2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight (8) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans in the aggregate for all Tranches of Term Loans (or such greater number as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

2.03. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) LIBOR Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of each LIBOR Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) if the Term Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Incremental Term Loans, the specific Tranche thereof and (iv) 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 which is required to make Term Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) 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 may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent 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 such Borrowing or prepayment of Term Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. 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 Closing 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 date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) 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. Term 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 (i) in the case of Term Loans made on the Closing Date, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”) and (ii) in the case of Extended Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Extended Term Note”).

(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 Term 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, Term Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Term Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Term Note evidencing its Term Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay 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 the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Term 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 Term Note to evidence any of its Term Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Term Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Term Loans.

2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Term Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Term Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Term Loans being converted 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, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, three (3) Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one (1) 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, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its 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 Term Loan 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 Sections 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 Sections 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.0% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche of Term Loans from time to time and (ii) without duplication of any amounts payable under preceding clause (i), (x) overdue principal or overdue fees under Section 3.01(c) and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Term Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.0% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche of Term Loans from time to time and (y) all overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2.0% in excess of the rate applicable to Term Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans of any Tranche, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each 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 any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period or (y) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such other period not to exceed one-month, provided that (in each case):

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

(ii) 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;

(iii) 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;

(iv) 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;

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

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

If by 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of 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 (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, including: (A) any such change subjecting any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b), (c), and (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the LIBO Rate with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market;

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 no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent withdraws such notice (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw promptly upon a determination that the condition or situation which gave rise to such notice no longer exists), and any Notice of Borrowing or 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 reasonable 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, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto; provided that such Lender need not be required to disclose any price sensitive or confidential information or any such information to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any 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 (x) 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 (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice 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 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 liquidity requirements, 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 or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or liquidity. 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 that such Lender need not be required to disclose any price sensitive or confidential information or any such information to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation.

(d) 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 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).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

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: (i) 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 a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 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; (iii) 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 (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Term Note held by such Lender or (y) 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, 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. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) 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 (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in

Section 12.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 12.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Acceptance Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Term Loan Commitments and 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 (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees (if any) owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01; and

(b) all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Acceptance 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 Acceptance Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Term Note or Term 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 Term Loan Commitments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right (in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent) to request, at any time after the Syndication Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, and all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto, shall

be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (whether constituting a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or being added to (and thereafter constituting a part of) a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $5,000,000 (or such lower amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other integral multiple as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount at such time, (vi) the upfront fees, original issue discount, and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees, payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the Borrower and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender, (vii) except to the extent permitted by Section 2.14(c), each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall (A) have an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (B) have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Term Loans and (C) be subject to the Applicable Margins as are set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement governing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up front or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (y) four years) payable to all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and any LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up-front or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over four years) originally payable to all Lenders providing the Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loans theretofore incurred and any LIBO Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans) relating to the Term Loans and then outstanding by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins relating to the Term Loans and then outstanding shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins (determined as provided above) relating to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%, (viii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 7.08(b), (ix) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate the Tranche or Tranches of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche unless the requirements of Section 2.14(c) are satisfied), (x) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranty, and (xi) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(c) and such Incremental Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower, each other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an

“Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided therein (and the making of the respective Incremental Term Loans thereunder) to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 1.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.14, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2, B-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.)), provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added; provided, however, if the up-front fees and/or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (y) four years) payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the up-front fees and/or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Term Loans and (y) four years) originally payable to the Lenders that provided the Tranche of Term Loans to which such Incremental Term Loans are to be added by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Term Loans shall be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to eliminate any such deficiency in excess of 0.50%;

(ii) the new Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Term Loan Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans proportionately); and

(iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the

respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of LIBOR Loans of the respective Tranche of Term Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding LIBOR Loans of the respective Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding LIBOR Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

2.15. Extension of Term Loans. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.15, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans under the same Tranche with a like Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans of such Tranche with a like Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time following the Closing Date 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 of such Tranche 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/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension” and any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Tranche 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 have the same terms as the Tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date then in effect);

(iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date then in effect hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Extended Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.02(a) for periods prior to the initial Maturity Date for the Tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted may not be increased from the amounts in effect prior to any 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 Term Loans extended thereby;

(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 voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments 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 with Term Loans 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, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(viii) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent;

(ix) no more than two (2) Extensions may be effected in respect of Term Loans (unless the Administrative Agent agrees to a higher number); and

(x) the Extension shall not become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of the Extension, (x) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of each Credit Party dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such Extension, (y) (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the applicable date of such Extension (it being understood and agreed that (a) any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such date and (b) any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or all respects, as the case may be) only as of such specified date) and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

In connection with each Extension Offer, each relevant Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall determine whether it wishes to participate in the respective Extension contemplated by such Extension Offer. Any relevant Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer within the time period contemplated by the applicable Extension Offer shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Offer. The election of any relevant Lender to agree to an Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement (including Section 4.01, 4.02, 12.02 or 12.06) and (ii) no Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $25,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”) (or if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof) (or such lesser minimum amount

reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (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 or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15, provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of an Extension Offer.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrower (and the other applicable Credit Parties) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to establish new Tranches, Loans or Commitments in respect of Term Loans so extended and/or established and such technical and conforming amendments as may be necessary in connection with the Extension and/or establishment of such new Tranches, Loans or commitments related thereto in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to amend) any Mortgage that has a Maturity Date prior to the then latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 15 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, regarding 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 2.15.

2.16. Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, conduct Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction” and each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.16 and as otherwise established by the Administrative Agent;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $25,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and the offered purchase price shall be at a discount to par;

(iv) Term Loans may not be purchased with the proceeds of loans under any Permitted Revolving Credit Facility or with the proceeds of loans under any other revolving Indebtedness;

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

(vii) no more than three (3) Auctions may be effected in any twelve month period (unless a higher number is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(viii) each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders of the relevant Tranche on a pro rata basis;

(ix) the Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction, no Credit Party shall have any MNPI that both (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive such MNPI) prior to such time and (B) would reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in the Auction;

(x) the Minimum Liquidity Condition has been satisfied at such time and immediately after giving effect to the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction; and

(xi) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii), (iv), (ix) and (x) (and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iv) and (x)).

(b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to, but not including (if paid prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time)) the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement (including Sections 4.01, 4.02, 12.02 or 12.06) (although the par principal amount of Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be applied to reduce the remaining Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans of the applicable Lenders being repaid on a pro rata basis).

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.01, 4.02, 12.02 and 12.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.16 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16 or result in a Default or an Event of Default as a result of the Auction or purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Sections 11 and 12.01 mutatis mutandis 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 Auction.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, any new lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt will be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Other Term Loans) in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with, or at the option of the Borrower, may be subordinated in right of payment and/or security (or be unsecured) to the other Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional redemption terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) the effective yield with respect to each Tranche of Other Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) thereunder may be different than the effective yield for the Term Loans of other Tranche or Tranches of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iv) except as may be agreed to by the Lenders and any new lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the respective Refinancing Amendment, each Tranche of Other Term Loans shall be prepaid and repaid on a pro rata basis with all voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments (but not amortization payments) of the other Tranches of Term Loans (and the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender or, with the consent of the Borrower and, to the extent such consent would be required under Section 12.04 with respect to an assignment of Term Loans to such person, the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any person that would be an Eligible Transferee may provide Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the absence of a continuing Default or Event of Default and such other conditions, if any, as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or, if necessary, such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including mortgage amendments) in order to ensure that the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Credit Documents. Any Other Term Loans converted from or exchanged for any then-existing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Other Term Loan.

(c) 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 (without any consent from any Lender) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments) and (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 12.12(e). Additionally, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment in connection with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 2.20 that is subordinated in right of payment and/or lien priority, the Credit Parties and the Collateral Agent will enter into intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent without the consent of any Lender.

