documentation reasonably requested by it in connection with the relevant Uncommitted Incremental Facility which shall be reasonably satisfactory to it, (4) the Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral covered by the Security Documents, including without limitation, the Mortgages as a result of such increase and (5) the Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders providing Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Term Loans and to the Administrative Agent as the Borrower and such Additional Lenders and Administrative Agent shall agree.

Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have terms and conditions as mutually agreed by the Borrower and such Additional Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if the “effective yield” per annum applicable to a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to take account of any interest rate benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the weighted average life of such loans and (y) four years) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the “effective yield” per annum then applicable to any Loans or any other tranche of Incremental Term Loans (determined on the same basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical, with the comparative determination to be made in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice) by more than (I), in the case of Incremental Term Loans constituting A Term Loans, 0.25% or (II), in the case of Incremental Term Loans constituting B Term Loans, 0.75% (in each case, the amount of such excess being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such existing Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans) subject to a Yield Differential shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Term Loans, (ii) the final stated maturity date for a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be the same as or later than the latest Maturity Date hereunder and (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, if any.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 (provided that in each case such amount may be less (x) if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.16(a) or (y) such amount represents the amount of Commitments and/or Loans of non-consenting Lenders replaced pursuant to an Incremental Amendment within 30 days after any termination of their Commitments and/or repayment of their Loans under Section 14.12(b)).

Agent and the Borrower (in the case of clauses (x) and (y), each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing RL Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16; provided that no Lender shall be required to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase or any Incremental Term Loans unless such Lender (i) has agreed in its sole discretion to provide such Revolving Commitment Increase and/or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) has entered into an Incremental Amendment in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any such Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(a) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the Net Cash Proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans under Revolving Commitment Increases for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries not in contravention of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to each Incremental Facility Closing Date, and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of the respective Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Term Loans and (ii) within a reasonable time after the effective date of any such increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Schedule 1.01A to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the RL Lenders (including any Additional Lender) or Incremental Term Loans of the TL Lenders (including any Additional Lender), whereupon such revised Schedule 1.01A shall replace the old Schedule 1.01A and become part of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon each increase in any Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, (A) each RL Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such RL Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each RL Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such RL Lender’s RL Percentage determined after giving effect to such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments (subject to any reallocation of such participations pursuant to Section 2.13) and (B) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments) to the extent necessary so that the RL Lenders participate in each outstanding Revolving Loan pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages determined after giving effect to such increase in Revolving Loan Commitments, which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.10. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower provided for in this Section 2.16, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.10 which the Borrower would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an

increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments. 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 second preceding sentence.

This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary.”

9. Section 3.01(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new sentence at the end thereof:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above and at the request of the Borrower, any Letter of Credit may be stated to be for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided that (x) each such Letter of Credit shall (i) for all purposes of this Agreement be for the joint and several account of the Borrower and such Subsidiary (who shall be jointly and severally obligated for all Obligations with respect thereto) and (ii) benefit from the guaranties provided pursuant to the Guaranties and shall be secured by the same Collateral securing the Obligations and (y) the respective Subsidiaries designated as account party shall deliver such documentation (including, without limitation, customary letter of credit applications and reimbursement agreements) as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender consistent with the terms of the Credit Documents.”

“Collateral Release Date” shall mean the date after the Subsequent Second Amendment Effective Date on which the Borrower (x) satisfies the Collateral Release Condition and (y) provides written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent requesting that the Liens on all Collateral of the Credit Parties granted to or held by the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Creditors) pursuant to the Security Documents be released.

“Collateral Release Condition” shall mean the satisfaction of each of the following: (i) Holdings has an Investment Grade Rating, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no issuance of Permitted Second Lien Notes is secured by Liens on any assets that constitute Collateral.

“Investment Grade Rating” shall mean both (i) the public corporate credit rating of Holdings from S&P is equal to or more favorable than BBB- and (ii) the public corporate family rating of Holdings from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is equal to or more favorable than Baa3.

“Release” shall have the meaning provided in Section 10.10(j).

“Subsequent Second Amendment Effective Date” shall have the meaning set forth in the Second Amendment.

3. The definition “Applicable Margin” appearing in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety as follows:

Rating (S&P/Moody’s)	Eurodollar Margin (% per annum)		Base Rate Margin (% per annum)		Applicable Commitment Commission Rate (% per annum)

Category 5 Ba3/BB- or lower (or unrated)	2.50	%	1.50	%	0.50	%

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a public corporate family rating of Holdings or a public corporate credit rating of Holdings, respectively, (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating

agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5; (ii) if the public corporate family rating of Holdings from Moody’s and the public corporate credit rating of Holdings from S&P established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Commission Rate shall be based on (x) the higher of the two ratings if either rating is in Category 2 or above or (y) the lower of the two ratings if both of the ratings are in Category 3 or below, unless, in either case, the lower rating is more than one Category lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Commission Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next below that of the higher of the two ratings and (iii) if the public corporate family rating of Holdings from Moody’s and the public corporate credit rating of Holdings from S&P established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Commission Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Commission Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all B-1 Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type and (B) all B-1 Term Loans made on the Initial Borrowing Date shall be incurred as Base Rate Loans, and (z) shall not be incurred on any date occurring prior to the Merger Closing Date if, after giving effect to the making of the respective B-1 Term Loans and the related reductions to the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(x), the B-1 Blocked Amount would exceed the then remaining Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment. On the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall be required to borrow $100,000,000 of B-1 Term Loans, but may borrow such larger principal amount as is permitted hereunder. Once repaid, B-1 Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

