(c)                            Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies related to such Specified Transaction (and related insourcing initiatives) projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or expected to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (calculated (i) on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of the applicable EBITDA Determination Period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such EBITDA Determination Period and (ii) such that “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action either taken or expected to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in each case, in the good faith determination of the Borrower)) relating to such Specified Transaction, net of the

62

amount of actual benefits realized during such EBITDA Determination Period from such actions; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith determination of the Borrower, (B) such actions are taken or substantial steps with respect to such actions are or are expected to be taken no later than 24 months after the date of such Specified Transaction and (C) no amounts shall be added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to this Section 1.09(c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such EBITDA Determination Period.

(e)                            In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, have occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into.  Furthermore, in connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i)                                     determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than the financial covenant set forth under Section 7.11 (except if being tested on a Pro Forma Basis)) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including, without limitation, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio, but excluding the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio for purposes of the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow; or

(ii)                                  testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations and (ii) such ratios, tests or baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, unless the Borrower elects in its sole discretion to test such ratio, test or basket on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated instead of the date of the related definitive agreement.  If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving Pro Forma Effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that any Fixed Amount (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

Section 1.10.  Certain Accounting Matters.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (a) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 or Accounting Standards Codification ▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇ (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein; (b) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof; and (c) treating Unrestricted Subsidiaries as

64

if they were not consolidated with any other member of the Restricted Group and otherwise eliminating all accounts of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a consolidated balance sheet of the Restricted Group dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 1.11.  Classification of Loans and Borrowings.  For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., an “Initial Term Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Term Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Term Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Term Borrowing”).

Section 1.12.  Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a)                           For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

(b)                           For purposes of determining the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

Section 1.13.  Excluded Swap Obligations.

(a)                           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Guarantee by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Excluded Swap Obligation and no Collateral provided by any Loan Party shall secure any Excluded Swap Obligation.  In the event that any payment is made by, or any collection is realized from, any Loan Party for which there are Excluded Swap Obligations, or from any Collateral provided by such Loan Party, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Loan Party on a ratable basis determined without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide.

(b)                           Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under Article 11 and the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 1.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 1.13, or otherwise under the Guaranty, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until its Guaranty under Article 11 is released.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends

65

that this Section 1.13 constitute, and this Section 1.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 2
THE CREDITS

Section 2.01.  Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein:

(a)                           each Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed the initial amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment (if any); and

(b)                           each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that Revolving Loans shall only be made to the Borrower on the Closing Date (a) in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 to fund (i) the consideration for the Acquisition and Transaction Expenses, (ii) any original issue discount or upfront fees required to be funded on the Closing Date (including in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Unsecured Notes) and (iii) working capital, and (b) to cash collateralize letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreements.

Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Within the limits set forth in clause (b) above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02.  Loans.

(a)                           Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b)                           Subject to Sections 2.08, 3.02 and 3.04, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.  Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Lender to make such Loan and the Borrower to repay such Loan to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

66

(c)                            Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Borrower in the applicable Request for Credit Extension maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders within two Business Days.

(d)                                 Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03.  Borrowing Procedure.  To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmit by other electronic transmission, if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Request for Credit Extension to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of the initial extension of credit on the Closing Date, one Business Day before) or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each Request for Credit Extension for a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:  (a) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Term Loans; (b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; (c) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (d) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; (e) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”; (f) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c) and (g) if and to the extent required under Section 4.01, that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.01 are satisfied as of the date of the notice.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

67

Section 2.04.  Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a)                                 The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender, the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Lender as provided in Section 2.11 (or, in the case of Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as provided for in the applicable Extension Offer, Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment) and (ii) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date (or, in the case of Extended Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Loans, as provided for in the applicable Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment).

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

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

(d)                           The entries made in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts pursuant to Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c) or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to pay, and perform, the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.  Subject to the Register, in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such entries, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e)                            Any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Note.  In such event, the Borrower shall promptly (and, in all events, within five Business Days of receipt of such written notice) prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender’s registered assigns in accordance with Section 10.04).  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and the interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns.

Section 2.05.  Fees.

