(c) The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(d) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

2.01. The Initial Term Loan Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan (each, an “Initial Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Initial Term Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Closing Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type and Class, and (iv) shall be made by each such Lender in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Initial Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Closing Date. Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans under a respective Class shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than six Borrowings of LIBOR Loans in the aggregate for all Classes of Term Loans (or such greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrative Agent).

2.03. Notice of Borrowing. (a) When the Borrower desires to incur Term Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (i) at least three Business Days’ prior notice thereof in the case of LIBOR Loans and (ii) at least one Business Day’s prior notice thereof in the case of Base Rate Loans; provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on such day. Such notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (and specifying the Class thereof) to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (B) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) whether the Term Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely and act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of the Borrowing or prepayment of Term Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account as the Borrower may specify in writing prior to the Borrowing Date, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Borrowing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall repay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day. The

Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Term Loans hereunder.

2.05. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

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

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

2.06. Conversions/Continuations. The Borrower shall have the option to convert (or continue), on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Term Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Term Loan (or to continue all or a portion of any LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan); provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans (or continued as LIBOR Loans with a new Interest Period) only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Term Loans being converted (or continued) and no such partial

conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (b) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the conversion, and (c) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans (or continuations of LIBOR Loans), three Business Days’ prior notice and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Term Loans to be so converted (or continued), the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into (or continued as) LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Term Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their applicable Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Term Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loans hereunder.

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

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

(c) Overdue amounts of principal and interest on any Term Loan shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws), to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Term Loan, in the case of principal, and, in the case of interest, the rate then borne by the applicable Term Loan to which such interest relates. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

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

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, continuation as or conversion into any LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period, (y) to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with Term Loans under the relevant Class, a twelve month period or (z) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion and each Lender with Term Loans under the relevant Class, such other period not to exceed one-month; provided that (in each case):

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

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

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

(d) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Class of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans.

If by 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of “LIBO Rate”; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of any change since the Closing Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (1) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate, or (2) any change subjecting any Recipient to any Taxes (except for Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any request from a Governmental Authority (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency, other than with respect to a tax matter not otherwise provided for in this Section 2.10, occurring after the Closing Date or since the date such Person becomes a Lender, if later, which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market generally;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall not be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving

rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, and stating that such Lender is charging such costs to its borrowers generally pursuant to its internal policies, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as reasonably possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

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

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and

directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10).

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes.

2.11. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing or in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn or rescinded pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Term Loans affected by such event or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or which results in the Borrower being required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 4.04 or (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed amendment,

change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which expressly requires the consent of such Lender and which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 12.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall (other than in the case of an existing Lender or Lender Affiliate) be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Term Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender;

(ii) the replacement may not be by an Affiliated Lender, other than an Affiliated Sponsor Lender in accordance with the requirements of, and subject to the limitations contained in, Sections 2.15(a)(vii) and (d); and

(iii) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 and, to the extent such Replaced Lender is being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.13 to effect, or substantially concurrently with, a Repricing Transaction, the prepayment premium set forth in Section 4.01(c) that would have otherwise been payable to such Replaced Lender if such Replaced Lender had been repaid pursuant to such Repricing Transaction) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13 and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is hereby authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 12.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) immediately above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases to the then-existing Term Loans or one or more additional Classes of Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”); provided that (i) except as otherwise agreed by the lenders providing the relevant Incremental Term Loans in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition (which shall be subject to Section 2.14(b)), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans and be continuing or result therefrom, (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in writing in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment as provided below in this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (iii) each increase in then-existing Term Loans or additional Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or the Administrative Agent otherwise consents) and (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, (x) compliance with the requirements of preceding clause (i), the provisos of the second succeeding sentence, and of Section 6 to the extent required by the next succeeding paragraph, and (y) the “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”, including the ratio set forth therein, if applicable, at the time of incurrence (together with calculations thereof in reasonable detail). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans incurred at any time exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount as of such time. The Incremental Term Loans shall be, except as provided in immediately succeeding clause (ii) below, secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on an equal and ratable basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranty and shall be treated substantially the same as the existing Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided, however, that (i) the interest rate applicable to a Class of Incremental Term Loans may differ from that applicable to the Initial Term Loans or any other Class of Incremental Term Loans, provided, however, if the “effective yield” applicable to a given Class of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to take account of any then applicable interest rate margin, interest rate benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such loans and (y) four years) payable to all Lenders providing such Class of Incremental Term Loans but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Class of Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Class of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the “effective yield” of any Initial Term Loans or any other Class of Incremental Term Loans (unless the terms of such Class provide that such Class is not subject to this provision) (determined on the same basis as provided above, with the comparative determination to be made in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice) by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess over 0.50% being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such Initial Term Loans or such other Class of

Incremental Term Loans subject to a Yield Differential shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential (including, as provided in the following proviso, the LIBO Rate or Base Rate floor) effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Incremental Term Loans and the Initial Term Loans or such other Class of Incremental Term Loans (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under the Initial Term Loans or any other Class of Incremental Term Loans in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity) and (y) if the Incremental Term Loans include a LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor greater than the LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the then-existing Initial Term Loans or any other then-existing Class of Incremental Term Loans, (I) such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest margin under the then-existing Initial Term Loans or any other then-existing Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be required and (II) to the extent an increase in the LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor in the then-existing Initial Term Loans or any other then-existing Class of Incremental Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, the LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Initial Term Loans or any other then-existing Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be increased by such increased amount, (ii) a given Class of Incremental Term Loans may rank junior in right of security with other Term Loans or be unsecured, in which case such Incremental Term Loans will be extended pursuant to a separate credit agreement and the provisions of immediately preceding clause (i) shall not apply; (iii) the final stated maturity date for a given Class of Incremental Term Loans may be on or later (but not sooner) than, the Initial Maturity Date, (iv) the amortization requirements for a given Class of Incremental Term Loans may differ, so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity applicable to the then outstanding Loans (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Loans), (v) except as otherwise required or as permitted in clauses (i) through (iv) above, the other terms of a given Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders and/or Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and shall, at all times prior to the Latest Maturity Date then in effect at the time of such incurrence, be substantially consistent with the terms of the Loans; provided that such terms may differ if reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that any such terms that are not substantially consistent with the then-existing Loans shall be no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the relevant Lenders under such Incremental Term Loans than those applicable to the then-existing Loans (taken as a whole) and (vi) the proceeds of Incremental Term Loans may be utilized by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (or any existing Lender Affiliate) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being

called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Additional Lender shall not be an Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Sponsor Lenders in accordance with the requirements of, and subject to the limitations contained in, Sections 2.15(a)(vii) and (d)). Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent, and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, any Mortgage modifications and related date-down endorsements to the Mortgage Policies) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The occurrence of the effective date of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on such date of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (it being understood that all references to “the Borrowing Date” or similar language in such Section 6 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans, unless it so agrees.

(b) Limited Condition Acquisitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 or in any other provision of the Loan Document, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the applicable Incremental Term Loans, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are intended to fund a Permitted Acquisition substantially concurrently with the receipt thereof (a “Limited Condition Acquisition”), the conditions precedent to Borrower’s right to request such Incremental Facility for a Limited Condition Acquisition shall be limited to the following: (a) on the date of the signing of the definitive acquisition agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (y) each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except (I) with respect to representations and warranties expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (II) if any such representation or warranty contains any materiality qualifier, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects); and (b) at the date of closing of such Limited Condition Acquisition and the funding of the applicable Incremental Facility, (A) no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to funding such Incremental Facility shall be the Specified Representations and the representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement relating to such Permitted Acquisition as are material to the interests of the Lenders but only to the extent that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates have the right to terminate its or their obligations under such purchase agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in such purchase agreement.

2.15. Term Loan Repurchases. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, (x) each of Holdings, the Borrower, the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates (including any of the Subsidiaries of Holdings or the Borrower, collectively, the “Affiliated Lenders” and each an “Affiliated Lender”) may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, a “Dutch Auction Purchase Offer”), each such Dutch Auction Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by an Affiliate of Jefferies Finance or another investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), and (y) each of the Sponsor or its Affiliates (excluding Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiaries of Holdings or the Borrower, collectively, the “Affiliated Sponsor Lenders” and each an “Affiliated Sponsor Lender” and, together with any Affiliated Lenders, the “Affiliated Persons”) may from time to time purchase Term Loans on the open market (each, an “Open Market Purchase Offer” and together with a Dutch Auction Purchase Offer, the “Purchase Offers”), so long as in each case the following conditions (to the extent applicable) are satisfied:

(i) each Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 and the Auction Procedures;

(ii) in the case of any Dutch Auction Purchase Offer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of the applicable Auction Notice;

(iii) each Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall be open and offered to all Lenders (or all Lenders of a particular Class) on a pro rata basis;

(iv) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans that the Affiliated Persons offer to purchase in any such Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(v) the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not be permitted to be funded with the proceeds of contemporaneous borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement;

(vi) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans purchased by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to any Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall automatically be cancelled and retired by Holdings, the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary, as applicable, on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Affiliated Sponsor Lenders shall not be permitted to hold an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans that represents more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans at any time;

(viii) each Affiliated Person that is purchasing loans in connection with a Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall represent and warrant (or shall disclose that it cannot represent and warrant) as of the date of such purchase that such Affiliated Person does not have any Borrower Restricted Information that (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the assigning Lender(s) (other than because such Lender does not wish to, or has elected not to, receive such Borrower Restricted Information) prior to such time and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans in such Purchase Offer; and

(ix) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through a Dutch Auction Purchase Offer, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (v) through (vii) in each case to the extent applicable.

(b) The relevant Affiliated Person must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above at the scheduled time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. Such Affiliated Person shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above at the scheduled time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such termination shall not, in and of itself, result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.15, (x) the applicable Affiliated Person shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents or assignment documents relating to such Purchase Offer), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by such Affiliated Person and any cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments under Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 hereof.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.15 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 12.04 and Section 12.06 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.15 or any forgiveness or cancellation of Term Loans provided for in clause (b) above. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 11 and Section 12.02 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, Holdings, the Borrower and each Affiliated Sponsor Lender becoming a Lender hereby agree that (i) each Affiliated Sponsor Lender’s voting rights as a Lender in respect of the Credit Documents are limited as, and to the extent, set forth herein (including in the definition of “Required Lenders” appearing in Section 1.01); provided that no amendment,

modification, waiver or consent in respect of Sections 10.03 or 12.06, to the extent that such amendment, modification, waiver or consent disproportionately and adversely affects such Affiliated Sponsor Lender, shall be effective without the consent of such Affiliated Sponsor Lender (and no Affiliated Sponsor Lender shall be bound to any amendment or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender, or each affected Lender, pursuant to Section 12.12 without its consent), (ii) each Affiliated Sponsor Lender waives its right in its capacity as a Lender to receive information (other than administrative information such as notifications under this Section 2) not prepared by (or on behalf of) Holdings or the Borrower from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender under or in connection with the Credit Documents otherwise delivered or required to be delivered to each Lender (and not delivered to Holdings or the Borrower) and attend any meeting or conference call with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in respect of the Credit Documents but in which neither Holdings nor the Borrower participates and to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or challenge any related attorney client privilege, (iii) at the time of each assignment to an assignee that is an Affiliated Sponsor Lender, such assignee shall identify itself as an Affiliate Lender by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof in writing, (iv) no Affiliated Sponsor Lender shall make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Credit Documents (except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or failure to deliver distributions (including principal and interest) to an Affiliated Sponsor Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or breach of provisions specifically impacting such Affiliated Sponsor Lender in its capacity as such under the Credit Documents) and (v) no Affiliated Sponsor Lender shall have any right to vote the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Sponsor Lender in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or any other proceeding of the nature described in Section 10.01(e).