(ii) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a B-2 Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, at par and any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and on or prior to the earlier of (A) the B-1 Conversion Date and (B) the Merger Closing Date, a term loan or term loans (each, a “B-2 Term Loan” and, collectively, the “B-2 Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which B-2 Term Loans (v) shall be denominated in Dollars, (w) may not be made until such time as (or if concurrently therewith) B-1 Term Loans are incurred in such amounts so that the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment is reduced to $0, (x) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that (A) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all B-2 Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type and (B) all B-2 Term Loans made on the Initial Borrowing Date shall be incurred as Base Rate Loans, (y) shall not be incurred on any date occurring prior to the Merger Closing Date if, after giving effect to the making of the respective B-2 Term Loans and the related reductions to the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(y), the B-2 Blocked Amount would exceed the then remaining Total Term Loan Commitment and (z) shall be automatically converted on the B-1 Conversion Date into B-1 Term Loans of such Lender hereunder in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding B-2 Term Loans of such Lender on such date. Once repaid, B-2 Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

(iii) On the B-1 Conversion Date, (w) all accrued but unpaid interest on all B-2 Term Loans shall be paid in full (regardless of whether same would otherwise then be due and payable on such date), (x) the B-2 Term Loans being converted into B-1 Term Loans pursuant to the B-1 Conversion shall be deemed repaid on the date of such B-1 Conversion for purposes of Section 2.11 (and the Borrower agrees to pay any amounts owing pursuant to said Section 2.11 as a result thereof), (y) the aggregate principal amount of B-1 Term Loans resulting from the B-1 Conversion shall be added (on a proportionate basis) to each of the then outstanding Borrowings of B-1 Term Loans, in each case so that, after giving effect to the B-1 Conversion, each Lender of B-1 Term Loans (including as a result of the B-1 Conversion) participates ratably (based on its total outstandings of B-1 Term Loans) in each then outstanding Borrowing of B-1 Term Loans and (z) at the request of any Lender which converted B-2 Term Loans into any Borrowing of B-1 Term Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans on a day other than the first day of the respective Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for such amounts as are reasonably determined by it to constitute costs (losses) incurred by it as a result of the requirement to fund such Loan during an existing Interest Period as opposed to funding same on the first day of an Interest Period.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that (A) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (B) all Revolving Loans made on the Initial Borrowing Date shall be incurred as Base Rate Loans, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (iv) shall not exceed for any such Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time.

(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Swingline Loans), an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(c), (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists with respect to an RL Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swingline Loans (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans (such arrangements, the “Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

(d) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default then exists under Section 12(h)

or 12(i)) and the RL Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or 12(i) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 12), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL Lenders pro rata based on each such RL Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 12, if applicable) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 8 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 12), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 10 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate for all Tranches of Loans.

2.03. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred

hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s (or, in the case of the Initial Borrowing Date, same Business Day’s) prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1 or another form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute B-1 Term Loans, B-2 Term Loans or Revolving Loans, it being understood that the incurrence of B-2 Term Loans shall be subject to the restrictions contained in sub-clause (w) of Section 2.01(a)(ii), (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (v) in the case of a Borrowing of Term Loans prior to the Merger Closing Date, detailed calculations of the Blocked Amount (with a breakdown to show the B-1 Blocked Amount, the B-2 Blocked Amount and the Bridge Loan Blocked Amount). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of any Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(d); provided, however, that the making of such Mandatory Borrowings shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Holdings or the Borrower that any of the conditions specified in Section 8 are satisfied as of the time such Mandatory Borrowings are made.

(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline

Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans or any Loans made on same day’s notice on the Initial Borrowing Date as permitted pursuant to Section 2.03, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(d)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the date of such Borrowing, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the Borrower as otherwise provided above. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay on demand such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be

evidenced (i) in the case of B-1 Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “B-1 Term Note” and, collectively, the “B-1 Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of B-2 Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “B-2 Term Note” and, collectively, the “B-2 Term Notes”), (iii) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and (iv) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”). On and after the B-1 Conversion Date, each Lender which has had an increase in outstanding B-1 Term Loans as a result of the B-1 Conversion shall be entitled to receive a new B-1 Term Note evidencing all its then outstanding B-1 Term Loans; provided that if a B-1 Term Note or B-2 Term Note has previously been issued to such Lender, such Lender shall surrender such Note or Notes to the Borrower or provide it with a customary lost note indemnity.

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the

Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2 or another form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of B-1 Term Loans, B-2 Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their B-1 Term Loan Commitments, B-2 Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, provided that (x) all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages and (y) the B-1 Conversion shall occur in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise then applicable to such Loan and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are

maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans of any Tranche, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. In addition, accrued and unpaid interest with respect to B-2 Term Loans shall be due and payable upon the occurrence of the B-1 Conversion.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent approved by each Lender with Loans and/or Commitments under the relevant Tranche, nine or twelve month period, provided that (in each case):

(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a

day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date (determined without regard to the provisos to the component defined terms used in the definition of Maturity Date) for such Tranche of Loans;

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of B-1 Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Date if the aggregate principal amount of such B-1 Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such B-1 Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment; and

(viii) the only Interest Periods that may be selected prior to the occurrence of the Syndication Date shall be one-month periods.

If by 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i)(A) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent, and with respect to clause (i)(B) below may be made only by the Administrative Agent, acting at its own discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, (A) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or (B) the Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the

principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, or (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law);

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (i)(B) or (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to each affected Lender, upon such affected Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine in good faith) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive

or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement 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 to be a change after the Restatement Effective Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, if enacted, adopted, issued or implemented after the Restatement Effective Date, for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

2.11. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or

repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 12) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or other compensation in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 14.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (i) in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 14.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans (it being understood that if there are both outstanding Commitments and Loans of a given Tranche, all such Commitments and Loans must be replaced) of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender or (ii) in case of replacements as described in clauses (x) and/or (y) above, at the option of the Borrower, to replace the respective Lender with respect to a given Tranche of its Loans and related Commitments (if any), rather than to replace the respective Lender with respect to all Tranches; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Borrower (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower and the Replacement Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and

participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (b) the outstanding Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments of a given Tranche, the outstanding Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments of such Tranche of the Lender being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments of the respective Lender) all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche or Tranches, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments of a Replaced Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(b) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and the Borrower shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 14.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans, a Term Loan Commitment and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and

14.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.14. Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the latest to occur of the Merger Closing Date, the B-1 Conversion Date and the Syndication Date (for this purpose, determined without regard to clause (y) thereof), conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by MS&Co. or another investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vi) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, (A) Holdings’ corporate rating by S&P shall not be less than BB- (with a stable outlook) and (B) Holdings’ corporate family rating by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ shall not be less than Ba3 (with a stable outlook);

(vii) prior to commencing an Auction, the Borrower shall have discussed same with each of S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and, based upon such discussions, shall reasonably believe that the proposed purchase of Term Loans through such Auction shall not be deemed to be a “distressed exchange”;

(viii) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction,

neither S&P nor ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ shall have announced or communicated to the Borrower that the proposed purchase of Term Loans through such Auction shall be deemed to be a “distressed exchange”;

(xii) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (vi) through (viii).