(a)                           Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates.  Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and (B) on the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates.  Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of computing

68

Commitment Fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Revolving Lender.

(b)                                 Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(c)                            LC and Fronting Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 on the average daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) each Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25%  per annum (or such lesser rate per annum as such Issuing Bank may from time to time agree) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s customary charges with respect to the administration, issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal, payment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.  Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to each Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor.  All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d)                           Payment of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Borrower shall pay the Fronting Fees directly to each Issuing Bank.  Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.06.  Interest on Loans.

(a)                           Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b)                           Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c)                            Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.07 (including interest on past due interest) and all interest accrued but unpaid on or after the Revolving Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan), accrued interest on the

69

principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d)                                 All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to clause (a) of the definition of the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.16, bear interest for one day.  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Bankruptcy Proceeding.

Section 2.07.  Default Interest.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a) or an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g), the Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times, after as well as before judgment, equal to (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.08.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or (b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Request for Credit Extension requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.09.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)                           The Term Loan Commitments for the Initial Term Loans in effect on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date.  The Revolving Commitments and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b)                     The Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce any Class of Commitments selected by the Borrower; provided that (i) each partial reduction of any Class of Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments.

70

(c)                            The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.09(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which effective date shall be a Business Day), specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable; provided that the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments if such termination or reduction would have resulted from a refinancing, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

Section 2.10.  Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings.

(a)                           Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Request for Credit Extension and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Request for Credit Extension.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.10.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time.

(b)                           To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmit by other electronic transmission if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the Administrative Agent), a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Request for Credit Extension would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(c)                            Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)                                     the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)                                  the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)                               whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)                              if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

71

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)                                 Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)                            If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.11.  Repayment of Term Borrowings.

(a)                           (a)(i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders (A) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with December 31, 2017, an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or, if applicable, Section 10.04(m)(vi) and as a result of the conversion of such Term Loans to Extended Term Loans or the refinancing of such Term Loans with Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) and (B) on the Term Loan Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date, together with, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. Upon the conversion of such Term Loans to Extended Term Loans or the refinancing of such Term Loans with Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, all amortization payments shall be reduced ratably by the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans so converted or refinanced.

(ii) The Borrower shall repay Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Other Term Loans in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Amendment, Term Loan Extension Offer or Refinancing Amendment.

(b)                           To the extent not previously paid in full in cash, all Term Loans (including, for avoidance of doubt, Term Loans that are not Initial Term Loans) shall be due and payable on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(c)                            The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Revolving Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date for the applicable Revolving Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility outstanding on such date.

(d)                           All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 3.05, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

Section 2.12.  Voluntary Prepayments.

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

(b)                           Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Term Loan Extension Offer, any Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment, voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 (i) shall be applied to each Class of Term Loans directed by the Borrower (or, absent such direction, ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding) and (ii) with respect to each Class of Term Loans, shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof (in the case of the Initial Term Loans, as set forth in Section 2.11) as directed by the Borrower (or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity).

(c)                            Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that if such prepayment is in connection with a refinancing, then the Borrower may condition such notice on the effectiveness of such refinancing (provided that the provisions of Section 3.05 shall apply to any prepayment that is not made as a result of the failure of such condition).  All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable) and Section 3.05 but otherwise shall be without premium or penalty.  All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d)                           In the event that a Repricing Event becomes effective following the Closing Date but on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender holding all or any portion of Term Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of all such Term Loans. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of such Repricing Event. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that is forced to assign any Term Loan following the failure of such Lender to consent to any Repricing Event that becomes effective following the Closing Date but on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be entitled to receive the prepayment premium on the principal amount of the Term Loans so assigned upon the occurrence of the Repricing Event.

Section 2.13.  Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)                           (i) Within five Business Days after the earlier of (x) 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) the date on which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending December 31, 2018) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Excess Cash Flow Period covered or required to have been covered by such financial statements minus (B) without duplication of any amount deducted from Consolidated Net Income in calculating Excess Cash Flow for such period, all voluntary prepayments of principal of Term Loans, Incremental Equivalent Debt (to the extent secured by the Collateral on a first lien basis), Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt and Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Loans

73

(to the extent the Revolving Commitments and/or Other Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, are permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayments) during such Excess Cash Flow Period (including any voluntary prepayments or buybacks of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 10.04(m) in an amount equal to (x) the discounted amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans or (y) if the amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans is greater than par, the par amount) to the extent such prepayments are funded with Internally Generated Cash.