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrower Purchasing Parties”) may from time to time purchase Term Loans on the open market (each, a “Borrower Party Purchase Offer”), so long as in each case the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such purchase or would result therefrom;

(ii) the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15(e) shall not be permitted to be funded with the proceeds of contemporaneous borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans purchased by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant to such Borrower Party Purchase Offer shall automatically be cancelled and retired by Holdings, the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary, as applicable, on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); and

(iv) each Borrower Purchasing Party that is purchasing loans in connection with a Borrower Party Purchase Offer shall represent and warrant (or shall disclose that it cannot represent and warrant) as of the date of such purchase that such

Affiliated Person does not have any Borrower Restricted Information that (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the assigning Lender(s) (other than because such Lender does not wish to, or has elected not to, receive such Borrower Restricted Information) prior to such time and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans in such Purchase Offer.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date of the same Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans with a like Maturity Date of the same Class, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans (in each case not so extended), thereafter being separate Classes; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date as in effect at the time of the Extension Offer), (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date hereunder as in effect at the time of the Extension Offer and the scheduled repayments applicable to the respective Extended Term Loans shall not, for periods prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Class in respect of the Extension Offer is being made, be greater than those which would have applied in the absence of such Extension, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans extended thereby that do not accept such Extension Offer (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer

shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (ix) the Minimum Extended Class Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to each Extension consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extension shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount; provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum aggregate principal amount (to be specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and waivable by the Borrower in its sole discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and (y) each Class of Extended Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (the “Minimum Extended Class Amount”) unless waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4 and 12.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.

(c) Each Extension shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Term Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.16 (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with such Extension Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5 and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, any Mortgage modifications and related date-down endorsements to the Mortgage Policies) as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Credit Documents. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify Scheduled Repayments as provided in Section 4.02(a), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 to reflect the existence of new Classes or sub-Classes of Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other technical amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or

appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, rendering timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

(e) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.06 or 12.12 to the contrary.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that constitutes Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.17 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $20,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred to refinance all outstanding Term Loans with respect to a Class).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17.

3.01. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may have been, or are hereafter, agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

3.02. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate permanently in its entirety on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the Initial Term Loans on such date).

4.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Class of the Term Loans, without premium or penalty (except as provided below in Section 4.01(c) and subject to Section 2.11), in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) at the Notice Office (A) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans and (B) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay LIBOR Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Term Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of a Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that if any partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) in respect of any Class of Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans; and (iv) each prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments thereof as directed by the Borrower or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof.

(b) In the event of refusal by a Lender to consent to proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower shall have

the right, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to repay all Term Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) and terminate all Commitments of such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of Section 12.12(b), so long as the consents, if any, required by Section 12.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained. Each prepayment of Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based on the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(c) If, prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, (x) the Borrower makes any prepayment of Term Loans with the proceeds of any debt financing referred to in clause (x) of the definition of “Repricing Transaction” (other than ABL Loans), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender (including any Lender that is replaced for failing to consent to such amendment), (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may, subject to Section 2.11, rescind any notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or (b) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Class, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

4.02. Mandatory Repayments. (a) (i). In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower ending on the Saturday closest to the date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of Initial Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment, as the same may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 4.02(f), or pursuant to following clause (iii), or (y) increased, as provided in following clause (iv) a “Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment”):

(ii) Each additional Class of Term Loans created after the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall have such scheduled repayments applicable thereto (each such repayment, as same may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 4.01(a), 4.02(b) or 4.02(f), or pursuant to the following clause (iii), or (y) increased as provided in following clause (iv), a “Scheduled Additional Class Repayment” and, together with the Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayments, the “Scheduled Repayments”), payable on such date (each a “Scheduled Additional Class Repayment Date” and, together with the Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Dates, the “Scheduled Repayment Date”) as shall be set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendments, Extension Amendments and/or Refinancing Amendments, as applicable.

(iii) At the time of any Extension with respect to a given Class of Term Loans outstanding hereunder, the Scheduled Repayments applicable to the Class subject to the Extension shall be proportionately reduced by the percentage of the respective Class of Term Loans which actually extends pursuant to such Extension. The respective Extended Term Loans resulting from such Extension shall have Scheduled Repayments applicable thereto as determined in accordance with Section 2.16.

(iv) If any Class of Term Loans is increased as a result of the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans which will be added to such Class, the Scheduled Repayments applicable to such Class shall be proportionately increased at the time of the Extension of such Incremental Term Loans.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, within three Business Days after each date on or after the Closing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (x) not permitted to

be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 or (y) that is intended to constitute Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Class of Term Loans, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g).

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Closing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g); provided, however, that such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used by the Borrower and/or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries to purchase assets (including Equity Interests of another Person (x) that is not already a Subsidiary or (y) which represent the acquisition of minority interests in such Person not theretofore owned by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding working capital except to the extent tangential to an acquisition or investment) used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.09 within the Relevant Reinvestment Period; provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 4.02(c) are not so reinvested within such Relevant Reinvestment Period, such remaining portion shall be applied within three Business Days of the last day of such Relevant Reinvestment Period as otherwise provided above in this Section 4.02(c) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Closing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Insurance Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $3,000,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g); provided, however, that such Net Insurance Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Insurance Proceeds shall be used to replace, restore or otherwise acquire properties or assets (including Equity Interests of another Person (x) that is not already a Subsidiary or (y) which represent the acquisition of minority interests in such Person not theretofore owned by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding working capital) used or to be used in the business within the Relevant Reinvestment Period; provided; further, that if all or any portion of such Net Insurance Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within the Relevant Reinvestment Period, such remaining portion shall be applied within three Business Days of the end the last day of such Relevant Reinvestment Period as provided above in this Section 4.02(d) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the

related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g); provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of such Excess Cash Payment Date and the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Payment Period does not exceed (x) 2.75:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow or (y) 2.25:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 0% of such Excess Cash Flow; provided, further, that any amount required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.02(e) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount (i) of any voluntary prepayments of (x) the Term Loans and (y) to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement (or any other revolving credit facility outstanding pursuant to Section 9.04(j)), the ABL Loans (or advances under any other revolving credit facility outstanding pursuant to Section 9.04(j)) (to the extent permitted by the terms of the Credit Documents) and (ii) paid in cash by the Borrower to repurchase Term Loans, to the extent such repurchase was made pursuant to a Dutch Auction Purchase Offer to all Lenders to repurchase Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.15, in each case made during the applicable Fiscal Year, in each case except to the extent made with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness.

(f) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02 (b), (c), (d) and (e) in accordance with this Section 4.02(f) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans; provided, however, if as part of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, any ABL Facility Priority Collateral is being sold or has been damaged or taken (as the case may be), then the amount of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale or the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event (as the case may be) that is attributable to such ABL Facility Priority Collateral shall first be applied to the outstanding ABL Loans (or any Permitted Refinancing in respect thereof outstanding pursuant to Section 9.04(j)) to the extent required by the ABL Credit Agreement (or any Permitted Refinancing in respect thereof outstanding pursuant to Section 9.04(j)) before any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is applied as provided above in this Section 4.02(f) without regard to this proviso (and any such application to outstanding ABL Loans (or any Permitted Refinancing in respect thereof outstanding pursuant to Section 9.04(j)) shall reduce the mandatory repayment required hereunder dollar-for-dollar); provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Indebtedness has been incurred that is secured by Liens subject to a Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, then any such prepayments referenced in clauses (c), (d) and (e) above may, at the election of the Borrower, be allocated ratably (based on the relative outstanding principal amounts thereof) to each Class of Term Loans and such Indebtedness. The amount of each principal repayment of Term Loans made as required by this Section 4.02(f) shall be applied ratably (based on the relative outstanding principal amounts thereof) to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding (provided that (x) any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt to be refinanced in whole or in part and (y) any Class of Term Loans created after the Closing Date may, in the agreements creating such Class, elect to receive less than its pro rata share of any amount (except as described in preceding clause (x)) to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.02(f), in which case such amount shall be applied (as otherwise required above) to the other then outstanding Classes of Term Loans) and shall reduce the scheduled installments of principal of the respective Class occurring on or after the date of such prepayment in direct order of maturity.

(g) With respect to each repayment of Term Loans of a given Class required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans of such Class which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made; provided that: (i) repayments of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.11; (ii) if any repayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) except for repayments made pursuant to Section 2.15, each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders holding such Term Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, apply such repayment, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, if there are no Base Rate Loans outstanding at such time, to LIBOR Loans (applied first to such Borrowings as would result in the least amount owed by the Borrower under Section 2.11).

(h) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, all then outstanding Term Loans of a respective Class shall be repaid by the Borrower in full on the Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02, (A) to the extent that repatriation to the United States of any portion of Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary or any Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds, as applicable, of a Foreign Subsidiary is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including local laws with respect to financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on up-streaming of cash intra-group and fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Foreign Subsidiaries) or (y) restricted by applicable material constituent documents (so long as such restrictions were not implemented for the purpose of avoiding such mandatory repayment requirements), the amount of such portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.02 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or applicable constituent documents will not permit repatriation to the United States, and, if within one year following the date on which the respective repayment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any portion of such affected amount of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is permissible under the applicable local law or applicable material constituent documents (even if such cash is not actually repatriated at such time), an amount equal to such amount will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days or such longer time period as the Administrative Agent may agree) applied (net of costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries arising exclusively as a result of compliance with this provision) by the Borrower to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith, and can so demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, that repatriation of any portion of Excess Cash Flow would incur a tax liability, including a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Code, (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit that is anticipated in connection with such repatriation) the amount of such portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or

Net Insurance Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; (ii) the non-application of any portion of Excess Cash Flow, Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds amount pursuant to this Section 4.02(i) shall not constitute an Event of Default (and such amounts shall be available for the working capital purposes of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, subject to the repayment provisions in this Section 4.02(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (x) the Borrower shall be required to first use all Excess Cash Flow (other than the amounts thereof affected as described in preceding clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 4.02(i)) in order to make the full amount of the mandatory repayment required to be made on the relevant Excess Cash Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.02(e) before the preceding provisions of this Section 4.02(i) shall apply, and (y) nothing in this Section 4.02(i) shall require the Borrower to cause any amounts to be repatriated to the United States (whether or not such amounts are used in or excluded from the determination of the amount of any mandatory repayments hereunder).

4.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

4.04. Net Payments. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit 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 from 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 Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Tax.

(c) The Credit Parties shall, without duplication of Section 4.04(a) or (b) above, 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from 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.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.04, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if (x) a change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form or certificate inapplicable or would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and (y) in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) 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), duly completed and executed originals 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 entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably 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), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) 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 Credit Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 Credit Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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;

(ii) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to such Foreign Lender;

(iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-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 one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender shall provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

(E) each Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement made by the Borrower to such Agent under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located shall deliver to the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable), any such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding tax. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

(or, in the case of an Administrative Agent, the Borrower) (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax and such other documentation as will enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not such Agent is subject to United States federal backup withholding tax or information reporting requirements.

Each Lender and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender shall promptly (x) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (y) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(g) 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 4.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by 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 clause (g) (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 clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) 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 clause (g) 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.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.04 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 Credit Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the first sentence of this Section 10.02 do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

10.03. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) provided for in Section 10.01 (or after the Term Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as provided in Section 10.01), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including expenses of counsel payable under Section 12.01) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their respective capacities as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest and other than any amounts due under Term Secured Hedging Agreements) payable to the Secured Creditors (including expenses of counsel payable under Section 12.01 and amounts payable under Section 2.10), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in cash in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

10.04. Cure Right. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the covenant under Section 9.11, until the expiration of the tenth Business Day subsequent to the date financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) (the “Anticipated Cure Deadline”), in respect of the period ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, the Borrower shall have the right to request Holdings to issue Qualified Preferred Stock or obtain a contribution to its common equity, in each case, for cash and to be contributed to the equity capital of the Borrower as common equity (the “Cure Right”), in each case following the end of such Fiscal Quarter and on or prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline, in each case in an

aggregate amount not to exceed the amount necessary to cure the relevant failure to comply with such covenant may, at the election of the Borrower be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with such covenant, and upon the earlier of (x) the delivery by the Borrower of written notice to the Administrative Agent that it intends to exercise the Cure Right hereunder (it being understood that to the extent such notice is provided in advance of delivery of a compliance certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such net cash proceeds that are received as the Cure Amount may be lower than specified in such notice to the extent that the amount necessary to cure such failure to comply with the requirements of the covenant under Section 9.11 is less than the full amount of any originally designated amount) and (y) receipt by the Borrower of such cash proceeds (the “Cure Amount”), such covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) solely for purpose of determining the existence of a failure to comply with the requirements of the covenant under Section 9.11, Consolidated EBITDA for the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower for which such certificate is required to be delivered shall be increased by an amount equal to the Cure Amount, and such increase shall be effective for all periods that include the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement; provided that (1) the receipt by the Borrower of the Cure Amount pursuant to the Cure Right shall be deemed to have no other effect whatsoever under this Agreement (including determining the availability or amount of any covenant baskets or carve-outs) and (2) no Cure Amount shall reduce Indebtedness (whether on a Pro Forma Basis or otherwise and whether by netting (including with respect to the calculation of Consolidated Indebtedness or otherwise) for any period in which the Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of calculating the financial covenant set forth in Section 9.11; provided, further, that the proceeds of any Cure Amount may be used, at the Borrower’s option, to prepay Term Loans (it being understood and agreed that such prepayments shall not be given effect in determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 9.11 for any period in which the Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA); and

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (but not giving effect to any payment of Indebtedness made with such Cure Amount when calculating compliance with Section 9.11 at the end of such (but no other) Fiscal Quarter), the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant under Section 9.11 at the end of such Fiscal Quarter, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenant under Section 9.11 as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Default or Event of Default of the covenant under Section 9.11 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purpose under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that if the Cure Amount is not received by the Borrower prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each consecutive four-fiscal-quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which the Cure

Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times during the term of this Agreement, (iii) the Cure Amount shall not exceed the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the covenant under Section 9.11; and (iv) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Secured Creditor shall exercise any remedy under the Credit Documents or applicable law on the basis of an Event of Default caused by the failure to comply with Section 9.11 until after the Borrower’s ability to cure has lapsed and the Borrower has not exercised the Cure Right.