(b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 14.06.

2.16. Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.16, at any time and from time to time after the Initial Second Amendment Effective Date (i) the Borrower shall have the right, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), to request an increase of the aggregate then outstanding Revolving Loan Commitments on the same terms and conditions, including the Applicable Margin and other pricing matters (except that any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees may be agreed to among the Borrower, the existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments and any Additional Lenders without the consent of any other party to this Agreement) as the then-existing Revolving Loan Commitments (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (ii) the Borrower shall have the right, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), to request the establishment of one or more tranches of new term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), in a maximum aggregate principal amount for all such Revolving Commitment Increases and Incremental Term Loans not to exceed the sum of $500,000,000 plus the amount of Commitments and/or Loans of non-consenting Lenders replaced pursuant to a Incremental Amendment within 30 days after any termination of their Commitments and/or repayment of their Loans under Section 14.12(b) (any such Revolving Commitment Increase and/or tranche of Incremental Term Loans hereinafter referred to as an “Uncommitted Incremental Facility”), provided that (i) each such request of the Borrower for a Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be an offer to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment by its RL Percentage of the proposed increased amount, (ii) each Lender, in its sole discretion, may either (A), within 10 Business Days of the date of such request, agree to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or (B) decline to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that, to the extent an existing Lender does not agree to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment, such non-allocated increase may be provided by Additional Lenders as set forth in clause (c) below and/or the other existing Lenders in a manner determined by the Borrower, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, (iii) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or result therefrom and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or result therefrom, (iv) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, all of the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in Section 9 and in each other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such time (it being understood and agreed that (x) any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date and (y) any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such date), (v) any such Uncommitted Incremental Facility shall benefit from the guaranties provided pursuant to the Guaranties, shall be secured by the same Collateral securing the Obligations, shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Obligations, and shall rank pari passu in right of security with the Obligations and (vi) prior to or

substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, (1) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders, if any, and the applicable Additional Lenders (as defined below), if any, shall have executed and delivered such Incremental Amendment, (2) Holdings shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate (accompanied to the extent applicable by calculations in reasonable detail) executed by a Responsible Officer of Holdings certifying that (I) the relevant Uncommitted Incremental Facility (and the Indebtedness thereunder) may be incurred in compliance with Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ material Indebtedness and (II) after giving effect to any incurrence of Indebtedness under the relevant Uncommitted Incremental Facility, Holdings is in compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 11.11 and 11.12, in each case, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, (3) the Administrative Agent shall have received a legal opinion or legal opinions from counsel to the Borrower and all other documentation reasonably requested by it in connection with the relevant Uncommitted Incremental Facility which shall be reasonably satisfactory to it, (4) the Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral covered by the Security Documents, including without limitation, the Mortgages as a result of such increase and (5) the Borrower shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders providing Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Term Loans and to the Administrative Agent as the Borrower and such Additional Lenders and Administrative Agent shall agree. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have terms and conditions as mutually agreed by the Borrower and such Additional Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if the “effective yield” per annum applicable to a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to take account of any interest rate benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the weighted average life of such loans and (y) four years) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the “effective yield” per annum then applicable to any Loans or any other tranche of Incremental Term Loans (determined on the same basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical, with the comparative determination to be made in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice) by more than (I), in the case of Incremental Term Loans constituting A Term Loans, 0.25% or (II), in the case of Incremental Term Loans constituting B Term Loans, 0.75% (in each case, the amount of such excess being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such existing Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans) subject to a Yield Differential shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Term Loans, (ii) the final stated maturity date for a given tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be the same as or later than the latest Maturity Date hereunder and (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity applicable to the then outstanding Term Loans, if any.

$25,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $5,000,000 (provided that in each case such amount may be less (x) if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.16(a) or (y) such amount represents the amount of Commitments and/or Loans of non-consenting Lenders replaced pursuant to an Incremental Amendment within 30 days after any termination of their Commitments and/or repayment of their Loans under Section 14.12(b)).

(c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(a) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have any right (except to the extent expressly provided in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 2.16(a) in the case of the right of existing Lenders to provide portions of any Revolving Commitment Increase) or obligation to provide all or any portion of any Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that (i) no such existing Lender or Additional Lender may at such time be a Defaulting Lender and (ii) any Additional Lender which is not an existing Lender (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase, which is not an existing RL Lender) shall be subject to the approval of, (x) in the case of Revolving Commitment Increases, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Borrower and (y) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in the case of clauses (x) and (y), each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing RL Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16; provided that no Lender shall be required to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase or any Incremental Term Loans unless such Lender (i) has agreed in its sole discretion to provide such Revolving Commitment Increase and/or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) has entered into an Incremental Amendment in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any such Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(a) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the Net Cash Proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans under Revolving Commitment Increases for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries not in contravention of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to each Incremental Facility Closing Date, and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of the respective Revolving Commitment Increases or Incremental Term

Loans and (ii) within a reasonable time after the effective date of any such increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Schedule 1.01A to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the RL Lenders (including any Additional Lender) or Incremental Term Loans of the TL Lenders (including any Additional Lender), whereupon such revised Schedule 1.01A shall replace the old Schedule 1.01A and become part of this Agreement.