(ii)                                  If (1) any member of the Restricted Group Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), 7.05(b), 7.05(c), 7.05(d), 7.05(e), 7.05(g), 7.05(h), 7.05(k), 7.05(l), 7.05(m) (except to the extent such property is subject to a Mortgage), 7.05(n), 7.05(o), 7.05(q), 7.05(r), 7.05(s), 7.05(t) or 7.05(u)), or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by any member of the Restricted Group of Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is 10 Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by any member of the Restricted Group of such Net Proceeds an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds realized or received; provided that, if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase Incremental Equivalent Debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations or Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Incremental Equivalent Debt, Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt (or Permitted Refinancing thereof) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such Net Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Net Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased (after giving effect to any requirement under the documentation for such Other Applicable Indebtedness to offer such declined payments to other holders of such Other Applicable Indebtedness prior to making such proceeds available to the Borrower), the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii)                               If any member of the Restricted Group incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.03 (other than clause (i) of Section 7.03(t) or clause (i) of Section 7.03(u))), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, on the date of) the receipt by any member of the Restricted Group of such Net Proceeds.

(b)                           Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Term Loan Extension Offer, any Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding; provided that any prepayment of

74

Term Loans pursuant to the parenthetical in Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt.

(c)                                  With respect to each Class of Term Loans, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied in direct order of maturity (in the case of the Initial Term Loans, required pursuant to Section 2.11(a)); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to Section 2.13(d).  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13(c) is applicable to any prepayment made with the Net Proceeds of Indebtedness permitted under clause (i) of Section 7.03(t) or clause (i) of Section 7.03(u).

(d)                           The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment; provided that any such notice with respect to any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(iv) may be revoked by the Borrower prior to the date of such prepayment as indicated in such notice.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of the prepayment.  Each Term Lender may reject all of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made (x) with proceeds of Indebtedness permitted under clause (i) of Section 7.03(t) or clause (i) of Section 7.03(u) or (y) pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(iii).  If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to an extension of time for such failure to be corrected.  Subject to the terms of the documentation evidencing any Second Lien Indebtedness, any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower.

(e)                            Funding Losses, Etc.  All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.  All prepayments under Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable).  Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.13(a), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans is required to be made under Section 2.13(a) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder (including accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period) into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.13.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(a).

(f)                             Foreign Dispositions; Foreign Excess Cash Flow.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.13, (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign

75

Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.13 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agrees to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow would cause material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this clause (B), on or before the date on which any such Net Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or any such Excess Cash Flow would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.13(a), the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by or was attributable to the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary).

(g)                                  In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans and Cash Collateralize the aggregate amount of the LC Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

Section 2.14.  Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)                           Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payment to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and except as required under Section 3.02, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each payment of the LC Participation Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); provided that the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, including (without limitation) in respect of any payment, assignment, sale or participation to Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates expressly permitted under Section 10.04.  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

(b)                           If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such

76

parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.

Section 2.15.  Sharing of Setoffs.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 10.06) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Collateral Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Eligible Assignee or participant.  Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.  If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.15 applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.15 to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

Section 2.16.  Payments.

(a)                           The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: Surgery Partners Account Manager.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b)                           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders

77

or each Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(c)                                  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.16(b), 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or 10.05(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17.  Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case to support payment and performance obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of its Restricted Subsidiary); provided that Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing Date solely to backstop or replace Existing Letters of Credit and other guarantees and performance and similar bonds outstanding on the Closing Date and described in Schedule 2.17.  An Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and no Borrower shall request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue Letters of Credit (or have Existing Letters of Credit outstanding) in excess of the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.02 (as may be amended from time to time).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Schedule 2.02 may be amended with the consent of Borrower and each Issuing Bank that would be directly affected by such amendment, with notice to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue commercial Letters of Credit and (y) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit in any currency other than Dollars.

