RECITALS

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in these Recitals have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in Schedule 1.1 hereof;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time prior to the Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), the Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Lenders”) have extended certain credit facilities to the Borrower consisting of (i) $601,329,545.41 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Existing Term Loans”) and (ii) $195,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Existing Revolving Commitments”; and any loans extended thereunder, together with the Existing Term Loans, the “Existing Loans”), the proceeds of which were used to repay certain existing Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, pay expenses related thereto and to provide funds for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested (a) new term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $725,000,000, the Loans in respect of which will be available to the Borrower on the Effective Date, (b) new revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $195,000,000 and (c) to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto (including certain Existing Lenders) are willing to provide the Initial Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments, as the case may be;

WHEREAS, it is understood and agreed that the Initial Term Loan Commitments and corresponding Initial Term Loans and the Revolving Commitments shall refinance in full all outstanding Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Refinancing”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has agreed to secure all of its Obligations by granting to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority Lien on substantially all of its assets, including a pledge of all of the Equity Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries, 66.0% of all of the voting Equity Interests of each of its Foreign Subsidiaries that are CFCs and all of the non-voting Equity Interests of each of its Foreign Subsidiaries that are CFCs, in each case subject to the exclusions, terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents; and

WHEREAS, the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and to secure their respective Obligations by granting to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority Lien on substantially all of their respective assets, including a pledge of all of the Equity Interests of each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries (including the Borrower), 66.0% of all of the voting Equity Interests of each of their respective Foreign Subsidiaries that are CFCs and all of the non-voting Equity Interests of each of their respective Foreign Subsidiaries that are CFCs, in each case subject to the exclusions, terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents.

WHEREAS, all Annexes, Schedules, Exhibits and other attachments (collectively, “Appendices”) hereto are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together, shall constitute but a single agreement. These Recitals shall be construed as part of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

1.1 Definitions.

Capitalized terms used in the Loan Documents shall have (unless otherwise provided elsewhere in the Loan Documents) the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.

1.2 Interpretive Matters.

(a) All other undefined terms contained in any of the Loan Documents shall, unless the context indicates otherwise, have the meanings provided for by the Code as in effect in the State of New York to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless otherwise specified, references in this Agreement or any of the Appendices to a Section, subsection or clause refer to such Section, subsection or clause as contained in this Agreement. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement or any such Annex, Exhibit or Schedule. Any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document or any other document or agreement means such document as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time (subject to the restrictions on such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications set forth herein). If any date of compliance with the terms and conditions of any Loan Document falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day.

(b) Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders. The words “including,” “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; references to Persons include their respective successors and assigns (to the extent and only to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents) or, in the case of governmental Persons, Persons succeeding to the relevant functions of such Persons; and all references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of the same and any successor statutes and regulations. Whenever any provision in any Loan Document refers to the knowledge (or an analogous phrase) of any Loan Party, such words are intended to signify that a Responsible Officer such Loan Party has actual knowledge or awareness of a particular fact or circumstance.

(c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations are explicitly modified by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. If any “Accounting Changes” (as defined below) occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants, standards or terms used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree in good faith to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Loan Parties’ and their Restricted Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the agreement of the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders to any required amendments of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto. “Accounting Changes” means (i) changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor thereto or any agency with similar functions), including, but not limited to, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™; (ii) changes in accounting principles concurred in by the Borrower’s certified public accountants; (iii) purchase accounting adjustments under A.P.B. 16 and/or 17 and EITF 88-16, and the application of the accounting principles set forth in FASB 109, or, in each case, any FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ having a similar result or effect, including the establishment of reserves pursuant thereto and any subsequent reversal (in whole or in part) of such reserves; and (iv) the reversal of any reserves established as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. If the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders agree upon the required amendments, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If the Borrower and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Article VII shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financing Accounting Standard or FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary at “fair value”. For purposes of calculations made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise for purposes of compliance herewith, GAAP will be deemed to treat operating leases and Capital Lease Obligations in a manner consistent with their current treatment under generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the Effective Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter.

(d) For purposes of determining whether the incurrence of any Indebtedness is in compliance with any applicable ratio (including any applicable First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio), test or basket, such determination shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis for the incurrence of such Indebtedness without netting the net cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for purposes of any leverage ratio (but giving effect to any use of such net cash proceeds) and, in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting revolving Indebtedness, assuming that such Indebtedness is fully drawn.

(e) Financial Statements that are “required to be delivered” shall mean, with respect to Holdings, Borrower and any Subsidiary, Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the applicable requirements under Section 5.1.

1.3 Limited Condition Transaction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of (i) measuring any applicable ratio (including any applicable First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio), test, exception or basket in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Incremental Facilities) or Liens or the making of any acquisitions or other Investments, Restricted Payments, Junior Debt Payments, asset sales, mergers, liquidations or fundamental changes, (ii) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires (A) that the representations and warranties of the Borrower or any other Loan Party set forth herein or in any other Loan Document be true and correct as of a specified date or (B) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from a specified action or (iii) determining satisfaction of any condition precedent to such action set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall at the Borrower’s option (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”) be deemed to be, in the case of any Junior Debt Payment requiring delivery of notice in advance thereof or any Restricted Payment declared in advance thereof, the date of delivery of such notice, declaration or similar event and, in the case of any other Limited Condition Transaction, the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (in each case, such date, the “LCT Test Date”), and if, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Measurement Period ended prior to the LCT Test Date for which Financial Statements are required to be delivered, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, provision or

condition precedent, the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, provision or condition precedent for all purposes relating to such Limited Condition Transaction; provided that in connection with any Borrowing, no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of such Borrowing. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio (other than for purposes of determining actual compliance with the financial covenant under Section 7.10 (as opposed to compliance on a Pro Forma Basis for purposes of another provision)), test or basket in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Incremental Facilities) or Liens or the making of any acquisitions or other Investments, Restricted Payments, Junior Debt Payment, asset sales, mergers, liquidations or fundamental changes occurring on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction or notice or declaration is terminated, revoked or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated (A) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (B) with respect to any Restricted Payments, assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be consummated in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets, provisions or conditions precedent for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, occurring on or prior to consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, provision or condition precedent notwithstanding such fluctuations, and (ii) any applicable ratios, tests or baskets, provisions or conditions precedents shall only be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction if the Borrower has elected in its sole discretion to test such ratio, test or basket, provision or condition precedent on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated instead of the LCT Test Date.

1.4 Pro Forma Basis.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all ratios (including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio), tests and baskets, and compliance with covenants determined by reference to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or TTM Consolidated EBITDA, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.4; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, when calculating (i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the “Applicable Margin” and (ii) the Total Net Leverage Ratio for the purposes of determining actual compliance with the financial covenant under Section 7.10 (as opposed to compliance on a Pro Forma Basis for purposes of another provision), the events described in this Section 1.4 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Measurement Period shall not be given Pro Forma Effect.

(b) For purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or TTM Consolidated EBITDA, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Measurement Period or (ii) subsequent to such Measurement Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Measurement Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Measurement Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Measurement Period shall have consummated any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.4, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or TTM Consolidated EBITDA, as applicable, shall be calculated to give Pro Forma Effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.4.

(c) Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower or Holdings and may include, at the Borrower’s or Holding’s option, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the amount of pro forma “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operational improvements and synergies related to such Specified Transaction (including expected revenue enhancements) that are reasonably identifiable and projected by the Borrower or Holdings in good faith to result from actions that have been taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or initiated or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower or Holdings) within the first 18 months after such Specified Transaction and reasonably anticipated (in the good faith determination of the Borrower or Holdings) to be realized during such period (calculated (i) on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of the applicable Measurement Period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operational improvements and synergies were realized during the entirety of such Measurement Period and (ii) such that “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with such actions or steps) relating to such Specified Transaction, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such Measurement Period from such actions or steps, (y) any pro forma adjustments reflected (in reasonable detail) by any due diligence quality of earnings report conducted by a “big four” accounting firm, FTI Consulting, Inc. or another third-party financial advisor reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and retained by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, and (z) any pro forma adjustments determined on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as interpreted by the staff of the SEC (or any successor agency); provided that no amounts shall be added back in computing Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such Measurement Period; provided, that, the aggregate amount of all addbacks pursuant to this Section 1.4(c)(x), together with the adjustments set forth in clause (f) of the definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 15% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (calculated prior to giving effect to such addbacks and adjustments).