(d) 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 and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment, and this Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.06 or Section 12.12 to the contrary.

Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Event.

3.02. Mandatory Reduction of Term Loan Commitments. (a) The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall terminate in its entirety on July 27, 2015, unless the Closing Date has occurred on or prior to such date.

(c) The Other Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche resulting from a Refinancing Amendment shall automatically terminate upon the conversion or refinancing, as the case may be, of all or a portion of the relevant Term Loans as provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment.

(d) The Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche on such date).

4.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loans, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.11, clause (vi) of this Section 4.01(a), any Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement or any Extension Offer), in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans and (y) at least three (3) 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 whether Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans under a given Tranche, Extended Term Loans under a given Tranche or Other Term Loans under a given Tranche shall be prepaid, 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 Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case); 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 Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Term Loans; (iv) except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.15 with respect to any Tranche of Extended Term Loans or as permitted in any Refinancing Amendment with respect to any Tranche of Other Term Loans or pursuant to Section 2.16, each prepayment in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be allocated among each of the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of such prepayment; (v) except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.15 with respect to any Tranche of Extended Term Loans or as permitted in any Refinancing Amendment with respect to any Tranche of Other Term Loans or pursuant to Section 2.16, each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in the direct order of maturity thereof) and (vi) any prepayment of Term Loans made on or prior to the six month anniversary date of the Closing Date in connection with a Repricing Event shall be accompanied by the payment of the fee described in Section 3.01(c).

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the

Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Term Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said 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 any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in the direct order of maturity thereof).

(a) (i) Term Loans Made on the Closing Date. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of 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 2.16, 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 4.02(f) or (y) increased as provided in Section 2.14(c), a “Scheduled Term Loan Repayment”):

(ii) Incremental Term Loans. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.

(iii) Extended Term Loans. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each Tranche of Extended Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Extended Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Extension Offer.

(iv) Other Term Loans. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, the Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each Tranche of Other Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Other Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Refinancing Amendment.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Closing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 as in effect on the Closing Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective 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 pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Closing Date upon which the Borrower 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 Default or Event of Default then exists and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to acquire assets (other than inventory and working capital) used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.13 (x) within 360 days following the date of such Asset Sale or (y) if the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof enters into a legally binding commitment to use such Net Sale Proceeds before the expiration of the 360-day period referred to in preceding clause (x), within 90 days after the end of such 360-day 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 360-day period (as such period may be extended as permitted above) (or, in either case, such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 4.02(c) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder of (if positive) of (A) the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (B) without duplication of amounts previously deducted in calculating Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period, the aggregate principal amount of voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 4.01 (other than any payments made pursuant to Section 2.16 or any Auction, except to the extent of the amount of cash actually used to make such repurchases) during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period to the extent (and only to the extent) made with internally generated funds of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g).

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on 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 Cash Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $1,000,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash 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 Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Borrower has (x) delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within 360 days following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended) or (y) if the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof has entered into a legally binding commitment to use such Net Cash Proceeds to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid before the expiration of the 360-day period referred to in preceding clause (x), within 90 days after the end of such 360-day period; provided further that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 360 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (as such date may be extended as permitted above)(or, in either case, such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 4.02(e) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(f) Except as permitted in Section 2.15 with respect to any Tranche of Extended Term Loans and except as permitted in any Refinancing Amendment with respect to any Tranche of Other Term Loans, 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 each Tranche of Term Loans, with each Tranche of Term Loans to receive its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of each such repayment. Except as permitted in Section 2.15 with respect to any Tranche of Extended Term Loans and except as permitted in any Refinancing Amendment with respect to any Tranche of Other Term Loans, each repayment of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be applied (I) first, to reduce the first eight immediately succeeding Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans (after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto) as of the date of the respective payments pursuant to this Section 4.02(f) in direct order of maturity and (II) second, to the extent in excess thereof, on a pro rata basis to the remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Term Loan Repayment of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(g) With respect to each repayment of Term Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to

which such LIBOR Loans were made; provided that: (i) repayments of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all LIBOR Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of 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) each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among 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, make such designation in its sole discretion.

