(a)        Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Funding Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment.  Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b)        Each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.22, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment.  Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02     Loans.

(a)        Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Term 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 Term Loan required to be made by such other Lender).  The Term Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing or any Borrowing of Refinancing Term Loans, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Refinancing Term Loan Amendment, as applicable) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b)        Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15 each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Term Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.  Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Term Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings (or such greater number as the Administrative Agent may agree) outstanding hereunder at any time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c)        Each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, make each Term 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, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2,

and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Event set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.05(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.05(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.05(c).

(d)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Term Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date and at such time in accordance with this Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Term Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.03     Borrowing Procedure.  In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Borrowing; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Borrowing having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing or an Incremental Term Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar

-52-

Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02.  If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04     Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a)        The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

(b)        Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the 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 Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

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

Section 2.05     Fees.

(a)        The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed between the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the amounts and at the times so agreed.

(b)        In the event that the Term Loans are prepaid in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.13(c), or in the event of an assignment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21(a)(iv), in each case, in connection with a Repricing Transaction on or prior to the six month anniversary

-53-

of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) equal to 1.00% of the principal amount so prepaid or assigned.

(c)        The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) for the period from and including May 10, 2014 to but including the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the date on which the Initial Term Loan Commitments terminate (or are otherwise reduced to zero), computed at a rate of 1.50% per annum on the aggregate daily amount of the unused Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender during such period, such fee to be earned and payable on the earlier of the Funding Date and the date the Initial Term Loan Commitments terminate in their entirety or are otherwise reduced to zero (it being understood that the Ticking Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed during such period).

(d)        All such Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent.  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 Term Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to Bank of America’s “prime rate” and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

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

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

Section 2.07     Default Interest.  If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue amounts shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, automatically (without the need of any vote by the Required Lenders) bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to Bank of America’s “prime rate” and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Term Loan plus 2.00% per annum (the “Default Rate”).

Section 2.08     Alternate Rate of Interest.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not

-54-

exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan, or (b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders in the case of clause (b) above) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09     Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)        The Initial Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the making of the Initial Term Loans as specified in Section 2.01(a) and (ii) the end of the Initial Term Loan Commitment Period.  Any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Refinancing Term Loan Amendment, as applicable.

(b)        Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.

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

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

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

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

-55-

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

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

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

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

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

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

provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (b) and (c) above, if the Borrower wishes to request a conversion or continuation in connection with a Eurodollar Borrowing having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, four Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them and, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before the requested date of such conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders.

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

-56-

Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.11     Repayment of Term Borrowings.

(a)        (i)  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October (or, in the case of the last installment, on the Maturity Date) (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), commencing on October 1, 2014, a principal amount of the Term Loans (other than any Other Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Extended Term Loans) equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans on the Funding Date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.22(d)) and as increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Term Loans (other than with respect to any Other Term Loans) pursuant to Section 2.22 (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner as the Term Loans made on the Funding Date), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

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

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

(iv)        The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Extending Lenders, on each Extended Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Extended Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13(e)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Extension Offer, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b)        [Reserved].

(c)        To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date applicable to such Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

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

Section 2.12     Voluntary Prepayment.

(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

-57-

notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Term 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 Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000.

(b)        Voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be applied as directed by the Borrower against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Loans under Section 2.11.

(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 in the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or the consummation of other transactions or events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further, however, that the provisions of Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension.  All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Sections 2.05(b) and 2.16 but otherwise 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.

Section 2.13     Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Sale of Term Priority Collateral or Event of Loss in respect of Term Priority Collateral by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply those Net Cash Proceeds at its option:

(i)         to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition, such Permitted Business is owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor and such Permitted Business includes Term Priority Collateral with a Fair Market Value at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Term Priority Collateral disposed of in the applicable Sale of Term Priority Collateral or subject to such Event of Loss; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral as required and as provided under the Security Documents;

(ii)        to make capital expenditures on assets that constitute Term Priority Collateral;

(iii)       to acquire other assets that are pledged as Term Priority Collateral and designated to the Collateral Agent as such, and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;

(iv)       to repay Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations in an amount not to exceed the product of (A) the quotient equal to (x) the principal amount of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations then outstanding divided by (y) the sum of (1) the principal amount of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations then outstanding and (2) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding, multiplied by (y) the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Sale of Term Priority Collateral or Event of Loss with

-58-

the remaining Net Cash Proceeds applied to repay the Loans in accordance with clauses (e) and (f) below; and/or