(b)                                 Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank) an LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank).

78

(iv)                              the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(v)                                 whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account of one of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of its Restricted Subsidiary);

(vi)                              the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii)                           the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii)                        such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank:

(i)                                     the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(ii)                                  the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii)                               the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and

(iv)                              such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall apply in respect of all such applications.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Article 4 in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied.  Unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $100,000.

(c)                                  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in

79

the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that this Section 2.17(c) shall not prevent any Issuing Bank from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and, in any case, not to extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless each such Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period.

(d)                                 Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, any Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.17(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment).

(e)                                  Reimbursement.

(i)                                     If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day following the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(ii)                                  If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or if the amount is not financed pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.17(e)(i), the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the

applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii)                               If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Share of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, the Borrower and such Revolving Lender severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 2.17(e), then the Default Rate shall apply and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(f)                                   Obligations Absolute.  The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower as provided in Section 2.17(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i)                                     any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein;

(ii)                                  any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iii)                               prepayment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(iv)                              any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.17, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder;

(v)                                 the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

81

(vi)                              any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), material agreements, properties, solvency, business, management, prospects or value of any Company; or

(vii)                           any other fact, circumstance or event whatsoever.

None of the Agents, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, punitive or other indirect damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by any Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) with respect to such a determination, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)                                  Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.17(e)).

(h)                                 Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is due, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is due to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Default Rate.  Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)                                     Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this

82

Section 2.17(i), the Borrower shall deposit in an account (the “LC Sub-Account”), in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g).  Funds in the LC Sub-Account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Article 9.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall, in accordance with Article 9, be returned to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j)                                    Additional Issuing Banks.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders or Affiliates of Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Lender(s).  Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.17(j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(k)                                 Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank.  Any Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  Following such resignation, such Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank.  At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c).  From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(l)                         Other.  No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i)                                     any Order of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall

83

prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank deems material to it; or

(ii)                                        the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of such Issuing Bank.

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

(n)                     The parties hereto agree that all Existing Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be issued hereunder and shall constitute Letters of Credit subject to the terms hereof without any further action by the Borrower or such Issuing Bank.

Section 2.18 Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.08(b)(i) through 10.08(b)(ix) (including the granting of any consents or waivers) only to the extent that any such matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (A) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans and the Revolving Exposure of other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.10(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans and Revolving Exposure of other Lenders (but not to the Loans and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.10 as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (B); (iii) the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loans and LC Exposure shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; (iv) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:  (A) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders does not

84

exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders; (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (C) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this clause (iv), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; (D) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this clause (iv), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated LC Exposure; and (E) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this clause (iv), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any Lender hereunder, all Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fee payable under Section 2.05 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; (v) except for purposes of calculating the aggregate Revolving Exposure pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the Revolving Exposure of all Lenders as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender; and (vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with clause (iv) of this Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (iv)(A) of this Section 2.16(c) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).  In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure and Revolving Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment.

No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.16(c), performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of Section 2.16(c).  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.16(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.14 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any non-Defaulting Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