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

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, (i) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans, Lenders may waive by written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such mandatory prepayment would otherwise be required to be made hereunder the right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans, (ii) if any Lender or Lenders elect to waive the right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment (any such waived amounts being referred to herein as the “Declined Proceeds”), all of the amount that otherwise would have been applied to mandatorily prepay Term Loans of such Lender or Lenders shall be offered by Borrower to the remaining non-waiving Lender or Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans, (iii) if and to the extent any such non-waiving Lender does not elect by written notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date on which the offer is made pursuant to clause (ii) above to accept such offer, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected such offer and (iv) to the extent there are any prepayment amounts remaining after the foregoing application, such amounts that are then held by the Administrative Agent shall be paid promptly by the Administrative Agent to Borrower.

(j) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Restricted Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 4.02(c), Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 4.02(d) or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event from a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.02(e), is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being distributed or otherwise transferred to Borrower, the portion of such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 4.02(c), 4.02(d) or 4.02(e), as applicable, or Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment at the time provided in this Section 4.02, as the case may be. Instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit such distribution or transfer (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such distribution or transfer), and once such distribution or transfer of any of such affected Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such distribution or transfer will be promptly effected and such distributed or transferred Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such distribution or transfer) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.02 to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that Borrower has determined in good faith and as has been agreed by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) that distribution or other transfer of any of or all the Net Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit

or benefit received in connection with such distribution or transfer and, for the avoidance of doubt, consumption of any net operating loss shall be deemed to be a material adverse tax consequence) with respect to such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 4.02(c), 4.02(d) or 4.02(e), as applicable, (x) Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds had been received by Borrower rather than such Restricted Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds had been distributed or transferred (or, if less, the Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Restricted Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Sale Proceeds, Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided further that any such retained amount shall not be utilized to increase the Cumulative Amount.

4.03. Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Term Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Term 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.

(b) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder and under any Term Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. 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) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. 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 Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such

Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising there from 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) Indemnification by the Lenders. 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 the 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) Evidence of Payments. As soon as 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) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Recipient 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 Recipient, 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 Recipient 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 clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(C) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(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 on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed 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 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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;

(iii) in the case of a 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 D-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) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such 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 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 or documentation prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any 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) 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.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, 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 appropriate Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that (w) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a refund for any Taxes, (x) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Tax refund with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Credit Party pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) shall be treated as an Indemnified Tax for which the Credit Party is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses, and (y) nothing in this Section 4.04(g) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to a Credit Party (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (z) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists; provided that any such refund that would be required to be paid to the applicable Credit Party pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) that is retained by such Lender shall instead be credited against the amount of Obligations otherwise owed to such Lender.

(h) Survival. 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 Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

The obligation of each Lender to make Term Loans on the Closing Date is subject at the time of the making of such Term Loans to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

5.01. This Agreement; Term Notes. (i) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have signed a counterpart of this Agreement (whether the same or different counterparts) and (ii) there shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Lenders that has requested same the appropriate Term Note executed by the Borrower, in each case in the amount, maturity and as otherwise provided herein.

All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements.

(ii) The pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and the related pro forma consolidated statements of income of the Borrower for 12-month period ended on such date (after giving effect to the Transaction and the financing therefor), a copy of which has been furnished to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date, presents a good faith estimate of the pro forma consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such date. Such pro forma financial statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in such financial statements which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the Borrower regarding the matters reported therein.

(b) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts, that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results included in such Projections, and that such differences may be material.

