prepayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be paid in the Approved Currency in which such Loan is denominated.

Section 2.10 Revolving Commitments.

(a) Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments (Pro-Rata). The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof , in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, or in minimum aggregate amounts of €2,000,000 or any whole multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Foreign Currency Revolving Loans (or, in each case, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount or cause the Foreign Currency Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit as so reduced, unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid (and, after the Revolving Loans have been paid in full, the Swing Line Loans are repaid and, after the Swing Line Loans have been paid in full, the L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized) to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; provided, further, that the Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit shall be reduced ratably at any time that Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to this Section 2.10, such that the Maximum Foreign

Currency Sublimit shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, any fees accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). Any partial reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders pro-rata based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided that (A) any such termination or reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Revolving Commitments of each of the Revolving Lenders, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any New Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.15, the Revolving Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such New Revolving Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to, greater than or less than (as determined by the Borrower and such Lender) the amount of the New Revolving Commitments provided on such date (provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Loans made on such date, the Revolving Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Commitment and (y) in connection with any such non-pro rata termination or reduction, to the extent necessary, the participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans may be required to be reallocated and related loans outstanding prepaid and then reborrowed, in each case in the manner contemplated by Section 2.15(f)(ii) (as modified to account for a termination or reduction, as opposed to an increase, of the Revolving Commitments) ; provided, further, that the Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit shall be reduced ratably at any time that Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to this Section 2.16, such that the Maximum Foreign Currency Sublimit shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.

(b) Termination; Pro Rata Application. The Revolving Commitments (other than any Extended Revolving Commitments) of the Lenders and the L/C Commitments of the L/C Issuers shall terminate automatically on the Revolving Termination Date. The Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender shall terminate automatically on the Swing Line Termination Date. The Extended Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the respective maturity dates applicable thereto.

(c) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender has demanded compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, (ii) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.01 or any other provision of any Loan Document requires the consent of all of the Lenders of a Class or Classes and with respect to which the Required Lenders for such Class or Classes shall have granted their consent, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to (i) remove such Lender by terminating such Lender’s Commitment in full or (ii) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment to one or more existing Lenders or Eligible Assignees pursuant to Section 10.07; provided, however, that (x) if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that have similar requests then outstanding for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 or whose obligation to make Eurodollar Loans has

been similarly suspended and (y) in the case of any replacement of Lenders under the circumstances described in clause (iv) above, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that the Borrower has requested shall become effective upon giving effect to such replacement (and any related Assignment and Assumptions required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this paragraph (e)). The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) shall be effective on the tenth Business Day following the date of notice of such replacement to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) each replacement Lender and/or Eligible Assignee, and the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of each Lender subject to replacement, shall have satisfied the conditions to an Assignment and Assumption set forth in Section 10.07(b) and, in connection therewith, the replacement Lender(s) and/or Eligible Assignee(s) shall pay:

(A) to each Lender subject to replacement an amount equal in the aggregate to the sum of (x) the principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, its outstanding Loans, (y) all L/C Disbursements that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) it under Section 2.05, together with all accrued but unpaid interest with respect thereto, and (z) all accrued but unpaid fees owing to it pursuant to Section 2.11; and

(B) to the L/C Issuers an amount equal to the aggregate amount owing by the replaced Lenders to the L/C Issuers as reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.05, to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such replaced Lenders; and

(ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each replaced Lender all obligations owing to such replaced Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than those obligations of the Borrower referred to in clause (i)(A) above).

In the case of the removal of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), upon (i) payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender subject to such removal of an amount equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations held by such Lender and (B) all accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Article III or Sections 10.04 and 10.05, and (ii) provision by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer of appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) as each may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation of such removed Lender to purchase Participation Interests in any L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans then outstanding, such Lender shall, without any further consent or other action by it, cease to constitute a Lender hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article III and Sections 10.04 and 10.05) shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of a removed Lender with respect to any Loans made, any Letters of Credit issued or any other actions taken by such removed Lender while it was a Lender.

(d) General. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10, on the date of each

termination of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Commitment Fee accrued through the date of such termination on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated.