11.01. Appointment. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Jefferies Finance as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Section 11 and Section 12.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include Jefferies Finance in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents and Jefferies Finance hereby accepts such designation and appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, sub-agents, employees or affiliates. Any sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors or affiliates. The exculpatory and indemnification provisions contained in this Section 11 shall apply to the Administrative Agent and any sub-agent and to their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, advisors and affiliates, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Term Loans, as well as activities as Agent or sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

(b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable legal requirement a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent may act, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, as the collateral agent for the Lenders.

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

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book-Running Managers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book-Running Managers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 11.06 and 12.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book-Running Managers, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Term Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed that certain Confidential Information Memorandum, dated April 2015, and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with

respect thereto). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Credit Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Sections 5 and 6 or elsewhere in any Credit Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Credit Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and funding its Term Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

11.04. Certain Rights of the Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 12.12) with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be); and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) no Agent (nor any of their officers, partners, directors, employees or agents) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Credit Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.12); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to

liability, if the Agent is not indemnified to its satisfactory, or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code and any and all other insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, reorganization, or similar Legal Requirements of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under the Bankruptcy Code, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect

11.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made or otherwise authenticated by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts

11.06. Indemnification. To the extent each Agent, and each of the officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, legal counsel (including local, foreign and in-house counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers, engineers or other advisors, agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons of each of the foregoing and each other person designated, nominated or otherwise mandated by or assisting such Agent pursuant to Section 11.01 or any comparable provision of any Credit Document (collectively, the “Related Persons”), is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower (without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (or such Related Persons) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Term Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date) (in any event, determined as if (x) there were no Defaulting Lenders and (y) all Affiliated Lenders were Lenders that were not Affiliated Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature (whether before or after the payment of the Term Loans) which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or such Related Person) in

performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the such Agent’s (or such Related Person’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

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

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

11.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all of its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by notifying the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(a) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(c) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by such 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(d) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 11 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) and Sections 12.01, 12.08 and 12.23 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates for each of their actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

(e) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.

11.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Secured Creditor hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into the Guaranty, the Security Documents and the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and Other Intercreditor Agreements for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Credit Party of any Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt or any Permitted Junior Priority Refinancing Debt, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Borrower or relevant Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Credit Documents)); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or

any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to release or subordinate, as applicable, any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations and other than obligations in respect of any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Term Secured Hedging Agreements, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and the Qualified Credit Parties) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 9.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 12.12), (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents, in the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and Other Intercreditor Agreements or the last sentence of each of Sections 9.01 (so long as the ABL Agent has released or concurrently releases its Lien on such Collateral) and 9.02, (v) constituting property (x) owned by any Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted to be designated as such pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (y) following or concurrently with a sale or other disposition (to Persons other than Holdings and the Qualified Credit Parties) of a Subsidiary of Holdings in compliance with Section 9.02, constituting property owned by such Subsidiary or (vi) constituting property subject to (or which will become subject to promptly following such release) Liens pursuant to Section 9.01(f) or (m), and the Collateral Agent shall promptly, at the written request of the Borrower, release or subordinate, as applicable, the Collateral Agent’s Liens on such property. The Lenders hereby further authorize the Administrative Agent to release from its Guaranty any Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted to be designated as such pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any of the ABL Loan Documents), or any Subsidiary of Holdings upon the sale or other disposition thereof in its entirety (to Persons other than Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in compliance with Section 9.02 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 12.12) have otherwise consented, and the Administrative Agent shall, at the written request of the Borrower, release such Unrestricted Subsidiary or such Subsidiary of Holdings from its Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations and obligations in respect of any Term

Secured Hedging Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Term Secured Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Term Secured Hedging Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 11.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(e) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Creditor hereby agree that (i) no Secured Creditor other than the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Credit Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code,)

may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Creditors (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

11.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

11.12. Withholding. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax applicable to such payment. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any other reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the IRS applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses), unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Credit Party or the relevant Lender.

11.13 Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any the Bankruptcy Code, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the

Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (A) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Proskauer Rose LLP and of a single separate firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, (B) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and (C) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent and counsel for the Lenders); provided that reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel shall

be limited to (x) one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, local or specialist counsel and (y) one additional counsel for the Lenders taken as a whole (unless there is a conflict of interest that requires separate representation for any Lender, in which case those Lenders similarly affected shall, as a whole, be entitled to one separate counsel) and, to the extent reasonably necessary, local or specialist counsel; provided, further, that fees with respect to any financial advisor or similar consultant shall be limited to one such financial advisor or consultant (for the Agents and the Lenders taken as a whole); and

(ii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, Affiliates, trustees and investment advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements, but limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnified Persons and, if necessary, of a single separate firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnified Persons (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict) where such Indemnified Person informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm or counsel (and local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for such affected Indemnified Person)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of or by reason of, (A) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds of any Term Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (B) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding) but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent (x) found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (I) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person to be indemnified or (II) any material breach of the obligations under the Credit Documents of the Indemnified Person to be indemnified or (y) relating to any dispute solely among the Indemnified Persons (other than (I) claims against the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead

Arranger or their respective Affiliates in their capacity or in fulfilling their role as the Administrative Agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Credit Documents and (II) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries); provided, further, that clause (ii) of this Section 12.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.02. Right of Set-off. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and, subject to Section 12.24, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, other than accounts used exclusively for payroll, payroll taxes, fiduciary and trust purposes and employee benefits) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of the other Credit Parties against and on account of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be unmatured.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE TERM LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR

PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

12.03. Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier, cable communication or other electronic image transmission) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled, transmitted or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 12.03; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a), unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower will, or will cause its respective Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that is or relates to a Notice of Borrowing or a notice pursuant to Section 2.06, (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its respective Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in Section 12.03(a) but only to the extent specifically requested by the Administrative Agent in a particular instance.

(c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Holdings and/or the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system

(the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities following an IPO (whether or not same has occurred)) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that (w) at the request of the Administrative Agent, Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal securities laws following an IPO (whether or not same has occurred) (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as such as set forth in Section 12.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Credit Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Term Loans.

(d) 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 Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including 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 Platform and that may contain information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to Holdings or the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. 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 AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR

OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a), the Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its electronic mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such electronic mail address.

12.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void); provided, further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees (each a “Participant”) in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitment, Term Loans, Note or other Obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 12.04(b)) and the Participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; provided, further, any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or a mandatory repayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Term Loan (or the addition of additional Commitments or Term Loans) shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Term Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, except as otherwise set forth below in this Section 12.04(a), the Participant shall

not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.04(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 4.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. A participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 4.04(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.13 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.06 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (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, or its other obligations under any Credit 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 Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may (in each case below, excluding any assignments to any Affiliated Person, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 2.15) (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) any Lender Affiliate of such Lender or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Lender Affiliate of any such other Lender (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as a Lender Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this subclause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such

Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 10.01(a) or (e), the Borrower may otherwise agree, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes (if any) by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such consent deemed to have been made with respect to any assignment if the Borrower has not responded within ten Business Days after delivery of notice of such assignment; provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during primary syndication to the extent such Lender (or Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof) shall have been approved in writing by the Sponsor)) shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor and which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 12.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment and outstanding Term Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, (i) to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 4.04(f), and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee Lender shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Credit Parties and their Affiliates or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in

increased costs under Section 2.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay increased costs, as and to the extent provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04 (excluding for the avoidance of doubt Excluded Taxes), after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Term Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Term Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued by, such fund, as security for such obligations or securities. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitment and/or Term Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 12.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Term Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Term Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

12.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any

other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

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

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and the express provisions of Section 2.15 that permit differing payments among Lenders.

12.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 2.14, 8.13 and 9 and calculations of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, shall utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the Pro Forma Financial Statements (subject to purchase accounting and other adjustments reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as a result of the Acquisition); provided that if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative

Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change becomes effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided, further, that if such an amendment is requested by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (without the payment of any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof, (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, for purposes of calculating financial terms, all covenants and related definitions, all such calculations shall be based on the operations, assets and results of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and shall be made without giving effect to the operations, assets or results of any Unrestricted Subsidiaries, (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all covenants and financial ratios contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof, (iv) all financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of any accounting change shall contain a schedule showing the adjustments, in any, necessary to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting changes, and (v) all references in this Agreement to a four-Fiscal Quarter period of the Borrower referring to a period prior to the Closing Date shall refer to the applicable period prior to the Closing Date as if the Borrower had existed and the Transaction has occurred on the first day of said period.

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after an IPO, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 9.11(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated EBITDA) or (ii) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) as a condition to (A) the making of any Dividend and/or (B) the making of any Restricted Junior Payment, the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower, (1) in the case of any Dividend, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Dividend or (y) the making of such Dividend and (2) in the case of any Restricted Junior Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Junior Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Junior Payment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant acquisition, Dividend and/or Restricted Junior Payment on a Pro Forma Basis.

(d) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 9.11(a), any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test, any Interest Coverage Ratio test and/or the amount of Consolidated EBITDA), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to clause (c) above), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred in reliance on clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred in reliance on clause (ii) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) above or in the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligations”, in the event of an accounting change requiring all leases to be capitalized, only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that such leases were in existence on the date hereof) that would constitute Capitalized Lease Obligations in conformity with GAAP on the date hereof shall be considered Capitalized Lease Obligations, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith (provided that together with all financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of any such accounting change, the Borrower shall deliver a schedule showing the adjustments necessary to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change).

12.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE SHALL GOVERN IN DETERMINING ON THE CLOSING DATE (A) THE INTERPRETATION OF A COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT AND WHETHER A COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT HAS OCCURRED, (B) THE ACCURACY OF ANY PURCHASE AGREEMENT REPRESENTATION AND WHETHER AS A RESULT OF ANY INACCURACY THEREOF HOLDINGS OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE THE RIGHT (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY NOTICE REQUIREMENT) TO TERMINATE ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS (OR TO REFUSE TO CONSUMMATE THE ACQUISITION) UNDER THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND (C) WHETHER THE ACQUISITION HAS BEEN CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (IN EACH CASE

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) repay all outstanding Term Loans and terminate all Commitments of such Lender in accordance with Section 4.01(b); provided that, unless the Term Loans which are repaid or Commitments which are terminated pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the outstanding Term Loans or Commitments of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), (x) the calculation of Required Lenders shall be determined after giving effect to any such repayment or termination, (y) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto and (z) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and all Term Loans of any such non-consenting Lender (with accrued and unpaid interest and any breakage costs or other amounts owing to such Lender) shall be repaid in full at such time; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender or repay its Term Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 12.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.12, no Lender consent is required (although the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (such consent not

to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) to effect any amendment or supplement to the Initial Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Priority Refinancing Debt or any other secured Indebtedness permitted hereunder (or a representative agent or trustee with respect thereto) (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by the Initial Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of any Other Intercreditor Agreement); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(d) If Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof that is secured by a Lien on any Collateral, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into any Other Intercreditor Agreement or any amendment to the Initial Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall enter into such Other Intercreditor Agreement or amendment to the Initial Intercreditor Agreement or such Other Intercreditor Agreement) if reasonably requested to do so by the Borrower in order to reflect the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the Lien priority intended to be created thereon.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above of this Section 12.12, (x) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Additional Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14, enter into an Incremental Amendment; provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Additional Lender of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Amendment may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 12.12 and (y) the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments to this Agreement and the Credit Documents to the extent contemplated in Sections 2.16 and 2.17.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.12, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Foreign Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Collateral Agent at the request of Holdings or the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to reflect local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(g) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (x) (i) Security Documents and related documents executed by the Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, (ii) the Other Intercreditor Agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement may be in a form

reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent, and (iii) such Security Documents and related documents, the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Intercreditor Agreements may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered (A) in order to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (B) in order to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or (C) in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness under Section 9.04(j) or (r), Incremental Term Loans (and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof), Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Priority Refinancing Debt or Other Term Loans (and the addition of any collateral as Collateral in connection therewith) and the entry by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent into intercreditor arrangements (including, without limitation, any amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement to the Initial Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, or the corresponding provision in any Other Intercreditor Agreement or amendment or modification thereof) in connection therewith (and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent agree to enter into such agreements, amendments and modifications if reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with the transactions described above) and (y) if, following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a typographical, technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of any Credit Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

12.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 11.06 and 12.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

12.14. Domicile of Term Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Term Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in law after the date of the respective transfer).