(v)        to repay, prepay or otherwise acquire for value Term Loan Obligations;

provided, that any binding commitment to apply Net Cash Proceeds to invest in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.13(a) shall be treated as a permitted final application of Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment, provided, further, that if such commitment is later cancelled, terminated or otherwise not consummated after the 365-day period for any reason, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below).  For purposes of this Section 2.13(a), the Net Cash Proceeds attributable to the sale of a group of assets consisting of both Term Priority Collateral and assets that are not Term Priority Collateral shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds from Term Priority Collateral and such other assets, respectively, based on the Fair Market Value of the Term Priority Collateral and such other assets (as determined in good faith by the Borrower, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

Any such Net Cash Proceeds not applied within the deadlines described in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13(a) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that, at its option, the Borrower may characterize any Net Cash Proceeds from a Sale of Term Priority Collateral or an Event of Loss as Excess Proceeds prior to the expiration of such deadlines. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15,000,000 (or, at the option of the Borrower, at an earlier time), the Borrower shall, in accordance with Sections 2.13(e) and 2.13(f) and subject to Section 2.13(g), prepay the Term Loans with all such Excess Proceeds.  After such prepayment (or election by any Lenders not to accept such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(g)), the Borrower may apply any such Excess Proceeds remaining in any manner permitted by this Agreement, and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

(b)        No later than five Business Days after the date on which the annual financial statements are, or are required to be, delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a) with respect to a fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending January 2, 2016 (each such fiscal year, an “Excess Cash Flow Period”), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Sections 2.13(e) and 2.13(f) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) 50% (such percentage, as it may be adjusted below, the “Required Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period minus (y) the sum of (without duplication of any amounts previously deducted pursuant to this clause (y) in respect of any prior Excess Cash Flow Period) (1) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12 during such Excess Cash Flow Period, (2) the aggregate amount of cash spent to acquire Loans in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(6) during such Excess Cash Flow Period and (3) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12 and (B) the aggregate amount of cash spent to acquire Loans in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(6), in each case during the period after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period but before the date of such prepayment under this Section 2.13(b), but only, in each case under this clause (y), to the extent that such prepayments or acquisitions do not occur in connection with a refinancing of all or any portion of the Indebtedness prepaid; provided that the Required Percentage shall be reduced to (i) 25% if the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio as of the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period was less than 2.75 to 1.00 and (ii) 0% if the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio as of the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period was less than 2.25 to 1.00.

-59-

(c)        In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 (or that is permitted pursuant to clause (23) of Section 6.01(b) as to which the mandatory prepayment requirement of this Section 2.13(c) shall apply), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day after) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Sections 2.13(e) and 2.13(f).

(d)        [Reserved].

(e)        Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata among the Term Loans, the Other Term Loans, the Refinancing Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans and applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans, the Other Term Loans, the Refinancing Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) respectively, as directed by the Borrower (or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity) except to the extent the terms of any Other Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Extended Term Loans provide for a less favorable treatment thereof.

(f)        The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the paragraph of this Section 2.13 under which such prepayment is being made, the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment.  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Term Loan being prepaid, the principal amount of each Term Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and the order of application of such prepayment to the remaining scheduled installments of principal in respect thereof.  All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Sections 2.05(b) and 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(g)        With respect to any prepayment of the Term Facility pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including any prepayment of Term Loans described in Section 2.13(a)(v), but excluding any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c) with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred under clause (23) of Section 6.01(b)), any Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such prepayment of the Term Facility, the amount of the prepayment that is available to prepay the Term Loans (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be deposited in an account with the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, pending application of such amount on the Prepayment Date as set forth below and promptly after the date of such receipt, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans and the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be 10 Business Days after the date of such receipt.  Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date.  On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be withdrawn from the applicable account and applied ratably to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in the manner described in this Section 2.13 for such prepayment.  Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall, subject to any prepayment requirements of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower permitted under this Agreement, be retained by the Borrower.

Section 2.14     Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Term Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Term Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (including as a result of Taxes, other than any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are indemnified under Section 2.20, or any Excluded Taxes) (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)        If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company (other than as a result of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are indemnified under Section 2.20, or any Excluded Taxes), if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)        A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)        Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender under this Section 2.14(d) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, increased costs due to a Change in Law resulting from the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on Borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under syndicated credit facilities comparable to those provided hereunder.

Section 2.15     Change in Legality.