Section 2.11 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (subject to Section 2.17(a)) a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the daily Unused Revolving Commitment Amount, computed at a per annum rate for each day at a rate equal to the then applicable rate per annum set forth under clause (c) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.01. The Commitment Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on the Revolving Termination Date) for the quarter or portion thereof ending on each such date, beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date with the first such payment due no earlier than the last Business Day of March following the Closing Date.

Such fronting fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date after the

issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.

(iv) L/C Issuer Fees. In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (ii) above and any fronting fees payable pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the customary charges from time to time of the L/C Issuer with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Issuer Fees”). L/C Issuer Fees are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(v) Computation of Certain Fees after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Standby Letter of Credit Fee and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable under subsections (i) and (ii) above shall be computed at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Applicable Margin with respect to the L/C Fee (including both the Standby Letter of Credit Fee and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee) as set forth in the applicable table in the definition of “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.01 hereof plus 2.00%.

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.12 Pro-rata Treatment.

(a) Loans. Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be disproportionately allocated to or retained by a particular Lender or group of Lenders (including in connection with the payment of interest or fees at different rates and the repayment of principal amounts of Term Loans at different times as a result of any amendment effected in accordance with Section 2.15 or 2.16), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the L/C Issuer Fees retained by an L/C Issuer for its own account and the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account), each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro-rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, or with respect to Term Loans, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the applicable Term Loans then held by the applicable Term Lenders, as applicable, of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and Participation Interests of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum.

(b) Letters of Credit. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each

payment of L/C Obligations shall be allocated to each Revolving Lender pro-rata in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that, if any Revolving Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable pro-rata share of any L/C Disbursement as required under Section 2.05(e)(iv) or (vi), then any amount to which such Revolving Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this subsection (b) shall instead be payable to the L/C Issuer.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have for payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan, L/C Obligation or other obligation in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Loan, L/C Obligation or other obligation purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the obligations purchased. If under any applicable Debtor Relief Law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.13 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.13 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 2.14 Payments; Computations.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans, L/C Obligations and fees hereunder (other than fees payable directly to the L/C Issuers) shall be paid not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the Borrower. Each such payment shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and irrespective of any claim or defense to payment which might in the absence of this provision be asserted by the Borrower or any Affiliate against the any Agent or any Lender. All prepayments and repayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) shall be made in the Approved Currency in which such Loan is denominated. Payments received after

2:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) below or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(vi), the Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payments under this Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loan, Letters of Credit, fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and if it fails to specify or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to paragraph (d) below, to Section 2.08, to Section 2.09(b)(vi) and to Section 2.12 , distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate). The Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion, distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M.; otherwise the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payment to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of Law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. Other than with respect to Foreign Currency Swing Line Loans, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to debit any account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent to pay when due any amounts required to be paid from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) Distributions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice (which may be by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing) from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(c) Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by JPMCB’s “prime rate” and all computations of fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue from and including the date of borrowing (or continuation or conversion) but excluding the date of payment; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.14(a), bear interest for one day.

(d) Certain Payments after an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Finance Obligations and any Proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section

2.09(b)(vi) and paragraph (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and (upon either (i) the written direction of the Required Lenders or (ii) acceleration of the Senior Credit Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02), shall apply all payments in respect of any Finance Obligation, all funds in any Prepayment Account or other cash collateral account and all other Proceeds of Collateral according to Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 2.15 Incremental and Refinancing Facilities.

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Syndication Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments or any previously established Class of New Revolving Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (iii) one or more new revolving credit commitments (the “New Revolving Commitments” and together with the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, the “Incremental Facilities”); provided that both at the time of any such request and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Additional Credit Extension Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Commitment is made or effected (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist; provided, further, that, with respect to any Incremental Facility established at any time after an aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities in excess of $50,000,000 have been established (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Incremental Facility established in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 regardless of whether any Incremental Facilities have previously established), after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans or the establishment of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Commitments (and after giving effect to any Specified Transaction to be consummated in connection therewith) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 and assuming all Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and New Revolving Commitments were fully borrowed, the Total Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently ended as of the last day of the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in respect of which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 prior to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility, calculated on a Pro-Forma Basis, would be no greater than 3.0 to 1.0.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans), each Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase and each class of New Revolving Commitments (other than Replacement Revolving Commitments) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); provided that (x) Refinancing Term Loans shall be permitted to refinance or replace, in whole, and not in part, any Class of Term Loans or previously borrowed Incremental Term Loans outstanding as of the date of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans and shall be in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of each Class of existing Term Loans to be replaced or refinanced by such Refinancing Term Loans (plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest, reasonable fees and premiums thereon and fees and expenses in connection therewith) and (y) Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be permitted to refinance or replace, in whole, and not in part, any Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans or previously established New Revolving Commitments or New Revolving Loans, in each case outstanding as of the date of the establishment of such Replacement