85

Section 2.19.  Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a)                                 The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a copy of such notice available to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches or, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, additions to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”; the commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”) or one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitment (any such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”; the commitments thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and, collectively, with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that (i) after giving effect to the making of such Incremental Term Loans or the incurrence of any Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments incurred pursuant to this Section 2.19 (together with any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(s) after the Closing Date) shall not exceed (x) $346,000,000 (provided that $35,000,000 of such amount under this clause (x) shall solely be available for Revolving Commitment Increases) plus (y) an unlimited additional amount, so long as on a Pro Forma Basis after the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans and such Incremental Revolving Commitments (A) if such Incremental Loan ranks pari passu in right of security on the Collateral with the Obligations (other than any Obligations in respect of other Incremental Loans or Refinancing Facilities secured on a junior lien basis to other Obligations), the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period does not exceed 3.90:1.00 and (B) if such Incremental Loan ranks junior in right of security on the Collateral to the Obligations (other than any Obligations in respect of other Incremental Loans or Refinancing Facilities secured on a junior lien basis to other Obligations), the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period does not exceed 3.90:1.00 (it being understood that (1) any Incremental Loan may be incurred under clause (y) prior to clause (x) and regardless of whether there is capacity under clause (x), (2) to the extent that both clause (x) and clause (y) are available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (y), (3) any amounts incurred under clause (x), the Revolving Facility, Sections 7.03(e), 7.03(m), 7.03(r), 7.03(t), 7.03(u), 7.03(z), 7.03(bb), 7.03(s)(x) or 7.03(w), in each case, together with any amounts incurred to fund original issue discount (“OID”) and upfront fees, that is concurrently incurred with, or incurred in a single transaction or series of related transactions with, amounts under clause (y) will not count as Indebtedness for the purpose of calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as applicable, in clause (y) and (4) any portion of any Incremental Term Loans or any Incremental Revolving Commitments incurred in reliance on clause (x) may be reclassified, as the Borrower may elect from time to time, as incurred under clause (y) if the Borrower meets the applicable First Lien Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as applicable, under clause (y) at such time on a Pro Forma Basis (for purposes of clarity, with any such reclassification having the effect of increasing the Borrower’s ability to incur Indebtedness under clause (x) on and after the date of such reclassification by the amount of Indebtedness so reclassified)); provided, further, that for purposes of the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio used in determining the availability of Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.19(a), (i) any cash proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or the Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, then being incurred will not be netted for purposes of determining compliance with the First Lien Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as applicable, and (ii) the full amount of any Incremental Revolving Commitments then being incurred shall be deemed to be Indebtedness then outstanding (whether or not then incurred).  Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the preceding sentence).

86

(b)                           The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, original issue discount or similar fees and, for the avoidance of doubt, any structuring, arrangement, underwriting or other similar fees not shared with all lenders providing the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitments) to the Revolving Commitments existing hereunder on the closing date of such Incremental Revolving Commitments.  The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment:  (i) such Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Term Loans, (B) shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with all other Term Loans, (C) shall not be guaranteed by any person other than a Guarantor and (D) shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral, (ii) the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Original Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then outstanding Initial Term Loans (provided that the effects of any scheduled amortization or prepayments made on the Initial Term Loans prior to the Increased Amount Date shall be disregarded), (iv) if such Incremental Term Loan ranks pari passu in right of security with the existing Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loan may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under the Loan Documents, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment (provided, however, that any Incremental Term Loan may participate on a greater than pro rata basis, on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments), (v) subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder, (vi) the applicable all-in yield relating to any Incremental Term Loans incurred under clause (y) of Section 2.19(a) pursuant to such Incremental Amendment (each facility thereunder, an “Incremental Facility”), if such Incremental Term Loans are (A) secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans and (B) made on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, shall not exceed the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum unless the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans is increased so that the all-in yield applicable to the applicable Incremental Facility does not exceed the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum; provided that, in determining the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans and the applicable Incremental Facility, (A) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Initial Term Loans or the applicable Incremental Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity of the applicable Incremental Facility), (B) structuring, arrangement, underwriting, ticking and commitment and other fees not shared with all lenders providing the Initial Term Loans or the applicable Incremental Facility, and, if applicable, consent fees for an amendment paid generally to consenting lenders, shall be excluded and (C) if the Adjusted LIBO Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility includes a floor in excess of 1.00%, or the Alternate Base Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility includes a floor in excess of 2.00%, such excess shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable all-in yield under the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent such floor does not result in an increase in interest rate) and any increase in the all-in yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans required due to the application of such floor on any Incremental Facility shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) such floor in respect of the Initial Term Loans, (vii) subject to clause (vi) above, any fees payable in connection with any such Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the arrangers providing for such Incremental Term Loan and (viii) except as otherwise required or permitted above, all other terms of such Incremental Term Loans (other than (1) provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of then-existing Term Loans (as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans) and (2) pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms (which shall be determined by the Borrower)) are either (I) customary market terms for Indebtedness of such type at the time of incurrence (taken as a whole) (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (II) substantially identical to, or when taken as a whole, are not materially