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement, defeasance, discharge or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (i) during the applicable Measurement Period or (ii) subsequent to such Measurement Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such ratio or test shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness, in each case, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Measurement Period. Interest on a Capital Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower or Holdings to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

1.5 Calculation of Amounts.

(a) In the event that any action or transaction meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of exceptions, thresholds or baskets pursuant to any applicable covenant in Article VII, such action or transaction (or portion thereof) may be divided and classified, and later (on one or more occasions) be redivided and/or reclassified under one or more of such exceptions, thresholds or baskets of the same covenant as the Borrower may elect from time to time, including reclassifying any utilization of fixed (which may be specified as a percentage of TTM Consolidated EBITDA or otherwise subject to grower components) exceptions, thresholds or baskets (for purposes of this Section 1.5, “fixed baskets”) as incurred under any available incurrence-based exception, threshold or basket (including any exception or basket requiring compliance with a specified First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio) (for purposes of this Section 1.5, “incurrence-based baskets”), and if any applicable ratios or financial tests for such incurrence-based baskets would be satisfied at any time in any subsequent fiscal quarter, such reclassification shall be deemed to have automatically occurred at such time if not elected by the Borrower.

(b) In the event any fixed baskets are intended to be utilized together with any incurrence-based baskets in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (i) compliance with or satisfaction of any applicable financial ratios or tests for the portion of any Indebtedness, Liens or other applicable transaction or action to be incurred under any incurrence-based baskets shall first be calculated without giving effect to amounts being utilized pursuant to any fixed baskets, but giving full Pro Forma Effect to all applicable and related transactions (including, subject to the foregoing with respect to fixed baskets, any incurrence and repayments of Indebtedness) and all other permitted pro forma adjustments, and (ii) thereafter, incurrence of the portion of such Indebtedness, Liens or other applicable transaction or action to be incurred under any fixed baskets shall be calculated.

1.6 LIBOR Discontinuation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

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

(b) Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.6.

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

1.7 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), including but not limited to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act: (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

1.8 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments in connection with any refinancing, extension, renewal, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender.

ARTICLE II
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

2.1 Credit Facilities.

(a) Revolving Credit Facility.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions expressly set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower from time to time on and following the Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of advances under the Revolving Loan Commitment (each, an “Advance”); provided that on each date that an Advance is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. The Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan of any Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed its separate Revolving Loan Commitment. The obligations of each Revolving Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. The aggregate amount of Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time the Maximum Amount less the sum of the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at

such time (such aggregate amount of Advances permitted to be outstanding at any one time, the “Borrowing Availability”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and, subject to Borrowing Availability, reborrow under this Section 2.1(a) for the purposes described in Section 2.4. Each Advance shall be made on notice by the Borrower to Administrative Agent at the address specified herein. Such notices must be given no later than (a) in the case of an Alternate Base Rate Loan borrowing, 10:00 a.m. New York time one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing of a requested Alternate Base Rate Loan, and (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan borrowing, 12:00 noon New York time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice (a “Notice of Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy, electronic means, including by email and pdf attachment of such Notice of Advance, or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(a)(i) and shall include the information required in such Exhibit. If the Borrower desires to have the Advances bear interest by reference to a Eurodollar Rate, Borrower must comply with Section 2.5(e) unless otherwise waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender promptly after receipt of a Notice of Advance of the details thereof by telecopy, electronic means or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall, severally and not jointly, make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account not later than 12:00 noon New York time on the borrowing date set forth on the Notice of Advance so that the Administrative Agent may make such Advance available to the Borrower in same day funds by wire transfer to the Borrower’s account set forth on the Notice of Advance.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower the aggregate Advance requested in any Notice of Advance on the assumption that each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent elects to make any Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a requested Advance available to the Borrower, prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds from such Revolving Lender, and if such Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Advance to the Administrative Agent as required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, promptly following receipt of such notice, repay such portion of such Advance to the Administrative Agent. Any such repayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon at the rate of interest then applicable to Advances that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. Without duplication of the foregoing, the Revolving Lender whose Pro Rata Share of a requested Advance was disbursed to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds from such Revolving Lender, shall promptly make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent, and if any Revolving Lender fails to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent by the time required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Revolving Lender, and such Revolving Lender shall, promptly following receipt of such notice, pay such amount together with accrued interest thereon at the rate of interest then applicable to Advances that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Revolving 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. Nothing in this Section 2.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender as a result of any failure by that Revolving Lender to fund any portion of its Loans as required under this Agreement.

(iii) The entire unpaid balance of the aggregate Revolving Loan and all other Revolver Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement) shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (x) the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date and (y) the date of acceleration of the Revolver Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, if not sooner paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to timely make all payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents).

(iv) Each Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000.

(b) Initial Term Loan.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions expressly set forth herein, on the Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Term Loan to the Borrower in an original principal amount not to exceed such Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Initial Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Initial Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Initial Term Loan shall be made on notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at the address specified herein. Such notice must be given at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Date (it being agreed and understood that any such notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an event and revocable in the event such event will or does not occur). Such notice (a “Notice of Term Loan”) must be given in writing (by telecopy, electronic means, including by email and pdf attachment of such Notice of Term Loan, or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(b)(i).

(ii) The Initial Term Loan shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments of $1,812,500 on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with September 30, 2021, (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments and repurchases in accordance with Section 2.3).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (ii), the entire unpaid balance of the aggregate Initial Term Loan and all other Term Loan Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement) shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date, if not sooner paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (without limiting Borrower’s obligation to timely make all payments required under the terms of the Loan Documents).

(d) Incremental Facilities.

(i) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Request”), request to establish (A) (1) one or more new commitments under any then-existing tranche of Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) and/or (2) one or more additional tranches of term loans (an “Incremental Term Facility” and, collectively with any Term Loan Increase, “Incremental Term Commitments”) under this Agreement and/or (B) (1) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (2) one or more new revolving credit commitments (a “New Revolving Credit Commitment” and, collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increases, “Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments” and, collectively with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”); Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, collectively with any Incremental Term Commitments, “Incremental Commitments”).

(ii) Incremental Loans. On any Incremental Facility Effective Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Section 2.1(d)(iv), (A) each Incremental Term Loan Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment in respect of such Class and (B) each Incremental Term Loan Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Any Incremental Term Facility shall be designated as a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Effective Date on which any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Section 2.1(d)(iv), (A) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall make its Commitment available to the Borrower (when borrowed, an “Incremental Revolving Loan” and collectively with any Incremental Term Loan, “Incremental Loans”) in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Increase or New Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, and (B) each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Revolving Commitment Increase or the New Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, and the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto.

(iii) Incremental Request. Each Incremental Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments may be provided, by any existing Lender (but, unless otherwise agreed in writing, no existing Lender will have any obligation to provide any Incremental

Commitment and the Borrower will not have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to request any Incremental Commitment) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”) (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Commitment, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Lender” or “Incremental Term Loan Lender”, as applicable, and, collectively, “Incremental Lenders”); provided that the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans, or providing such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.1(a) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender.

(iv) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments established or incurred thereunder, shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions (the effective date of any Incremental Amendment, an “Incremental Facility Effective Date”):

(A) subject to Section 1.3 in the case of any Incremental Commitments established or incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, no Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments;

(B) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Article IV shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such Incremental Facility Effective Date (or as of a specific earlier date if such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date and except for changes therein expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by this Agreement) (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein);

(C) each Incremental Term Commitment and each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 and such increments may be less than $1,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (E) below);

(D) [reserved]; and

(E) subject to Section 1.3 in the case of any Incremental Commitments established or incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the time of and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any proposed Incremental Commitments, the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Commitments established or incurred pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), shall not exceed the Incremental Cap as in effect on such Incremental Facility Effective Date.

(v) Required Terms. The terms, conditions, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments or the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of any Class, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that:

(A) any Incremental Term Loans and any New Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable:

(1) shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than any Loan Party and shall not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral;

(2) (x) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, shall (I) rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with any then-existing Term Loans, (II) be secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu basis or a junior basis with respect to any then-existing Term Loans or be unsecured and (III) to the extent secured or subordinated in right of payment, be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including by entry to an Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and (y) in the case of any New Revolving Credit Commitments, shall (I) rank pari passu with any Revolving Loan Commitments in effect after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments, (II) be secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with respect to any Revolving Loan Commitments in effect after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments and (III) be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including by entry to an Applicable Intercreditor Agreement;

(3) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, shall (I) mature no earlier than the latest maturity date of any Initial Term Loans in effect after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and (II) have a weighted average life to maturity no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Initial Term Loans in effect after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayments that would otherwise modify the weighted average life to maturity of such Initial Term Loans); provided that, at the option of the Borrower, this clause (A)(3) shall not apply to Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to the Incremental Maturity Carveout as in effect immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans;

(4) (x) in the case of any Term Loan Increase, shall be on the same terms (including maturity date and, other than with respect to original issue discount or upfront fees, interest rates) other than fees, and be pursuant to the same documentation (other than the applicable Incremental Amendment and any other documentation evidencing such Term Loan Increase), as the applicable Class of then-existing Term Loans being increased, in each case, as existing at the time of consummation of such Term Loan Increase, and (y) in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, shall be on the same terms (including maturity date and, other than with respect to original issue discount or upfront fees, interest rates) other than fees, and be pursuant to the same documentation (other than the applicable Incremental Amendment and any other documentation evidencing such Revolving Commitment Increase), as the applicable Class of then-existing Revolving Loan Commitments being increased, in each case, as existing at the time of consummation of such Revolving Commitment Increase;