(a)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Term Loan or to give effect to

-61-

its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

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

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

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

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

Section 2.16     Breakage.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss (other than any loss of anticipated profit or margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Term Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Term Loan to an ABR Term Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Term Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Term Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Term Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the calculation of such amount in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

Section 2.17     Pro Rata Treatment.  Subject to Sections 2.13(g) and 2.15 and except as provided in Section 9.04(b)(6), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing made by or on behalf of the Borrower, each payment of interest on the Loans made by or on behalf of the Borrower, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance

-62-

with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans).  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

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

Section 2.19     Payments.

(a)        All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim.  Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders 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 applicable Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative

-63-

Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

Section 2.20     Taxes.

(a)        Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that, if any applicable withholding agent determines in good faith that it shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Law and (iii) to the extent that the deduction is made with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b)        In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c)        The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, the Collateral Agent or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e)        (A)  Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative

-64-

Agent, as the case may be, (i) to determine whether payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (ii) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction.  Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, 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 in writing of its legal inability to do so.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.20(e)(B)(i), 2.20(e)(B)(ii) and 2.20(e)(C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(B)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)         Each Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of 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 duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii)        Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, (and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)        two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(II)        two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);

(III)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code: (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not: (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form); or

(IV)        to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a participation), duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by duly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) or other required documentation from each beneficial owner, as applicable (together with, if applicable, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form)

-65-

of any upper-tier non-beneficial owner of such Foreign Lender) (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate from the beneficial owner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)).

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

(C)                            If any 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 applicable 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 the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnification payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such taxation authority; provided, further, that this subsection shall not be construed to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender 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.

Section 2.21                  Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a)                               In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any

-66-

Lender pursuant to Section 2.20 or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Term Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, on the outstanding Loans with respect to the Class of Term Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification), plus all amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, (x) if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder and (y) the failure of any Lender required to transfer and assign its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 2.21(a) to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register (and the Notes of such Lender shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure).

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

Section 2.22                  Incremental Term Loans.

(a)                               The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount (together with the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(24)) not to exceed the Incremental Term Loan Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders.  Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 7 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”); provided that, other than with respect to the terms specified in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.22(b), the terms of any Other Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b)                              The Borrower may seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Lenders in connection therewith.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Incremental Term Lender.  The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Term Loans except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement.  Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then existing Term Loans, (iii) the prepayment provisions may provide for the ability to participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, (iv) in the case of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments incurred on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, if (A) the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Term Loans, (y) the difference (if positive) between any LIBOR floor and the adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Other Term Loans and (z) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee (other than any customary arrangement, structuring, commitment, underwriting, documentation, syndication or similar fee (regardless of whether paid in whole or in part to any or all Incremental Term Lenders) or other fees not generally paid to all Incremental Term Lenders) directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (1) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (2) four) exceeds (B) the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans, (y) the difference (if positive) between any LIBOR floor and the Adjusted LIBO Rate (without giving effect to clause (a) in the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate) then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans and (z) if the Term Loans are initially made with OID, the amount of such OID divided by four) (the amount of such excess of clause (A) over clause (B) being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased such that the Yield Differential, after giving effect to such increase, is no more than 0.50%, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans; provided that if the ABR floor or LIBO floor for such Other Term Loans is greater than the ABR floor or LIBOR floor for the then outstanding Initial Term Loans, any resulting increase in the Applicable Margin on account of such increased ABR and/or LIBOR floor shall be implemented by increasing the ABR and/or LIBOR floor

-68-

applicable to such Initial Term Loans, and (v) the Other Term Loans shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and security with the existing Term Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

(c)                               Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.22 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (provided, that if the related Incremental Term Loans are being incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, the condition set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 4.01 shall be limited to customary “specified representations” that are conformed as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances of such Permitted Acquisition as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and the “specified purchase agreement representations” and the condition set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 4.01 shall be limited to there being no Event of Default under clause (b), (c) or (g) of Section 7.01 having occurred and being continuing at the time and immediately after the applicable Credit Event) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders) legal opinions, Board Resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.

(d)                              Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis.  This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Term Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing on a pro rata basis.  Any conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans to ABR Term Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16.  If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement.  In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.

Section 2.23                  Refinancing Facilities.