87

more restrictive with respect to the Restricted Group than the terms of the Term Loans (as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans), in each case under this clause (viii)(II), unless the then-existing Term Loans (other than any then-existing Term Loans secured on a junior basis to the Incremental Term Loans) (as of the date of incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans) receive the benefit of such more favorable terms through the then Latest Maturity Date (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of such Incremental Term Loans, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of the Term Loans (other than any then-existing Term Loans secured on a junior basis to the Incremental Term Loans) then outstanding); provided that any Incremental Term Loan Facility secured on a junior basis to all other Term Loans shall be subject to a Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the terms of any Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving Commitment, as applicable, are favorable to the existing Lenders, such terms may be, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, incorporated into this Agreement for the benefit of the existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of the Borrower, any increase in the Applicable Margin relating to any existing Class to achieve “fungibility” with such existing Class of Loans.

(c)                                  Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall set forth (i) the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increase (each, an “Incremental Loan”), as applicable, and (ii) the date on which the relevant increase is requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”).  Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender shall have any obligation to make any Incremental Term Loan or Revolving Commitment Increase, as applicable, except to the extent that it has agreed to do so pursuant to an Incremental Amendment) or by any other Additional Lender (the Term Lenders, Revolving Lenders or Additional Lenders making such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increase, as applicable, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”), provided, that each Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental Lender to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 10.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Incremental Lender.

(d)                           Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent.  Subject to this Section 2.19, the Incremental Amendment shall be on the terms, and pursuant to documentation, to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable.  Each Incremental Term Loan Commitment and Incremental Revolving Commitment, as applicable, shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date pursuant to the applicable Incremental Amendment; provided that (i) (x) if the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment is not being provided in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment, as applicable and (y) if such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment is being provided in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) shall exist on the applicable Increased Amount Date (provided that the condition set forth under this clause (i) shall not be required to be satisfied if waived (or otherwise not required) by Persons holding more than 50% of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments (in the case of an Incremental Term Loan) and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase), as applicable) and (ii) in connection with the effectiveness of any

88

Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, and the incurrence of any related Incremental Loans, there shall be no requirement under this Section 2.19 for the Borrower to bring down the representations and warranties on the Increased Amount Date under the Loan Documents unless requested by the Persons holding more than 50% of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments (in the case of Incremental Term Loans) and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase), as applicable (provided that, in the case of Incremental Loans or Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as applicable, used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the Specified Representations (conformed for such Limited Condition Transaction, as applicable) shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Increased Amount Date if requested by the Persons holding more than 50% of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments (in the case of an Incremental Term Loan) and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase), as applicable).  The Borrower will use the proceeds, if any, of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees.

(e)                                  Any Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to effect the terms thereof, to the extent such terms are permitted under this Section 2.19 and (ii) to effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19.

(f)                             This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.

(g)                            Upon any Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.19, (a) each of the Revolving Lenders holding Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Revolving Commitment Increase shall assign to each of the Revolving Lenders having an Incremental Revolving Commitment, and each of the Revolving Lenders having an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders holding Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Revolving Commitment Increase, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Incremental Revolving Loans outstanding on the closing date of such Revolving Commitment Increase as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and Revolving Lenders having an Incremental Revolving Commitment ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each Revolving Lender having an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and all matters relating thereto.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Section 2.02 and 2.12 of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.20.  Refinancing Amendments.