(5) (x) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, subject to clause (A)(3) above, shall have amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders, and (y) in the case of any New Revolving Credit Commitment, shall not provide for scheduled amortization payments or a final scheduled maturity date prior to the then final scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Loan Commitments in effect after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitment; and

(6) (x) in the case of any Other Term Loans, (I) may provide for the ability of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders thereunder to participate on a pro rata basis, a less than pro rata basis or a greater than pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments of any then-existing Term Loans and (II) may provide for the ability of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders thereunder to participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of any then-existing Term Loans, in each case, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment, and (y) in the case of any New Revolving Credit Commitment, may provide for the ability of the Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders thereunder to participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions with any then-existing Revolving Loan Commitment or New Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment;

(B) the interest rate and fees applicable to any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans in the form of a syndicated “term loan b” facility denominated in US dollars and secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans and incurred on or prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date, if the All-In Yield of any such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the All-In Yield on the Initial Term Loans (calculated in the same manner and after giving effect to any amendment to interest rate margins under this Agreement after the Effective Date but immediately prior to the applicable Incremental Facility Effective Date) by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin applicable to the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield on the Initial Term Loans is 50 basis points less than the All-In Yield on such Incremental Term Loans (it being agreed that any increase in the All-In Yield to the Initial Term Loans required due to the application of a Eurodollar Rate floor or Alternate Base Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loans shall be effected solely through an increase to (or implementation of, as applicable) the Eurodollar Rate floor or Alternate Base Rate floor, as applicable, applicable to the Initial Term Loans); provided, further, that, at the option of the Borrower, this clause (B) shall not apply to (I) Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to the Incremental MFN Carveout as in effect immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, (II) any Incremental Term Loans maturing not less than eight (8) years after the Effective Date or (III) Incremental Term Loans incurred in connection with any Permitted Acquisition (this clause (B), the “MFN Provision”); and

(C) except as otherwise required or permitted in clauses (A) and (B) above, all other terms of any Incremental Facility shall be substantially consistent with any then-existing Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitment or New Revolving Credit Commitment, as the case may be, or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that (I) terms not substantially consistent with any then-existing Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, but which are applicable only after the then final scheduled maturity date of such Term Loans, Revolving Loan Commitment or New Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (II) terms that are more favorable to the Incremental Lenders or the agent in respect of such Incremental Facility than those contained in this Agreement, but which are conformed (or added) in this Agreement pursuant to an amendment hereto (which, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shall require only the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the Borrower) shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(vi) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.2 to the contrary, the Incremental Amendment may (i) without the consent of any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.1(d) and (ii) without the consent of any other Loan Party or any Lender amend this Agreement to increase the interest rate margin, increase the interest rate floor, increase, extend or add any prepayment premium, increase, extend or add any call protection or increase the amortization schedule with respect to any existing Class of Term Loans in order to cause any Incremental Term Loans to be fungible with such existing Class of Term Loans. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments as determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders.

(e) Reliance on Notices. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Advance, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or similar notice reasonably believed thereby to be genuine. Administrative Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering such a notice was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Administrative Agent has knowledge to the contrary.

(f) Termination of Commitments to Make Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may at any time from time to time on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate, in whole or in part, any undrawn commitment for Incremental Facilities.

(g) Refinancing Facilities.

(i) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness consisting of Refinancing Facilities to refinance all or any portion of the Facilities then outstanding under this Agreement (which will be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases); provided, that such Refinancing Facilities (i) will, to the extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”, be secured on a pari passu, junior lien, unsecured or subordinated basis, (ii) will, to the extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”, have such pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees, premiums and prepayment or redemption provisions and terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (iii) will, to the extent in the form of Refinancing Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitments, participate in the payment, borrowing, participation and commitment reduction provisions herein on a pro rata basis with any all Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments outstanding after giving effect to such Refinancing Revolving Loans or Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitments.

(ii) Commitments in respect of Refinancing Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Borrower and each lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Refinancing Amendment may, subject to this Section 2.1(g), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.1(g). In the event any Refinancing Term Loans are made, such Refinancing Term Loans shall mature and be repaid in amounts and on dates as agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of such Refinancing Term Loans in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 2.1(g) and the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”. Amounts paid or prepaid on account of any Refinancing Term Loans may not be reborrowed. This Section 2.1(g) shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.3 or Section 12.2 to the contrary.

(iii) Refinancing Facilities may be made by any bank, financial institution, fund or other investor that is not an individual (any such bank, financial institution, fund or other investor shall become an Additional Lender); provided that no Lender hereunder shall be required to participate in any such Refinancing Facilities as an Additional Lender without its consent; provided, further, that, the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the L/C Issuer shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Refinancing Term Loans and/or providing such Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.1 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person shall become an Additional Lender if an assignment to such Person would not be permitted under Section 10.1.

(h) Swingline Loans.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time on and following the Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $15,000,000 (the “Swingline Sublimit”) or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. The Swingline Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(ii) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall wire each Swingline Loan to the account of the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an Letter of Credit disbursement, by remittance to the applicable L/C Issuer) by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(iii) Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.1(a) as if such Borrowing was an Advance, without regard to the Borrowing minimum and Borrowing multiples, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such written request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.1(h)(iv), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(iv) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan in accordance with Section 2.1(h)(iii), the request for an Alternate Base Rate Revolving Loan Advance submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall automatically be deemed to be made to the Revolving Lenders to fund their risk participations in the Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, fund in cash their respective participations in the Swingline Loans on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.

2.2 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Revolving Loan Commitment may be used, from time to time on and following the Effective Date and prior to the Commitment Termination Date (provided that Letters of Credit may only be issued on the Effective Date to replace or provide credit support for any existing letters of credit (including grandfathering Existing Letters of Credit into Revolving Loans)), upon the request of Borrower, for the incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations, by Administrative Agent causing, whether through the issuance by Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates of support agreements, reimbursement agreements, guarantees or otherwise, Letters of Credit to be issued by the L/C Issuers for the Borrower’s or its Restricted Subsidiary’s account; provided that any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary shall have the Borrower as a co-applicant; provided further that none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, nor any of their respective affiliates, that are L/C Issuers shall be required to issue anything other than standby Letters of Credit. The Borrower may at any time, and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Lender. Any Revolving Lender designated as an L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be deemed to be and shall have all the rights and obligations of a “L/C Issuer” hereunder. Each Revolving Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and based upon its Pro Rata Share relating to the Revolving Loan Commitments, purchase (and be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all Letters of Credit Obligations incurred with the written consent of Administrative Agent, as more fully described in Section 2.2(b)(ii) below. No L/C Issuer shall be required to issue Letters of Credit on or after the Effective Date in excess of its L/C Commitment. The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least of (i) $15,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”) and (ii) (A) the Maximum Amount less (B) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances. No such Letter of Credit shall be issued in a stated face amount of less than $100,000 (unless consented to otherwise in writing by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and no such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date which is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof (provided, that such Letters of Credit may provide for one or more extensions thereof up to 12 months, whether automatic or by action of the applicant thereto), and no Revolving Lender shall be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date which is later than five (5) days prior to the Commitment Termination Date unless cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.2(c) below or backstopped with another letter of credit for the period after the Commitment Termination Date, in each case, on terms acceptable to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Advances Automatic; Participations.

(i) In the event that Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender shall make any payment to an L/C Issuer on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute an Advance to the Borrower under Section 2.1(a) regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Article III, and each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with this Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such Advance or payment by Administrative Agent under or in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

(ii) If the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for Borrower to incur Advances as contemplated by Section 2.2(b)(i) above because of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(h) or (i) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Revolving Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation, then (A) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Administrative Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Administrative Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Advances.

(i) If Borrower is required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding for the benefit of the Borrower plus expected Letter of Credit Fees to be earned thereon. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment (including an account at the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent is a bank or other financial institution capable of maintaining deposits). The Cash Collateral Account shall be (i) in the name of the Borrower, and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent or (ii) if elected by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, in the name of and owned by Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive control of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable Law for this purpose.

(ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall, as required by Administrative Agent, either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties and other support thereof to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration as, and in an amount equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate plus expected Letter of Credit Fees to be earned thereon and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, Administrative Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrower to Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower, any such remaining funds shall be returned to the Borrower unless an Event of Default is in existence at such time, in which case such funds shall be applied to any other Obligations of Borrower then due and payable in the order set forth in Section 2.8.