(c) On and as of the Closing Date and the date of each incurrence of Incremental Term Loans thereafter, and after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Term Loans) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Credit Parties in connection therewith, (i) the sum of the fair value of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Borrower and its Restricted

Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed their debts, (ii) the sum of the present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed their debts, (iii) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) have not incurred and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iv) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their businesses.

The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(d) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.05(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement, there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.05(a) or referred to in the immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(e) After giving effect to the Transaction (but for this purpose assuming that the Transaction and the related financing had occurred prior to January 3, 2015), since January 3, 2015, there has been no change in the business, operations, property, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

7.06. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to the Transaction or any Document, other than as set forth on Schedule 7.06, or (ii) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

7.07. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) for purposes of or in connection with the Transaction, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 7.07, such factual information shall not include the Projections or any pro forma financial information.

7.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of the Term Loans incurred by the Borrower on the Closing Date will be used to finance, in part, the Acquisition and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.

(b) All proceeds of Incremental Term Loans will be used to finance Permitted Acquisitions, to refinance existing Indebtedness of the business acquired in a Permitted Acquisition and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(c) All proceeds of Other Term Loans incurred pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment under Section 2.17 will be used for the purposes described in the applicable Refinancing Amendment.

(d) No part of any Term Loan (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Term Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

7.09. Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all federal and state, local, and foreign returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. From and after the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any tax sharing or similar agreement.

Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations; (ii) each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all applicable tax law changes or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS, and to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such determination or Borrower’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s reliance thereon (or, in the case of a Plan with no determination, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification); (iii) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (iv) there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan; (v) there are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan; (vi) the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate have made all material contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan

required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan; (vii) no Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; (viii) the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate have not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions; (ix) no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate exists on account of any Plan; (x) none of the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability under Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA; (ix) each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made; (xii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan; and (xiii) the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

8.08. End of Fiscal Years. The Borrower will cause its fiscal years to end on the date described in the definition of “Fiscal Year” of each calendar year; provided that the Borrower may permit any Subsidiary acquired on or after the Closing Date to maintain the accounting periods of such Subsidiary in effect for such Subsidiary immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition for a reasonable period thereafter.

8.09. Performance of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, indenture, security agreement, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other agreement, contract or instrument by which it is bound, except such non-performances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.10. Payment of Taxes. The Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien or charge upon any properties of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted under Section 9.01(i); provided that neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with respect to such contested Tax in accordance with GAAP.

8.11. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Term Loans only as provided in Section 7.08.

8.12. Additional Security; Further Assurances; etc. (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors security interests and Mortgages in such assets and Real Property of the Borrower and such other Credit Party as are not covered by the original Security Documents, other than Excluded Property (as defined in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement), and as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”). All such security interests and Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid, enforceable and perfected security interests, hypothecations and Mortgages superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and enforceable against third parties and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens or, in the case of Real Property, the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto. The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall be duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this

Section 8.12(a) shall not apply to (and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall not be required to grant a Mortgage in) (i) any fee-owned Real Property the Fair Market Value of which is less than $2,500,000 or (ii) any Leasehold (unless, in either case, a Mortgage on any such Real Property (including Leaseholds) is granted (or required to be granted) under the Permitted Revolving Credit Facility Documents).

(b) The Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Credit Parties to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, landlord waivers and other assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require. Furthermore, the Borrower will, and will cause the other Credit Parties that are Subsidiaries of the Borrower to, deliver to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 8.12 has been complied with.

(c) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably determine that they are required by law or regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties constituting Collateral, the Borrower will, at its own expense, provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Borrower agrees that each action required by clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 8.12 shall be completed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days (or 60 days in the case of a Mortgage on Real Property) after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that, in no event will the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 8.12 (it being understood that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not include the payment of any amount to third parties other than the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to any such third party in connection therewith).