(a)                           At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender (provided, that each Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Additional Lender to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 10.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Additional Lender), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans (each new term facility, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or Revolving Loans and Revolving

89

Commitments (each new revolving credit facility, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”, and collectively with any Refinancing Term Facility, “Refinancing Facilities”) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 2.20(a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments), in the form of Other Loans or Other Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (A) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and pari passu or (in the case of Refinancing Term Facilities) junior in right of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof (provided that if such Refinancing Term Facility ranks pari passu in right of security with the existing Term Loans, such Refinancing Term Facility may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment) (provided, however, that any Refinancing Term Facility may participate on a greater than pro rata basis, on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments), (C) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have a maturity date not earlier than the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Loans or Commitments being refinanced, (D) subject to clauses (B) and (C) above, all other terms of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms (which shall be determined by the applicable borrower)) are either (I) customary market terms for Indebtedness of such type at the time of incurrence (taken as a whole) (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) or (II) substantially identical to, or when taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive with respect to the Restricted Group than the terms of the Loans or Commitments being refinanced (as of the date of incurrence of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), (E) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Loans or Commitments being so refinanced, (F) if any such Refinancing Facility is secured, it shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral and (G) if any such Refinancing Facility is guaranteed, it shall not be guaranteed by any person other than the Guarantors; provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different terms that are agreed between the Borrower and the lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date; provided, further, that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of (a) a Refinancing Term Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of Term Loans remaining outstanding after the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing Term Facility or (b) Refinancing Revolving Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments remaining outstanding after the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing Revolving Facility); provided, further, that (1) the borrowing and repayment of Revolving Loans under any Refinancing Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans and termination of Revolving Commitments under any Refinancing Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with the permanent repayment of all other Revolving Loans and termination of all other Revolving Commitments and (4) assignments and participations of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under any Refinancing Revolving Facility shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to all other Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments.  The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the consent of the Issuing Bank to the extent required under Section 10.4(b)(i)(C).  Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.20(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000.  The

90

Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Refinancing Amendment, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(c)                            This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.

Section 2.21.  Extension of Loans.

(a)                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Term Loan Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of a Class of Term Loans with a like Term Loan Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans of such Class with the same Term Loan Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Term Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Term Lender that shall have accepted such Term Loan Extension Offer extend the maturity date of any Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans of such Term Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, a “Term Loan Extension”, and each group of Term Loans as so extended, as well as the group of original Term Loans not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and a separate Class of Term Loans), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such Term Loan Extension may provide for any additional or different terms that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders accepting such Terms Loan Extension Offer to the extent applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date), (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) for periods prior to the Original Term Loan Maturity Date may not be increased, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans intended to be extended thereby, (iv) any Extended Term Loans that rank pari passu in right of security with the existing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer (provided, however, that any Extended Term Loan may participate on a greater than pro rata basis, on a pro rata

91

basis or on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments), (v) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Term Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Term Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (vii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Revolving Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of a Class of Revolving Commitments with a like Revolving Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Revolving Commitments of such Class with the same Revolving Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Revolving Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Revolving Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of any Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Revolving Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments) (each, a “Revolving Extension”, and each group of Revolving Commitments as so extended, as well as the group of original Revolving Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted and a separate Class of Revolving Commitments), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Revolving Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Revolving Commitments”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Offer (provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such Revolving Extension may provide for any additional or different terms that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders accepting such Revolving Extension Offer to the extent applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date), (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date, (iii) any Extended Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer (provided, however, that any Extended Revolving Commitments may participate on a greater than pro rata basis, on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Revolving Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(c)                            With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.12 , 2.13 or 2.15 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum

92

Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans or Commitments of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.21.

(d)                                 Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to give effect to each Extension (an “Extension Amendment”), without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.11 with respect to any Class of Term Loans subject to an Extension to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment and (B) consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment).  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Extension (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(e)                            In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.21.

(f)                             This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.

ARTICLE 3
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01.  Taxes.

(a)                           Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document to any Lender (which term shall for purposes of this Section 3.01 be deemed to include a reference to each “Issuing Bank”) or any Agent shall be made