(iv) Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to the Borrower unless an Event of Default is in existence at such time, in which case such funds shall be applied to other Obligations when due and owing in the order set forth in Section 2.8 and, if the Termination Date shall have occurred, any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

(d) Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender is required hereunder to reimburse any L/C Issuer in respect of any Letter of Credit and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each Fiscal Quarter during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal

to(A) a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans during such Fiscal Quarter multiplied by (B) the daily amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to any L/C Issuer, on demand, such customary fees (other than Letter of Credit Fees), charges and unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued. The Borrower shall pay to each L/C Issuer until the expiration or cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum times the daily amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credits payable (A) on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, and (B) on the Commitment Termination Date, in each case on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such lesser period agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation, specifying the date such Letter of Credit Obligation is to be incurred, identifying the beneficiary to which such Letter of Credit Obligation relates and describing the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer in its reasonable judgment) and a completed L/C Application. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, L/C Applications by Borrower and approvals by Administrative Agent may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among Borrower, Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(f) Obligation Absolute. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Administrative Agent, Revolving Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuer for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligations of each Revolving Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such obligations of Borrower and Revolving Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including the following circumstances:

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

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Revolving Lender may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, L/C Issuer, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty or other support, except as set forth in the proviso to clause (iii) of the second paragraph of Section 2.2(g) below;

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (limited, in the case of legal fees, costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and to the extent reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons taken as a whole)) and, for the avoidance of doubt, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (limited, in the case of legal fees, costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, limited to one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and to the extent reasonably necessary one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole)) arising in connection with any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding brought against Administrative Agent, a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer by a Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any other Person which Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof, or (ii) the failure of Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or of any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent, a Revolving Lender or a L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), as applicable. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.2(g) shall be deemed to constitute Guaranteed Indebtedness.

As between Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer and the Borrower, Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law none of Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided that in the case of any payment by Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof, Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer shall be liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty or other support thereof; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Administrative Agent’s, any Revolving Lender’s or any L/C Issuer’s rights or powers under this Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by the Borrower in favor of any L/C Issuer in any L/C Application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between or among the Borrower and such L/C Issuer.

(h) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Following Borrower’s receipt of such notice by the L/C Issuer and not later than 12:00 noon New York time on the Business Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit drawing (each such date, an “L/C Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the L/C Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of an Advance that is an Alternate Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Article III.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(h) wire transfer funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on account of the L/C Issuer, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the first Business Day following such notice or such later date specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Advance that is an Alternate Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(i) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that there is a Defaulting Lender having any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment, L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit, or increase or extend or otherwise amend any Letter of Credit, unless (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 10.9(c)(ii) or (ii) if the reallocation described in the immediately preceding clause (i) cannot be accomplished in accordance with Section 10.9(c)(ii), Borrower provides cash collateral to Administrative Agent to hold on behalf of Borrower, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent, in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share, as applicable, in any Letter of Credit.

(j) Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month and at each issuance of a Letter of Credit (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree), each L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer during such month.

2.3 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time (i) on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than (x) in the case of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable prepayment date, and (y) in the case of any prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. New York time on the applicable prepayment date, voluntarily prepay all or part of the Advances or Term Loans and subject to any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g) and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans prepaid prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, reimbursement of redeployment costs (other than loss of profits) in accordance with Section 2.10 and (ii) on at least three (3) days’

prior written notice to Administrative Agent, permanently reduce in part (but not terminate except in accordance with the provisions below of this clause (a)) the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that (A) any such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount in the case of the Advances and Revolving Loan Commitments (or such lesser amount outstanding) and (B) any such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount in the case of the Term Loans (or such lesser amount outstanding). In addition, the Borrower may at any time from time to time on at least three (3) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitment in whole or in part; provided that upon such termination, the portion of the principal amount of the Revolving Loan then outstanding in excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to the Revolving Commitments so terminated) shall be immediately due and payable in full. Any such voluntary (or, per the immediately preceding sentence, required) prepayment of the Advances and/or the Term Loans and any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment must be accompanied by the payment of the fees required by Sections 2.3(g) and 2.6(b), if any, on the Advances and/or the Term Loans prepaid, plus the payment of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and for the avoidance of doubt, any voluntary prepayment or commitment reduction may be made contingent upon, or subject to, the occurrence of a refinancing of all or any part of the Obligations or commitments or other event or transaction. Upon any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment, Borrower’s right to request Advances shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated by the amount of such reduction or termination. Each Notice of Prepayment shall designate the Loans or other Obligations to which such prepayment is to be applied; provided that any partial prepayment of the Term Loans made by or on behalf of the Borrower shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Loans (including the final installment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date) as directed by the Borrower (pro rata among the Class of Term Loans selected to be prepaid based on the outstanding principal balances thereof) or absent such direction, in direct order of maturity. All reductions of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be shared by the Revolving Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment. Except as otherwise designated by the Borrower, any prepayment of a Loan under this Section 2.3(a) shall be applied first to the portion of such Loan comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to the portion of such Loan comprised of Eurodollar Loans, in the direct order of Interest Period maturities.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan exceeds Borrowing Availability then in effect, the Borrower shall repay (no later than one (1) Business Day after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower) the aggregate outstanding Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds of any asset disposition (including any disposition of Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary) outside of the ordinary course of business, Net Cash Proceeds of casualty insurance relating to any assets or property of such Person subject to a

casualty loss or Net Cash Proceeds of a Condemnation Event (in each case, other than dispositions permitted by Sections 7.8(a), 7.8(b), 7.8(c), 7.8(e), 7.8(f), 7.8(g), 7.8(h), 7.8(i), 7.8(k), 7.8(n) and 7.8(o)) (in each case, net of (I) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses (including legal and accounting fees) properly attributable to such transaction and payable by a Loan Party or its Restricted Subsidiary in connection therewith (in each case, to the extent not paid to a Loan Party), (II) transfer taxes, (III) amounts payable to holders of Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Liens hereunder with equal to or greater priority than the Liens under the Loan Documents), if any, (IV) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith and funded escrows for indemnification obligations attributable to the seller’s indemnities and representations and warranties to the purchaser in any such sale (provided that upon release of any such escrowed funds to a Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, such proceeds shall be subject to this Section 2.3(b)(ii)) and (V) in the case of insurance proceeds or a Condemnation Event, actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the adjustment or settlement of claims in respect thereof), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 per transaction (or series of related transactions) and in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate per Fiscal Year; provided, however, that such percentage (A) shall be reduced to 50% if, when calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent Measurement Period ended prior to the applicable date of determination for which Financial Statements are required to be delivered, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 but greater than 3.75 to 1.00, (B) shall be reduced to 25% if, when calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent Measurement Period ended prior to the applicable date of determination for which Financial Statements are required to be delivered, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 but greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and (C) shall be reduced to 0% if, when calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recent Measurement Period ended prior to the applicable date of determination for which Financial Statements are required to be delivered, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00; provided, further, that no prepayment shall be required in connection with such an asset disposition, casualty loss or Condemnation Event if the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are reinvested in any assets or property useful in the business of any Loan Party or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments) within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof, or to the extent that the Borrower commits within such eighteen (18) month period to reinvest such proceeds within one hundred eighty (180) days following the last day of such eighteen (18) month period, and actually reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds within such subsequent one hundred eighty (180) day period. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.3(c) below (either at the time of receipt thereof or upon expiration of the period described above to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested within such period), and shall be accompanied by LIBOR funding breakage costs as required under the terms of this Agreement, in each case to the extent applicable.

(iii) If any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.3, except for Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, prepay the Term Loans, without duplication, in an amount equal to all such cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs paid in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.3(c) below and shall be accompanied by LIBOR funding breakage costs as required under the terms of this Agreement, in each case to the extent applicable.

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) Until the Termination Date, beginning with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2022, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date the audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) hereof, in an amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year, minus (y) in each case, solely to the extent not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness (other than Revolving Loans), (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Incremental Equivalent Debt, Permitted Ratio Debt and other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations voluntarily prepaid, plus (B) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans voluntarily prepaid (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments or the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable), plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans repurchased and prepaid pursuant to Section 2.3(f) (limited to the amount of cash actually paid in respect of such purchase), plus (D) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans permanently prepaid by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 10.9(f), in each case, during such Fiscal Year or, at the Borrower’s option, after the end of such Fiscal Year and prior to the date of the applicable Excess Cash Flow prepayment; provided that the percentage of Excess Cash Flow that shall be required to be prepaid in accordance with this clause (v) in respect of a particular Fiscal Year shall be reduced to 25% if, when calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the Fiscal Year (for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to all prepayments of Indebtedness made after the end of the Fiscal Year but prior to the making of such Excess Cash Flow prepayment), the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4:25 to 1.00 but greater than 3.75 to 1.00, or 0% if, when calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the Fiscal Year (for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to all prepayments of Indebtedness made after the end of the Fiscal Year but prior to the making of such Excess Cash Flow prepayment), the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00; provided, further, that no prepayment with Excess Cash Flow shall be required if the amount of the prepayment (as calculated pursuant to this clause (v)) is not greater than $10,000,000 (and any required prepayment amount, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the amount of Excess Cash Flow in excess of such threshold, if any). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.3(c) below and shall be accompanied by LIBOR funding breakage costs as required under the terms of this Agreement, in each case to the extent applicable. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or Holdings certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.3(b)(v) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no such prepayment shall be due for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2021.