8.13. Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower may at any time after the Closing Date designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) (A) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) in the case of a designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, immediately before and after such designation, as of the date of such designation, Consolidated EBITDA of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries must not represent more than 10% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated as if all Subsidiaries are Restricted Subsidiaries), (C) Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (x) written notice of such designation and (y) a certificate, dated the effective date of such designation, of an Authorized Officer stating that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance on a Pro Forma Basis the foregoing requirement in the preceding clause (B); and (D) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary more than once. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a

Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the Borrower in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary. In addition, as at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated EBITDA of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries to exceed more than 10% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated as if all Subsidiaries are Restricted Subsidiaries). In no event shall Lattice Semiconductor Limited, a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, or Lattice SG Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore, be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

8.14. Certain Matters Relating to Target. To the extent (i) the Target is not a direct Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower and a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date or (ii) the domestic assets of the Target and its Subsidiaries have not been contributed directly to the Borrower on Closing Date (including by way of a merger of Target with and into the Borrower), then the Borrower shall cause either (a) the Target to become a direct Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower (which Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor and shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.12) or (b) the domestic assets of the Target and its Subsidiaries to be contributed directly to the Borrower (including by way of a merger of Target with and into the Borrower), in each case, no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date.

8.15. Permitted Acquisitions. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.15 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and/or one or more of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of any Permitted Acquisition (or such shorter period of time as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the principal terms and conditions of such Permitted Acquisition and the proposed closing date thereof; (iii) the Total Leverage Ratio of the Borrower for the respective Calculation Period on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated after the first day of such Calculation Period) had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period shall not exceed 2.10:1.00; (iv) if the Aggregate Consideration payable for the proposed Permitted Acquisition equals or exceeds $25,000,000, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (I) the historical audited financial statements of the potential Acquired Entity or Business for the three immediately preceding fiscal years of such Acquired Entity or Business (or, if less, the number of years available) and unaudited financial statements thereof for the most recent interim period that is available, (II) a due diligence package (including quality of earnings reports, environmental reports and similar third party reports (to the extent available)) and (III) any executed term sheets and/or letters of intent and copies of executed acquisition purchase documentation, and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, such other information and documents available to the Borrower that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to such Permitted Acquisition; (v) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), (it being understood that (x) any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date and (y) any representation and warranty that which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or all respects, as the case may be) only as of such specified date); (vi) in the case of a Permitted Acquisition by or of a Foreign Subsidiary (or an Acquired Entity or

Business a substantial portion of whose assets are located outside the United States), the Aggregate Consideration payable for the proposed Permitted Acquisition, when added to the Aggregate Consideration paid or payable for all other similar Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated since the Closing Date, shall not exceed the sum of (I) $100,000,000 and (II) the Net Equity Proceeds Amount as in effect immediately before the respective Permitted Acquisition; and (vii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of such officer’s knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and (vii), inclusive, and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) and projections required by preceding clauses (iii) and (vi).

(c) The Borrower will cause each Subsidiary which is formed to effect, or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and to execute and deliver all of the documentation as and to the extent required by, Sections 8.12 and 9.14, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

(d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the certifications pursuant to this Section 8.15 are true and correct and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Section 7 and Section 10.

whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or sell any such property or assets subject to an understanding or agreement, contingent or otherwise, to repurchase such property or assets (including sales of accounts receivable with recourse to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), or assign any right to receive income or permit the filing of any financing statement under the UCC or any other similar notice of Lien under any similar recording or notice statute; provided that the provisions of this Section 9.01 shall not prevent the creation, incurrence, assumption or existence of the following (Liens described below are herein referred to as “Permitted Liens”):

Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Term Note by the acceptance of such Term Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

(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 applicable UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in assets in which, in accordance with the applicable UCC or any other applicable legal requirement a security interest can be perfected by possession or control.

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 Term 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. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Lead Arrangers, syndication agent and documentation agent are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities 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 the Lead Arrangers, syndication agent and 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 Lead Arrangers, syndication agent and documentation 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.

11.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower 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 (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower 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 Term 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Term 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, any Collateral or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

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

11.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors.