12.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15 and such agency being solely for Tax purposes, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Term Loan

made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Term Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Term Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Term Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b), an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee Lender (unless the assignee Lender shall already be a Lender hereunder), the appropriate IRS Forms, if applicable, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b), if applicable, and the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower. Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Term Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Term Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15 except to the extent incurred by reason of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.16. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior written consent of the Borrower (other than to its affiliates, and its and their partners, officers, directors, employees, auditors, advisors or counsel if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information; provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 12.16 by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or requested by any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body or self-regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual (actual or prospective) counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (and/or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) relating to the Obligations, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be

bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16 and no such disclosure shall be made to a Disqualified Lender, and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Notes, Commitments, Term Loans or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such prospective transferee, pledgee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16.

12.17. Special Notice Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Security Documents require that certain promissory notes, and certain capital stock and other Equity Interests owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and, in certain cases, delivered for pledge, to the Collateral Agent. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that, except to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.12(b), each Credit Party shall only be required to take actions under the laws of the United States and any State thereof to perfect the security interests in the pledged capital stock and other Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person regardless of where organized (and in each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party). To the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital stock or other Equity Interests in, any Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that no actions have been required or will be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions (unless otherwise requested pursuant to Section 8.12(b)) under local law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction but only with respect to capital stock of, other Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof.

12.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.19. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

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

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.19 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(d) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS MAY BE ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS SECTION 12.19 SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ANY SUCH OTHER INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS AS SAME APPLIES TO THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

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

12.21. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 12.21, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand,

each Credit Party, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that such Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

12.22. Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions specified in Schedule 12.22 attached hereto as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time periods set forth in Schedule 12.22, unless and then only to the extent extended by the Administrative Agent.

All conditions precedent and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents); provided that to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, to the extent such representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language) at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.22. The acceptance of the benefits of the Borrowing on the Closing Date shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower and Holdings to each of the Secured Creditors that the actions required pursuant to this Section 12.22 will be taken within the relevant time periods referred to in this Section 12.22 and Schedule 12.22, and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise to an Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

12.23. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Secured Obligations by the Borrower or any Guarantor or the transfer to the Secured Creditors of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Secured Creditors are required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elect to do so

upon the reasonable advice of their counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Secured Creditors are required or elect to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Secured Creditors related thereto, the liability of the Borrower or such Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

12.24. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (in respect of the exercise of any set off, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The provisions of this Section 12.24 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party

12.25. Hedging Creditors. Each Hedging Creditor shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Credit Documents solely for purposes of and solely with respect to any reference in a Credit Document to the parties for whom the Collateral Agent is acting. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Hedging Creditors and, by virtue of being a counterparty to a Term Secured Hedging Agreement, each Hedging Creditor shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Hedging Creditor under the Credit Documents consist exclusively of such Hedging Creditor’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Collateral Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are owing to any Hedging Creditor unless such Hedging Creditor has provided written notification to the Administrative Agent of the amount that is owing to it and such notification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.

The captions and headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

2. Guaranteed Obligations. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranties to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors, as and for its own debt as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, until the final and indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations has been made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the applicable Term Secured Hedging Agreements, the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to a mandatory prepayment requirement, by acceleration, declaration, demand, or otherwise; it being the intent of each Guarantor that the guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.

(b) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Borrower or other affiliates of Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of Subordinated Indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 2(b), pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined

under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

3. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty includes Guaranteed Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing or renewing the Guaranteed Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guaranteed Obligations after prior Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guaranteed Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Administrative Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of the Lender Creditors in existence on the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by any Guarantor, Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by Borrower or from any source other than the Guarantors subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of the Guarantors hereunder.

4. Performance Under this Guaranty. In the event that Borrower fails to make any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations, on or prior to the due date thereof, each of the Guarantors immediately shall cause such payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to be made.

5. Primary Obligations. This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of each Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it is, directly, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor and any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors, that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, each other Guarantor or any other guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor, whether such action is brought against Borrower, each other Guarantor or any other guarantor or whether Borrower or any other guarantor is joined in such action. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor of whatever remedies they may have against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor, or the enforcement of any Lien or realization upon any security by any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any release which may be

given by the Administrative Agent to Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor, or with respect to any property or asset subject to a Lien, shall not release such Guarantor. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that neither any Lender Creditor nor any Hedging Creditor shall be under any obligation to marshal any property or assets of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor in favor of such Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans, extensions of credit or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement and the Term Secured Hedging Agreements, or the creation or existence or extension, increase or modification of any Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to such Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging Agreements; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging Agreements; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or any other Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging Agreements to which such Guarantor is a party) and demands to which any Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor, to institute suit against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor has or may have against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor. In this regard, each Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of each and all Guaranteed Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, as fully as if the Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Creditors, or the Hedging Creditors, as applicable, by such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full, to the extent of any such payment) of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower in respect thereof.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (i) any right to assert against any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor, any (A) defense (legal or equitable) other than payment in cash in full, (B) set-off, or (C) counterclaim, in each case, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor including any defense

based upon an impairment or elimination of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Guarantor against Borrower or other guarantors or sureties; and (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

(d) Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash in full, each Guarantor hereby (i) postpones and agrees not to exercise any right of subrogation such Guarantor has or may have as against Borrower or any other Credit Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) postpones and agrees not to exercise any right to proceed against Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter liable on account of the Guaranteed Obligations for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other similar rights (irrespective of whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, no Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, nor shall proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor (including after payment in cash in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such Borrower, any Guarantor or other guarantor whether pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise.

(e) Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and, after the execution thereof, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time are secured by a mortgage or deed of trust upon real property, any Lender Creditor may elect, in its sole discretion, upon a default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, to foreclose such mortgage or deed of trust judicially or nonjudicially in any manner permitted by law in accordance with the Credit Documents, before or after enforcing this Guaranty, without diminishing or affecting the liability of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor understands that (i) by virtue of the operation of antideficiency law applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, an election by any Lender Creditor to nonjudicially foreclose on such a mortgage or deed of trust may have the effect of impairing or destroying rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Guarantor against any Credit Party or other guarantors or sureties, and (ii) absent the waiver given by such Guarantor herein, such an election would estop any Lender Creditor from enforcing this Guaranty against such Guarantor. Understanding the foregoing, and understanding that each Guarantor is hereby relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert against any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether denominated “estoppel” or otherwise, based on or arising from an election by any Lender Creditor to nonjudicially foreclose on any such mortgage or deed of trust or as a result of any other exercise of remedies, whether under a mortgage or deed of trust or under any personal property security agreement. Each Guarantor understands that the effect of the foregoing waiver may be that such Guarantor may have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which such Guarantor may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against Borrower, the other Guarantors or other guarantors or sureties.

(f) Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Guaranty, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have if all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property, other than the defense of payment. This means, among other things:

(i) Any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any Real Property or personal property collateral that may be pledged by such Guarantor, Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor.

(ii) If any Lender Creditor forecloses on any Real Property collateral that may be pledged by such Guarantor, Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor:

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Guarantor may have if all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property.

(g) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ANY LENDER CREDITOR OR ANY HEDGING CREDITOR, EVEN THOUGH SUCH ELECTION OF REMEDIES (AS PROVIDED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TERM SECURED HEDGING AGREEMENTS), SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS, HAS DESTROYED SUCH GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST BORROWER, THE OTHER GUARANTORS PARTY HERETO OR ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OR SURETY BY THE OPERATION OF APPLICABLE LAW.

(h) Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby also agrees to the following waivers:

(i) the Collateral Agent’s right to enforce this Guaranty is absolute and is not contingent upon the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging Agreements. Each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Guaranty shall be enforceable even if Borrower had no liability at the time of execution of the Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging

Agreements or the Guaranteed Obligations are unenforceable in whole or in part, or Borrower ceases to be liable with respect to all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all benefits and defenses that it may have arising out of or in connection with the foregoing.

(ii) Each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent’s rights under the Credit Documents and the rights of the Hedging Creditors under the Term Secured Hedging Agreements will remain enforceable even if the amount guaranteed hereunder is larger in amount and more burdensome than that for which Borrower is responsible, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all benefits and defenses that it may have arising out of or in connection with the foregoing. The enforceability of this Guaranty against each Guarantor shall continue until payment in cash in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall not be limited or affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Documents or the Term Secured Hedging Agreements, from whatever cause, the failure of any security interest in any such security or collateral or any disability or other defense of Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of Borrower’s obligations under any other Credit Document or Term Secured Hedging Agreements, any pledgor of collateral for any Person’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the Credit Documents or Term Secured Hedging Agreements.

(iii) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all benefits and defenses that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: the right to require the Administrative Agent to (A) proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other guarantor of Borrower’s obligations under any Credit Document or Term Secured Hedging Agreement, any other pledgor of collateral for any Person’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security or collateral the Administrative Agent may hold, or (C) pursue any other right or remedy for such Guarantor’s benefit, and agrees that the Administrative Agent may exercise its right under this Guaranty without taking any action against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Documents or Term Secured Hedging Agreement, any pledgor of collateral for any Person’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or any other Person in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, and without proceeding against or exhausting any security or collateral the Administrative Agent holds.

7. Releases. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or by any Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, any Lender Creditor or any Hedging Creditor may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle, shorten or extend the Initial Maturity Date, the Maturity Date or any other period of duration or the time for the payment of the Obligations, or discharge the performance of the Obligations, or may refuse to enforce the Obligations, or otherwise elect not to enforce the Obligations, or may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any Term Secured Hedging Agreement or may grant other indulgences to Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor in respect thereof, or may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit

Document or any Term Secured Hedging Agreement (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of any Obligations or the interest, fees or other amounts that may accrue from time to time in respect thereof), or may, by action or inaction, release or substitute Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor, if any, of the Guaranteed Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action or inaction, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any portion thereof.

8. No Election. The Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors shall have the right to seek recourse against each Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein and no election by any of the Lender Creditors or any of the Hedging Creditors to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any Person or party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of any Lender Creditor’s or any Hedging Creditor’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other Persons or parties unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf and at the direction of the Lender Creditors or the Hedging Creditors, has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by any of the Lender Creditors or the Hedging Creditors under any document or instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent that the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors finally and unconditionally shall have realized payment in cash in full of the Guaranteed Obligations by such action or proceeding.

9. Revival and Reinstatement. If the incurrence or payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty by such Guarantor or the transfer by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent of any property of such Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if any of the Lender Creditors or Hedging Creditors is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the applicable Lender Creditor or Hedging Creditor is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the applicable Lender Creditor or Hedging Creditor related thereto, the liability of each Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors that it is currently informed of the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors that it has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, each other Credit Document and each Term Secured Hedging Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition, the condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Guarantors and any other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

11. Payments; Application. All payments to be made hereunder by any Guarantor shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset and shall be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and, after the execution thereof, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

12. Attorneys Fees and Costs. Each Guarantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, on demand, all attorneys fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lender Creditors and/or the Hedging Creditors in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or in any way arising out of, or consequential to, the protection, assertion, or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any security therefor) or any rights or remedies related to the foregoing, irrespective of whether suit is brought.

13. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder to the Administrative Agent shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance with Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement. All notices and other communications hereunder to the Guarantors shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in care of Borrower in accordance with Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement.

14. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or under any Term Secured Hedging Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Term Secured Hedging Agreement, and those remedies provided by law. No delay or omission by the Lender Creditors, the Hedging Creditors or the Administrative Agent on behalf thereof to exercise any right under this Guaranty shall impair any such right nor be construed to be a waiver thereof. No failure on the part of the Lender Creditors, the Hedging Creditors or the Administrative Agent on behalf thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Guaranty preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

15. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Guaranty shall be severable from every other provision of this Guaranty for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

16. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the Guarantors, the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors pertaining to the subject matter contained herein. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty may not be altered, amended, or modified, nor may any provision hereof be waived or noncompliance therewith consented to, except by means of a writing executed by each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, on behalf and at the direction of the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors. Any such alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only to the extent specified therein and for the specific purpose for which given. No course of dealing and no delay or waiver of any right or default under this Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other, similar or dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies hereunder.

17. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors; provided, however, no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or delegate any of its duties hereunder without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent and any unconsented to assignment shall be absolutely null and void. In the event of any assignment, participation, or other transfer of rights by any Lender Creditors or the Hedging Creditors, the rights and benefits herein conferred upon the Lender Creditors and the Hedging Creditors shall automatically extend to and be vested in such assignee or other transferee.

18. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Guaranty is solely for the benefit of each Lender Creditor, each Hedging Creditor, and each of their successors and assigns and may not be relied on by any other Person.

THE VALIDITY OF THIS GUARANTY, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

In no event shall (i) notices be required to be sent to account debtors or other contractual third parties except in connection with any enforcement action otherwise permitted hereunder and under the Credit Agreement, or (ii) foreign-law governed security documents or perfection under foreign law be required.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any restriction or condition causing or resulting in such personal property or other assets to constitute Excluded Assets under this Section 2, the Collateral shall include, and the Borrower and the other Grantors, as applicable, shall be deemed to have granted a security in, all relevant previously restricted or conditioned right, title and interest in, to and under the personal property or other assets referred to in such paragraph, as the case may be, as if such restriction or condition had never been in effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Creditors) acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the Security Interest granted pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 2) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (i) in the Term Loan Priority Collateral, shall be a First Priority Lien and (ii) in the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, shall be a Second Priority Lien, fully junior, subordinated and subject to the security interest granted to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in the ABL Facility Priority Collateral on the terms and conditions set forth in the ABL Facility Documents, the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and, after the execution thereof, any Other Intercreditor Agreement and all other rights and benefits afforded hereunder to the Secured Creditors with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral are expressly subject to the terms and conditions of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement and, after the execution thereof, any Other Intercreditor Agreement; and

(ii) the ABL Facility Secured Parties’ security interests in the Collateral constitute security interests separate and apart (and of a different class and claim) from the Secured Creditors’ Security Interests in the Collateral.

(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COLLATERAL AND THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THE INITIAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(e) All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance).

3. Security for Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby secures the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or arising hereafter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by the Grantors, or any of them, to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor due to the existence of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

4. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each of the Grantors shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership Agreements, to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, and (c) none of the Secured Creditors shall have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the Secured Creditors be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or other Credit Documents, the Grantors shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting their respective businesses, subject to

and upon the terms hereof and of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including all voting, consensual, dividend and distribution rights, shall remain in the applicable Grantor until the occurrence of an Event of Default and until the Collateral Agent has notified the applicable Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s election to exercise such voting, consensual, dividend or distribution rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 15 (although no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing).

5. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, that:

12. Collateral Agent’s Duties; Etc.. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Creditor nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or

affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Creditors with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, or that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Credit Documents.

14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Collateral Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof may not be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, the Collateral Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if the Collateral Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Collateral Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent may, at its option, and with 2 Business Days prior notice to any Grantor (although no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(e) of the Credit Agreement exists and is continuing), and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent hereunder, under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, for so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors.

(c) After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor’s right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that any Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall be reinstated.

16. Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) The Collateral Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Credit Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Collateral Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and/or upon such other terms as the

Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to any of Grantors of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Solely upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is granted a worldwide license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, Trade Secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, other industrial or intellectual property or any property of a similar nature, whether owned by any of Grantors or with respect to which any of Grantors have rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, in each case to the extent of such Grantor’s rights therein and to the extent permitted by applicable licenses or other agreements related thereto, and such Grantor will not be in default under the applicable license, sublicense or other agreement as a result of such use by the Collateral Agent, as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent for such purposes to the extent permitted thereunder; provided, however, that such license (i) shall be subject to those exclusive Intellectual Property Licenses granted by the Grantors in effect on the date hereof and those granted by any Grantor hereafter, as permitted under the Credit Documents, to the extent conflicting, (ii) any such license entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default; and (iii) apply to the use of Trademarks in connection with goods and services of similar type and quality to those therefore sold by such Grantor under such Trademark. With respect to Trademarks owned by a Grantor and licensed under this Section 16(b), the applicable Grantor shall have such rights of quality control and inspection which are reasonably necessary under applicable law to maintain the validity and enforceability of such Trademarks.

(c) Solely upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to the Intellectual Property rights, vested in Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 10(h) to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) take and use or sell the Intellectual Property rights; (iii) take and use or sell the goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks or Domain Names have been used; and (iv) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property rights in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents that Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property

rights and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or applicable Domain Name registrar to Collateral Agent.

(d) The Collateral Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Credit Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any of Grantors or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any of Grantors’ Deposit Accounts in which the Collateral Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) with respect to any of Grantors’ Securities Accounts in which the Collateral Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

(e) Subject to the terms of the Initial Intercreditor Agreement, any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. The amounts received in any Administrative Agent’s Account (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.03(d) of the ABL Credit Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

(f) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of commercial transactions, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents or Term Secured Hedging Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents and the Term Secured Hedging Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Creditor of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18. Marshaling. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

(a) Each Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) (other than, to the extent excluded from Section 12.01 of the Credit Agreement, disputes solely between the Lenders), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to the Collateral Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any of the Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of Grantors herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, no amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and each of Grantors to which such amendment applies.

21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to the Collateral Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Credit Agreement or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon each of the Grantors, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such the Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto, and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors’ expense, all termination statements, releases and other documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) which the Grantors shall reasonably, in each case, request to evidence such termination and authorize the filing of any such termination, release or other document executed and delivered by the Collateral Agent. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to the Collateral Agent nor other loans made by any Lender to the Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to the Grantors, or any of them, by the Collateral Agent, nor any other act of the Secured Creditors, or any of them, shall release any of the Grantors from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion. Upon the consummation of any sale or other disposition of Collateral to any third party pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the Security Interest granted hereby with respect to such Collateral shall terminate (but shall attach to the Proceeds or products thereof) and the Collateral Agent shall, at the reasonable request and at the expense of the applicable Grantor, provide evidence (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) of such termination.

Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by each such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.

25. Collateral Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors.

(a) This Agreement is a Credit Document. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission (i.e. “PDF”) shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Credit Document mutatis mutandis.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

(c) Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

(d) Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any Secured Creditor or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor:

(i) None of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties (x) will exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including set-off) with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral (including the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement in respect of Term Loan Priority Collateral to which the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party is a party) or institute or commence, or join with any Person (other than the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties) in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution); provided, however, that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent may exercise any or all such rights in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents after a period of 180 days has elapsed since the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent with respect to any of the following (and requesting that enforcement action be taken with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral) and so long as the respective payment default shall not have been cured or waived (or the respective acceleration rescinded): (I) a payment default exists with respect to the ABL Facility Obligations following the final maturity of the ABL Facility Obligations or (II) after the acceleration by the relevant ABL Facility Secured Parties of the maturity of all then outstanding ABL Facility Obligations (the “ABL Facility Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party will exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the ABL Facility Standstill Period, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given by the respective enforcing Directing Collateral Agent to the other Directing Collateral Agent), (y) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the Term Loan Priority Collateral under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise, and (z) subject to

its rights under clause (i)(x) above, will object to the forbearance by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, in each case so long as the interests of the ABL Facility Secured Parties attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2; and

(ii) subject to Section 6 and clause (i)(x) above, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the applicable Credit Bid Rights) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Term Loan Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party; provided that:

(A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Facility Obligations;

(B) the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and any ABL Facility Secured Party may take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, or the rights of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents, and the terms of this Agreement in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral;

(C) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Term Loan Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(D) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Debtor Relief Laws or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to the extent not inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement;

(E) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral; and

(F) the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents after the termination of the ABL Facility Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.

Subject to Section 6 and clause (i)(x) above, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties

may enforce the provisions of the Term Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Term Loan Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under any other applicable law.

(b) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any Term Loan Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.1(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) or in Section 6. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.1(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) or in Section 6, the sole right of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral pursuant to the ABL Facility Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term Loan Documents and applicable law.

(c) Subject to the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.1(a), the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) and Section 6:

(i) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Term Loan Documents with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Term Loan Security Document with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral or subordinate the priority of the Term Loan Obligations to the ABL Facility Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral or grant the Liens with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations equal ranking to the Liens with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, and

(ii) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or the ABL Facility Secured Parties may have as a junior Lien creditor with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Term Loan Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, in any such case except to the extent such enforcement or collection is in violation of the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the ABL Facility Secured Parties.

(d) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any ABL Facility Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Term Loan Documents.

3.3. Payments Over Prior to Discharge of Term Loan Obligations. So long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, any Term Loan Priority Collateral, Cash Proceeds thereof or non-Cash Proceeds constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral (or any distribution in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by (i) the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties or (ii) any Term Loan Collateral Agent or other Term Loan Secured Party (other than the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent), in each case, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Term Loan Priority Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, for application in accordance with Section 7.1 below, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, any such ABL Facility Secured Parties and the other Term Loan Collateral Agents or any such Term Loan Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations.

(A) the exercise of any Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral provided for in Section 3.1(a) (with the Proceeds thereof being applied to the Term Loan Priority Obligations), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Term Loan Priority Collateral; or

(B) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (to a Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Grantor) of any Term Loan Priority Collateral permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents,

the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, on such Term Loan Priority Collateral (but not in the Proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, be necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases; and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or such Grantor (at the expense of such Grantor) such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or such Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release. Similarly, if the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Grantor) and in connection therewith the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent

releases the Term Liens on the property or assets of such Person or releases such Person from its guarantee of Term Loan Obligations, then the ABL Facility Liens on such property or assets of such Person and such Person’s guarantee of the ABL Facility Obligations shall be automatically released to the same extent; provided, however, that the release of ABL Facility Liens and any Person’s guarantee of ABL Facility Obligations shall only occur pursuant to this Section 3.4(a)(i) if the net Cash Proceeds received by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent from the disposition of such equity interests equal or exceed an amount equal to the sum of the face amount of the Accounts (as described in clause (i) of the definition of ABL Facility Priority Collateral, and excluding any Accounts to the extent excluded pursuant to said clause (i)) of such Person and the net book value of the Inventory owned by such Person, in each case at the time of such release and such net Cash Proceeds are applied as provided in Section 7.3.

(ii) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations occurs, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or such ABL Facility Secured Party, as the case may be, or in the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to Term Loan Priority Collateral, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to Term Loan Priority Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(iii) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations occurs, to the extent that the Term Loan Secured Parties (A) have released any Lien on Term Loan Priority Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (B) obtain any new Liens on assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral from Grantors, then the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be granted similarly perfected Liens on any such Term Loan Priority Collateral, which Liens shall be subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision will not be violated if the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent states in writing that the ABL Facility Documents prohibit the ABL Facility Collateral Agent from accepting a Lien on such asset or property or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property.

(iv) If, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, a subordination of the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (a “Term Loan Collateral Priority Lien”), then (x) the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and (y) the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for the benefit of (and on behalf of) the ABL Facility Secured Parties to such Term Loan Collateral Priority Lien.

(b) Insurance – Prior to Discharge of Term Loan Obligations. Unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Term Loan Documents, to

adjust settlement for any Insurance policy covering the Term Loan Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral; provided that, if any Insurance claim includes both ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, and if the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Directing Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the parties. If the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such Insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Section 3.4(b), it shall pay such Proceeds over to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3.