Revolving Commitments and shall be in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the aggregate principal amount of the each Class of Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans or previously established New Revolving Commitments or New Revolving Loans to be replaced or refinanced by such Replacement Revolving Commitments (plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid interest, reasonable fees and premiums thereon and fees and expenses in connection therewith), and Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans), Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitment (other than in respect of Replacement Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted solely to the extent either (x) after giving effect thereto, the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) plus (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases plus (III) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness previously issued pursuant to Section 7.01(xiv) (other than Permitted Refinancing in respect thereof previously incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(xiv) to the extent already included in this subclause III) plus (IV) the aggregate principal amount of all New Revolving Commitments (other than in respect of Replacement Revolving Commitments) would not exceed $50,000,000 or (y) at the time of incurrence thereof and after giving effect thereto and the use of the proceeds thereof and assuming all Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and New Revolving Commitments were fully borrowed, the Total Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently ended as of the last day of the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in respect of which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 prior to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility, calculated on a Pro-Forma Basis, would be no greater than 3.0 to 1.0.

(c) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and in security with the Term Loans borrowed on the Closing Date (such Term Loans, the “Initial Term Loans”), (ii) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Term Loans, (iii) shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the Initial Term Loans, (iv) shall have an amortization schedule (subject to clause (iii) above), and interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums for the Incremental Term Loans as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that, in the event that interest rate margins for any Tranche B Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) are higher than the interest rate margin for the Term B Loans by more than 0.50% (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower), then, subject to the second proviso of this clause (c), the Applicable Margins for the Term B Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest rate margins for such Tranche B Incremental Term Loans are equal to the interest rate margins for the Term B Loans minus 0.50%; provided that for purposes of this clause (iv), in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Tranche B Incremental Term Loans and the Term B Loans (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under the Term B Loans or any Tranche B Incremental Term Loans, in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID or upfront fees being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity and assuming all Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and New Revolving Commitments were fully borrowed), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to any of the Joint Lead Arrangers (or their respective Affiliates) in connection with the Term B Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) of any Tranche B Incremental Term Loan shall be excluded and (z) if the Tranche B Incremental Term Loan includes an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the Term B Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate

margin solely for purposes of determining whether the interest rate margin of such Tranche B Incremental Term Loans is higher than the interest rate margin under the Term B Loans by more than 0.50% and to the extent the difference in the interest rate floors would cause the interest rate margins of such Tranche B Incremental Term Loans to be higher than the interest rate margins for the Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, the interest rate floor (but not in any event the interest rate margin) applicable to the Term B Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors (for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the difference in interest rate floor result in an Applicable Margin), (v) shall not participate in any mandatory prepayment on a greater than pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans and (vi) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Initial Term Loans; provided that (except with respect to the matters contemplated by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above) any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Revolving Commitments or the previously established Class of New Revolving Commitments (including with respect to maturity date thereof), as applicable and shall be considered to be part of the Revolving Facility or the applicable existing New Revolving Facility.

(e) With respect to New Revolving Commitments, (i) extensions of credit thereunder shall rank pari passu in right of payment and in security with the Revolving Loans and any previously established New Revolving Loans, (ii) such New Revolving Commitments (and the extensions of credit thereunder) shall have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such commitments, (iii) shall contain borrowing, optional repayment and optional termination of Revolving Commitment procedures as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such commitments, (iv) may include provisions relating to swingline loans and/or letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder, which issuances shall be on terms substantially similar (except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the swingline lender and L/C Issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrower, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable L/C Issuers and swingline lenders and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment) to the terms relating to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit with respect to the Revolving Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (v) may include additional or different financial or other covenants to be applicable only during the periods after the Latest Maturity Date as of the date of establishment of such New Revolving Commitments, and (vi) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Revolving Facility; provided that (except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above) any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be given in writing and shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitments may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan

or to provide a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Commitment) or by any Additional Lender; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender, (ii) the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitments, as applicable, if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender and (iii) the existing Lenders shall be offered an opportunity to provide any Incremental Facility prior to any Additional Lender.