(a)                               The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more additional Tranches of Term Loans under this Agreement (“Refinancing Term Loans”) or one or more series of debt securities (“Refinancing Notes”), which refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund, or are in exchange for, in whole or in part, one or more Tranches of Term Loans (including any Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or then existing Refinancing Term Loans) under this Agreement; provided that such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may not be in an amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans being refinanced, renewed,

-69-

replaced, defeased, refunded or exchanged plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (if any and including any tender or prepayment premium or consent fee) thereon and upfront fees and OID, underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes; provided, further, that such aggregate principal amount may also be increased to the extent such additional amount is capable of being incurred at such time pursuant to Section 6.01 (and Section 6.02 to the extent secured) and such excess incurrence shall for all purposes hereof be an incurrence under the relevant subclauses of Section 6.01 (and Section 6.02 to the extent secured).  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made or the Refinancing Notes shall be issued, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i)                        the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced and the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not have a final maturity before the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced;

(ii)                        such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall have pricing (including interest rates, fees and premiums), amortization, optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment and redemption terms as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the relevant Refinancing Term Loan Lenders (as defined below) and/or Refinancing Note Holders (as defined below);

(iii)                          such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Loan Parties;

(iv)                          in the case of any such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes that are secured, such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes are secured by only assets comprising Collateral, and not secured by any property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;

(v)                              all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemptions terms) shall (I) be substantially identical to, or (II) (taken as a whole) be otherwise not materially more favorable to the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders and/or Refinancing Note Holders than those applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced, except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date then in effect; provided that Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and/or security with the remaining Term Loans or may be unsecured so long as the holders of any Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes that are subordinated in right of payment and/or security are subject to an intercreditor agreement the material terms of which are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (provided that an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set out in the foregoing clause (v), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent provides notice to the Borrower of an objection during such five Business Day period (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects)).

-70-

(b)                              The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other Person that would be an Eligible Assignee of Term Loans to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Lender”) or Refinancing Notes (a “Refinancing Note Holder”); provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans and/or Refinancing Notes may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan or purchase Refinancing Notes.  Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated a series (a “Refinancing Term Loan Series”) of Refinancing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment (as defined below), be designated as an increase in any previously established Refinancing Term Loan Series of Refinancing Term Loans made to the Borrower.

(c)                               The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.23(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of interest, fees, amortization or premium in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Notes on the terms specified by the Borrower) and hereby waive the requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by Section 2.23(a).  The Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans (a “Refinancing Term Loan Amendment”) which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.23(a).  The Refinancing Notes shall be established pursuant to a Refinancing Notes Indenture which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.23(a).  Each Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties party thereto and the other parties hereto without the consent of any other Lender and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into 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 Section 2.23, including in order to establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of the Refinancing Term Loans and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and to adjust the amortization schedule in Section 2.11(a) (insofar as such schedule relates to payments due to Lenders the Term Loans of which are refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans; provided that no such amendment shall reduce the pro rata share of any such payment that would have otherwise been payable to the Lenders the Term Loans of which are not refinanced with the proceeds of Refinancing Term Loans).  The Administrative Agent shall be permitted, and each is hereby authorized, to enter into such amendments with the Borrower to effect the foregoing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Refinancing Term Loan Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.23 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Refinancing Term Loan Amendment, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.

Section 2.24                  Extension of Loans.

(a)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Loans with a like Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans with the same Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of any Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans of such Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest

-71-

rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Loans) (each, an “Extension”, with each group of Loans as so extended, as well as the original Loans not so extended, being a separate Tranche and any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time the notice in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Lenders, and no Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Extended Term Loans, (ii) 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 (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loans (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date), (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date at the time of extension and the amortization schedule applicable to Extended Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05 for periods prior to the Original Loan Maturity Date may not be increased, (iv) 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 Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended 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 (except for prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(c) from proceeds of Indebtedness incurred under clause (23) of Section 6.01(b)) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such 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 Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (ix) the interest rate margin applicable to any Extended Term Loans will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Extended Term Loans.

(b)                              With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.24, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.12 or 2.13 and (ii) any Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount of $20,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be tendered.

(c)                               No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate an Extension other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans.  All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are guaranteed and secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case

-72-

on terms consistent with this Section 2.24.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby directed by the Lenders to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent).

(d)                              In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, 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 2.24.

(e)                               This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or 9.08 to the contrary.

Section 3.05                  Financial Statements.