This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 60th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (for this purpose, determined without regard to the proviso to the definition thereof), for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an

irrevocable standby or trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, issued on a sight basis only and governed by laws of the State of New York (unless the laws of another jurisdiction is agreed to by the respective Issuing Lender) and governed under The International Standby Practices (ISP98).

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 60th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (for this purpose, determined without regard to the proviso to the definition thereof), following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; or

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above and at the request of the Borrower, any Letter of Credit may be stated to be for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided that (x) each such Letter of Credit shall (i) for all purposes of this Agreement be for the joint and several account of the Borrower and such Subsidiary (who shall be jointly and severally obligated for all Obligations with respect thereto) and (ii) benefit from the guaranties provided pursuant to the Guaranties and shall be secured by the same Collateral securing the Obligations and (y) the respective Subsidiaries designated as account party shall deliver such documentation (including, without limitation, customary letter of credit applications and reimbursement agreements) as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender consistent with the terms of the Credit Documents.

3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings

(exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) the L/C Aggregate Maximum Amount (determined after giving effect to any proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to the Consent Decree to secure the satisfaction of the Consent Decree Phosphogypsum Stack Liability) or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (for this purpose, determined without regard to the proviso to the definition thereof), and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (for this purpose, determined without regard to the proviso to the definition thereof).

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C or another form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender, in each case appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). The Borrower may request to amend or modify an issued Letter of Credit so long as (x) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile) and (y) the issued Letter of Credit as amended or modified is permitted under the terms and conditions herein.

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 8, as applicable, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to any RL Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such

Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing each Defaulting Lender’s RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 14.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on

demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any 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;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than two Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or 12(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or 12(i), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligation to repay such drawing and interest thereon as provided herein.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower may seek damages (but not punitive or consequential damages) from any Issuing Lender to the extent resulting from any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the

interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive issued after the Effective Date by the NAIC or any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Issuing Lender or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions and Increases of Commitments.

4.01. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting RL Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at the Applicable Commitment Commission Rate of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in

arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each RL Lender (based on each such RL Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the date of termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or such other amount as agreed to by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender). Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the date of termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger such fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger, as the case may be.

4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time after the Merger Closing Date, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of a termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), given in conjunction with a notice of the prepayment in full of all Loans pursuant to Section 5.01(a), may state that the respective notice is conditioned upon the

effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 14.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding the payment of amounts owing in respect of Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 14.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01A shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

4.03. Mandatory Reduction or Conversion of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment (and the Commitments of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on July 31, 2010, unless the Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or prior to such date.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, (x) the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced on each B-1 Term Loan Borrowing Date (immediately after giving effect to the borrowing of B-1 Term Loans on such date) by the aggregate principal amount of B-1 Term Loans borrowed on such date, (y) the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced on each B-2 Term Loan Borrowing Date (immediately after giving effect to the borrowing of B-2 Term Loans on such date) by the aggregate principal amount of B-2 Term Loans borrowed on such date, and (z) the Total Term Loan Commitment (and the Term Loan Commitments of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Merger Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Term Loans on such date).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 12.

(e) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Term Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced on the Merger Closing Date (before any borrowings on such date) in an aggregate amount equal to the greater of (i) $0 and (ii) (x) $145,000,000 minus (y) the aggregate premiums paid (or to be paid) in connection with the purchase or retirement of Target Existing Notes. All reductions to the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) shall be applied (i) first, to reduce the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment as then in effect and (ii) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment as then in effect.

(f) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, if on any date on or after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, Holdings receives any cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of its Equity Interests, an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or issuance of Equity Interests shall apply to permanently reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment as then in effect (and before giving effect to any borrowings on such date). All reductions to the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03(f) shall be applied (i) first, to reduce the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment as then in effect and (ii) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment as then in effect.

(g) Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the B-1 Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with a B-1 Term Loan Commitment. Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the B-2 Term Loan Commitment of each Lender with a B-2 Term Loan Commitment.

(h) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the B-2 Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically converted on the B-1 Conversion Date into a B-1 Term Loan Commitment of such Lender hereunder in an amount equal to the then remaining B-2 Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on such date and the B-2 Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans (or same day notice in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans) and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Eurodollar Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether B-1 Term Loans, B-2 Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of Term Loans

pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case), (y) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (z) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case), provided that if any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto unless otherwise repaid at or prior to the end of the Interest Period then in effect) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans, provided that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender; (iv) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to the then outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis; provided that if any voluntary repayment of Term Loans is made before the B-1 Conversion Date with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more issuances of Equity Interests by Holdings, then such voluntary prepayment shall be applied (A) first, to then outstanding B-2 Term Loans until same are repaid in full and (B) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to then outstanding B-1 Term Loans; and (v) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to reduce any Scheduled Term Loan Repayment (or any combination of Scheduled Term Loan Repayments), in each case in aggregate amount equal to the principal amount of the respective prepayment of Term Loans, at the direction of the Borrower in its sole discretion; provided that any amount applied to the prepayment of B-2 Term Loans pursuant to the proviso to preceding clause (iv) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Term Loan Repayment after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, voluntary prepayments of Term Loans may not be made on or prior to the Merger Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers and the Bridge Lead Arranger. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of the prepayment in full of all Loans pursuant to Section 5.01(a), given in conjunction with a notice of the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 4.02(a), or a notice of prepayment of Term Loans, may state that the respective notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of an issuance of Equity Interests by Holdings or one or more issues of Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 14.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01A shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents, if any, required by Section 14.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Term Loan Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

5.02. Mandatory Repayments. (a) On any day on which the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (III) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings, exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans, in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Permitted Investments equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Permitted Investments to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (x) on each Quarterly Payment Date, beginning with the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in September, 2010, the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is equal to ¼ of 1% of the aggregate initial principal amounts of all Term Loans theretofore borrowed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement (without double counting any B-2 Term Loans converted into B-1 Term Loans), and (y) on the Term Loan Maturity Date (with the Term Loan Maturity Date and each Quarterly Payment Date described in preceding clause (x), each a “Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay in full the entire principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding (with each such repayment pursuant to this Section 5.02(b), as the same may be reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.02(h), a “Scheduled Term Loan Repayment”). All repayments pursuant to this clause (b) shall be applied to repay

outstanding B-1 Term Loans, as all theretofore outstanding B-2 Term Loans shall have been required to be converted into B-1 Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof prior to the initial Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Date.