(g) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Additional Credit Extension Amendment may, subject to Section 2.15(c), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. The effectiveness of any Additional Credit Extension Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof and such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and New Revolving Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(h) No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or New Revolving Commitments, except as they may separately agree.

(i) Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments or any existing Class of New Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, each Lender with a Commitment of the applicable Class immediately prior to such increase shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender shall automatically acquire, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans (or letters of credit or swing line loans under the applicable Class of New Revolving Commitments, as the case may be) 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 (or such letters of credit) and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans (or such swing line loans) held by each Lender with a Commitment of the applicable Class (including each such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Commitments of such Class of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Commitment of such Class. If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans or New Revolving Loans of the applicable Class outstanding, as applicable, such Revolving Loans or New Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the

effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans or New Revolving Loans made hereunder pursuant to the Class of Commitments being increased (reflecting such increase in the Commitments of the applicable Class), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans or New Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. 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.

(j) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10 to the contrary.

Section 2.16 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Commitments with a like termination date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans (as defined below) shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01(c)(viii) and 2.05(p) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages (and except as provided in Sections 2.01(c)(viii) and 2.05(p), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred

or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments ) which have more than three different maturity dates, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08 for periods prior to the Maturity Date for Term B Loans may not be increased, (v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (x) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.09 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction

contemplated by this Section.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, the consent of the L/C Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Senior Credit Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Senior Credit Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section.

(e) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10 to the contrary.

Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(ii) the Commitment of and the Revolving Outstandings of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01); provided that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or

extended without the consent of such Lender;

(iii) if any Swing Line Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (v) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender and such Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, (w) to the extent that all or any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure cannot, or can only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.17(a)(iii)(v) above or otherwise, the Borrower shall within two Business Days for Term Loans, and for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days, following notice by the Administrative Agent (I) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) and (II) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.17(a)(iii), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized, (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.17(a)(iii), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.17(a)(iii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the L/C Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

(iv) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of

any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, in the case of a Revolving Lender, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any L/C Disbursement that has not been reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.05 (any such L/C Disbursement, an “Unpaid Drawing”), such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.17(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 Section 2.05 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(v) the L/C Issuer will not be required to issue any new Letter of Credit or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the face amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless the L/C Issuer is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.17(a)(iii) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer; and

(vi) the Swing Line Lender will not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless the Swing Line Lender is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or a combination thereof in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.17(a)(iii) above.

(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and any Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.17(a)(iii) above shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Net of Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (x) taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office, (y) any U.S. branch profits taxes or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction referred to in clause (x) above and (z) in the case of a Foreign Lender other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.10(c)), any U.S. federal withholding taxes resulting from any Law (including FATCA) in effect on the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with Section 10.15, except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to this Section 3.01 any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being herein referred to as “Taxes”). If a Withholding Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies (including mortgage recording taxes) which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document except any taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.10(c) as a result of a present or former connection between the assigning Lender and the Governmental Authority imposing such tax, charge or levy, other than a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or having been a party to or having enforced this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

under Section 3.01(a)(i) if the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

(e) Indemnification by Lenders. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender and such failure to withhold or backup withhold was directly caused by such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 10.15 hereof, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(f) Certain Recoveries. If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any 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 3.01, 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 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 3.02 Illegality. (a) If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable Law, or any change in any applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending

Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund any of its Eurodollar Loans at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Dollar denominated Base Rate Loans into Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(a), such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Dollar denominated Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loan, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (ii) immediately, if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

(a) If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable Law, or any change in any applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund any of its Eurodollar Loans at EURIBOR and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each Euro denominated Eurodollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Euro denominated Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro denominated Eurodollar Loan, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (ii) immediately, if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. (1) If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan made at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments (“Market Disruption Lenders”) advise in writing the Administrative Agent (with copies of such writings provided to the Borrower) that the London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period ((i) or (ii),

a “Market Disruption Event”);