(i) The Term Loan Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Term Loan Obligations may (subject to compliance with Section 8.19) be Refinanced with replacement Term Loan Obligations, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the Term Loan Documents shall not, without the consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent:

(B) add any limitation (materially more restrictive than that originally contained in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) on the optional or mandatory prepayment of the loans under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or any other ABL Facility Document; or

(C) except as otherwise contemplated or required by the Term Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) and except in connection with any Term Loan DIP Financing permitted hereunder, expressly subordinate the Lien on all or substantially all of the Term Loan Priority Collateral to the Lien of any other creditor on the Term Loan Priority Collateral;

provided that, subject to clauses (A) through (C) above, (x) the Term Loan Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and/or Refinanced from time to time in accordance with their terms in order to effect the making or provision of (i) any “Incremental Term Loans”, (ii) any “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness” or (iii) any “Extended Term Loans”, in each case without notice to, or the consent of, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, (y) Term Loan Hedging Obligations may be incurred from time to time and (z) Additional Term Priority Obligations may be incurred from time to time as permitted by Section 8.19.

Subject to the provisions of the ABL Facility Documents, the Term Loan Documents may be Refinanced with Term Loan Obligations to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness meet the requirements of this Section 3.4(c) and the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness comply with Section 8.19.

(ii) In the event the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Term Loan Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Term Loan Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, such Term Loan Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable ABL Facility Security Document without the consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties and without any action by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, the Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (x) removing assets that constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the ABL Facility Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 3.4(a) (and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the Term Loan Obligations), (y) imposing duties on the ABL Facility Collateral Agent without its consent or (z) permitting other liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the ABL Facility Documents or Section 3.5 and (B) notice by the Term Loan Collateral Agent of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

(iii) The Term Loan Collateral Agent shall endeavor to give prompt notice of any amendment, waiver or consent of a Term Loan Document to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure of the Term Loan Collateral Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the priority of the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries.

(i) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility Documents to which it is a party and applicable law to the extent that the exercise of such rights and remedies is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the ABL Facility Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any other ABL Facility Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Term Loan Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Term Loan Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations are so subordinated to such Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including under Sections 3.1(a)), nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties may have with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(i) The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees to hold or control that part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such Term Loan Priority Collateral being the “Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral”) as collateral agent for the Term Loan Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4(e).

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Documents as if the Liens of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent under the ABL Facility Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s rights under the Term Loan Documents.

(iii) The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Loan Secured Party, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.4(e). The duties or responsibilities of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(e) shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 3.4(e).

(iv) The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(e) shall not have by reason of the Term Loan Security Documents, the ABL Facility Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Term Loan Secured Party, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party.

(v) Upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, (A) first, to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent to the extent ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding and (B) second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or such Grantor, as the case may be, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral under its control. The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors or such Person) in connection with such Person obtaining a perfected security interest in the Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, all rights of any Term Loan Collateral Agent hereunder (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of such Term Loan Priority Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Collateral Agent, pass to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties. Each of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, take any other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (subject to any limitations set forth in the ABL Facility Documents), in connection with the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a security interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent acquires possession of any Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral, provided that as soon as is practicable the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the requirements of preceding clause (v).

(f) When Discharge of Term Loan Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if concurrently with (or immediately after) the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, the Borrower or any other Grantor enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any Term Loan Priority Obligations pursuant to a new Term Loan Credit Agreement or Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement in accordance with Section 8.19, then such Discharge of Term Loan Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Term Loan Priority Obligations (together with the Term Loan Secured Hedging Agreements on the basis provided in the definition of “Term Loan Documents” contained herein) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “Term Loan Credit Agreement” or “Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement”, as appropriate, shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to such Permitted Refinancing and the Term Loan Collateral Agent under such Term Loan Documents (who shall be the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof if the Permitted Refinancing is pursuant to a replacement Term Loan Credit Agreement) and the new secured parties under such Term Loan Documents shall automatically be treated as Term Loan Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement.

(a) Finance and Sale Issues – Term Loan Obligations. Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral or to permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the

Term Loan Secured Parties or any other entity under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law that is secured by a Lien that is (I) senior or pari passu with the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Priority Obligations, and (II) junior to the Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Priority Obligations (each, a “Term Loan DIP Financing”), then the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting) such use of cash collateral constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral or to the fact that the providers of such Term Loan DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 3.5(c)) and, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Term Loan Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all interest and other obligations relating thereto); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan DIP Financing shall not exceed the amount set forth in clause (iii) of the definition of “Term Loan Debt Cap” herein and (B) (w) each of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Facility Priority Obligations, and, with respect to the Liens of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on ABL Facility Priority Collateral only, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) to the extent that the Term Loan Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to Term Loan Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such Term Loan DIP Financing and the Term Loan Priority Obligations), (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(a) shall not prevent the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws and (z) the terms of such Term Loan DIP Financing or use of cash collateral do not require any Grantor to seek any approval for any plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Term Loan Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of Proceeds with respect to the Second Priority Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral in favor of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to seek and exercise Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition.

(b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent.

(c) Adequate Protection. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (A) any request by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties for adequate protection or similar protection under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral, (B) so long as the request of adequate protection is in the form of a replacement Lien on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral that is junior to the Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Priority Obligations, any request by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral, or (C) any objection by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties to any motion,

relief, action or proceeding based on the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the Term Loan Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral in connection with any Term Loan DIP Financing or use of cash collateral constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, then the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations and such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Facility Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, then the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Term Loan Obligations and for any such Term Loan DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations and any such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Term Loan Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, as the case may be, are so subordinated to such Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the ABL Facility Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.

(e) Waiver. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Term Loan Secured Party arising out of the election of any Term Loan Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Term Loan Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

3.6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, acknowledges that it and such ABL Facility Secured Parties, as the case may be, have, independently and without reliance on the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the ABL Facility Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

(a) No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Term Loan Collateral

Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Term Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Term Loan Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective Term Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have no duty to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any Grantor (including the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(i) No right of the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Term Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Term Loan Secured Party or the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Term Loan Documents or any of the ABL Facility Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(ii) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Grantors under the Term Loan Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.5(c)), the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Term Loan Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, without incurring any liabilities to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(A) make loans and advances to any Grantor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Grantor or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

(B) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Term Loan Obligations or any Term Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral or, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, any ABL Facility Priority Collateral, or guaranty thereof or any liability of any of the Borrower or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Term Loan Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Term Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, or after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, held by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Obligations or any of the Term Loan Documents;

(C) sell, exchange, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner (subject to the terms hereof) and in any order any part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral or, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the Term Loan Secured Parties or the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(D) settle or compromise any Term Loan Obligation or any other liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; and

(E) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Borrower, any other Grantor or any Term Loan Priority Collateral or, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the Term Loan Secured Parties or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

(iii) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, also agrees that the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and any ABL Facility Secured Party, and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any claim against any Term Loan Secured Party or the Term Loan Collateral Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the Term Loan Secured Parties or the Term Loan Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

(A) the Term Loan Documents (other than this Agreement), including any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the Term Loan Priority Collateral;

(C) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any Term Loan Priority Collateral or, after Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.

Except as otherwise required by this Agreement, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Collateral Agent have no duty to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, or, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.

(iv) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral or, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

(a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor:

(i) none of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties (x) will exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including set-off) with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral (including the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement in respect of ABL Facility Priority Collateral to which the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party, as the case may be, is a party) or institute or commence or join with any Person (other than the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties) in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution); provided, however, that the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent may exercise any or all such rights in accordance with the Term Loan Documents after a period of 180 days has elapsed since the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent with respect to any of the following (and requesting that enforcement actions be taken with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral) and so long as the respective payment default shall not have been cured or waived (or the respective acceleration rescinded): (I) a payment default exists with respect to the Term Loan Obligations following the final maturity of the Term Loan Obligations or (II) after the acceleration by the relevant Term Loan Secured Parties of the maturity of all then outstanding Term Loan Obligations (the “Term Loan Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party will exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term Loan Standstill Period, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given by the respective Directing Collateral Agent to the other Directing Collateral Agent), (y) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral under the ABL Facility Documents or otherwise, and (z) subject to its rights under clause (i)(x) above, will object to the forbearance by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, in each case so long as the respective interests of the Term Loan Secured Parties attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2; and

(ii) subject to clause (i)(x) above, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and applicable Credit Bid Rights) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the ABL Facility Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party; provided that:

(A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against Holdings, the Borrower or any other Grantor, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Term Loan Obligations;

(B) any of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and any Term Loan Secured Party may take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, or the rights of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in accordance with the Term Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral;

(C) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term Loan Secured Parties, including without limitation any claims secured by the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(D) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Debtor Relief Laws or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to the extent not inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement;

(E) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral; and

(F) the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in accordance with the Term Loan Documents after the termination of the Term Loan Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.

Subject to clause (i)(x) above, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Facility Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of ABL Facility Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under any other applicable law.

(b) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any ABL Facility Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of ABL Facility Priority Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 4.1(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 4.1(a). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, except as expressly

provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 4.1(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 4.1(a), the sole right of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral pursuant to the Term Loan Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term Loan Documents and applicable law.

(i) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the ABL Facility Documents with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or ABL Facility Security Document, in each case, with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or subordinate the priority of the ABL Facility Obligations to the Term Loan Obligations with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or grant the Liens with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations equal ranking to the Liens with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, and

(ii) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Term Loan Secured Parties may have as a junior Lien creditor with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Facility Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in any such case except to the extent such enforcement or collection is in violation of the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the other ABL Facility Collateral Agent or ABL Facility Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the Term Loan Secured Parties.

(d) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Term Loan Document (other than this Agreement), shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Facility Documents.

4.3. Payments Over – Prior to Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations. So long as the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has not occurred, any ABL Facility Priority Collateral, Cash Proceeds thereof or non-Cash Proceeds constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral (or any distribution in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by (i) any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties or (ii) any ABL Facility Secured Party (other than the ABL Facility Collateral Agent) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, for application in accordance with Section 7.2 below, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, any such Term Loan Secured Parties and any such ABL Facility Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations.

(A) the exercise of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral provided for in Section 4.1(a) (with the Proceeds thereof being applied to the ABL Facility Priority Obligations), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such ABL Facility Priority Collateral; or

(B) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of (to a Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Grantor) any ABL Facility Priority Collateral permitted under the terms of the ABL Facility Documents,

the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, on such ABL Facility Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver or enter into any release of such Liens or claims that may, in the discretion of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, be considered necessary or reasonably desirable in connection with such releases; and the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Term Loan Secured Parties, promptly shall execute and deliver to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or such Grantor (at the expense of such Grantor) may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release.

(ii) Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations occurs, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or such Term Loan Secured Party, as the case may be, or in the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.4(a) with respect to ABL Facility Priority Collateral, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.4(a) with respect to ABL Facility Priority Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(iii) Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations occurs, to the extent that the ABL Facility Secured Parties (A) have released any Lien on ABL Facility Priority Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (B) obtain any new Liens on assets constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral from Grantors, then the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be granted a similarly perfected Lien on any such ABL Facility Priority Collateral, which Liens shall be subject to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision will not be violated if the Term

Loan Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent states in writing that the Term Loan Documents prohibit the Term Loan Collateral Agent from accepting a Lien on such asset or property or the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property.

(iv) If, prior to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, a subordination of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s Lien on any ABL Facility Priority Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement (for purposes of this clause (iv), an “ABL Facility Priority Collateral Lien”), then (x) the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and (y) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent for the benefit of (and behalf of) the Term Loan Secured Parties to such ABL Facility Priority Collateral Lien.

(b) Insurance – Prior to Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents, to adjust settlement for any Insurance policy covering the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral; provided that, if any Insurance claim includes both ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, and if the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Directing Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the parties. If the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such Insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Section 4.4(b), it shall pay such Proceeds over to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3.

(i) The ABL Facility Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the ABL Facility Obligations may (subject to compliance with Section 8.19) be Refinanced with replacement ABL Facility Obligations, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties, all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, replacement, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the ABL Facility Documents shall not, without the consent of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent:

(A) except as otherwise contemplated or required by the ABL Facility Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) and except in connection with any ABL Facility DIP Financing permitted hereunder, expressly subordinate the Lien on all or substantially all of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral to the Lien of any other creditor on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral;

(C) add any limitation (materially more restrictive than that originally contained in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) on the optional or mandatory prepayment of the loans under the Term Loan Credit Documents;

provided that, subject to clauses (A) through (C) above), the ABL Facility Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and/or Refinanced from time to time in accordance with their terms in order to effect the making or provision of (x) any “Incremental Commitments” or (y) any “Extended Revolving Loan Commitment” (each as defined in the ABL Facility Credit Agreement), in each case without notice to, or the consent of, any Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party.

Subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Documents, the ABL Facility Documents may be Refinanced with ABL Facility Obligations to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness meet the requirements of this Section 4.4(c) and the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness comply with Section 8.19.

(ii) In the event the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Facility Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL Facility Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, such ABL Facility Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Term Loan Security Document without the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties and without any action by the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (I) removing assets that constitute ABL Facility Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 4.4(a) and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the ABL Facility Obligations, (II) imposing duties on the Term Loan Collateral Agent without its consent or (III) permitting other liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Documents or Section 4.5 and (B) notice by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Term Loan Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

(iii) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall endeavor to give prompt notice of any amendment, waiver or consent of an ABL Facility Document to the Term Loan Collateral Agent after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the priority of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries.

(i) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Documents to which it is a party and applicable law to the extent that the exercise of such rights and remedies is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the Term Loan Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Facility Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment Lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Facility Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties may have with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.

(i) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent agrees to hold or control that part of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such ABL Facility Priority Collateral being the “Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral”) as collateral agent for the ABL Facility Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Term Loan Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Facility Documents and the Term Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4(e).

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility Documents as if the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent under the Term Loan Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s rights under the ABL Facility Documents.

(iii) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any ABL Facility Secured Party, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.4(e). The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent under this Section 4.4(e) shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 4.4(e).

(iv) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 4.4(e) shall not have by reason of the ABL Facility Security Documents, the Term Loan Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any ABL Facility Secured Party, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party.

(v) Upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, (A) first, to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent to the extent Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding, and (B) second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and such Grantor, as the case may be, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any other ABL Facility Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral under its control. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors or such Person) in connection with such Person obtaining a perfected security interest in the Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, all rights of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent hereunder (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of such ABL Facility Priority Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, pass to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties. Each of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, take any other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent (subject to any limitations set forth in the Term Loan Documents), in connection with the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a security interest in the ABL Facility Priority Collateral; and

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent acquires possession of any Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral, provided that as soon as is practicable the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the requirements of preceding clause (v).

(f) When Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if concurrently with (or immediately after) the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the Borrower and/or any Grantor enters into any Permitted Refinancing of

any ABL Facility Obligations pursuant to a new ABL Facility Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 8.19, then such Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under the new ABL Facility Credit Agreement shall automatically be treated as ABL Facility Obligations (together with the ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations and ABL Facility Hedging Obligations each on the basis provided in the definition of “ABL Facility Obligations” contained herein) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “ABL Facility Credit Agreement” shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to such new ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent under such new ABL Facility Credit Agreement shall be the ABL Facility Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured parties under such ABL Facility Documents (together with the ABL Facility Cash Management Creditors and ABL Facility Hedging Creditors as provided herein) shall automatically be treated as ABL Facility Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, the Term Loan Secured Parties (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant ABL Facility Documents) (each, an “Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase on a pro rata basis by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the then extant ABL Facility Secured Parties under the ABL Facility Documents other than in respect of ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations and any ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreements), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (ii) below of this Section 4.4(g), all, but not less than all, of the ABL Facility Obligations (inclusive of ABL Facility Priority Obligations and Excess ABL Facility Obligations but excluding ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations and any ABL Facility Hedging Obligations), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all ABL Facility Obligations (excluding ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations and any ABL Facility Hedging Obligations) outstanding at the time of purchase. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) shall be made as follows:

(A) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (1) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute ABL Facility Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit and excluding ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations and ABL Facility Hedging Obligations), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration or other prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs), (2) in the case of any ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations, all amounts then due and owing thereunder and cash collateral in such amounts as the ABL Facility Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary to secure the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties in connection with such ABL Facility Cash Management Obligations, (3) in the case of any ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each ABL Facility Hedging Creditor (which is an ABL Facility Secured Party) thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreement, including all amounts owing to such ABL Facility Hedging Creditor as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof (in each case, to the extent of its interest as an ABL Facility Secured Party), (4) in the case of the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit, cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of such letters of credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the

stated maturity of the letters of credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity) and (5) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums or similar fees) through the date of purchase; it being understood and agreed that (x) if at any time those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the ABL Facility Collateral Agent as described in clause (4) above exceed 105% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit and the aggregate facing and similar fees accrued thereon before stated maturity, such excess shall be returned to the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers (as their interests appear), (y) at such time as all letters of credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in clause (4) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers, as their interests appear and (z) at such time as all ABL Facility Secured Cash Management Agreements have been terminated, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in clause (2) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers, as their interests appear. It is understood and agreed that (x) at the time any facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any letter of credit, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (y) upon any drawing under any letter of credit, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing;

(B) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(A) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers (without recourse and without any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any ABL Facility Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any ABL Facility Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representations and warranties (1) that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(A) shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the ABL Facility Obligations) and (2) as to the amount of its portion of the ABL Facility Obligations being acquired);

(D) with all amounts payable to the various ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in accordance with their respective holdings of the various ABL Facility Obligations; and

(E) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make such payment, by the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers, who shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and each other ABL Facility Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant ABL Facility Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.4(g).

(ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 4.4(g)(i) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, (A) shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers and (B) shall specify a date of purchase not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than thirty (30) calendar days, after the date of the receipt by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent of such notice) given to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent by an Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser. Neither the ABL Facility Collateral Agent nor any ABL Facility Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.

(iii) The right to purchase the ABL Facility Obligations as described in this Section 4.4(g) may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (ii)) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three (3) Business Days after the first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, (y) the failure to pay all outstanding loans and obligations in full in cash on the final maturity date of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any other Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within ten (10) Business Days after any such event, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting ABL Facility Obligations remain owing) and (2) ends on the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the start of the period described in clause (1) above. If no Term Loan Secured Party timely exercises the aforementioned purchase option, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents and this Agreement.

(iv) The obligations of the ABL Facility Secured Parties to sell their respective ABL Facility Obligations under this Section 4.4(g) are several and not joint and several. To the extent any ABL Facility Secured Party breaches its obligation to sell its ABL Facility Obligations under this Section 4.4(g) (a “Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 4.4(g) shall be deemed to require the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any other ABL Facility Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party’s ABL Facility Obligations for resale to the holders of Term Loan Obligations and in all cases, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and each ABL Facility Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 4.4(g) shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv) shall require any Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser to purchase less than all of the ABL Facility Obligations.

(v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant ABL Facility Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such ABL Facility Documents) for purposes of all ABL Facility Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 4.4(g) from such Grantor shall be required.

(a) Finance and Sale Issues – ABL Facility Obligations. Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral or to permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain a financing, whether from the ABL Facility Secured Parties or any other entity under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law, that is secured by a Lien that is (I) senior or pari passu with the Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the ABL Facility Priority Obligations and (II) junior to the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Priority Obligations (an “ABL Facility DIP Financing”), then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting) such use of cash collateral constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral or to the fact that the providers of such ABL Facility DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 4.5(c)) and, the Term Loan Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Facility Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all interest and other obligations relating thereto); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the ABL Facility DIP Financing shall not exceed the amount set forth in clause (iii) of the definition of “ABL Facility Debt Cap” herein and (B) (w) each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral to secure the Term Loan Priority Obligations and, with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral only, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) to the extent that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to ABL Facility Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such ABL Facility DIP Financing and the ABL Facility Priority Obligations, (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5(a) shall not prevent the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any ABL Facility DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws and (z) the terms of such ABL Facility DIP Financing do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any plan of reorganization. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any ABL Facility Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of Proceeds with respect to the Second Priority Lien on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in favor of the Term Loan Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that any of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to seek and exercise Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition.

(i) Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent.

(c) Adequate Protection. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (A) any request by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral, (B) so long as the request of adequate protection is in the form of a replacement Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral that is junior to the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Priority Obligations, any request by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral or (C) any objection by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 4.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the ABL Facility Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral in connection with any ABL Facility DIP Financing or use of cash collateral constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral, then the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Facility Obligations and such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing Term Loan Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the ABL Facility Obligations and for any such ABL Facility DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations and any such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the ABL Facility Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 4.1(a), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.

(e) Waiver. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any ABL Facility Secured Party arising out of the election of any ABL Facility Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(a) Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties under its Term Loan Documents, acknowledges that it and the Secured Parties under the Term Loan Documents have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Term Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

(b) No Warranties or Liability. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the ABL Facility Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The ABL Facility Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective ABL Facility Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any other Grantor (including the ABL Facility Documents and the Term Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(i) No right of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Facility Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any ABL Facility Secured Party or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Facility Documents or any of the Term Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(ii) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(c) and Section 4.5(c)), the ABL Facility Secured Parties, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party without incurring any liabilities to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Parties and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(B) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the ABL Facility Obligations or any Lien on any ABL Facility Priority Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the ABL Facility Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral held by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, the ABL Facility Obligations or any of the ABL Facility Documents;

(C) sell, exchange, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner (subject to the terms hereof) and in any order any part of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the ABL Facility Secured Parties or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(D) settle or compromise any ABL Facility Obligation or any other liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; and

(E) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Borrower, any other Grantor or any ABL Facility Priority Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Borrower or any other Grantor to the ABL Facility Secured Parties or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

(iii) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, also agrees that the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party and the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby waives any claim against any ABL Facility Secured Party or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the ABL Facility Secured Parties or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

(A) the ABL Facility Documents (other than this Agreement), including any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the ABL Facility Priority Collateral;

Except as otherwise required by this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent have no duty to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.

(iv) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

5.1. Legends. The Grantors agree that each Credit Agreement and each Security Document shall include the following language (with any necessary modifications to give effect to applicable definitions) (or language to similar effect approved by the Directing Collateral Agents):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the [ABL Facility Collateral Agent] [Term Loan Collateral Agent] pursuant to this Agreement in any Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by the [ABL Facility Collateral Agent] [Term Loan Collateral Agent] with respect to any Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Jill Holdings LLC, Jill Acquisition LLC, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, CIT Finance LLC (“CIT”), as ABL Facility Administrative Agent and as ABL Facility Collateral Agent, Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies Finance”), as Term Loan Administrative Agent and as Term Loan Collateral Agent and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, the Grantors agree that each mortgage or deed of trust in favor of any Secured Parties covering any Collateral shall also contain such other language as any Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such mortgage to the mortgage in favor of such Collateral Agent on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties covering such Collateral.

5.2. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Term Loan Obligations and the ABL Facility Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Term Loan Obligations or such ABL Facility Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(a) None of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Collateral Agent for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees

or expenses to the extent of the value of the Term Loan Secured Party’s Lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (without regard to the existence of the junior Liens of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the Term Loan Priority Collateral) or the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (after taking into account the senior Lien of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral).

(b) None of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Facility Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (after taking into account the senior Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, on the Term Loan Priority Collateral) or the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (without regard to the existence of the junior Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral).

5.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Term Loan Document or any ABL Facility Document;

(ii) except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, any change permitted hereunder in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification permitted hereunder, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any Term Loan Document or any ABL Facility Document;

(iii) except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, any exchange of any security interest in any Term Loan Priority Collateral or any ABL Facility Priority Collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification permitted hereunder, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(iv) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Grantor; or

any enforcement of Liens by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent (provided, that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent has received notice thereof) or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent) any Patent, Trademark or proprietary information of such Grantor that is subject to a Lien held by the Term Loan Collateral Agent (or any Patent, Trademark or proprietary information acquired by such purchaser, assignee or transferee from any Grantor, as the case may be) and (b) grants, in its capacity as a secured party (or as a purchaser, assignee or transferee, as the case may be), to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent a non-exclusive royalty-free license to use for a period not to exceed 180 days (commencing with (x) the initiation of any enforcement of Liens by any of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or (y) the purchase, assignment or transfer, as the case may be (provided, in each case, that the ABL Facility Collateral Agent has received notice thereof)) any Patent, Trademark or proprietary information that is subject to a Lien held by the Term Loan Collateral Agent (or subject to such purchase, assignment or transfer, as the case may be), in each case in connection with the enforcement of any Lien held by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent upon any Inventory or other ABL Facility Priority Collateral of any Grantor and to the extent the use of such Patent, Trademark or proprietary information is necessary or appropriate, in the good faith opinion of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, to process, ship, produce, store, complete, supply, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of any such Inventory in any lawful manner.