(vi) Each Term Loan Lender may elect, by three (3) Business Day written notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) (other than Section 2.3(b)(iii) with respect to Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), to decline all (but not less than all) of its Pro Rata Share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) in which case such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent prior to any such prepayment, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

(c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) through (b)(v) shall be applied as follows: first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (pro rata among the Class of Term Loans selected to be prepaid based on the outstanding principal balances thereof) or absent such direction, in direct order of maturity (applied first to the portion of such Loan comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to the portion of such Loan comprised of Eurodollar Loans, in the direct order of Interest Period maturities), and second, to any other Obligations then outstanding; provided that, if any Term Loan Lender elects to decline its Pro Rata Share of any prepayment in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(vi), such prepayment (other than such amounts constituting Declined Proceeds) shall be applied ratably to the portion of such Loan comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans and to the portion of such Loan comprised of Eurodollar Loans, in the direct order of Interest Period maturities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3(b).

(d) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.3(b), (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii) (a "Foreign Disposition"), the Net Cash Proceeds of any prepayment event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a "Foreign Prepayment Event") or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would be prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of directors of the relevant subsidiaries), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.3(b) (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined in the Borrower's reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, take all actions reasonably required by the applicable

local law, applicable organizational or constitutive impediment or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive impediment or other impediment, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes, costs and expenses that would be payable or reserved against as a result of repatriating such amounts) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have a material adverse tax consequence to Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.3(b). The non- application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

(e) No Deemed Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be construed to constitute Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction referred to in Sections 2.3(b)(ii) and (b)(iii) above which is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Dutch Auctions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (in such case, the foregoing being herein referred to as the “Auction Parties” and each, an “Auction Party”) may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:

(i) Such Auction Party may repurchase all or any portion of any Class of Term Loan pursuant to a Dutch Auction (or such other modified Dutch Auction conducted pursuant to similar procedures as the Borrower and Administrative Agent may otherwise agree); provided that no proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used by any Auction Party to repurchase Term Loans pursuant to such Auction;

(ii) Following repurchase by any Auction Party pursuant to this Section 2.3(f), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by any Auction Party) for all purposes of this Agreement and the principal amount of the Loans so repurchased shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the scheduled remaining installments of principal on such Class of Term Loans. In connection with any Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.3(f), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by any Auction Party in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 2.3(f) shall not be subject to any of the pro rata payment or sharing requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, failure by an Auction Party to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 2.3(f) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default;

(iii) Each Lender that sells its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Auction Parties may have, and later may come into possession of, Excluded Information, (ii) such Lender will independently make its own analysis and determination to enter into an assignment of its Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated by an Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of Excluded Information and (iii) none of the Auction Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person shall have any liability to such Lender with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender that tenders Loans pursuant to an Auction agrees to the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3(f) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment requirements) (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Loans by an Auction Party contemplated by this Section 2.3(f) shall not constitute Investments by such Auction Party) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.3(f).

(g) Prepayment Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months following the Effective Date, the Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any outstanding Initial Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Event (including in connection with an exercise of the Borrower’s rights under Section 10.9(f) with respect to a Repricing Event) or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event in respect of any outstanding Initial Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders (including any such Lender removed or replaced pursuant to Section 10.9(f) in connection with such Repricing Event), (i) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such Initial Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced, and (ii) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Initial Term Loans subject to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such amendment or prepayments, as the case may be.

2.4 Use of Proceeds.

(a) Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of the Term Loan advanced on the Effective Date solely for (i) financing the Refinancing and the payment of fees, costs, and expenses incurred or payable in connection with this Agreement and the Refinancing and (ii) working capital requirements, Capital Expenditures, general corporate purposes, including to finance Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments, earn-out payments, purchase price adjustments and other deferred payments and the payment of any fees, costs, and expenses incurred or payable in connection with any of the foregoing and any other use not prohibited by this Agreement (other than the payment of Restricted Payments).

(b) Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of Revolving Loans for working capital requirements, Capital Expenditures, general corporate purposes, including to finance Permitted Acquisitions and other permitted Investments, earn-out payments, purchase price adjustments and other deferred payments, Junior Debt Payments, Restricted Payments and the payment of any fees, costs, and expenses incurred or payable in connection with any of the foregoing and any other use not prohibited by this Agreement.

2.5 Interest and Applicable Margins.

(a) Borrower shall pay interest to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the Loans made by each Lender, in each case in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates (in each case subject to the terms of Section 2.1(d) and (g) pertaining to the rates of interest accruing on Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Facilities and any adjustments to the Applicable Margins as a result thereof): (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate, for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans.

(b) If any payment under the Loan Documents becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except for interest on a Eurodollar Loan accrued during any Interest Period which, pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Interest Period is required to end on the Eurodollar Business Day immediately preceding the day on which, but for such clause (a), it would have ended and except for the principal portion of such Eurodollar Loan payable on such day, which will also be paid on said immediately preceding Eurodollar Business Day), and, with respect to payment of principal, interest thereon shall accrue at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of Fees and interest on the Eurodollar Loans, shall be made by Administrative Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. All computations of interest on the Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be made by Administrative Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year (three hundred sixty-six (366) days in the case of a leap year) and the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The Alternate Base Rate shall be determined each day based upon the Alternate Base Rate as in effect each day. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fee payable by the Borrower is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount (unless owed to a Defaulting Lender) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum (such rate, the “Default Rate”) equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any such other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(e) Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Advances or all or any portion of the Term Loans be made as a Eurodollar Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans, (iii) convert any Eurodollar Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.10 if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period and the succeeding Interest Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan to be continued. Loans for which Borrower has not elected the LIBOR option shall be Alternate Base Rate Loans. During the continuation of any Event of Default, Requisite Lenders may terminate Borrower’s right to exercise the options set forth in this Section 2.5(e) by delivering written notice to the Borrower to that effect. Any Loan to be made or continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Loan must be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $2,500 in excess of such amount. Subject to Sections 2.1(d) and (g) hereof, any such election must be made by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan for an Interest Period designated by Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a Eurodollar Loan by 1:00 p.m. New York time on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that Eurodollar Loan shall be continued as a Eurodollar Loan with the same interest period as the prior Eurodollar Loan at the end of its Interest Period. Borrower must make such election by notice to Administrative Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 2.5(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall there be more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Effective Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 2.5(a) through (e) above, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.5(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in Section 2.8 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

2.6 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter prior to the Commitment Termination Date and on the Commitment Termination Date, a fee (such fee, the “Commitment Fee”) in respect of the Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed) of the difference between (x) the Maximum Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the sum of the aggregate Revolving Loans outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding during the period for which such Commitment Fee is due.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date ratably for the account of the Term Loan Lenders that have made an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date, an upfront fee in an aggregate amount equal to 0.50% of such Initial Term Loan (which amount may be netted against the proceeds of such Initial Term Loan).

2.7 Receipt of Payments.

(a) With respect to payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on account of all Revolver Obligations, Term Loan Obligations and other Obligations payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender in its capacity as such, Borrower shall make each such payment not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent’s Account (or to such other account(s) as are designated in writing by Administrative Agent to Borrower pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.7(a)). For purposes of computing interest and Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the day of receipt of immediately available funds therefor in the Administrative Agent’s Account, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. New York time on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

(b) Payments received by Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations (including without limitation the proceeds of Collateral), if received by 2:30 p.m. New York time on any Business Day, will be paid to the Lenders based upon their applicable Pro Rata Shares of such payments on such day, and in the event that any such amounts are received after 2:30 p.m. New York time on a Business Day, such amount shall be paid to the Lenders based upon their applicable Pro Rata Shares on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off any funding shortfall attributable to a Defaulting Lender (of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Defaulting Lender) against that Defaulting Lender’s respective share of amounts otherwise to be paid to such Defaulting Lender.

2.8 Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a) After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.2, subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, the Administrative Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent, in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, and expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, and expenses due and payable to any Lender (including Swingline Lender) or L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause second payable to them; third, to accrued and unpaid interest due and payable under this Agreement (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts) ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the amounts described in this clause third payable to them; fourth, to all unpaid principal of the Loans then due and owing, to provide cash collateral in accordance herewith to secure any then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and to all Obligations due to any Eligible Counterparty ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts described in this clause fourth payable to them; fifth, to all other outstanding Obligations ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and sixth, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law; provided, however, that in no event shall payments by a Guarantor or proceeds of Collateral of a Guarantor be applied to Excluded Rate Contract Obligations of such Guarantor.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Any balance remaining after giving effect to the applications set forth in this Section 2.8 shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out any of the applications set forth in this Section 2.8, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment or cash collateral in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

(d) Administrative Agent is authorized (but not obligated) to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of Borrower and cause to be paid all Fees, interest and principal, other than principal of the Revolving Loan (and during the continuance of an Event of Default, other than the principal and any interest on the Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loans), then due and owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due (after giving effect to any notice or cure periods), but not if such charges would cause the aggregate Advances to exceed the Maximum Amount less Letter of Credit Obligations. Any charges so made shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder and may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, including the existence of any Default or Event of Default either before or after giving effect thereto.