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (“Market Disruption Notice”) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Dollar denominated Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of any Dollar denominated Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Dollar denominated Base Rate Borrowing in the same aggregate amount as the requested Borrowing and shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan made at EURIBOR:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,(x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable EURIBOR for such Interest Period or (y) or that the Euro is not available to the Lenders in sufficient amounts to fund any Foreign Currency Borrowing; or

(ii) Lenders having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments (“Foreign Currency Market Disruption Lenders”) advise in writing the Administrative Agent (with copies of such writings provided to the Borrower) that the EURIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period ((i) or (ii), a “Foreign Currency Market Disruption Event”);

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (“Foreign Currency Market Disruption Notice”) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro denominated Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Euro denominated Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of any Euro denominated Eurodollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Euro denominated Base Rate Borrowing in the same aggregate amount as the requested Borrowing and shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such day.

(c) If, during any period in which a Market Disruption Event or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Event, as applicable, is in effect, the Borrower believes in good faith that the circumstances giving rise to such Market Disruption Event or Foreign Currency Market

Disruption Event, as applicable, are no longer applicable, the Borrower may request, through the Administrative Agent, that either (i) the Administrative Agent or (ii) the Market Disruption Lenders or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Lenders, in each case, as applicable, confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Event, as applicable, continue to be in effect. If, upon five Business Days following such confirmation request, the Market Disruption Lenders or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Lenders, as applicable, or Administrative Agent have not confirmed the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Notices or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Notices, as applicable, then the applicable Market Disruption Event or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Event, as applicable, shall be deemed to be no longer effective as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period for any outstanding Eurodollar Loan, as applicable; provided, that (A) the Borrower shall not be permitted to submit each such request more than once in any 30 day period and (B) nothing contained in this Section 3.03(c) or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Notice or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Notices, as applicable, shall in any way affect any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to provide any additional Market Disruption Notices or Foreign Currency Market Disruption Notices, as applicable, as provided for in Sections 3.03(a) or 3.03(b) above.

Section 3.04 Increased Costs and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a change of law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued:

(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any Eurodollar Loans made by it or any of its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or to participate in Letters of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) in respect thereof (except for (A) Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 (including Taxes imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 10.15) and (B) changes in taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise tax (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office, branch or any affiliate thereof));

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) any other

condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy, or compliance by such Lender, or its parent corporation, with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a change of law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to subsection (a) above or this subsection (b) for any additional costs or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such additional costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intentions to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the change in Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof giving rise to such additional costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section 3.04 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, a Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation or payment pursuant to this Section 3.04 only to the extent that it is the general policy and practice of such Lender to demand such compensation or payment in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements (and such Lender so certifies to the Borrower).

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender or the L/C Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 Business Days after receipt of the same.

(d) Promptly after any Lender becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its reasonable judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Lender so to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, except as expressly otherwise provided above. The protection of this Section 3.04 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by any Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to convert or continue any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.07, (iii) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise) or (v) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted, not borrowed or assigned (based on the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion, failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) or assignment over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted, not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period or assignment, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.06 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. (a) If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Dollar denominated Base Rate Loans as or to, Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04 with respect to its Dollar

denominated Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Dollar denominated Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Dollar denominated Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Dollar denominated Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.

(a) If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue, Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04 with respect to its Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as) Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Euro denominated Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Euro denominated Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro denominated Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro denominated Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.

Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Finance Obligations hereunder.

The Parent Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Parent Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of Parent Holdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

The projections prepared as part of, and included in, the Pre-Commitment Information (which include projected balance sheets and income and cash flow statements on a quarterly basis through October 31, 2012 and on an annual basis for each fiscal year thereafter until the respective Maturity Dates of the Loans) were prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements referred to in subsection (a) above and were based on good faith estimates and assumptions stated therein made by management of the Borrower at the time made (which assumptions are fair in light of then existing conditions).