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 11.01, except that Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (B) of Section 11.01(i) shall not be excluded pursuant to this parenthetical), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default then exists and such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 11.03(b) within 540 days following the date of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) are not so reinvested within such 540-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale or Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, so long as no Event of Default then exists and if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Payment Period is less than or equal to 1.25:1.00 (but greater than 0.75:1.00), the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 25% for the respective Excess Cash Payment Period; provided further that so long as no Event of Default then exists and is continuing and if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Payment Period is less than or equal to 0.75:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 0% for the respective Excess Cash Payment Period.

(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Merger Closing Date upon which Holdings receives any cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of its Equity Interests, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or issuance of Equity Interests shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).

(g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied (i) first, if on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, to reduce (on a dollar for dollar basis) the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment, (ii) second, if on or prior to the Merger Closing Date, and if the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment has been terminated, to reduce (on a dollar for dollar basis) the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment, (iii) third, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and (iv) fourth, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (to the extent then outstanding). The amount of each principal repayment of outstanding principal of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be applied (i) pro rata to the then outstanding Term Loans of the Lenders; provided that any payments required pursuant to Section 5.02(c) and (f) prior to the B-1 Conversion Date shall be required to be applied (x) first, to then outstanding principal of B-2 Term Loans until they are paid in full and (y) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to repay then outstanding principal of B-1 Term Loans, and (ii) to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Term Loan Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, with respect to not more than $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 11.01(i)(B), the Lead Arrangers may (in their sole discretion) at the request of the Borrower allow the utilization of same as contemplated by clause (y) of the proviso to Section 11.01(i) before requiring that such amounts be applied as otherwise required pursuant to the two preceding sentences of this Section 5.02(g).

(h) All repayments of the Loans of a given Tranche required by this Section 5.02 shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders of such Tranche of Loans (based upon their respective relative outstanding principal amounts of such Loans). With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto unless otherwise repaid at or prior to the end of the Interest Period then in effect; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be

repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the tenth Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans (unless otherwise agreed by the Swingline Lender) and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date and (iii) all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on which the repayment of the Loans is accelerated pursuant to Section 12.

(j) If any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender no later than 10 Business Days after the date such RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

5.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Credit Parties hereunder and under any Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or resident or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or, in the case of a Lender, applicable lending office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.12), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender pursuant to applicable law in effect on the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto or the date such Foreign Lender designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such 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 or Holdings with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (iii) any U.S. backup withholding taxes, (iv) any taxes imposed as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(b) and (v) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any Treasury Regulation promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such Sections, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any

Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay or to cause a relevant Credit Party to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Borrower or Credit Party. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or 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 5.04(a), it shall pay to 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 5.04(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Borrower held such funds and any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.04(a) shall not be construed to require the Administrative 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.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. A Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 14.04(b) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of such assignment or transfer two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that the Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to (w) clearly and conspicuously ▇▇▇▇ all such Borrower Materials “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that the Borrower Materials shall be subject to Section 14.16, to the extent applicable; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” At the request of the Administrative Agent or either Lead Arranger, the Borrower shall promptly review any Borrower Materials as may be requested

in order to determine whether same may be marked “PUBLIC” and made available to Public Lenders as provided above.

10.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice of the following:

(a) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(b) the written assertion of which a Responsible Officer of the Borrower has knowledge by the holder of any Indebtedness of any Credit Party in excess of $25,000,000 principal amount then outstanding that any event of default exists with respect thereto or that any Credit Party is not in compliance therewith;

(d) commencement of any proceedings contesting any tax, fee, assessment, or other governmental charge in excess of $25,000,000;

Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business, and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, in each case except where the failure to do so could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or other transaction permitted under Section 11.03; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 10.03 shall prevent any Credit Party from discontinuing the corporate existence of any Subsidiary if discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of such Credit Party’s business or the business of such Subsidiary and such discontinuance is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders.

10.06. Books and Records; Inspection Rights; Annual Lender Meetings. (a) Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which entries which are full, true and correct in all material respects are made of all material dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent (including employees of the Administrative Agent, or any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent), upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants (provided a representative from the Borrower shall have the right to be present), all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as reasonably requested; provided, that following the Effective Date and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall only be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 14.01 for the cost of two such inspections in any Fiscal Year. The Credit Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights of

inspection, may prepare and distribute to the Lenders reports regarding same for internal use by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will within 30 days after the date of the delivery (or, if later, required delivery) of the annual financial information pursuant to Sections 10.01(a) (or such later date agreed to by the Administrative Agent), hold a meeting (with telephonic conferences being acceptable if agreed to by the Administrative Agent), at a time and location (as applicable) selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, with all of the Lenders that choose to attend, to review the financial results of the previous Fiscal Year and the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and the budgets presented for the current Fiscal Year of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.

10.07. Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.08. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. (a) All proceeds of the Term Loans will be used by the Borrower to finance the Merger, the termination of the Prior Merger Agreement, the Exchange Offer, the Refinancing and the Top-Off Purchases (if any) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

(b) All proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans will be used for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that (x) proceeds of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans may not be used, in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000,000 (except to the extent a higher amount is agreed by the Lead Arrangers), for the purposes described in Section 10.08(a) and (y) the proceeds of Swingline Loans shall not be used to refinance then outstanding Swingline Loans.

(c) Letters of Credit will be issued only to support the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries not in contravention of this Agreement.