(a)                               The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, in each case audited by and accompanied by the opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for each fiscal quarter ended after December 28, 2013 and at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date, certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower.  Such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods.  Such financial statements and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof.  Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

(b)                              The “adjusted” and “comparable adjusted” financial information set forth in the Confidential Information Memorandum was prepared by management of the Borrower based on the audited and unaudited financial information of the Borrower, giving effect to good-faith adjustments that management of the Borrower believed were reasonable at the time prepared.

Section 3.06                  No Material Adverse Change.  No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 28, 2013.

Section 3.07                  Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases.

(a)                               Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Properties), except where the failure to have such title or other interest would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  All such material properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

-74-

Section 3.10                  Agreements.

(a)                               None of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate restriction that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-75-

or assets are bound, where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11                  Federal Reserve Regulations.  No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board.  Not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is represented by Margin Stock.

(c)                               For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01: in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories (or portions thereof) described in clauses (1) through (24) of Section 6.01(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(a), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (based on circumstances existing at the time of such reclassification), such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one or more of the above clauses (or portions thereof) or under Section 6.01(a); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement on Closing Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception in Section 6.01(b)(1).  For the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness under clause (25) may not be reclassified pursuant to this Section 6.01(c) and may not be refinanced except with the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans.

(d)                              The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (as applicable) with the same terms, shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 6.01.

(e)                               For purposes of determining the compliance of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any of the clauses of Section 6.01(b) to Refinance other Indebtedness, to the extent that the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the same clause of Section 6.01(b) and then outstanding, exceeds the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness permitted at such time by such clause, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall nevertheless be deemed to be incurred in compliance with such clause and this covenant if the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to such clause, after giving effect to such incurrence, does not exceed the sum of the principal amount of the Refinanced Indebtedness

-95-

(including any existing commitments unused thereunder), plus any accrued and unpaid interest and a reasonable premium thereon plus other reasonable amounts paid, and fees and expenses reasonably incurred (including any original issue discount and upfront fees), in connection with such Refinancing, plus the aggregate principal amount of any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to such clause and then outstanding.

(f)                                Subject to Section 6.01(c), any indebtedness incurred under a Credit Facility pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(1) shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 6.01 to have been incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first incurred until such Indebtedness is actually repaid (other than pursuant to “cash sweep” provisions or any similar provisions under any Credit Facility that provide that such Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid daily (or otherwise periodically)). For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent any Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance Indebtedness incurred under any clause (or portion thereof) of Section 6.01(b) that is limited by a Borrowing Base or a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets or by a Consolidated Total Debt Ratio or a Consolidated Total Secured Debt Ratio, the Indebtedness so incurred may be incurred pursuant to such clause (or portion thereof) if the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to such clause, after giving effect to such incurrence, does not exceed the sum of the principal amount of the Refinanced Indebtedness (including any existing commitments unused thereunder), plus any accrued and unpaid interest and a reasonable premium thereon plus other reasonable amounts paid, and fees and expenses reasonably incurred (including any original issue discount and upfront fees), in connection with such Refinancing, plus the aggregate principal amount of any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to such clause and then outstanding, even if such Refinancing Indebtedness could not itself be incurred pursuant to such clause (or portion thereof) at such time.

(g)                               The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1)                              the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2)                              the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3)                              in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A)                           the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B)                            the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 6.02                  Liens.

(a)                               Enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens that secure obligations under any Indebtedness of any kind on any asset or property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens; provided that prior to the Funding Date the Borrower will not, nor will it cause or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness described in either clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof on assets that would otherwise constitute Collateral as of the Funding Date, other than Permitted Liens described in clauses (1), (2)(i), (8) or (39) of the definition thereof.

-96-

(b)                              For purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.22 and this Section 6.02, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (38) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1) through (38) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies (based on circumstances existing at the time of such division, classification or reclassification) with this Section 6.02.  For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that any Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under any clause (or portion thereof) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” that is limited by a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets or by a Consolidated Total Debt Ratio or a Consolidated Total Secured Debt Ratio, the Indebtedness so incurred may be secured by such Liens pursuant to such clause (or portion thereof) at such time.

(c)                               With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”

For the avoidance of doubt, the words “suffer to exist” in Section 6.02(a) shall not be deemed to require the ongoing maintenance of any financial ratio, Borrowing Base or Consolidated Total Assets level.

Section 6.04                  [Reserved].

Section 6.05                  Mergers, Consolidations, Sales of Assets and Acquisitions.