Each Group Company has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, except for Permitted Liens and minor defects in title that either do not interfere with its ability to (i) conduct its business or (ii) utilize such properties and assets as intended. All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Each Group Company enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases with respect to which it is the lessee except for those leases in which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.09 Environmental Compliance. No Group Company has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain, or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or is subject to any Environmental Liability in any case which, individually or collectively, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability the subject of which notice could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Group Company knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability against any Group Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

other governmental charges (including mortgage recording taxes, documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes) owing by it, except for such taxes (A) which are not yet delinquent or (B) that are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings diligently pursued, and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be required to disclose to the Agents any information that, in the opinion of counsel to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, is prohibited by Law to be disclosed, is subject to attorney client privilege or constitutes attorney work product or the disclosure of which would cause a material breach of a binding non-disclosure agreement with a third party to the extent such agreement is not made in contemplation of the avoidance of this Section 6.10.

required by the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6.12 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 60 days (or such longer period reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) after such action is either requested to be taken by the Collateral Agent or required to be taken by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.12.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, unless and until such Event of Default has been waived in writing with the consent of those Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 10.01, the Administrative Agent (or with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent) shall, upon the request and direction of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, take any of the following actions without prejudice to the rights of the Agents or any Lender to enforce its claims against the Loan Parties except as otherwise specifically provided for herein:

(a) Termination of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.

(b) Acceleration of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans, any reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind owing by a Loan Party to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Loan Parties.

(c) Cash Collateral. Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), it will immediately pay) to the Collateral Agent additional cash, to be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the L/C Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 102% of the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

(d) Enforcement of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies existing under the Collateral Documents, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of set-off. In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Collateral Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable Law.

(e) Enforcement Rights Vested Solely in Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Lenders agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and, with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent, and that no other Finance Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(f) shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically terminate, all Loans, all reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit, all accrued interest in respect thereof and all accrued and unpaid fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, which notice or other action is expressly waived by the Loan Parties.

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or (i) after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 8.02 or (ii) there shall have occurred any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral), any amounts received on account of the Finance Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

FIRST, to payment of that portion of the Senior Credit Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Senior Credit Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, commitment fees and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Lender or L/C Issuer) and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this

clause Second payable to them;

THIRD, to payment of that portion of the Senior Credit Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid L/C Fees and interest on the Loans, commitment fees, L/C Borrowings and other Senior Credit Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

FOURTH, to payment of that portion of the Finance Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings, amounts owing in respect of Cash Management Obligations and amounts owing under Swap Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Swap Creditors and the Persons owed Cash Management Obligations in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

FIFTH, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and

LAST, the balance, if any, after all of the Finance Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.05(e), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Finance Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Section 8.04 Rescission of Event of Default. If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears in interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.01 then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the lenders and the L/C Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

ARTICLE IXAGENCY PROVISIONS

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Agents.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes JPMCB as Administrative Agent, and Collateral Agent, each of

Barclays Bank PLC and RBC Capital Markets as Co-Documentation Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association as Co-Syndication Agents, and each Lender and each L/C Issuer authorizes each such Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that such Agent may have under such Loan Documents and, in the case of the Collateral Documents, to act as agent under such Collateral Documents for the Finance Parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(c) Instructions of Required Lenders. Without limiting an Agent’s right to exercise the discretion granted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and each L/C Issuer, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon the Lenders; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that (x) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless such Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to such action or (y) is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees to give to each other Agent and each Lender and each Issuer prompt

notice of each notice given to it by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(d) Agency Duties Limited to Applicable Classes. In performing their respective functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers except to the limited extent provided in Section 10.07(c), and (ii) the Collateral Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Senior Credit Parties, and each of their respective duties are entirely administrative in nature. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent assumes or shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, L/C Issuer or holder of any other Finance Obligation.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent-Related Person shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or participants for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Loan Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by an Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Loan Parties or any Affiliate thereof.

Section 9.04 Reliance on Communications.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater

number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent; No Reliance on Arrangers’ or Agents’ Customer Identification Program.

(a) Independent Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

(b) U.S. Patriot Act Customer Identification Programs. Each Lender

acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees may rely on the Arranger or any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the U.S. Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 C.F.R. 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identification procedures; (ii) and recordkeeping; (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices; or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

Section 9.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans and Participation Interests of the Lenders), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent-Related Person; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment); provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided, further, that to the extent that an L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.07 solely in its capacity and role as L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 9.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of the Senior Credit Obligations and all other obligations and amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

Section 9.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. JPMCB and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though JPMCB were not the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under another Loan Document and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, JPMCB or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, JPMCB shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or a Collateral Agent,

and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include JPMCB in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09 Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent (as to one or more Classes) or Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that any such resignation by JPMCB shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation by the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent , as the case may be, selected from among the Lenders, in the case of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, in the case of the resignation of the Collateral Agent. In any case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article IX as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent (and, if applicable, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender) and the respective terms “Administrative Agent,” “L/C Issuer,” “Swing Line Lender,” and “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, the retiring L/C Issuer’s and Swing Line Lender’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated and the retiring Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If no successor Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring

Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Senior Credit 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) 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 to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 2.09 and 10.04.