10.09. Insurance. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain with financially sound and reputable carriers having a financial strength rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company (or the equivalent rating with respect to markets not rated by A.M. Best Company) or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, insurance against: (i) loss or damage by fire and loss in transit; (ii) theft, burglary, pilferage, larceny, embezzlement, and other criminal activities; (iii) business interruption; (iv) general liability and (v) and such other hazards, as is customary in the business of such Person; provided that the Credit Parties and the Subsidiaries may self-insure in accordance with good business practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall maintain, with respect to each Flood Hazard Property, flood hazard insurance, as required by law and as reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. All such insurance shall be in amounts, cover such assets and be under such policies as are customary in the business of such Person. No Credit Party will use or permit any property to be used in any manner which might render

inapplicable any insurance coverage, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event by April 30, 2010 or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Collateral Agent certificates of insurance with respect to the insurance maintained by the Credit Parties as required above and naming the Collateral Agent as additional insured and/or as loss payee, and stating that such insurance shall not be cancelled or materially revised without at least 30 day’s prior written notice (or 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of nonpayment of premiums) by the insured to the Collateral Agent.

10.10. Additional Collateral; Further Assurances; Etc. (a) Subject to applicable law, each Credit Party shall, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, cause each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary, any Inactive Subsidiary and any Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) formed or acquired (or which first becomes such a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary) after the date of this Agreement to become a Credit Party (and a party to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement and, if same has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Intercreditor Agreement) by executing a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit M hereto, in each case with such changes as may be reasonably requested by or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) within thirty (30) days (or such longer time period if agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after the formation or acquisition thereof or after the first date upon which the respective Subsidiary of such Person becomes a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, an Inactive Subsidiary or an Agreed Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Credit Documents and (ii) at all times other than on or after the Collateral Release Date, will grant Liens to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any property of such Credit Party which constitutes Collateral as set forth in, and in accordance with, the Security Documents.

(b) Subject to the time period in which to deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to Section 10.10(a) above, each Credit Party will cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) and (ii) 66% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests in each Foreign Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary), and 100% of the issued and outstanding non-voting Equity Interests in each such Foreign Subsidiary, directly owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor to be subject at all times to a first priority perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents or other security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d) Holdings will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors security interests and Mortgages in such Owned Real Property (excluding the Original Mortgage Tax State Properties, which are subject to preceding clause (c)) of Holdings and such other Credit Party as are not covered by the original Security Documents (or otherwise covered by the actions taken as required in preceding

clauses (a) through (c)) and as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”). All such security interests and Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected security interests, hypothecations and Mortgages superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and enforceable against third parties and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens or, in the case of Owned Real Property, the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto. The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish and perfect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.10(d) shall not apply to (and Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to grant a Mortgage in) any Owned Real Property the fair market value (as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) or book value (whichever is higher) of which is less than $30,000,000, except that if the aggregate fair market value or book value (whichever is higher) of all Owned Real Property of the Credit Parties which are not subject to Mortgages (exclusive of the Original Mortgage Tax State Properties) is greater than $500,000,000, then the Credit Parties shall be required to grant Mortgages in such Owned Real Properties as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so that the aggregate value of the non-mortgaged Owned Real Properties described above does not exceed $500,000,000. Furthermore, with respect to any Owned Real Property in a Mortgage Tax State which is acquired by Holdings or a Subsidiary thereof which is a Credit Party after the Initial Borrowing Date and with respect to which a Mortgage would otherwise be required to be granted above, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree that a Mortgage on such Owned Real Property shall not be required if the Administrative Agent determines that the cost of obtaining the respective Mortgage exceeds the benefits of the security interests in the respective Owned Real Property (given the other Collateral at such time for the Obligations).

(e) Holdings will, and will cause each of the other Credit Parties to, at the expense of Holdings and the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers, bailee agreements, control agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require; provided that the foregoing shall not require actions which are expressly not required to be taken in accordance with the terms of any relevant Security Document or this Agreement. Furthermore, Holdings will, and will cause the other Credit Parties that are Subsidiaries of Holdings to, deliver to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 10.10 has been complied with or this Agreement.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that they are required by law or regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of Holdings and the other Credit Parties constituting Collateral, Holdings and the Borrower will, at their own expense, provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals which

satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Holdings and the Borrower agree that each action required by clauses (d) through (f) of this Section 10.10 shall be completed as soon as possible, but, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Security Document or this Agreement, in no event later than 45 days after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or such longer period as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be); provided that in no event will Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties (who are not Subsidiaries of Holdings) with respect to its compliance with this Section 10.10.

(h) Within 60 days after any request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), with respect to any Equity Interests in one or more Persons organized under the laws of a non-U.S. jurisdiction which have been pledged pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, if the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders reasonably determine (based on advice of local counsel and to the extent legally permitted by the relevant applicable foreign law) that it would be in the interests of the Secured Creditors that the respective Credit Party or Credit Parties which own such Equity Interests authorize, execute and deliver one or more additional pledge agreements governed by the laws of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which the Person or Persons whose Equity Interests are being pledged is (or are) organized, then the respective Credit Party or Credit Parties shall, subject to local law limitations, (i) so authorize, execute and deliver one or more such additional pledge agreements (each, as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, a “Foreign Pledge Agreement” and, collectively, the “Foreign Pledge Agreements”) and (ii) take such reasonable actions as may be necessary or desirable under local law (as advised by local counsel) to create, maintain, effect, perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the security interests granted (or purported to be granted) by each such Foreign Pledge Agreement. Each Foreign Pledge Agreement shall (i) be prepared by local counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, it being understood and agreed, however, in the case of any Foreign Pledge Agreement entered into by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the respective Credit Party shall not be required to pledge more than 66% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests entitled to vote of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as such for U.S. federal tax purposes) in support of its obligations (x) as a Borrower under this Agreement (in the case of the Borrower) or (y) under its Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower (in the case of the other Credit Parties) (although 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests, if any, of each such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged in support of such obligations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.10, no Foreign Subsidiary shall guarantee any Obligation of the Borrower and no security or similar interest shall be granted in the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary, which security or similar interest guarantees any Obligation of the Borrower. In determining whether to require one or more Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above, the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in their sole discretion) consider the costs of the actions required in connection with the execution and delivery of the respective Foreign Pledge

Agreements as against the relative value of the security interests and additional protection provided thereby.