(e) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its payment obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations under any Hedge Agreement included in the Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.8(e) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.8(e), or otherwise under any Loan Document, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 2.8(e) shall remain in full force and effect until the guarantees in respect of Swap Obligations under each Hedge Agreement included in the Obligations have been discharged, or otherwise released or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.8(e) constitute, and this Section 2.8(e) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

2.9.

2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by electronic means or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist or until an alternate rate of interest shall have been implemented in accordance with Section 1.6, (i) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Notice of Advance requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

2.11 LIBOR Breakage.

(a) To induce Lenders to provide the Eurodollar Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any Eurodollar Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable Interest Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of Law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith (other than as a result of a default by a Lender); or (iii) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it (but excluding loss of anticipated profit) or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and all other Obligations. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10, and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower shall object in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in reasonable detail.

2.12 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and any Swingline Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax with respect to any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted with respect to a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.11(g)-2 or Exhibit 2.11(g)-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.11(g)-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s);

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible 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 copies of any other documentation 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; and

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

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.11(g).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.13 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower shall from time to time within ten (10) Business Days of demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which will be furnished to Administrative Agent) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to Borrower and to Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be (i) any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan or (ii) any Recipient becomes subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) in respect of its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributes thereto (and, the result of the foregoing in this clause (ii) is to increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan), then Borrower shall from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand is made by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which will be furnished to Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and to Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Lender agrees that as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(b). For purposes of this Section 2.13(b), the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such Eurodollar Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding Eurodollar Loans owing by Borrower to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand (or, if longer, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day), converts all such Loans into a Loan bearing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) The obligation of Borrower to make payments to any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) and 2.13(b) shall be limited to amounts that accrue on and after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender first makes demand therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such payments have a retroactive effect, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or this Section 2.13, or requires Loan Parties to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or this Section 2.13, then, upon the written request of the Borrower, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 10.1) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or this Section 2.13, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

2.14 Lenders’ Evidence of Indebtedness.

The Borrower agrees that: (i) upon written notice by any Lender to Borrower that a promissory note is requested by such Lender to evidence the Loans owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of any such request) execute and deliver to such Lender an appropriate Revolving Note (substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13(a)), Term Loan Note (substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.13(b)(i)) and (ii) upon any Lender’s written request to Borrower, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any such request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender new notes and/or divide the notes in exchange for then existing notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as such Lender shall specify in its reasonable discretion; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new notes of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Note or Term Loan Note outstanding at the time such request is made; and provided, further, that such Notes that are to be replaced automatically shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new notes and shall be marked as cancelled and returned to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of the replacement notes. Regardless whether or not any such promissory notes are issued, this Agreement shall evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable by Borrower to the Lenders.

As of the Effective Date, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(b) Projections. The Projections have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made and at the time any such Projections were furnished to the Administrative Agent (it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) such Projections are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of performance and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control and (ii) no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections will be realized, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material).

Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of a Loan Party owns good and marketable fee simple title to all of its owned Real Estate, and valid and marketable leasehold interests in all of its material leased Real Estate, except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and in each case subject to (i) Permitted Liens and (ii) minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes. Each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries also has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its material personal properties and assets, except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and in each case subject to (i) Permitted Liens and (ii) minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes. None of the properties and assets of any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Loan Party are subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens.

No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of such Loan Party, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of such Loan Party, threatened against any of them, (ii) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) to the best knowledge of such Loan Party, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of such Loan Party, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8 Certain Fees.

No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission shall be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the use of proceeds with respect thereto, except as payable to the Agents and Lenders.

4.9 Government Regulation.

No Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. No Loan Party nor any of its Restricted is or is required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.10 Margin Regulations.

No Loan Party and no Restricted Subsidiary of a Loan Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

4.11 Taxes.

Except for failures that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed by them and have paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by them (including in their capacity as a withholding agent), except any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or applicable foreign accounting principles.

4.12 ERISA.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates (i) are in compliance in with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the IRC and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Plan, and (ii) have performed all their obligations under each Plan. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the IRC has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Plan is so qualified, or is maintained pursuant to a volume submitter or prototype document

that is subject to a favorable advisory or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination, advisory or opinion letter, as the case may be, which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Plan (other than in the ordinary course) or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan) did not exceed the aggregate current fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of any Loan Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.13 No Litigation.

No action, claim, lawsuit, demand, or proceeding is now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing against any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, before any Governmental Authority or before any arbitrator or panel of arbitrators (collectively, “Litigation”), which challenges the right or power of any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document to which it is a party or any action taken thereunder except in any case, for such Litigation that would not reasonably be expected to result in injunctive relief or monetary judgment(s) against the Loan Parties or their Restricted Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of Governmental Authority, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE X
ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS;
APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Assignment and Participations.

(a) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent (and in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, the L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender) must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent by the Administrative Agent shall not be required with respect to an assignment to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender), an Approved Fund (other than an Approved Fund of a Defaulting Lender) and shall not, in each case, otherwise be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) no such assignment shall be made to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary thereof or (B) a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (iii) the amount of the Commitments and/or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) with respect to the Revolving Loan, $5,000,000 and (y) with

respect to the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, $1,000,000 and, in each case, in $250,000 increments thereof (or less (i) if constituting the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, Term Loan, and Incremental Term Loans, as applicable or (ii) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum assignment limitations, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with, unless such assignment shall be to an Affiliate of such Lender or to an Approved Fund, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except as waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case), (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an acknowledgment to any existing agreement among lenders, (vii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to Holdings, the Borrower or any Affiliate of Holdings or the Borrower, and (viii) except following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, any such assignment shall be subject to prior written consent by the Borrower, which consent shall not be required (A) with respect to an assignment of the Term Loans, if such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (B) with respect to an assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, if such assignment is to another Revolving Lender, and which consent shall not otherwise be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and which shall be deemed to have been given if Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice and a written request for such consent). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 10.1, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 12.3 and 12.4 as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as applicable, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Loan Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Swingline Loans and the Revolving Loan, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof or the performance or observance by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.4(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount and related interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any assignment of any Loan shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to its Loans and/or Commitment), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and if required the written consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent to such assignment, Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (d).

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than (1) (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary thereof or (B) a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.11 and 2.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, including Section 2.11(g) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 2.11(g) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) but, with respect to any particular Participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant, unless the participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Tax Law occurring after the participant became a participant hereunder and (iv) the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than as expressly set forth below in the final proviso to this paragraph). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no participation may be sold to any Loan Party, any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness, any holder of any Indebtedness that is secured by Liens that have been contractually subordinated to the Liens securing the Obligations or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent may be withheld in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Administrative Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Commitments which may be participated to such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person’s and/or its Affiliates’ voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to Lenders. Each Lender granting a participation hereunder shall maintain, as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, a register as to the participations granted and transferred under this Section containing the same information specified in Section 10.1(c) on the Register as if the each Participant were a Lender (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any

obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version); provided further, that no Lender shall enter into any agreement with any Participant that will permit such Participant to influence or control the voting rights of such Lender except with regard to (a) reductions of principal, interest or fees owing to such Participant (other than waivers, reductions or extensions of any mandatory prepayments or default interest or MFN protection or any amendment to any financial ratio (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder), (b) extensions of final scheduled maturity or times for payment of interest or fees owing to such Participant (other than waivers of default interest, defaults or events of default, waivers or extensions of any mandatory prepayments, MFN protection or default interest) and (c) unless otherwise permitted hereunder, releases of Collateral or guarantees requiring the approval of all Lenders.

(f) In addition, any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 10.1 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto (or permit any pledgee or assignee to become a Lender without the terms of this Section 10.1 being complied with).

If Administrative Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Administrative Agent shall incur no liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be contrary to Law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, expose Administrative Agent to Environmental Liabilities or (c) if Administrative Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in the Loan Documents, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

10.4 Administrative Agent and Affiliates.

With respect to its Commitments and Loans hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity (to the extent it holds any Obligations owing to the Lenders or Commitments hereunder).

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.4(a) or as more recently delivered under Section 5.1(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement.

10.7 Successor Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is subject to an Agent-Related Distress Event, either the Requisite Lenders or the Borrower may upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of such removal notice, as applicable, the Requisite Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the delivery of such removal notice, then (a) in the case of a resignation, the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution has combined capital of at least $300,000,000 or (b) in the case of removal, the Borrower may, after consulting with the Requisite Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation or removal was given by the resigning Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders or the Borrower, as the case may be, such resignation or removal shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders or Borrower appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders or Administrative Agent hereunder shall be subject to the approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be required if a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or the effective date of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity, expense reimbursement or other rights in favor of such resigning Administrative Agent shall continue. After any resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.8 Set-Off and Sharing of Payments.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or L/C Issuer exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or L/C Issuers shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender or L/C Issuer to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or L/C Issuer in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (a) any Lender or L/C Issuer may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and L/C Issuers and (b) any Lender or L/C Issuer so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or L/C Issuers may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or L/C Issuer were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest. Each Lender and other L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.9 No Liability; Return of Payment; Defaulting Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a) No Liability for Failure to Fund. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(b) Return of Payments.