93

free and clear of and without deduction, except as required by applicable Law, for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, withholdings (including backup withholding), fees or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority including interest, penalties and additions to tax (collectively “Taxes”), excluding (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, however denominated, and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income Taxes, in each case, imposed as a result of a Lender or Agent being organized under the laws of, having its principal office in, or relevant office for receiving payments from or on account of the Borrower or making funds available to or for the benefit of the Borrower located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), (ii) Taxes attributable to the failure by the relevant Lender or Agent to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 3.01, (iii) Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between such Lender or Agent and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being a party to, engaging in any transactions pursuant to, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document, (iv) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Guarantor (as appropriate) is located, or in which the Agent’s or Lender’s principal office is located or in which its relevant office for receiving payments from or on account of the Borrower or making funds available to or for the benefit of the Borrower is located, (v) any U.S. federal withholding tax that is (or would be) required to be withheld on amounts payable hereunder pursuant to a law in effect at such time the Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 3.07), or designates a new office for receiving payments by or on account of the Borrower or making funds available to or for the benefit of the Borrower, except in each case to the extent 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 with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.01 and (vi) U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes imposed on such payments, being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”).  If the Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the applicable withholding agent shall deduct, and the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased, as necessary, so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.

(b)                                 In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, or charges or levies of the same character, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding in each case, such amounts that result from an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Acceptance, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) except for Assignment Taxes resulting from assignments or participations that are requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

94

(c)                            The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or Lender and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by an Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)                                 Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents.  Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time, a change in law, or change in circumstances renders any previously delivered documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender or Agent are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver (other than the forms under Section 3.01(d)(i) and 3.01(d)(ii) below).  Without limiting the foregoing:

(i)                                     Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is exempt from federal backup withholding; provided, however, that if such Lender or Agent is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner (together with appropriate supporting documentation).

(ii)                                  Each Lender and Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)                                         two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(B)                                         two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms) and, in the case of an Agent that is not a United States person, a withholding certificate that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.1441-1(e)(3)(v) as applicable to a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for withholding tax purposes,

(C)                                         in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the

95

form of Exhibit ▇-▇, ▇-▇, G-3 or G-4, as applicable (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or

(D)                               to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner).

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

Each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so.  Each Lender and Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(e)                            Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts (at the request of the Borrower) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office (or take any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that all costs relating to such change or other measures shall be borne by the Borrower.

(f)                             If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to the Borrower or Guarantor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case

96

may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Borrower and Guarantors, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of such amount would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

(g)                                  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).

(h)                           Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.02.  Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03.  [Reserved].

97

Section 3.04.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.

(a)                                 If any Lender or Issuing Bank reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exception (iii) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or measured by net income or profits or are franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the foregoing taxes) or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions (i), (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) thereof or (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) or reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligations to make any Loan), or the cost to such Issuing Bank of maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank, then from time to time within 15 days after demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)                           If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) or Issuing Bank therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Issuing Bank or any entity controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and its desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or controlling entity for such reduction within 15 days after receipt of such demand.

(c)                            Except to the extent already reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest

98

Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

(d)                                 Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation.

(e)                            If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender or Issuing Bank will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, cause such Lender or Issuing Bank and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.04(a), 3.04(b), 3.04(c) or 3.04(d).

Section 3.05.  Funding Losses.  Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

(i)                                     any continuation or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, or any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(ii)                                  any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including, to the extent applicable, an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (1) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such event for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (2) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such event for such period, but excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin.

Section 3.06.  Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a)                           Any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b)                           With respect to any Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate it for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that it notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any applicable Eurodollar Loan, or, if applicable, to convert ABR

99

Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c)                                  If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans (or, if such conversion is not possible, repaid) on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i)                                     to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and

(ii)                                  all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans (if possible), and all ABR Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.

(d)                           If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.

(e)                            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted or made after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

Section 3.07.  Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a)                           If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make any Eurodollar Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, on 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (x) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) (it being understood that any such assignment shall become effective only in accordance with Section 10.04(e)), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii)) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that

100

neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; provided, further, that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents; or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that, in the case of any such termination of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall be in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii);

(b)                                 In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, each affected Lender, each Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans or each affected Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans, in each case in accordance with Section 10.08, and (iii) the Required Lenders (in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all Lenders or all affected Lenders of a certain Class, the Required Class Lenders) and, if applicable, the Required Revolving Lenders and the Required Term Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

(c)                            Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent.  Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance and (C) upon such payment and, the assignment being recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.04(e), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.  In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender.

(d)                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with Article 9.

Section 3.08.  Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

101