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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Senior Credit Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Actions Taken by Agents or Required Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater or lesser proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent or Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or lesser proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, L/C Issuers, Senior Credit Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the sole authority to (A) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and

accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) act as Collateral Agent for the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Senior Credit Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, that the Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and L/C Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit accounts maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, (C) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (D) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (E) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise to the exclusion of the Finance Parties all remedies given to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the other Senior Credit Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

(b) Certain Actions in Respect of Security Interests and Guaranties. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) 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 (C) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.02(xviii) and (xxii);

(iii) 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

(iv) in connection with the incurrence by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is secured by Liens permitted by Section 7.02(xx), at the request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) agrees to execute and deliver an intercreditor agreement in accordance with such Section 7.02(xx), and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements thereto. In connection with any such amendment, restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification, the Loan Parties shall deliver such officers’ certificates and supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action contemplated by the preceding sentence, and any such amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver of or supplement to or other modification of any such Loan Document shall be effective notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.01.

and provided, further, that any waiver, amendment or modification of this

Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to requirements of Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

(d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.

All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 10.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to any reasonably necessary special counsel and up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees unless representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, a Collateral Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, a Collateral Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. 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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (h) of this Section (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 Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans, its Notes, its Commitments and any Participation Interest in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by it); provided, however, that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any Approved Fund, (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, be less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall equal the assigning Lender’s entire Revolving Commitment) and (B) the aggregate amount of any Term Loans of an assigning Lender subject to each such assignments (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, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, be less (with respect to Term Loans) than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall equal the assigning Lender’s entire Term Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (x) 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 any such minimum amount has been met and (y) such minimum amounts will not apply to any assignment to the Borrower pursuant to a prepayment permitted by Section 2.09(c) of this Agreement;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders’ rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);

(iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and, only with respect to any assignment of all or a portion of the Revolving Committed Amount, the L/C Issuers for their acceptance an Assignment and Assumption in the form of Exhibit C, together with any Note subject to such assignment and to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that (x) such recordation fee shall not apply to any assignment by any of the Joint Lead Arrangers or any of their respective affiliates hereunder or to any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assigning Lender and (y) simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Funds under common management shall require the payment of only a single processing and recordation fee); and

(v) if applicable, the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the information referred to in Section 10.19(b).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this

Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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, 10.04, 10.05 and 10.22 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 or Notes 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. 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 L/C Obligations 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.

(d) Participations. 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 (x) a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (y) any Disqualified Lender) (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 L/C Obligations, Foreign Currency Loans 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 Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 Section 10.01 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 subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 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 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (other than the Borrower) (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation satisfies the requirements under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations to be in registered form or, if different requirements apply, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provisions or related Treasury Regulations).

(e) Limitation on Certain Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 or such entitlement is attributable to a change in applicable Law after the sale of the participation to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 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 10.15 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Other Assignments. 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) Certain Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Eligible Assignee” means (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender, (iii) an Approved Fund and (iv) any other Person (other than a natural Person) approved by (A) the Administrative Agent, (B) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender and (C) unless (x) such Person is taking delivery of an assignment in connection with physical settlement of a credit derivatives transaction or (y) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing at the time any assignment is effected pursuant to Section 10.07(b), the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and, with respect to assignments of Term Loans only, any such approval required of the Borrower to be deemed given by the Borrower if no objection from the Borrower is received by the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after notice of such proposed assignment has been provided by the assigning Lender to the Borrower); provided, however, that (i) if JPMCB or one or more of its Affiliates is a L/C Issuer, any assignment of a Revolving Commitment (including any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall require its consent, (ii) none of the Borrower and its Affiliates

shall qualify as Eligible Assignees (except as provided in clause (j) below) and (iii) with respect to assignments of Term B Loans only, during the thirty (30) day period following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment to any Lender if such Lender was previously identified in the initial allocations of the Loans provided by the Joint Lead Arrangers to the Borrower (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Person that is a Disqualified Lender); and provided, further, that (x) no Person shall be an Eligible Assignee if such Person appears on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons prepared by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control or the purchase by such Person of an assignment or the performance by any Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents with respect to such Person violates or would violate any Anti-Terrorism Law and (y) no Disqualified Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee.