(i) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received thereby, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received thereby under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(i) Neither the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Loan or purchase any participation required to be made or purchased by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement nor the status of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender shall relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Loan or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan to be made, or to purchase a participation to be purchased, by such Defaulting Lender, and no Other Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” or any Lender of any other Class as applicable (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders”, “Requisite Revolving Lenders” or the Lenders of any other Class hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document; provided that the foregoing shall not permit, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (i) an increase in the principal amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the reduction of the principal of, rate of interest on (other than reducing or waiving the Default Rate or MFN protection or any amendment to any financial ratio (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder) or any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender or (iii) unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly, the extension of any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Loan of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood and agreed that payments pursuant to Section 2.3 are not “scheduled”).

100

(ii) If any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) shall, at Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Borrower’s (with respect to Borrower, only if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time), as applicable, written request delivered to Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitments (calculated as if the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately); provided that no Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan (after giving effect to such reallocation) to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment.

(iii) Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Lenders or the Borrower. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold as cash collateral monies that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Lender if it were not a Defaulting Lender in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to (A) such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(ii), of all Letter of Credit Obligations until the Termination Date plus (B) such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Defaulting Lender becoming due and payable, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment or Loan on behalf of such Defaulting Lender. With respect to such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund Advances or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute an Advance or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment (without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(ii)). Any amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Advances that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. In the event that Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Defaulting Lender that ceases to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to the definition thereof, Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. Payments made by any Loan Party to Administrative Agent in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall not constitute Defaults or Events of Default solely because the same were not distributed to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.9(c)(iii). The “Excess Funding Amount” of a Defaulting Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(ii)) of all Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(ii), plus (C) any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement.

101

(iv) In the event that any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 10.9(c)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to all Revolving Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation.

(v) A Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the fees described in Section 2.2(d) or Section 2.6 during the time such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(vi) Except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender (upon any Defaulting Lender ceasing to be Defaulting Lender pursuant to the definition thereof) will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Dissemination of Information. Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any written notice of Default or Event of Default received by Administrative Agent from, or delivered by Administrative Agent to, any Loan Party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable solely to Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge that Borrower is required to provide Financial Statements and other financial information to Administrative Agent and Lenders in accordance with Article V and agree that Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to provide the same to Lenders.

(e) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and with Administrative Agent that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the terms, conditions and remedies set forth in the Security Documents.

102

(f) Affected Lenders. If any Lender or L/C Issuer (i) does not consent to a proposed Loan Modification requested by the Borrower, which proposed Loan Modification is approved by at least the Requisite Lenders or the Requisite Revolving Lenders (with respect to the Revolving Loans or Letter of Credits), as applicable, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) demands any payment under Section 2.13 hereof, or (iv) is the cause of the Borrower having to pay any additional amount to such Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, on account of its participants) or any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof (each relevant Lender or L/C Issuer in clauses (i) through (iv) being an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to such Lender, may (A) permanently replace the Affected Lender with one or more substitute Lenders or L/C Issuers (each, a “Replacement Lender”) by requiring such Affected Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to the applicable Replacement Lender or (B) terminating the Commitments (if any) of such Affected Lender and (1) in the case of a Lender, repaying all Obligations due and owing to such Lender as of such termination date and (2) in the case of an L/C Issuer, repaying all Obligations to such L/C Issuer as of such termination date and canceling or backstopping on terms reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer any Letters of Credit issued by it; provided that in the case of any such replacement or repayment pursuant to clause (B) above, such replacement, termination and/or repayment shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders and terminated Lenders after giving effect hereto) to cause the adoption of the proposed Loan Modification. In the event that any Lender or L/C Issuer is an Affected Lender as a result of any of its participants, then the Borrower may at its election exercise its rights under this Section 10.9(f) solely with respect to the portion of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitments held by such participant. Prior to the effective date of any such replacement pursuant to clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Affected Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Affected Lender being repaid, at par, together with any prepayment premium payable pursuant to Section 2.3(g), its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations). If the Affected Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Affected Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Other than as set forth above, the replacement of any Affected Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Affected Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Affected Lender shall remain obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of Loans and, to the extent applicable, purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (based on the Revolving Loan Commitments) of such Letter of Credit.

10.10 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that none of such Lender, Administrative Agent and any of their Affiliates, participants or assignees may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Administrative Agent’s or their Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Order, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection the Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) any comparisons with government lists, (4) any customer notices or (5) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

103

10.11 USA Patriot Act.

(a) Each Lender or participant or assignee of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “foreign shell bank” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Effective Date and (2) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

(b) Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby notify the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Administrative Agent and each Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding the Loan Parties that will allow Administrative Agent or such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and is effective as to Administrative Agent and each Lender.

10.12 Release of Collateral or Guarantors; Subordination of Liens.

(a) Each Lender (including in its capacity as a counterparty to a Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement), and each L/C Issuer irrevocably agrees:

(i) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (A) upon the Termination Date, (B) in the case of any asset, at the time such asset subject to such Lien is disposed or to be disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Loan Party, (C) subject to Section 12.2(b)(v), if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders, (D) in Excluded Assets or (E) if the property subject to any Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its guarantee under this Agreement pursuant to clause (iii) below;

(ii) that upon the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may release or subordinate any Lien (pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.7(a)(ii) (solely with respect to Indebtedness described in Section 7.3(i)) (to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens); and

104

(iii) that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its guarantee under this Agreement if such person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (other than by virtue of becoming a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary and other than any Designated Guarantor) as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Indebtedness under any other Junior Debt.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its guarantee under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.12. In each case as specified in this Section 10.12, the Administrative Agent will promptly upon the request of the Borrower (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its guarantee under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.12 (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry). Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Section 10.12 shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Hedging Agreement or any Cash Management Agreements. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.12 or the release provisions of any Security Document shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

(c) With respect to any asset of a Loan Party covered by a Permitted Encumbrance of the type described in clause (l) of the definition thereof or securing any Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.3(i), each Secured Party hereby consents to the release or subordination by the Administrative Agent of any Lien held by the Administrative Agent in and to such asset in favor of the Liens constituting such Permitted Encumbrance or securing such Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.3(i).

10.13 Credit Bid.

Each Loan Party, each Lender and L/C Issuer each hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, based upon the written instruction of the Requisite Lenders, to bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted (i) by Administrative Agent under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, (ii) under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363, 365 and/or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) conducted by Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise, including a foreclosure sale) in accordance with applicable Law (clauses (i), (ii) an (iii), a “Collateral Sale”); and in connection with any Collateral Sale, Administrative Agent may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by such acquisition vehicle under the direction or control of Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may offset all or any portion of the Obligations against the purchase price of such Collateral.

105

10.14 Secured Parties.

The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent) this Article X and the decisions and actions of Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound (without requiring the separate consent of such Secured Party except as specifically required pursuant to Section 12.2(b)); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.6 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (ii) such Secured Party agrees that that nothing herein or in any Loan Document shall entitle such Secured Party to any independent rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral, it being understood that all rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral shall be exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable Law, (iii) unless otherwise a Lender hereunder, such Secured Party shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” under any of the Loan Documents solely by reason of its sharing in the Liens of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral, (iv) each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation (and in no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary of any such Secured Party or deemed to owe any such Secured Party any duties) and (v) except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

10.15 Withholding Tax.

To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.11, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) imposed on or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability

106

delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.15. The agreements in this Section 10.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this Section 10.15, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and any Swingline Lender.

10.16 Certain Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 10.16(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

107

(c) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case of this clause (y), to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

(e) For purposes of this Section 10.16, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer.

10.17 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

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

108

(b) As used in this Section 10.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

i. a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

ii. a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

iii. a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Each Lender’s ability to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder is governed by Section 10.1.

12.2 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Modification”), shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and by the Requisite Lenders (or, to the extent set forth in Section 12.2(b) below, the Requisite Revolving Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, as applicable); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Fee Letter shall be amended or otherwise modified solely by the parties thereto and no consent of any other Person shall be required in connection therewith.