(i) In determining whether to require one or more Foreign Pledge Agreements as permitted above, the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall (in their sole discretion) consider the costs of the actions required in connection with the execution and delivery of the respective Foreign Pledge Agreements as against the relative value of the security interests and additional protection provided thereby.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of the Collateral Release Date the Liens on all Collateral of the Credit Parties granted to or held by the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Creditors) pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released (collectively, the “Release”), whereupon (A) Sections 10.10(b), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) shall have no further force or effect and (B) the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Credit Parties, take such action as the Credit Parties may reasonably request to effectuate, evidence or reflect of public record, the release of such Liens (including, but not limited to the filing of termination and full or partial release statements or confirmations thereof, as applicable), in each case, without recourse and without any representation or warranty of any kind (either express or implied), unless any of the foregoing actions would, or in the judgment of the Collateral Agent would, expose the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any officer of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to personal liability or (y) would be contrary to applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (j), all guaranties provided pursuant to the Guaranties (including, without limitation, the guaranties provided by the Holdings Guaranty and the Subsidiaries Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect.

10.11. [Reserved.]

10.12. Ratings. Holdings and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain (i) a public corporate family rating of Holdings and a rating of the Loans, in each case from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, and (ii) a public corporate credit rating of Holdings and a rating of the Loans, in each case from S&P (it being understood and agreed that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall in any event include the payment by Holdings or the Borrower of customary rating agency fees and cooperation with information and data requests by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P in connection with their ratings process).

10.13. [Reserved.]

SECTION 11. Negative Covenants. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have terminated and the Loans, Notes and Unpaid Drawings (in each case, together with interest thereon), Fees and all other Obligations (other than indemnities that are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full:

Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, (i) require the Borrower to cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.

SECTION 13. The Administrative Agent; Lead Arrangers; Etc.

13.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint MSSF as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors (for purposes of this Section 13 and Section 14.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include MSSF in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. MSSF hereby accepts such appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, subject to its resignation rights provided herein. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

13.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, each Lead Arranger, the Global Coordinator, each Revolving Loan Lead Arranger and each Documentation Agent are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Lead Arranger, the Global Coordinator, each Revolving Loan Lead Arranger and each Documentation Agent shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 14.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lead Arranger, the Global Coordinator, each Revolving Loan Lead Arranger and each Documentation Agent shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

13.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it

124

deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target and its Subsidiaries) in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (and Target and its Subsidiaries) and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

13.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

13.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

13.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that

125

no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

13.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Majority Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

13.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

13.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12(h) or (i) then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as the Collateral Agent an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall no longer act as Collateral Agent, except that, until a successor Administrative Agent (who shall act as Collateral Agent) is appointed as provided below, the resigning Administrative Agent shall continue to act as Collateral Agent for purposes of maintaining the perfection and priority of security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents, (y) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (z) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who

126

shall be a commercial bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, and which has an office, branch or agency located in New York, New York, which is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s acceptance or approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 13 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

13.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (i) designates and appoints MSSF as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors and (ii) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. MSSF hereby accepts such appointment as Collateral Agent subject to its resignation rights pursuant to Section 13.09. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders 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. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than unasserted

127

indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Credit Parties) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 11.03, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 14.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 13.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(d) The Borrower may from time to time by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent request that the Liens on all or a portion of the assets and/or property set forth on Part A (subject to the restrictions set forth on such Schedule) and Part B of Schedule 13.10(d) granted to or held by the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Creditors) pursuant to the Security Documents be released, so long as (x) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (y) such assets and/or property will substantially concurrently with the release secure Indebtedness permitted under Section 11.01 pursuant to Liens permitted under Section 11.02(xxii) or Section 11.02(xxv) and the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness so secured shall not exceed 120% of the fair market value (determined in good faith by the Borrower at the time of such release) of such assets and/or property released. Upon the receipt of such written notice, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to release any Liens created by any Credit Document in respect of such assets or property, including the release and satisfaction of record of any mortgage or deed of trust granted in connection herewith. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with releases of Liens provided for in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Section 10.10 shall no longer apply to the Designated Released Collateral, and the Designated Released Collateral shall no longer constitute Mortgaged Property.

128

13.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous.

14.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and, if necessary, one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent, of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in connection with the Back-Stop Arrangements entered into by such Persons and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, for the period during which such Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein; provided, however, that in the absence of conflicts, reimbursement of legal fees and disbursements shall be limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel, if applicable) for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, such counsel to be selected by the Administrative Agent; (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and affiliates, (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lead Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or

129

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lead Arranger or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

14.02. Right of Setoff. 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, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without

130

limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.04(b), and although said Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. After exercising any set off rights pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the respective Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such exercise, although any delay or failure in giving any such notice shall not affect the exercise of set off rights as provided above and shall result in no liability for the respective Lender.