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

penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The agreements in this Section 11.06 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 11.06 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

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,” “Holder of Term Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

11.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term 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 Term Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued in exchange therefor.

11.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 then exists, 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.

(b) 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 then exists).

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

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative

Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 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) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

11.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Term 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, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Term Loan Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) 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) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or the last sentence of each of Sections 9.01 and 9.02. 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.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 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).

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, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) 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, unless such amounts have been indemnified by any Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantor or the relevant Lender.

11.13. The Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claims. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding 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, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) 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 Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) 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 Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent the Loan Documents.

12.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Proskauer Rose LLP and the Administrative Agent’s other counsel and consultants) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and

administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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 fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, counsel for each of the Lenders); and (ii) indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees, controlling persons, attorneys-in fact and 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 attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements (but limited to one counsel for all Indemnified Persons as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected Indemnified Persons as a whole, and if necessary one regulatory counsel, and one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent 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 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 products of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or at, in, on, under, or from any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder), 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 fees and disbursements of counsel (but limited to one counsel for all Indemnified Persons as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected Indemnified Persons as a whole, and if necessary one regulatory counsel, and one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction) and other consultants incurred in connection with any related investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided that no Indemnified person will be entitled to any indemnity under this Section 12.01 to the extent any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (i) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Person, (ii) arose from a material breach of the obligations of an Indemnified Person hereunder (in the case of each of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) or (iii) arose out of any claim that did not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person, provided that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers and any other agents or arrangers will remain indemnified in such cases to the extent acting in such capacities so long as they are otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent 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, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, 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 Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and 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) 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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 12.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, 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 contingent or unmatured. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 12.02 as though it were a Lender; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.06(b) as though it were a Lender.

12.03. Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier) and mailed, telecopied or delivered: if to Borrower or any other Credit Party, at the Borrower’s address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; 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) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders; provided further that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees 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 Term Loan Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 12.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; provided further that 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 any other Credit Document and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Agreement; provided further that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Term Note in which such participant is participating, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), (C) reduce the principal amount thereof or (D) 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 Term Loan Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Term Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Term Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by 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 in Section 12.04(e), the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower assign all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Term Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) one or more other Lenders, (ii) any Affiliate of a Lender or (iii) an Approved Fund; provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender 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 under Section 10.01 or 10.05 then exists and is continuing, the Borrower may otherwise agree) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Term Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Term Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have 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, subject to Section 12.15, become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided that (i) upon the surrender of the relevant Term Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the

Borrower for any lost Term Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Term 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 Term Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Term Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be; (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Sections 10.01 or 10.05 then exists (and, with respect to assignments by Jefferies Finance LLC or any of its Affiliates in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Loans, the Syndication Date has theretofore occurred), the Borrower, 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); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iii) 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 (iv) 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 Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Term Loans. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Term Loan Commitments 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 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

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

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Term Loan Commitments 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 Borrower agrees that each participant of a Term Loan under Section 12.04(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 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; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (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, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. 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 United States 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. No sale or other transfer of any participation or other beneficial ownership interest in the Term Loans shall be effective until such sale or transfer is recorded on the applicable Participant Register and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the selling Lender with respect to such Term Loans shall remain owing to the selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register or Participant Register, as applicable, and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. Sections 12.04(e) and 12.15 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC.

12.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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, the Collateral 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, the Collateral 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, the Collateral 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), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender

receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 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.