(b) No Loan Modification shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment (it being understood that the waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment with respect thereto shall not constitute an increase in commitments) (which action shall be deemed to directly and adversely affect only those Lenders whose Commitments are increased); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations of any directly affected Lender (other than (A) the establishment of a Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (B) waivers of any mandatory prepayment, (C) reducing or waiving the MFN protection or default interest (including under Section 2.5(d)) or amending the definition of “Default Rate” or (D) waiving the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the Default Rate or amending any financial ratio (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein) even if the effect of

110

such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder); (iii) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Loan of any directly affected Lender (it being agreed that payments pursuant to Section 2.3 are not “scheduled”); (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees or other then-outstanding amount payable as to any directly affected Lender (other than (A) the establishment of a Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (B) waivers of any mandatory prepayment, (C) reducing or waiving the MFN protection or default interest (including under Section 2.5(d)) or amending the definition of “Default Rate” or (D) waiving the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the Default Rate or amending any financial ratio (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder); (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees of the Obligations provided by the Guarantors taken as a whole or, except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, release (or permit the Loan Parties to sell or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Collateral (which actions described in this clause (v) except as otherwise permitted herein, shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (vii) any changes to Section 2.8(a), 2.8(c) or 2.8(d), (viii) subordinate the Obligations or any Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to any other Indebtedness, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (ix) amend or waive the provisions of Section 10.8 and (x) amend or waive this Section 12.2 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or “Requisite Revolving Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 12.2 (which actions described in this clause (ix) shall be deemed to directly and adversely affect all Lenders (in the case of the definition of “Requisite Lenders”) or all Revolving Lenders (in the case of the definition of “Requisite Revolving Lenders”)). Furthermore, (A) no Loan Modification affecting the rights or duties of Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action and (B) no Loan Modification shall amend or otherwise modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or “Requisite Revolving Lenders” unless in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders or Requisite Revolving Lenders, respectively, (prior to giving effect to such Loan Modification), in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. No Loan Modification shall adversely affect the payment priority of the Swingline Lender or an L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents without the prior written concurrence of such Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Requisite Revolving Lenders, amend, waive or modify the terms and provisions of Section 3.2, Section 7.10 (and related definitions as used in such Section, but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement) and Section 9.1(b) (to the extent such Section 9.1(b) addresses a failure to perform under Section 7.10) (which amendment, waiver or modification shall not require the consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person other than the Borrower). .

111

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, (x) any Loan Modification to cure any ambiguity, obvious error, omission, defect or inconsistency in any Loan Document shall only require the consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower and (y) solely with the consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders and the Borrower (but without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Requisite Lenders or any other Lender), any such agreement may waive, amend or modify any condition precedent to the borrowing of Revolving Loans or the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Each Loan Modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No Loan Modification shall be required for Administrative Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document or to release Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with the Loan Documents. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Loan Party or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any Loan Modification effected in accordance with this Section 12.2 shall be binding upon each current and future Lender.

(d) 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 holding a Class of Loans or a Class of Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Class of Loans or Class of Commitments with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in any such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Loans and/or commitments and, subject to the terms hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate, interest rate floors, premiums, original issue discounts and/or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans) (each, an “Extension”; and each group of Loans or commitments as so extended, as well as the original Loans and the original commitments not so extended, being a separate “tranche” of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted and any Extended Revolving Loan Commitment shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) except as to interest rates, interest rate floors, premiums, original issue discounts, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by such extending Term Loan Lenders), the Term Loans of any Term Loan Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans owed to it extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have substantially similar terms as the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, or otherwise not materially less favorable to the Lenders with respect to the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, taken as a whole (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the maturity date of the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer and such other terms and conditions that constitute then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

112

(iii) except as to interest rates, interest rate floors, premiums, original issue discounts, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by such extending Revolving Lenders), the commitments and Loans of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such commitments and Loans extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Loan Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”) shall have substantially similar terms as the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments subject to such Extension Offer, or otherwise not materially less favorable to the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments subject to such Extension Offer, taken as a whole (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the maturity date of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments subject to such Extension Offer and such other terms and conditions that constitute then-current market terms for the applicable type of Indebtedness or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date of the Term Loans subject to such an Extension Offer and (B) no Extended Revolving Loan Commitments or Extended Revolving Loans shall have a final maturity date earlier than (or require commitment reductions prior to) the latest maturity date of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments subject to such an Extension Offer;

(v) [Reserved];

(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) with non-extended tranches of the Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer; and

(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of the Loans or commitments (calculated on the outstanding principal amount thereof), as the case may be, in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or commitments offered to be extended (not to exceed the maximum principal amount set forth in the respective Extension Offer) by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

113

With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition 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 the Loans or commitments, as the case may be, be tendered. The Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loan Commitment and Extended Revolving Loans on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

No consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Loans or commitments, as the case may be (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loan Commitment and Extended Revolving Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower (on behalf of all Loan Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Loans and/or commitments so extended (including amending scheduled amortization payments to give effect to such new or sub tranches (it being understood that the amount of any amortization payment payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof)) and such technical amendments as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the applicable Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Administrative Agent is hereby directed by the Lenders to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the later of the then latest maturity date of the Loans and commitments, so that such maturity date referenced therein is extended to the latest maturity date of the Loans and commitments. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of each such amendment.

In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the Facilities after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 12.2(d). This Section 12.2(d) shall supersede any provisions of this Section 12.2 to the contrary.

114

12.3 Fees and Expenses.

The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) after receipt of reasonably detailed documentation therefor, (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (limited, in the case of legal costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary and with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), a single local counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction) in connection with due diligence performed in connection with the arrangement of the credit facilities provided for herein, the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents (to the extent not paid on the Effective Date), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (limited, in the case of legal costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel and, if reasonably necessary and with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction) in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (limited, in the case of legal costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel to all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary and with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), a single local counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including rights under this Section; provided, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for any third party advisor or consultants (in addition to those set forth in the immediately preceding clause (iv)), except following an Event of Default with respect to which the Requisite Lenders have accelerated the Loans or are pursing remedies, in which case the Borrower shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of one additional advisor to the extent the Borrower has provided its prior written consent (in its sole discretion).

12.4 Indemnity.

(a) Without duplication of and subject to the limitations set forth under the expense reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 12.3, each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and each such Person’s respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, partners, employees, advisors, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all losses (other than lost profits), claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (but limited, in the case of legal costs and expenses, to one counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnified Persons taken as a whole in each relevant material jurisdiction and, solely in the case of a reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to the affected Indemnified Persons similarly situated taken as a whole) to which any such Indemnified Person is subject arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (any of the foregoing, an “Action”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such Action is brought by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, creditors or any other Person (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any

115

Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Indemnified Persons, (ii) to the extent arising from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (in the case of each of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), or (iii) to the extent arising from any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons (other than any claims against an Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Indemnified Person or any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, any Related Indemnified Person or such other party hereto, as applicable, and (ii) neither (x) any Indemnified Person or any of its Related Indemnified Persons, nor (y) the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (with respect to the Borrower in the case of this clause (y), other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Person to a third party) in connection with the Loan Documents (including the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Loan Documents; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s (or its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’) indemnification obligations hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Person is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Action, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (which approval shall not be unreasonable) from all liability with respect to claims that are the subject matter of such Action, (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability of such Indemnified Person and (iii) contains customary confidentiality provisions with respect to the terms of such settlement.

116

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person (and its Related Indemnified Persons) shall be obligated to refund and/or return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrower or on the Borrower’s behalf under this paragraph to such Indemnified Person (or its Related Indemnified Persons) for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent such Indemnified Person (or its Related Indemnified Persons) is not entitled (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 12.4 shall be payable within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the applicable Indemnified Person may agree to) following demand therefor and presentment of a reasonably-detailed invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail, together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower.

(f) This Section 12.4 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

12.5 No Waiver.

Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Administrative Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver of an Event of Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, none of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by any Loan Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Administrative Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Requisite Lenders, and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.

12.6 Remedies.

Administrative Agent’s, Swingline Lender’s, each L/C Issuer’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have under any other agreement, including the other Loan Documents, by operation of Law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guaranty hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

12.7 Severability.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

117

12.8 Conflict of Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

12.9 GOVERNING LAW.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the E-System in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including foreign, United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the E-System and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower or their securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or state securities Laws.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE E-SYSTEM.

12.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.

123

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives relating to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective businesses or operations, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of such Persons. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof may, with the Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), publicize their services and roles hereunder, including by issuing press releases, tombstones listing the amount, type and Effective Date of the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, advertising and other promotional materials (whether by means of electronic transmission, posting to a website or other internet application, print media or otherwise); provided that each such Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon mutually satisfactory text therefor.

ARTICLE XIII
GUARANTY

13.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.2, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that Guaranteed Obligations consisting of obligations of any Loan Party arising under any secured Hedge Agreement shall exclude all Excluded Rate Contract Obligations.

13.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 13.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 13.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 13.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 13.2.

128

13.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 13.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors shall upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Secured Parties as aforesaid.

13.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

129

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or

130

unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 13.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

131

13.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Termination Date, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder (other than rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations as contemplated by Section 13.2), in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Termination Date, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 13.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

13.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, provided that any such Indebtedness may be collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor at any time no Event of Default exists. Any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

132

13.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, this Guaranty shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the Termination Date. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

13.9 Authority of Guarantors or the Borrower. It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

13.10 Financial Condition of the Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Secured Party.

13.11 Bankruptcy, Etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors shall permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

133

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

13.12 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or disposition.

13.13 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 13.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 13.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 13.13 constitute, and this Section 13.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