14.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, (i) such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13, 14.04(b) and 14.04(c)), (ii) the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and owner of its interest in any Letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder, and (iv) Borrowers and any Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized pursuant to the terms hereunder or not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and

131

obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign (but not to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof except pursuant to clause (c) below) all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, the related outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Section 12(a) and no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower may otherwise agree) in the aggregate in respect of the Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and/or $5,000,000 in the aggregate in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, the related outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01A shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) at any time when both (x) B-1 Term Loan Commitments and B-1 Term Loans are outstanding hereunder, each assignment by a given Lender pursuant to this clause (b) shall be of a like percentage of the Total B-1 Term Loan Commitment and then total outstanding principal amount of B-1 Term Loans and (y) B-2 Term Loan Commitments and B-2 Term Loans are outstanding hereunder, each assignment by a given Lender pursuant to this clause (b) shall be of a like percentage of the Total B-2 Term Loan Commitment and the then

132

total outstanding principal amount of B-2 Term Loans, (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignments of Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to clause (x) or (y) (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (v) so long as no Default under Sections 12(a) and no Event of Default then exists and the Syndication Date (determined without regard to clause (y) of the definition thereof) has theretofore occurred, the consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (vi) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms, certificates and other information (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) The Borrower shall also be entitled to purchase (from Lenders) outstanding principal of Term Loans in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, which purchases shall be evidenced by assignments (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) from the respective Lender to the Borrower. No such assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent (in a manner consistent with the following sentence) on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. All Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be immediately and automatically cancelled and retired, and the Borrower shall in no event become a Lender hereunder. To the extent of any assignment to the Borrower as described in this clause (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned Term Loans.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

133

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 14.04(b) and/or (c) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), with respect to matters arising while it was a Lender which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

14.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to (x) the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Excess Cash Flow and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 11.10 through 11.12, inclusive, shall (x) utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 9.04(a) for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009 and (y) be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

138

discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.12(a) (unless pursuant to clause (1) thereof).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained above in this Section 14.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the following modifications may be made, and actions taken, by the Administrative Agent, in each case without the consent of any Credit Party (except as expressly required below) or the Required Lenders or any other group of Lenders (with all capitalized terms used in clauses (i) through (v) below, if not otherwise defined herein, being used herein as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement):

(ii) the Administrative Agent may execute any documents in connection with a Refinancing First-Lien Credit Agreement succeeding this Agreement as the First-Lien Credit Agreement under the Intercreditor Agreement, so long as concurrently therewith all Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated and all Loans hereunder shall be repaid in full (and all Letters of Credit terminated or cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the respective Issuing Lenders); it being understood that the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required for any other Series (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of Additional First-Lien Obligations (excluding Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and Cash Management Agreements secured as provided in the Security Documents) to become party to the Intercreditor Agreement;

(iii) in connection with the foregoing actions, the Administrative Agent may agree to such technical changes to the Intercreditor Agreement as are deemed

139

reasonably necessary or desirable by it, in each case so long as such changes, taken as a whole, are not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders;

(iv) the Administrative Agent may agree to, or acknowledge, the termination of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any Series in accordance with the express provisions of Section 8.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, and at any time when the Intercreditor Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2 thereof, the Administrative Agent may agree to the termination thereof with the written agreement of the Borrower;

(v) if at any time after a termination of the Intercreditor Agreement has occurred as permitted by preceding clause (iv), if the Borrower or Holdings wishes to incur Specified Indebtedness which would otherwise be permitted to be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and become party to the Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by preceding clause (i), Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, enter into a new Intercreditor Agreement in substantially the form of the original Intercreditor Agreement (with such changes as are otherwise permitted above in this clause (c)), and may enter into same so long as, concurrently therewith, the respective Intercreditor Agreement is executed and delivered by all Credit Parties and by the respective Second-Lien Authorized Representative on behalf of the holders of such Specified Indebtedness;

(vi) with respect to the Security Documents, (x) additional Credit Parties may be added as parties thereto with only the consent of the relevant Credit Parties being added (and annexes may be modified to reflect additions), and (y) Subsidiaries of Holdings (other than the Borrower) may be released from the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, in each case without the consent of the other Credit Parties or any Lenders; and

14.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.

14.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(b) or agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(c). Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15.

14.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.16, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that

141

Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will agree to keep such Information confidential in accordance with this Section), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that in the case of Information required to be disclosed by a Person pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal process, such Person shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with prior notice of such required disclosure and the opportunity to obtain a protective order in respect thereof if no conflict exists with such Person’s governmental, regulatory or legal requirements), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or by the respective Lender or agent (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Credit Party. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party from a source other than a Credit Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

14.17. Patriot Act.

Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

14.18. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS (AND IN THE FUTURE MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE ADDITIONAL SERIES OF

142

INDEBTEDNESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT), WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

14.19. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

14.20. Regulation U. (a) The Borrower and the Lenders agree that, for purposes of this Agreement and for determining compliance with Regulation U, all Loans and extensions of credit incurred hereunder and all Bridge Loans shall be deemed to be “purpose loans” under Regulation U and the provisions of this Section 14.20 shall apply.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that at all times prior to the Merger Closing Date it shall not, and shall not permit Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Margin Stock, or otherwise withdraw or substitute any direct or indirect security for any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder, unless after giving effect thereto and to

SECTION 15. Holdings Guaranty.

15.01. Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit

144

hereunder, and to induce the other Guaranteed Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Other Hedging Agreements and Cash Management Agreements and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Other Hedging Agreements and Cash Management Agreements, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, Holdings, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors to which such Guaranteed Obligations are owed, on demand together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent reimbursable under Section 14.01. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Guaranteed Parties), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Holdings shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

15.02. Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default with respect to Holdings or the Borrower specified in Section 12(h) or (i), and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

15.03. Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Guaranteed Party or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the

145

Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in Section 15.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.

15.04. Independent Obligation. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Guaranteed Party be joined in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

15.05. Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Guaranteed Party, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Guaranteed Party, other Credit Parties or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guaranteed Party to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of any Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

146

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any Other Hedging Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any Other Hedging Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

15.06. Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

15.07. Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings shall be collected, enforced and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party to Holdings, Holdings shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

15.08. Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, Holdings, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranteed Party other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially

147

reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

(b) Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Holdings hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

(d) Holdings hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Holdings shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing Holdings’ or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Holdings hereby waives until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Holdings by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(ii) all rights and defenses that Holdings may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Guaranteed Party or any other Credit Party, (1) the

148

amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from Holdings even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right Holdings may have to collect from any Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Holdings may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed Holdings’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(e) Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15.09. Payments. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section 15 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.