In no event shall any ABL Facility Secured Party have any liability to the Term Loan Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) or otherwise as a result of any condition on or with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Facility Secured Parties of their access rights under this Section 6.3(b), and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Loan Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the access and/or use thereof by the ABL Facility Secured Parties.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and

any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to each Borrower or any other Grantor shall include such Borrower or such Grantor as debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for each Borrower or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor any other Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights, obligations, interests or privileges are directly affected (including any amendment to the Grantors’ ability to cause Additional Term Priority Obligations to constitute Term Loan Obligations as the Borrower and/or any other Grantor may designate).

(a) It is understood that each Directing Collateral Agent, without the consent of any Secured Party, may in its discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate (i) to facilitate having any Additional Term Priority Obligations become Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to give effect to any amendments contemplated by Section 3.4(f) or Section 4.4(f) in connection with a Permitted Refinancing of Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations, as applicable and (iii) to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing such Additional Term Priority Obligations shall have the same priority (or junior priority) as the Liens on any Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, existing immediately prior to the incurrence of the Additional Term Priority Obligations.

No Collateral Agent or its respective Secured Parties shall have any duty to advise the other Collateral Agents or their respective Secured Parties of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any of the Term Loan Collateral Agents or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party hereto, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and such informing party shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve the Borrower or any other Grantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Borrower’s or such Grantor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral pledged by it or from any liability to any Person under or in respect of any of such Collateral or impose any obligation on any Collateral Agent to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Borrower’s or such other Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on any Collateral Agent for any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or such other Grantor relative thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Borrower or such other Grantor contained in this Agreement or any ABL Facility Document or Term Loan Document, or in respect of the Collateral pledged by it. The obligations of the Borrower and each other Grantor contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrower’s or such other Grantor’s other obligations hereunder.

(b) Each of the Collateral Agents acknowledges and agrees that it has not made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other ABL Facility Document or Term Loan Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agents and the Administrative Agents will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with applicable law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.

8.16. Additional Grantors. The Borrower will cause each Person that becomes a Grantor to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the parties hereto an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, whereupon such Person will be

bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Borrower shall promptly provide each Collateral Agent with a copy of each Intercreditor Agreement Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 8.16.

8.17. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Facility Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Facility Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

8.18. Subrogation. (a) Subject to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, with respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that the ABL Facility Secured Parties or ABL Facility Collateral Agent pay over to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the other Term Loan Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement with respect to any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to the rights of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent and such other Term Loan Secured Parties; provided that, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred. The Borrower and each other Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties and paid over to the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties pursuant to, and applied in accordance with, this Agreement, shall not relieve or reduce any of the Term Loan Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Term Loan Documents.

(a) Subject to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, with respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that the Term Loan Secured Parties or Term Loan Collateral Agent pay over to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or any of the other ABL Facility Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement with respect to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to the rights of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties; provided that, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred. The Borrower and each other Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Parties and paid over to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties pursuant to, and applied in accordance with, this Agreement, shall not relieve or reduce any of the ABL Facility Obligations owed by each Borrower or any other Grantor under the ABL Facility Documents.

(a) Subject to compliance with following clause (c), upon any Refinancing in full of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Grantors will be permitted to designate the respective agreement which refinances the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, as the replacement ABL Facility Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, in which case such designated agreement shall thereafter

constitute the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, for purposes hereof; provided that the parties to each predecessor ABL Facility Credit Agreement and/or Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, shall continue to be bound by (and entitled to the benefits of) the provisions hereof (including without limitation Section 8.17 hereof) as applied to such agreements, the related agreements and all obligations thereunder prior to the Refinancing thereof.

(b) Subject to compliance with following clause (c), the Grantors shall also be permitted from time to time to designate as an additional holder of Term Loan Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes or who is to become, the holder of any Additional Term Priority Obligations.

(c) Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Refinancing ABL Facility Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement (as contemplated by preceding clause (a)) or any such Additional Term Priority Obligations (as contemplated by preceding clause (b)):

(i) the Borrower shall deliver to each Collateral Agent an officer’s certificate stating that the applicable Grantors (x) in the case of preceding clause (a), intend to enter or have entered into a Refinancing in full of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, that the Refinancing of such agreement shall thereafter (upon such Refinancing in full) constitute the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of such Refinancing is permitted by the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement (exclusive of any such agreement which is then being Refinanced in full), or (y) in the case of preceding clause (b), intend to enter or have entered into an Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement, and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of such Additional Term Priority Obligations and the Liens securing such Additional Term Priority Obligations are permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and each then extant Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement, as applicable. Any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agent, Term Loan Collateral Agent and ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the determination of the Borrower that such issuance and/or incurrence does not violate the provisions of the Term Loan Documents, the ABL Facility Documents or any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreement that is set forth in such officer’s certificate delivered to the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the each applicable Grantor has complied with its undertakings in the Term Loan Documents, the ABL Facility Documents or the Additional Term Priority Obligations Agreements;

(ii) (x) in the case of preceding clause (a), the Borrower shall provide written notice to each then existing ABL Facility Collateral Agent and Term Loan Collateral Agent of the new ABL Facility Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the case may be, together with copies thereof, and identifying the new Collateral Agent thereunder (such new collateral agent, the “New ABL Facility Collateral Agent” or “New Term Priority Agent”, as the case may be), and providing its notice information for purposes hereof, and such New ABL Facility Collateral Agent or New Term Priority Agent, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, or (y) in the case of preceding clause (b), the Additional Term Priority Obligations Agent for such Additional Term Priority Obligations shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agents an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder acknowledging that such holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to Term Loan Secured Parties or the ABL Facility Secured Parties, as applicable;

(d) In each case above, each Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement) as the Borrower, any Collateral Agent (but no other Secured Party) or any Additional Term Priority Obligations Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to it the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) In the case of a designation of a new Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to preceding clause (a), the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower or such New Term Priority Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Term Priority Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New Term Priority Agent any Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral held by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Term Priority Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Term Loan Priority Collateral). The New Term Priority Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Term Loan Priority Obligations under the new Term Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors that do not also secure the ABL Facility Priority Obligations, then the ABL Facility Priority Obligations shall be secured at such time by a similarly perfected Lien on such assets, which Lien shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) In the case of a designation of a new ABL Facility Credit Agreement pursuant to preceding clause (a), the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower and/or any Grantor or such New ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New ABL Facility Collateral Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New ABL Facility Collateral Agent any Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral held by the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New ABL Facility Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Facility Priority Collateral). The New ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new ABL Facility Priority Obligations under the new ABL Facility Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors that do not also secure the Term Loan Priority Obligations, then the Term Loan Priority Obligations shall be secured at such time by a similarly perfected Lien on such assets, which Lien shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to permit or prohibit the incurrence of any additional Indebtedness by any Grantor, unless any such incurrence is otherwise permitted or prohibited, as the case may be, by the terms of each then applicable Term Loan Document and ABL Facility Document.

(a) The Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent (solely as among the Term Loan Secured Parties in such capacity and solely for their mutual benefit) shall have the sole right and power, as among the Term Loan Collateral Agents and the Term Loan Secured Parties, to take and direct any right or remedy with respect to Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Term Loan Documents. The Term Loan Secured Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, the Term Loan Secured Parties further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders) as

agent for the Term Loan Secured Parties, or any of the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent’s agents shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement); provided that Term Loan Secured Parties may exercise customary rights of set-off against depository or other accounts maintained with them in accordance with the terms of the relevant Term Loan Document or applicable law. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Term Loan Secured Party, other than the Directing Term Loan Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent (solely as among the ABL Facility Secured Parties in such capacity and solely for their mutual benefit) shall have the sole right and power, as among the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, to take and direct any right or remedy with respect to Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant ABL Facility Documents. The ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the ABL Facility Collateral Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, the ABL Facility Secured Parties further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders) as agent for the ABL Facility Secured Parties, or any of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent’s agents shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement); provided that ABL Facility Secured Parties may exercise customary rights of set-off against depository or other accounts maintained with them in accordance with the terms of the relevant ABL Facility Document or applicable law. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no ABL Facility Secured Party, other than the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

SECURED PARTY], as [ ]

This Exhibit K is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutch auction procedures to be utilized in connection with Section 2.15 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of May 8, 2015, among Jill Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Jill Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, amended and restated, amended and extended, supplemented or modified, the “Credit Agreement”), of which this Exhibit K is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of a modified Dutch auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable offering document (the “Offer Document”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective Affiliates, or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons makes any recommendation pursuant to any Offer Document as to whether or not any Lender should sell any Term Loans to each of Holdings, the Borrower, the Sponsor, or any of their respective Affiliates, including any Subsidiaries of Holdings or the Borrower (collectively, the “Affiliated Persons” and each an “Affiliated Person”) pursuant to any Offer Documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell any of its Term Loans to any of the respective Affiliated Persons be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Term Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor and/or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant Offer Documents. The Affiliated Persons may tender Return Bids (as defined below) and participate in Auctions on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit K and the applicable Offer Documents, and such participation may not be deemed a recommendation to any Lender to submit a Return Bid or to take part in this or any other Auction. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit K have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary. The Affiliated Persons may conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class) (each, an “Auction”). The aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans (or Term Loans of any particular Class) so purchased by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Affiliated Borrower Lenders” and each an “Affiliated Borrower Lender”) shall automatically be cancelled and retired by such Affiliated Borrower Lender, on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold). The Affiliated Sponsor Lenders shall not be permitted to hold an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans (of all Classes) that represents more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans (of all Classes) at any time (the “Maximum Permitted Affiliated Holding”).

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the applicable Affiliated Persons will provide notification to the Auction Manager for distribution to the Lenders of the Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class) that will be the subject of such Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum

principal amount of Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class) that the Affiliated Person is willing to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of thereof (unless other amounts are agreed to by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) at which the Affiliated Person would be willing to purchase such Term Loans in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. New York time, as such date and time may be extended (such time, the “Expiration Time”). Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Affiliated Persons to the Auction Manager not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the Expiration Time; provided, however, that only one extension per Return Bid shall be permitted (unless otherwise agreed by the Auction Manager). An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (x) the Affiliated Persons withdraw such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Affiliated Persons shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous Auction.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective Offer Documents (each, a “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) of Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class) (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class), in an amount not less than $1,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Auction Manager) or an integral multiple in excess thereof, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”). A Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans (or Term Loans of a particular Class) held by such Lender. The Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form included in the Offer Documents (each, an “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”). The Affiliated Persons will not have any obligation to purchase any Term Loans at a price outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids tendered outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below) or satisfaction of the Maximum Permitted Affiliated Holding.

Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the

Affiliated Persons, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Affiliated Persons to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans (or Term Loans of any particular Class) for which the Affiliated Person has received Return Bids within the Discount Range); provided that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by the Affiliated Sponsor Lenders shall not exceed the Maximum Permitted Affiliated Holding. The Affiliated Persons shall purchase Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All principal amount of Term Loans included in Return Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Lender offered in Qualifying Bids with Reply Prices lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), or (b) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased pursuant to such Auction would cause the Affiliated Sponsor Lenders to hold an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans that exceeds the Maximum Permitted Affiliated Holding, the Affiliated Persons shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the lower of (x) the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount and (y) the highest amount that would not cause the Affiliated Sponsor Lenders to exceed the Maximum Permitted Affiliated Holding. No Return Bids will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto the Platform by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. The Auction Manager will promptly destroy any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

Additional Procedures. Once an Auction is initiated by an Auction Notice, the Affiliated Persons may withdraw an Auction only in the event that (i) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager or (ii) at the time of purchase, the conditions set forth in Section 2.15(a) of the Credit Agreement cannot be met. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may be terminated by the applicable Affiliated Persons if the

conditions to the purchase of Term Loans by the Affiliated Persons required by the terms and conditions of Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price in respect of each Qualifying Bid shall be paid [directly to the respective assigning Lender] [to the Auction Manager on behalf of the respective assigning Lender] on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Affiliated Persons (which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the date Return Bids are due).

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Affiliated Persons, and its determination will be final and binding. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Documents, in consultation with the Affiliated Persons, will be final and binding.

This Exhibit K shall not require the Affiliated Persons to undertake any Auction.