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, its parent company or Subsidiary of either, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Disqualified Lender shall be an Approved Fund.

(h) Other Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.03(b). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other Finance Obligations of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public

information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Certain Assignments by JPMCB. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMCB assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, JPMCB may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMCB as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If JPMCB resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or purchase Participation Interests in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.05(d)). If JPMCB 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 Base Rate Loans or purchase Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(vi).

(j) Borrower Buybacks. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to a Purchasing Borrower Party in accordance with Section 10.07(b) (which assignment will not constitute a prepayment of Loans for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); provided that:

(A) the Purchasing Borrower Party shall, in conformity with Section 2.09(c), offer to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans to buy the Term Loans within such Class on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans of such Class, pursuant to procedures to be reasonably agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

(C) for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party;

(D) each Purchasing Borrower Party that purchases any Term Loans shall make a representation that, as of the date of any such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.07, it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of the United States securities laws that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender prior to such date, other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities;

(E) no Purchasing Borrower Party may use the proceeds from Revolving

Loans or Swingline Loans or New Revolving Loans to purchase any Term Loans; and

(F) any Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.

Section 10.08 Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to it and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or compulsory legal process based on the advice of counsel (in which case the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Law, rule or regulation, to notify the Borrower promptly thereof prior to disclosure); (iii) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction, or purporting to have jurisdiction over, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (in which case the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Law, rule or regulation, to notify the Borrower promptly thereof prior to disclosure); (iv) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(f), (C) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (D) any Additional Lender, (v) with the consent of the Borrower or (vi) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Lender may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise

describing the names of the Loan Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense.

Section 10.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or specific) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against obligations and liabilities of such Loan Party to the Lenders hereunder, under the Notes, under the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Loan Parties hereby agree that to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01(c), 2.05(d), 2.13, 2.15, 2.16 or 10.07(d) may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by such Loan Party to the Lender.

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be charged or contracted for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.10, shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such Lender shall have received such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of payment.

Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

Section 10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto

or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agents and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Senior Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.15 Tax Forms.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of paragraph (b) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment, such completion, execution or submission would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 10.15. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 10.15 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if such Lender is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that it is not legally able to deliver.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W−9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax

treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, IRS Form W−8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W−8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W−8ECI;

(iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W−8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, Exhibit M-3 or Exhibit M-4 (each, a “U.S. Tax Certificate”), as applicable, to the effect that such Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

(v) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender), (1) an IRS Form W−8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this paragraph (b) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided that if such Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(vi) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation as shall be necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(c) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 10.15(c), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement

Section 10.16 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any

provision of this Agreement.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) Nothing herein shall (x) in any way be deemed to limit the ability of any Lender or Agent to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over any Loan Party or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such matter, as may be permitted by applicable Law or (y) affect the right of any Lender or Agent to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law or shall limit the right of any Lender or Agent to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction.

THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 10.19 U.S. Patriot Act Notice; Lenders’ Compliance Certification.

(a) Notice to Borrower. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Patriot Act it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of Holdings and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

(b) Lenders’ Certification. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a State thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the U.S. Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking regulatory authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the U.S. Patriot Act and the applicable regulations thereunder: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date or, if later, the date such Lender, assignee or participant of a Lender becomes a Lender, assignee or participant of a Lender hereunder and (ii) at such other times as are required under the U.S. Patriot Act.

Each Lender understands and agrees that if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.03, it shall not be entitled to vote on any matter requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or to object to any matter requiring the consent of all the Lenders adversely affected thereby; provided, however, that all other benefits and obligations under the Loan Documents shall apply to such Defaulting Lender, except as provided in Section 2.03(e).

Section 10.21 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective at such time when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.22 Judgment Currency.

(a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a Finance Party of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or another Loan Document. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding

the date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 10.23, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Section 10.23 Conflict. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any other Loan Document, on the other hand, this Agreement shall control.

Section 10.24 No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.