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 or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants 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 and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

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

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 MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY

ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY TERM NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

12.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

12.12. Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the Guaranty and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders) (except that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may enter into any amendment of any Credit Document in order to correct any immaterial technical error therein without the consent of the Credit Parties or the Required Lenders); provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than, except with respect to following clause (i), a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clauses (i)(z), (vi) and (vii) or whose Obligations are being extended in the case of following clauses (i)(x) and (y)), (i)(x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Term Note, (y) reduce the amount of, or extend the date of, any Scheduled Term Loan Repayment or (z) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 12.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the

purposes of this clause (i)(z)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents or all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.12(a) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans on the Closing Date), (iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans are included on the Closing Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12.06, except in connection with an amendment that provides for a prepayment of Term Loans by the Borrower (offered ratably to all Lenders with Term Loans under the applicable Tranche) at a discount to par on terms and conditions approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12.04(b) that further restricts assignments thereunder or (viii) have the effect of subordinating the Obligations or Liens created under the Security Documents to any other Indebtedness or Lien; provided further that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Term Loan Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Term Loan Commitment or a mandatory repayment of Term Loans shall not constitute an increase of the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender), (2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (3) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (4) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) or 4.02(f) (it being understood, however, that (x) the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered and (y) any conversion of any Tranche of Term Loans into another Tranche of Term Loans hereunder in like principal amount shall not be considered a “prepayment” or “repayment” for purposes of this clause (4)), or (5) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche affected thereby, amend the definition of Majority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans are included on the Closing Date).

(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), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and (vii), 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 of such Lender, in accordance with Section 4.01(b); provided that, unless the Term Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B)

are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the outstanding Term Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided further that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender 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 the foregoing, (x) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Term Loan Commitments of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment (to the extent not theretofore terminated) and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with Section 12.04) in full of this principal of and interest accrued on each Term Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (x) Security Documents (including any Additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of 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 in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (y) if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and any Credit Party shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents (other than the Security Documents), then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties 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 Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.12, (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14, enter into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement and make any necessary conforming changes to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents consistent therewith, (ii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15(c) and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Other Term Loan Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17, enter into a Refinancing Amendment.

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 Term 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 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, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Term Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Term Loans made by each of the Lenders and each payment of interest on and repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Term Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Term Loan Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Term Loan made pursuant to such Term Loan Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Term Loan 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 Acceptance Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). 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 Acceptance 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 Term Note (if any) evidencing such Term Loan, and thereupon one or more new Term 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.16, each of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees that it will keep confidential any non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in accordance with the customary procedures of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for handling its own confidential information; provided that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or 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(a) by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or 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) in the case of any Lender, to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16, (vii) in connection with the enforcement of its rights or remedies under any of the Credit Documents, (viii) to the extent that such information is received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender from a third party that is not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, subject to confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower, (ix) to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, (x) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (xi) in the case of any Lender, to any prospective or actual transferee, participant or pledgee in connection with any contemplated transfer, participation or pledge of any of the Term Notes, Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, it being understood that no written confidentiality acknowledgment shall be required from such transferee, participant or pledgee, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16, (xii) with the prior consent of the Borrower, (xiii) to the Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, auditors, advisors, experts, professionals or counsel of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or to another Lender if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or the holding or parent company of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, 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 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and (xiv) to ratings agencies.

(b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

12.18. Patriot Act. USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act, Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2006) (as amended from time to time, the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies 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. 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.

12.20. 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. The provisions of this Section 12.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party.

12.21. Absence of Fiduciary Duties. The Borrower agrees (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents and any communications in connection therewith, the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

12.22. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS RANKING PARI PASSU WITH (BUT NOT SENIOR TO) THE LIENS CREATED BY OR PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE PERMITTED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT MAY PROVIDE, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) IN THE EVENT THAT THE PERMITTED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS ENTERED INTO ON A SECURED BASIS, EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE RCF 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 RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND EACH LENDER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.22 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS THAT MAY BE CONTAINED IN THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. UPON ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS TO BE CONTAINED IN THE RCF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS FURTHER AWARE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (OR AN AFFILIATE THEREOF) MAY ALSO ACT IN AN

ADMINISTRATIVE AND COLLATERAL AGENCY CAPACITY UNDER THE PERMITTED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THERETO OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING THEREFROM.]

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.
